Thanks for joining Behind Greatness. We recorded this chat “coincidentally” on the opening day of the Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM), October 16 2024. Salima graciously joined us from Cairo to have this conversation that day. Salima decided on Egyptology at age 8 and “hasn’t grown up since”. We learn about experimental archeology, puppy farms, slavery, cattle vs elephants and Egyptian cocktails. Salima brings us through her fascination with mummification, felines and their majesty, “chatting with the dead” and how death is viewed in the East. And more…

A fun, magical cat … uhm, we mean chat. Or do we? .
