Episode notes

Timeline Tapes is the show that brings you iconic documentaries, in podcast form. The documentaries are made for TV so our host Nate Fisher will be filling in any blanks to make sure you don't miss a thing. In this two part episode we're bringing you the amazing true story of the cocaine mummies. It's a mystery that has baffled Egyptologists. The case calls into question whole areas of accepted scientific fact from botany, through chemistry to archaeology; as in 1992, routine tests on a mummy in a Munich museum revealed high body levels of cocaine and nicotine. The documentary Mystery of the Cocaine Mummies was licensed by DRG to Little Dot Studios.
