Happy Thanksgiving, Mythfits! To celebrate the holiday and another mythology under our belt, Paul and Sarah, joined by show's Producer Jake Lloyd Bacon, record this episode live on youtube and take questions directly from you!
Test like an Egyptian
Thirty Episodes of Egyptian Fable and Mythology later, it's time for a pop quiz! How will Sarah's memory hold up? How will yours? Test your might!
Egyptian Apocalypse
Paul shares the results of his research concerning Egyptian Apocalypse Myths. Sarah is delighted to learn of a book of ridiculous spells preventing the victory of Apophis.
Teta the Magician
Paul tells Sarah about Teta the Magician, a conflict-free story in the time of Khufu. Well, conflict free if you're not a duck, a goose, or an ox.
The Ruse of Joppa
In the time of Thutmose III, General Djehuty faced off against the people of Joppa. It's said to be like the Egyptian version of The Trojan War, but Paul disagrees.
The Faux Prince
The fates of Labakan and Omar are decided by a king and a Faerie. Yes, an Egyptian faerie. Paul tells Sarah another tale collected by turn-of-the-century Scotsman Andrew Lang.
A Tale of Two Dramatic Brothers
Once upon a time, there were two brothers. Then a whole lot of nonsense happens. Paul tells Sarah the story of Bata and Anpu.
Ninth Dynasty Justice!
Paul labors through a difficult-to-decipher ninth dynasty tale of justice. Basically, if you annoy the judicial system long enough and endure beatings, justice will prevail!

Paul and Sarah are back together to talk about The Doomed Prince, cursed by the Hathors to be killed by a Crocodile, Dog or a snake. One of those.
