171: Law & Order (Special Ma'at Unit)
O epizodě podcastu
Horemheb's Great Decree. Sometime during his reign, King Horemheb proclaimed a new set of laws . Taking aim at corruption and abuses-of-power (allegedly happening throughout Egypt), the pharaoh went hard on corrective measures. Punishments could range from beatings to disfigurement, exile, and death. Horemheb was not messing around. But what was he really trying to achieve?
