with Dr. Leslie Anne Warden.

Beer, Bread and Pharaoh’s Power. My guest today is Dr. Leslie Anne Warden, associate professor of art history and archaeology at Roanoke College in Virginia, USA. An insightful scholar, Dr. Warden is here to share her investigations into the world of ancient economics, particularly how beer and bread can reveal the inner-workings of Egyptian society. From ceramics to experiments in brewing, Dr. Warden provides a detailed and thoughtful view on the world of the Nile Valley.
