Ancient Egypt's Lady of Turquoise: Hathor

Join Curtis Ryan Woodside as he journeys to Serabit el-Khadim, a nearly-abandoned area in the Sinai Peninsula which used to be a booming mining site for copper and turquoise. Curtis discusses the importance of these minerals for royalty and common people alike, and the connection to one of Egypt's most revered goddesses. As well, a special find leads the crew into an assessment of Proto-Sinaitic script: the origin of the Greco-Roman alphabet.
