Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
Early in this century, mummies dating back 2,000 years and appearing to have been Caucasian were found in Western China. Kojo speaks with Elizabeth Wayland Barber, one of the world’s leading scholars on ancient textiles, who describes the remarkably well preserved mummies and the exotic world to which they belonged.
