202. 520s BC Cambyses vs Egypt part 2

A Mad King ... True or False?Cambyses has some pretty bad historical credibility. He's been considered a mad king for millennia. We tell the great stories of his insane behavior in Egypt. Of course in Fan of History style we do a deep dive and have a lot of fun with it, including asking the question "how freaking old is Croesus now??"Don't forget to email us your address to get some new Fan of History stickers!This is a podcast by Dan Hörning and Bernie Maopolski.If you like what we do you can support the Fan of History project on https://www.patreon.com/fanofhistoryContact information:E-mail: [email protected]://facebook.com/fanofhistoryhttps://twitter.com/danhorninghttps://www.instagram.com/dan_horning/Music: “Tudor Theme” by urmymuse.Used here under a commercial Creative Commons license.
