A powerful High Priest of Amun, declining kingship, and an Egypt in Chaos. In this episode of the Mummy Movie Podcast, we examine the fascinating polish film, Pharaoh (1966).

By many, this is considered the most accurate film set in ancient Egypt ever made. But is this true? As well as reviewing the film, we shall assess its history to see if this accolade is deserved.
