The Maritime History Programme - Episode 6: Sailing into the afterlife

From the funeral procession of pharaoh Khufu, to the 1954 discovery of what is known as the Khufu ship, to the theories about its purpose, construction, and the afterlife, this episode is jam-packed with maritime history and archaeology from the ancient past of Egypt. Another marvelous programme from the brilliant Brandon Huebner. Brandon's boundless enthusiasm for his subject comes across so well in this series. He brings to life events which took place thousands of years ago and he does so in a style that's gentle on the brain. These programmes are beautifully written and constructed. Not to be missed.
