Okay, and we're going to do a whole episode on Tutankhamun and get into that mystery of, okay, if he still was so loyal to his dad, why did he change his name?

And then go back to the Amun bit rather than his dad's sun god bit.

But we'll save that for another episode.

What actually happens to Amarna after the death of Akhenaten?

Because what?

They don't enter the underworld then?

Goodness me, you know more about this than anybody.

If you do want more mummy moving chat, we've got a bonus episode about the curse of Tutankhamun just for our members.

So do sign up for our brilliant club and you'll get that extra.

So it's a rip-roaring story.

But just getting back to the people of Amarna, so after the death of Akhenaten, what happens to them?

Do we know if they thrive after he's gone or do they continue a downward spiral?

Some killed, some exiled, some sent to the Egyptian equivalent of the Gulag.

Yeah.

When did they rise up?

Come on then.

Delete, delete, delete, delete is what it is.

And to sum up that kind of decrepitude of a once great civilisation, I hand over...

to William Dalrymple, who is going to read from the Restoration Stella of Tutankhamun.
