The Ozymandias Project podcast has a new name! We are now The Ozymandias Project: Ancient Office Hours!
New name, same mission. We decided to rename our podcast Ancient Office Hours to better convey the type of conversations we want to facilitate. While we have always had clear goals, it came to our attention that some confusion remained about the tone of our show. We hope our new title will further emphasize and clarify the easy-going nature of these ad hoc interviews. We hope to stimulate discussions about both academic and non-academic interests and provide new insights, ideas, and advice for anyone with an interest in ancient history & culture.
Keep an eye on our socials and this feed for more exciting updates on The Ozymandias Project LLC later this month!

Ancient Office Hours
Dr. Perrine Poiron, an Egyptologist/historian and former historical consultant on Assassin’s Creed Origins, joins Lexie to discuss why she chose to focus on the cat goddess Bastet, why we should learn more modern languages when studying antiquity, tips & tricks for archaeogaming with younger kids, her experience consulting on Assassin’s Creed Origins. So tuck in your togas and hop aboard Trireme Transit for this week’s exciting odyssey!
Note: At the time of this recording, Perrine was in the final stages of completing her doctorate. She has since successfully defended her dissertation. Brava Dr. Poiron!
