We've got Professor Joseph Manning of Yale University back in the tent today to answer all the Ancient Egypt questions you've always wanted to ask. What did the Egyptians know about Atlantis and how did they build the famed pyramids after all? Were King Tut and Cleopatra overrated? And is the Alexandria Library fire a myth? Professor Manning is back to explain it all.
