MYSTICAL: The Book of Thoth

About this episode

For the ancient Egyptians, magic wasn't a mysterious force – it was part of everyday life. But some of the most powerful rituals and spells were said to be preserved in The Book of Thoth, written by the god of magic himself. According to legend, the book contained everything from how to speak with animals to how to come back from the dead. But its existence remains a mystery to this day.
