Egyptian mythology horror podcast Long Night in Egypt begins here — with the night a group of college students enters the Pyramid of Unas and cannot get back out. They found the access point three weeks ago — an unmapped entrance on the pyramid's northern face that does not appear in any of the official archaeological records. Tonight they are going in. Their equipment is good. Their maps are thorough. Their plan is so...

Egyptian mythology horror podcast Long Night in Egypt deepens its supernatural world — the nine gods of ancient Egypt make their presence known. The Ennead — Atum, Shu, Tefnut, Geb, Nut, Osiris, Isis, Set, and Nephthys — the nine deities of the Heliopolis creation myth, the divine council that governs the Egyptian underworld. The students have been moving through the tunnels for hours now. The maps no longer matc...

Egyptian mythology horror podcast Long Night in Egypt plunges into total darkness — and the thing in the tunnels moves closer. The battery packs failed without warning. They are forty minutes into a tunnel system they have not fully mapped, in total darkness, with no way to tell which direction leads back to the entrance and which leads deeper. In ancient Egyptian funerary texts, the darkness of the Duat is described not as ...

Egyptian mythology horror podcast Long Night in Egypt reaches its first breaking point — the Egyptian underworld is not a metaphor, and not everyone survives the Duat. In ancient Egyptian belief, the soul is composed of multiple parts — the Ba, the Ka, the Ren, the Sheut, and the Akh, the imperishable spirit that survives death if the soul passes judgment. The students are no longer entirely certain they are in the phy...

Egyptian mythology horror podcast Long Night in Egypt crosses the threshold — the students are no longer in the physical world. The Duat in ancient Egyptian belief is not a place the living can visit. It is the realm through which the dead travel on their way to judgment — a landscape of rivers, gates, and monsters, governed by Osiris and patrolled by Anubis. The students have found themselves inside it. They are alive...

Egyptian mythology horror podcast Long Night in Egypt arrives at the Hall of Two Truths — the judgment chamber of Osiris, where every soul must face the weighing of the heart. In the Duat, after death, every soul is brought before Osiris and the forty-two judges of Ma'at. The heart — seat of the soul, repository of every action and every sin — is placed on one side of the scales. On the other side is the feather ...

Egyptian mythology horror podcast Long Night in Egypt reaches its penultimate episode — the way out exists, but it is not unguarded. In the Pyramid Texts, the phrase "may thy face look backward" is a protective spell — a command to look back toward the living world rather than forward into the dark of the Duat. The students have found what they believe is the path back to the physical pyramid. The tunnel ahead leads up...

The series finale of Egyptian mythology horror podcast Long Night in Egypt — the ancient text that has surrounded them since the beginning is finally readable, and it is the only thing that can lead them out. The walls of the Pyramid of Unas are covered in text — the Pyramid Texts, the oldest religious writings in the world, carved into the stone around 2350 BCE. The students could not read them when they entered. They...

    DISGRACELAND

    DISGRACELAND is an award-winning music and true crime podcast about musicians getting away with murder and behaving very badly. Jerry Lee Lewis's 5th wife? Dead. Sid and Nancy? Both dead. Why? Because musicians are insane, and insane things happen to them. Why did we lose Amy Winehouse at 27? Was Debbie Harry really abducted by Ted Bundy as she claims? Is Patti Smith not just the "Godmother of Punk", but also the "Original True Crime Girl"? What really happened the night of the Jay Z nightclub stabbing? What do the Diddy indictments truly reveal? All these stories and more, on artists from every genre and their true crimes, in our massive 260-plus story archive. The Dead, the Stones, Johnny, Willie, Frank, Kurt, Courtney, Gaga, Lana, Taylor, and too many to name. DISGRACELAND is music history come to life through audio storytelling as you've never heard it before, with revealing facts: yes, assassins are the real reason the Beatles quit touring—reclaimed myths: no, Mama Cass didn't die from choking on a ham sandwich––and constant reckoning between art and artist––all told through the lens of true crime. This is the podcast for the self-proclaimed "Disgos", the musically obsessed and the true crime heads; the outsiders, the independent thinkers who know that the best history is the history that gets buried. DISGRACELAND is where host Jake Brennan tells the stories they didn't want told. The kind you'll end up telling someone else. Get ready to uncover hidden truths and buckle up for truly edge-of-your-seat storytelling. New, fully scripted, sound-designed episodes are released every Tuesday. Bonus chat-style episodes where Jake responds to voicemails, texts, and emails from Disgos hit on Thursdays, and "Rewind" episodes from our archive drop on Sundays. DISGRACELAND is not a journalistic podcast. It's an entertainment podcast inspired by true events. Certain dialogue and scenes are dramatized, as is common in scripted entertainment based on real stories. Sources and credits for each episode are available at www.disgracelandpod.com.
