Betwixt The Sheets: The History of Sex, Scandal & Society

Shownotes Transcript

Cleopatra. One of the most famous people from history, and remembered for her beauty, power and scandalous love affairs. But how accurate is her legacy?

Did you know she married not one, but two of her brothers? Or that she could speak eight languages? Or that she lived closer to the invention of the iPhone, than the construction of the pyramids (what?!).

Egyptologist Sarah Parcak joins Kate to get to the bottom of who the REAL Cleopatra was.

Mixer: Tomos Delargy. Producer: Stuart Beckwith. Senior Producer: Charlotte Long
