Crime and Punishment in Ancient...

Editors Charles River

In ancient Egypt, the underpinning concept in law, in theory, was that rich and poor citizens should be treated equally, but this was an aspiration that was rarely fulfilled in practice. At the same time, the types of treatment delivered to those deemed guilty could also be harsh - common punishments included confiscation of property, slavery, beatings, and mutilation. During both the Old Kingdom (c. 2700 BCE – 2200 BCE) and Middle Kingdom (c. 2030 BCE – 1650 BCE), crime was dealt with by local officials using their own private police forces. However, during the New Kingdom (c. 1539 BCE – 1075 BCE) a centralized police force emerged, consisting of Nubian tribesmen under an Egyptian supervisor, who were armed with staffs and used specially trained dogs.
In extreme cases, the death penalty was invoked, sometimes with the additional punishment of ensuring that the convicted were refused a burial or were buried but without full rituals. Based on the Egyptians’ religious beliefs, both situations resulted in the guilty being denied entry to the afterlife.
Perhaps not surprisingly, not all laws related directly to criminal activity. Civil disputes were common, and suits by a plaintiff against a defendant provide another major source about the Egyptian legal system, as do the copies of the many legal transactions and contracts that date from the 7th century BCE onwards when the popular form of the written language (Demotic) started to become more widely used. Indeed, it is often difficult to distinguish between civil and criminal cases in the available records. Following the introduction of writing, however, written deeds or contracts quickly replaced traditional oral agreements, and many of these extant documents reveal considerable detail about the laws of ancient Egypt.

Serenity in the Storm - Living...

Kayleigh McEnany

Kayleigh McEnany brings to life the key cultural and political issues of our time,  analyzing world events through the lens of faith and providing listeners with Serenity in the Storm. 
 
 
 
Our world, without question, is experiencing aberrational times. The life-altering realities of COVID-19 that I worked through as White House press secretary were just the start of it. What followed was a series of history-defining events. From the fall of Afghanistan to the nationwide crime wave, we've all endured painful images of death, destruction, and chaos. Meanwhile, radical teachings on gender and race have infiltrated our nation's schools, poisoning the minds of our children—all at a time when our country feels more divided than ever before. Along with these twenty-first century realities can come a feeling of despair and discouragement. Indeed, I hear it all the time as I crisscross the country: Americans feel disheartened and seek hope. 
 
 
 
Taking a similar format to my New York Times bestselling book, For Such a Time as This, I analyze our domestic and international challenges through the lens of faith. Though we have lived through dark times, the storms we face have prompted many great leaders to rise to the moment and have left a yearning in the human heart for a Savior, Jesus Christ, who is walking alongside us every step of the way.

A Rare Recording of Harry Houdini

Harry Houdini

Hear an actual cylinder recording of Harry Houdini: "...Ladies and gentlemen. Introducing my original invention, the Water Torture Cell. Although there is nothing supernatural about it, I am willing to proffer the sum of $1,000.00 to anyone who can prove that it is possible to consume air inside of the Torture Cell when I'm locked up in it in the regulation manner after it has been filled with water. Should anything go wrong when I'm locked up, one of my assistants walks through the curtains, ready to rush in, demolishing the glass, allowing the water to flow out, in order to save my life. 
- I, Houdini, October 29, 1914, Flatbush, NY." 
 
Harry Houdini, born Erich Weisz; March 24, 1874 - October 31, 1926) was a Hungarian-birn American escape artist, magic man, and stunt performer, noted for his escape acts. His pseudonym is a reference to his spiritual master, French magician Robert-Houdin (1805–1871).
