202. 520s BC part 2 Cambyses vs Egypt continued

Fan of History

A Mad King ... True or False?

Cambyses has some pretty bad historical credibility. He's been considered a mad king for millennia. We tell the great stories of his insane behavior in Egypt. Of course in Fan of History style we do a deep dive and have a lot of fun with it, including asking the question "how freaking old is Croesus now??"
