In the first episode, Kara is going to paint a picture of King Tutankhamen. This guy was named Pharaoh when he was only 12 years old and was immediately charged with the responsibility of fixing his entire country's religious SNAFU's left over from his dad. He also had to rebuild economies, temples, boats, and the military... A pretty tall order to ask any pre-teen.
What's worse, he had to do all of that while his inbred genetic make up made him susceptible to every kind of malady, syndrome, and dysfunction known to man. Literally his family tree looked like the Olympic five hoop logo...
So join Kara and Ed as they dive into the kiddy pool sized genetic wreck that was King Tutankhamen and see just why this guy is so famous.
In the second episode, Kara and Ed are back and they are trying a slightly different format... they both will have a segment instead of one person hogging the entire episode. In this episode Kara dives into the craziness of the expedition to find King Tutt's tomb in the 1920s and 1930. The moral of the story: DON'T SHAVE YOUR FACE AFTER IT HAS BEEN BITTEN BY A MOSQUITO! Meanwhile Ed will look at a city whose sole purpose was to protect the Valley of the Kings from tomb robbers and house craftsmen to construct tombs for future pharaohs. However, five minutes after the city got to work, the people protecting and and constructing these elaborate tombs started to rob the crap out of them.
Lastly you'll get a glimpse at Kara and Ed's elaborate topic choosing protocols that they use to figure out what episode you're going to hear next.
