Step onto the banks of the Nile and into the heart of Ancient Egypt, where fashion was more than clothing — it was a language of status, spirituality, and survival. In this episode, we explore how linen became the fabric of eternity, how gold glittered as a symbol of divine power, and how garments revealed the balance between earthly life and the afterlife. From pharaohs and priests to everyday workers, discover how Egypt’s textiles and adornments shaped identity, faith, and legacy for thousands of years.
