1. Vault of the Heavens — College Students Enter the Pyramid of Unas and the Door Locks Behind Them

January 23, 2023 • 28 mins
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 solid. And the...

2. The Ennead — The Nine Gods of Egypt Are Watching and the Students Are Not Supposed to Be Here

January 30, 2023 • 28 mins
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 match what they are fi...

3. When It Is Dark, When It Is Dark — Something Is Moving in the Tunnels and the Lights Are Gone

February 6, 2023 • 24 mins
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 an abs...

4. An Imperishable Spirit — The Egyptian Underworld Is Real and One of Them May Not Come Back

February 13, 2023 • 28 mins
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 physical pyrami...

5. The Duat — They Have Crossed Into the Egyptian Underworld and the Rules Have Changed

February 20, 2023 • 26 mins
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, which is n...

6. In the Hall of Two Truths — Their Hearts Are Being Weighed Against the Feather of Ma'at

February 27, 2023 • 29 mins
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 of Ma'at, symbol o...

7. May Thy Face Look Backward — The Way Out Is Behind Them and Something Is Standing in Front of It

March 6, 2023 • 29 mins
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 upward. The ai...

8. The Book of Maps — Series Finale: The Ancient Text That Shows the Way Out of the Underworld

March 13, 2023 • 23 mins
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 can read th...
