- replicatorblog 9y agoA bit of a non-sequitur, but I knew very little about Egyptian history and recently decided to listen to a Great Courses series about it. The professor who delivers the lectures, Bob Brier, was amazing. His affect is that of a guy from Brooklyn discussing the Mets, but focusing on pharaohs and hieroglyphs. The course was so well done it inspired me to but a few of his other books and recommendations and start thinking about taking a trip to my Museum's Egyptian collection. https://www.audible.com/pd/History/The-History-of-Ancient-Egypt-Audiobook/B00DICD9BE?ref_=a_search_c4_1_1_srTtl&qid=1494956751&sr=1-1 https://www.audible.com/pd/History/The-History-of-Ancient-Eg...

Overemphasis of the new is an unpleasant side effect of the search/news driven web.
