It's Halloween and in History Hit, Dan is examining mummies: one of history's most fascinating and macabre topics - even the Victorians were obsessed with Egyptian mummification! Dan and Dr Campbell Price explore this obsession from 'unrolling parties' to those who consumed ground-up mummies as medicine. This episode looks at centuries of colonial obsession, superstition and misunderstanding that has shaped how we view ancient Egypt.
