Kill The Pharaoh | Intrigue in the City of the Dead |Victor Pemberton | BBC Radio Drama

Описание: Beyond the living city lies another — silent, sealed, and watching. In Kill The Pharaoh, the sands of Egypt’s City of the Dead conceal more than tombs: they hide a carefully engineered crime whose echoes still disturb history. ☀️⚱️

🕰️ The Story

As investigators revisit ancient burial sites and long-forgotten records, unsettling questions emerge. Was the Pharaoh’s death an act of divine destiny — or the final move in a ruthless political plot?

The drama unfolds through a web of court intrigue, priestly power, and ritualised violence. In a world where gods legitimised rule and death secured obedience, murder could be both sacred duty and calculated rebellion.

Moving between archaeological discovery and reconstructed ancient testimony, the story reveals how truth was entombed alongside the dead — and how uncovering it now threatens accepted history.

This is a historical mystery where belief is weaponised, and the afterlife becomes the perfect place to hide a crime.
