Were pharaohs just ‘pyramid scheme’ leaders—or building a true legacy?

We delve into the politics of kingship in ancient Egypt, the significance behind the monumental architecture of Egyptian pyramids, and how these structures have influenced both power and memory up to the present day. Join our special guest Aidan Dodson and host Charlotte Jordan at the Egypt Exploration Society, as we unpack the balance between spectacle, symbolism, and the enduring question of what makes a ruler’s legacy last.
