Episode 91: Egyptian Tattoo History!

 

We’re back again with a history, BFF favorite! I've been wanting to talk about Egyptian tattoos for so long and we finally got the chance to do it. In this episode, we explore the fascinating new findings that have been coming out of the world of Egyptian tattoo history. Thanks to new technology and new researchers in the field of archaeology, the remains of some of the oldest Egyptian mummies in history are finally being analyzed, and their tattoos are being uncovered.

Join me in this episode, as we uncover the sexism and biased ideas that shaped so much of early Egyptian tattoo history. You might be surprised that Ötzithe Iceman may not hold the title of oldest tattoo.
