Episode description as stored
<p>The Victorians had a lot of twisted fascinations, but their fixation on Ancient Egypt might be the darkest of the lot.</p>
<p>From 'mummy unwrapping parties' (yes, really), to gothic stories of romances with mummified bodies and beetles that came to life.</p>
<p>Was this a desire to connect with the past? Something darker? Or maybe both.</p>
<p>Joining Anthony and Maddy today is historian and author <a href="https://www.drjaysullivan.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Dr Jay Sullivan</a>, to help us uncover the truth.</p>
<p>This episode was edited by Tim Arstall. Produced by Stuart Beckwith. The senior producer was Freddy Chick.</p>
