Join historian David Miano in Aswan as he investigates two remarkable archaeological sites at Egypt’s ancient southern border. On Elephantine Island, discover temples to gods who guarded the Nile and a frontier town lost to time. Across the river, explore cliffside tombs where governors carved their stories into the stone. This is the story of how power was negotiated, recorded, and remembered—on Egypt’s edge.
