26 - Pyramid Building and Social Order

In this episode we bring together a few topics we've covered before--Ziggurats, Power Religion, and Egyptian beliefs--as we consider the great pyramids. It's still a mystery how exactly the pyramids were built, but we're busy with a different question: Why?

This Episode Features: Moderately Intentional Puns; A Man In Black (Not); Because It's There; The Winchester Mystery House; Follow The Money; Spoiled Magician Shows; and Okay, Javert.
