S02E05: The Middle Kingdom - a podcast by Brady J. Crytzer

After years of growth, the Old Kingdom of the Egyptian world
crumbled into the hands of a few elite families scattered across the Sahara
desert. Although financially prosperous, these dark ages drove the land of
Egypt into disarray and allowed for a new leader to reunify the kingdom. Known
as an age of great cultural, militaristic, and societal achievement, the Middle
Kingdom is considered a golden age of Egyptian history. But was this new system
sustainable? And what forces brought it crashing down. On this episode we
discuss the Middle Kingdom.
