I tried to find a good place to make the break, but if you think another is better, let me know. Thanks for checking!

As promised.

Section 62 is PL OK. Well done. Looking forward to listening to more of your recordings in this book.

Thanks,

Another interesting recording. Fascinating to hear about Rameses militaristic ambitions. To go out and brutally murder people who had never done Egypt any harm. And well read, as I have come to expect from you. Looking forward to hearing more of your recordings for this title. :)

This is PL OK.

Thanks,

If everything is all right here, I guess that´s it for this project. All the other sections have been assigned. Thanks so much, M and Lynnet, for your support!

Section 44 uploaded:

Time: 14:27

I think I now understand why these were among the last chapters for which anyone volunteered. This is serious "white man's burden" stuff. :roll:

Thank you.
Do you feel it needs a disclaimer in the summary (some listeners may find it offensive etc.)?

A reasonable question, but I don't think that's my call. I just read this stuff. :-)

Please let me know if I should fix anything.

Another enjoyable recording. There is one change needed and it should be PL OK.

17:24 should be "end of section 31" not "chapter 31"


Thanks,

M

Oh, that one's kind of hard to spot but you've caught that beautifully, thank you. :clap:

Here is the amended version alongside the freshly recorded section 51.

Section 31 (17:28)

Well, I found that chapter on the depressing side. Makes me glad I live where I live and that I didn't live back then. Too much disrespect for and debasement of women.

Anyway, another great recording and another PL OK.

Thanks,

M
