Rapist, Thief, Thug: The Notorious Paneb
In this episode of the podcast we'll take a look at the notorious Paneb. Accused of theft, assault and rape (to name a few charges), Paneb's story gives us a window into corruption and justice in ancient Egypt. We'll see how, through bribery and intimidation, Paneb was able to rise through the ranks and institute a brief reign of terror over the village of Deir el-Medina.
