A casual conversation at a run club turned into an epic tale — writers Russell Cobb and Sarah Brandvold join Omar Mouallem to pull back the curtain on the story behind the story. Along the way, they unravel the fascinating history of the University of Alberta’s storied and often mythologized Ancient Egyptian resident — a mummified person known as “Horus.”
Read “The Secret Life of Horus” by Russell Cobb and Sarah Brandvold in the October issue of Edify magazine.
