Radio Blue Heart is on the air!

thatlittleegyptologist:

So, you lot enjoyed the live performance of ‘A Man and His Ba’ last night, which is a lamentation text, but would you like to listen to a literary text known as the 'Tale of Sinuhe’?

If so, watch this short primer video by Prof. Richard Parkinson and Barbara Ewing, and then follow the other link provided for the full performance. It’s long, 41 minutes in total, but it’s worth it.

And the link to the full performance:

The Life of Sinuhe | University of Oxford Podcasts - Audio and Video Lectures
An ancient Egyptian tells his life-story from the walls of his tomb, c. 1850 BC. Read by Barbara Ewing. Translated by Richard Bruce Park

You’ve heard all the Epics of other Ancient civilisations, so here is one from Ancient Egypt. Since texts from Egypt aren’t particularly thought of as impressive, I thought I’d hype what we do have.
