Most of the media attention in Egyptology goes to ancient tombs and mummies, but how did ordinary Egyptians live during ancient times? Were they capitalists? Did they really like beer? Egyptologist Meredith Brand talks about the everyday questions that drive her work, as well as how Egyptology is dealing with its colonial past, why aliens probably didn't build the pyramids, and that time she nearly got kicked out of the Acropolis.
