Extra History Topic Suggestions are OPEN until 6/16!
🕑 Added 2025-06-09 22:00:07 +0000 UTCHello Historians, our next Extra History series theme is Ancient Egypt.
Oh I wish I were back in the land of Sphinxes, pharaohs, cats and mummy jinxes...
For this series we'll be going back to ancient Egypt—pick your Kingdom and Dynasty. But don't feel the need to tie yourself down to when the pharaohs were alive... if you want to learn more about the development of Egyptology and the excavation of tombs rather than the building of them, we'll consider that part of it too.
You can enter YOUR suggestions for the topic HERE in this form.

Some notes about suggestions:
Suggestions should feature content before the 1930s
If a suggestion we encounter only has enough research material/production scope for a one-off episode instead of a full series, we file it in a separate list to reference later when we are planning to schedule a one-off episode between series (this is true for every survey we do).
Only one suggestion per person, please! Multiple suggestions from the same person during any given survey period will be manually removed. Extra History Suggestion Survey is OPEN until 6/16.
We can't wait to read all your suggested topics!

Pre-Dynastic Egypt. What came before Narmer conquered the Nile and founded an empire that ruled for thousands of years before even the most distant ancestor of the language I'm writing this in that can be reconstructed was spoken.

I would pick the second intermediate period, specifically how it was liberated from the Hyksos, you hinted at it in your Akhenaten episode.
