Learn how to read Ancient Egyptian Hieroglyphs with Ilona Regulski | Curator's Corner S7 E10

You asked for more Ilona. You asked for more ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs. And you technically asked for as many tangents relating to ancient Egyptian life as possible (see our community post if you don't believe us).

Also, Nick is there.
