Historian Faisal Husain wrote the book "Rivers of the Sultan: The Tigris and Euphrates in the Ottoman Empire" and in this episode, helps us explore the history of the Tigris and Euphrates. He argued for the necessity of understanding human history within the context of geological time, discussing the rivers' origins roughly 20 million years ago, tracing their influence on civilization from the "agricultural revolution" (which some scholars argue was a mistake leading to health issues) to the rise of early urban centers like the Sumerian cities. The conversation highlights the difference between the gentle Euphrates, which attracted early settlements, and the fast and unpredictable Tigris. Shifting to the Ottoman era, Husain examines the environmental challenges of Ottoman Iraq, which was poor in essential resources like grain, metal, and wood suited for construction, and details the extraordinary story of the Euphrates river changing its course in the late 1600s due to a poorly dug irrigation canal. He emphasizes the cultural importance of the palm tree and the vital role of water buffaloes, which made life possible for a quarter of the Iraqi population in the wetlands, whose fate would have otherwise been migration to seek resources and refuge elsewhere. 0:00 Introduction1:47 When Did the Tigris and Euphrates Start?3:04 The Importance of Deep History5:49 Geological Origins: 20 Million Years Ago7:37 When the Rivers Began to Matter to Homo Sapiens10:40 The Rationale for Writing Deep History12:00 Starting Middle East History Before 6th Century Arabia14:45 The Difference Between the Twin Rivers17:05 Why Sumerian Civilization Clustered on the Euphrates20:36 Questioning the Agricultural Revolution23:16 How Agriculture Began: Trial and Error27:00 The Consequences of Taming Nature30:40 The Ottoman Conquest of Iraq32:20 Why Iraq Was Environmentally Poor for a Major Power36:06 Iraq's Default Status Under Iranian States38:25 Baghdad in the 16th Century42:25 The Euphrates Shifts Course (Late 1600s)47:09 Water Buffaloes: The Essential Technology of the Wetlands49:28 Ranking the Most Important Crops51:03 Evliya Çelebi: The Traveler54:49 Ottoman vs. European Traveler Perspectives58:35 The Book Cover: Baghdad on the Tigris Faisal Husain is an environmental historian of the Ottoman Empire, with a geographical focus on its eastern provinces in Anatolia and Iraq and a temporal focus on the early modern period. His first book "Rivers of the Sultan" examined the role of the Tigris and Euphrates in the establishment of Ottoman state institutions in the Ottoman eastern borderland between the sixteenth and eighteenth centuries. His second book project is an environmental history of Ottoman frontier expansion east of the Euphrates during the sixteenth century. He is co-editing a book on the global histories of animals (under contract with Oxford University Press) with Emily Wakild (Boise State University) and Nancy Jacobs (Brown University). In 2024-2025, he served as a senior lecturer at Boğaziçi University's Department of History in Istanbul through the Fulbright U.S. Scholar Program.

Pero su religión era superficial, y abandonó la fe.Después de la muerte de su primer marido, con quien se había casado a los trece años, se casó con su tío, con quien tuvo dos hijos. Nuevamente viuda, se casó con un rey de Anatolia para ocultar la relación incestuosa con su hermano. El casamiento se terminó pronto, y ella pasó a ser la amante del emperador romano Vespasiano y de su hijo Tito, el comandante de la invasión de Jerusalén, en el año 70 d. C. Murió en Roma, después de la invasión.Cuando Pablo, como prisionero, fue llamado a Cesarea por el procurador Festo para presentar su defensa ante el hermano de Berenice, Agripa II, ella tuvo la oportunidad de escucharlo hablar de Cristo, pero ignoró al apóstol.Según los historiadores, Drusila, la menor, era una bella mujer. Su hermano, Agripa II, la casó con un rey asirio. Con menos de un año de casada, abandonó a su marido para quedarse ilegalmente con Félix, el gobernador romano de Judea, con quien tuvo un hijo.Drusila estaba con su marido cuando Pablo habló de su fe al procurador Félix, pero rechazó el mensaje del apóstol. A los cuarenta años, junto con su hijo fueron enterrados por las lavas del Vesubio.Berenice y Drusila nacieron en cunas contaminadas por vicios, por la lucha por el poder y por la lujuria. Y, aunque conocieron el evangelio, lo rechazaron por causa de una vida pecaminosa, la cual deterioró su carácter y definió su ruina.No hay excusa para llevar toda una vida de pecados, aunque ese haya sido el modelo del ambiente familiar.En Cristo, podemos ser vencedores y cambiar nuestro destino. Nadie se perderá por no haber tenido la oportunidad de la salvación. Solo aquellos que rechazaron a Cristo no estarán en el cielo.¿Cómo está tu vida ante Dios? Por casualidad, ¿has rechazado la invitación divina a una vida elevada en su compañía? Quizá esta sea tu última invitación para estar junto a él. No esperes a mañana. 

In this episode, Alice interviews two academics who are part of the newly-founded Ancient Peace Studies Network: Professor John Hyland and Dr Rhyne King. John is a professor of ancient history at Christopher Newport University, specialising in the history of Achaemenid Persia and its relations with Classical Greece and ancient Anatolia, during the 6th-4th centuries BCE. He is the author of Persian Interventions: the Achaemenid Empire, Athens, and Sparta 450-386 BCE (Johns Hopkins UP, 2018) and co-editor of Brill's Companion to War in the Ancient Iranian Empires (Brill, 2024), and he has a new book just out called Persia's Greek Campaigns: Kingship, War, and Empire on the Achaemenid Frontier (Oxford, 2025).Rhyne is a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Toronto, who also researches the Achaemenid Persian Empire, drawing on Greek historiographical sources (Herodotus, Xenophon, etc.) and documentary evidence in Middle Eastern languages such as Akkadian, Elamite, and Aramaic.His first book, published with the University of California press in 2025, is called The House of the Satrap: The Making of the Ancient Persian Empire. This episode digs into different conceptualisations of peace and peacebuilding across the Achaemenid Persian Empire, exploring it both from a domestic viewpoint and in the light of interstate relations. We touch on sources such as the famous Cyrus Cylinder, and its ongoing resonance in Iranian identity-building and international politics today. And we explore the peace rhetoric of kings such as Darius I, as seen in e.g. the Bīsotūn monument. The conversation considers the relationship between peace and order, peace and the gods, and peace and 'paradise'; and we also discuss the insights which ancient Persian peace imaginaries might offer on modern concepts and practices.We hope you enjoy the episode!

In this new podcast episode, the first in our series on Peripheries, we discuss the place of Armenian architects in the towns and cities of eastern Anatolia in the late Ottoman empire. Our guest is Alyson Wharton-Durgaryan, Honorary Senior Fellow at the University of Lincoln, where she has taught for ten years in the School of Humanities and Heritage. In 2026, she'll take up a new two-year fellowship at the University of Oxford. Her research looks at the roles of Armenian architects hailing from the Ottoman Empire, who were key to formulating the image of the modern state in the 19th and early 20th centuries.Peripheries seeks to push our understanding of the cultural heritage of the Islamic world away from the traditional centres that we associate with it. With a fantastic range of guests we will examine places and topics often considered peripheral to the Islamic world and understand why they are in fact of central importance to the region's cultural heritage, from Armenia to England, from Ethiopia to West Africa.

Thanks to a chance meeting on a train James Mellaart stumbled across a treasure trove that challenged everything we knew about ancient Anatolia... only to be left holding the bag when it disappeared under mysterious circumstances.

On Patreon for patrons only for 1 year: It is the only large town that has ever been discovered from the Stone Age, making it one of the most important archaeological finds of all time and a critical prize in the heated debates that have divided the field of archaeology. Its striking artworks have fired the imagination, and its extensive ruins, copious burials, and rich grave goods have filled in massive gaps in the story of the origins of civilization, illustrating how the invention of agriculture and the “Neolithic Revolution” made cities and urban life possible. Yet it also remains a stubborn mystery: why are the houses all so identical? Why are there no public buildings or gathering places, or even streets? And why did the town spring up in the middle of a muddy and malarial plain?

Over the past decade, archaeogenetics has analyzed more than 15,000 ancient genomes spanning 45,000 years of western Eurasian prehistory, uncovering dozens of migrations that reshaped Europe. Johannes Krause, Max Planck Institute, traces the earliest, unsuccessful attempts of modern humans to settle Europe after leaving Africa around 50,000 years ago, when they also interbred with Neandertals. Krause examines two major genetic turnovers of the Neolithic: the spread of early farmers from Anatolia about 8,000 years ago, who brought agriculture and domesticated animals and later mixed with indigenous hunter-gatherers; and the arrival of mobile herders from the Pontic steppe around 5,000 years ago, who introduced pastoralism and possibly Indo-European languages. Finally, he considers migrations triggered by the collapse of the Roman Empire, showing how large-scale mobility created the multiple ancestral strands found in modern Europeans.

Dream Initiation with Sarah Janes Sarah Janes is a lifelong lucid dreamer and the author of Initiation into Dream Mysteries: Drinking from the Pool of Mnemosyne. She collaborates with researchers and institutions to explore Egyptology, dream incubation, and ancient healing traditions, and co-operates The Seventh Ray virtual reality mystery school. She also works with Rupert Sheldrake and the British Pilgrimage Trust on reviving dream incubation at sacred sites and is based in the United Kingdom. Sarah Janes discusses the ancient history and cultural significance of dreaming, lucid dreaming, and dream incubation as initiatory practices for insight, healing, and guidance. She explores how early civilizations, from Egypt to Anatolia and Greece, used dreams as portals to the sacred, sources of prophecy, and catalysts for transformation. She also describes her contemporary work helping people navigate the dream realm, drawing parallels with psychedelic integration, ancestral memory, and the living landscape. New Thinking Allowed host, Jeffrey Mishlove, PhD, is author of The Roots of Consciousness, Psi Development Systems, and The PK Man.

Send us a textSupposedly, about half of the world population speaks languages that all come from one root language: Proto-Indo-European. How do we know, and where did "PIE" come from? Ukraine, Anatolia, or somewhere else? Did the Indo-Europeans spread out in a massive, peaceful migration of farmers? Or as small bands of shepherds, stealing livestock and killing anyone standing in the way? How do we even know what a prehistoric language sounded like if we don't have any record of their language? In this episode, Colin Gorrie joins us to discuss the opening chapters of Laura Spinney's Proto: How One Ancient Language Went Global, a fascinating and enjoyable survey of the current state of research into Proto-Indo-European, and a useful introduction to the fields of historical linguistics, archaeology, and paleogenetics, and how they relate to the question of Indo-European origins.Laura Spinney's Proto: https://bookshop.org/a/25626/9781639732586Colin Gorrie's YouTube interview with Laura Spinney: https://youtu.be/_nVIV-qaHHYFustel de Coulanges's The Ancient City: https://bookshop.org/a/25626/9780648690542Erwin Rohde's Psyche: https://bookshop.org/a/25626/9780415225632New Humanists is brought to you by the Ancient Language Institute: https://ancientlanguage.com/Links may have referral codes, which earn us a commission at no additional cost to you.

In this episode, I'm joined again by Dr. Chrysovalantis Kyriacou where we discuss the ακριτικά τραγούδια i.e., the Acritic Songs! These are heroic ballads from the borderlands that emerged between the 9th and 11th centuries, highlighting semi- mythological figures like the legendary Digenis Akritas. Passed down through performances at festivals and weddings -- often created and performed by or for rural peasants -- these songs provide rare insight into the lives, struggles, and values of marginalized medieval communities. Their transmission reflects both elite and popular storytelling styles, often mixing Homeric, Christian, and local themes. In Cyprus, these songs were adapted into the local dialect. They also included unique Cypriot experiences, like in The Song of Antzoules, which reflects Cypriot responses to events in Anemourion in Anatolia and subsequent Frankish rule. In Cyprus, the legend of Digenis is imprinted on the land itself, from his handprint on the Pentadaktylos to the rocks of Petra tou Romiou, once believed to have been hurled at Saracen ships by Digenis himself! P.S. In this episode I learn that Vikings (VARANGIANS) may have been stationed in Cyprus!

In this detour episode we go way, way back.  Six thousand years ago, a language was forming that would spawn dozens of descendants, who came to occupy most of Europe and much of Anatolia, India and Iran. This ancient tongue is Proto-Indo-European. Join Bernie Maoplski of the Fan of History podcast and I, as we chase down the latest theories on the origins of this ancestral language. You can find Bernie's show at https://shows.acast.com/history.

The Failure of the Hittite Empire: Colleague Eric Cline examines the Hittites, classified as the major failures of the era, explaining that this superpower controlling Anatolia and rivaling Egypt collapsed due to a "perfect storm" of drought, plague, and poor leadership, with their capital Hattusa destroyed and abandoned; however, "Neo-Hittite" rump states in northern Syria such as Carchemish survived as trading hubs for centuries before eventually facing aggression from the rising Neo-Assyrian empire.

First up on the podcast: the mysterious fate of Europe's Neolithic farmers. They arrived from Anatolia around 5500 B.C.E. and began farming fertile land across Europe. Five hundred years later, their buildings, cemeteries, and pottery stopped showing up in the archaeological record, and mass graves with headless bodies started to appear across the continent. Contributing Correspondent Andrew Curry talks with host Sarah Crespi about what this strange transition might mean. Next on the show, Editor for Life Sciences Sacha Vignieri discusses recent dog research published in Science, including tracing the movement of dogs alongside ancient human populations, examining when dogs first diversified, and probing the relationship between modern dogs' breeds and their dispositions.

With the Romans now in Anatolia, Antiochus III has only got so long to go before a major showdown. He tries his best to avoid it- mainly by attempting to bribe Scipio Africanus- but in the end, we are setting up for a showdown near Magnesia-by-Sipylus.Sources for this episode:Bevan (1966), The House of Seleucus (Vol. II).

An ancient site older than history itself flips the script on everything we thought we knew about human origins, religion, and the unseen world. Brandon and Lindsy dig into the strange reality of massive stone structures that shouldn't exist in the so-called Stone Age—carvings that hint at Watchers, sacred rituals, and even a hidden language lost to time. From ancestor worship and moon-gods to the shocking possibility that humanity's first couple was deified in stone, this conversation uncovers connections that challenge archaeology, theology, and the very foundations of civilization.  Sure, this guest has been interviewed before—but never like this!Grab the book->https://amzn.to/4ngK1w6

En la tercera conferencia del ciclo “Una historia del dinero y la moneda en el mundo antiguo”, el catedrático de Historia Antigua, Adolfo Domínguez Monedero, trata los inicios de la aparición de la moneda, desde que surgió, en el último tercio del siglo VII a. C., en Lidia, región de la península de Anatolia cuyo emplazamiento era estratégico entre Asia occidental y el mundo griego del Mediterráneo oriental. Pese a su lento desarrollo, las ciudades griegas adoptaron la moneda como un instrumento que facilitaba la economía, evaluaba la riqueza y proyectaba la imagen del Estado emisor. Las monedas griegas destacan por la calidad artística de sus imágenes y permiten analizar las relaciones económicas de la civilización griega.Más información de este acto

“Wild rice camp started a long time ago. It actually started thousands of years ago, with our ancestors having a real-time lifeway.”We have a jam-packed show for you today featuring traditional foodways from the original inhabitants of this land, foods from lands far away–Anatolia and Mongolia, as well as right here in our own back yard. Wild rice harvested in a canoe, sumac by the side of the road, and for dessert? Pawpaw ice cream.

En la primera conferencia del ciclo “Una historia del dinero y la moneda en el mundo antiguo”, el catedrático de Historia Antigua, Adolfo Domínguez Monedero, aborda los distintos elementos de valor y las formas de intercambio en las sociedades antiguas, hasta el surgimiento del primer sistema de dinero en Mesopotamia. Antiguamente, los cereales, el cobre, el estaño, la plata y el oro fueron utilizados con la función del dinero por este sistema, hasta que, con el paso del tiempo, la plata se convirtió en el principal elemento de valor en circulación en toda Asia occidental, dando lugar a la aparición de la moneda en la península de Anatolia.Más información de este acto

La civilización etrusca prosperó en el centro de la península itálica desde la Edad del Hierro hasta aproximadamente el siglo IV a.C. Los antiguos griegos los conocían como “Tyrrhenoi” y los romanos como “Etrusci”, fue de estos últimos de quienes hemos tomado el nombre. Los etruscos poseían una cultura muy sofisticada en distintos campos, desde el arte hasta el urbanismo pasando por la tecnología y la ingeniería. Influyeron de forma decisiva en el ascenso de Roma, pero tanto su historia como su lengua y sus orígenes siguen siendo un misterio. El origen de los etruscos ha sido objeto de un intenso debate durante más de dos mil años. Heródoto, en el siglo V a.C., dijo que eran emigrantes que habían llegado desde la lejana región de Lidia, en Asia Menor, capitaneados por un personaje mítico, el príncipe Tirreno. Para alguien como Heródoto el refinamiento etrusco solo podía provenir del civilizado oriente mediterráneo. Siglos más tarde Dionisio de Halicarnaso habló de ellos cuando ya habían desaparecido asegurando que eran un pueblo autóctono de Italia, una teoría apoyada por los estudios genéticos recientes. Los análisis de ADN antiguo de doce yacimientos arqueológicos demuestran que compartían perfil genético con las poblaciones itálicas vecinas. Eso descarta de plano una migración desde Anatolia. Su contacto con griegos y fenicios a través del comercio marítimo explica las influencias orientales en su cultura y que llegasen a estar tan avanzados. La lengua etrusca no era de origen indoeuropeo y constituye otro misterio. Aunque usaban un alfabeto derivado del griego, su vocabulario y gramática permanecen en gran parte sin descifrar. Hay unas 13.000 inscripciones conocidas, pero son fundamentalmente epitafios. Los lingüistas han descubierto que se trataba de una lengua aglutinante, pero la falta de textos más extensos limita mucho que se pueda avanzar en este ámbito. Se organizaban en una suerte de confederación de ciudades-estado gobernadas cada una de ellas por las aristocracias locales. Esta descentralización provocó continuas rivalidades que debilitaron su defensa frente a otras potencias. Su sociedad, fuertemente jerarquizada, otorgaba un estatus anormalmente elevado a las mujeres. Las etruscas, a diferencia de las griegas, participaban habitualmente en banquetes y en ceremonias religiosas, un rasgo que influyó posteriormente en la sociedad romana. Su economía se basaba en la agricultura, la metalurgia y el comercio marítimo. Controlaban las principales rutas del mar Tirreno, pero su comercio iba mucho más allá porque sus productos eran muy demandados en lugares como Grecia o Chipre. La religión etrusca era politeísta y fatalista. Estaba muy influenciada por la mitología griega. La trilogía de Tinia, Uni y Menerva, equivalentes a Júpiter, Juno y Minerva, condensaba las tres deidades principales, pero había muchas más. En lo que brillaron con luz propia fue en la adivinación. Los arúspices y augures etruscos gozaban de gran prestigio, tanto que los romanos los siguieron utilizando durante siglos. Necrópolis como la de Banditaccia, en Cerveteri, nos hablan su obsesión por el más allá. Levantaban extensas ciudades para los muertos en las que recreaban viviendas y rituales festivos que para muchos especialistas son el origen de los combates de gladiadores. Pero donde realmente destacaron fue en las expresiones artísticas que son bien conocidas por todos los aficionados. Destacan sus esculturas de gran realismo como el Sarcófago de los Esposos o la Quimera de Arezzo. También fueron ingenieros muy capaces. La famosa Cloaca Máxima de Roma, por ejemplo, la hicieron ingenieros etruscos. Su declive comenzó en el siglo V a.C. cuando primero los griegos y luego los romanos fueron dejándoles sin espacio. Un siglo más tarde las ciudades etruscas fueron absorbidas por Roma. Su lengua desapareció para siempre, pero el legado cultural etrusco se mantuvo durante mucho más tiempo. Sin ellos Roma nunca hubiese llegado a ser lo que fue.

Details of how Ataturk foiled the imperialists' final plans to partition Anatolia. Once he secured Turkey, he modernized it and it became a model that other Central Asian countries tried to emulate (with varying degrees of success). Here's why this secular leader is still revered in Turkey a century later.

Dorotheos and Eusebia, a devout, aging Christian couple who lived in Anatolia, had no children. After many years, their fervent prayers for a child were answered, and they were blessed with a daughter, whom they named Kyriake ('Sunday' in Greek) because she was born on the Lord's day. The child grew up beautiful in body and soul and, though she had many suitors, chose to consecrate herself entirely to God and remain single. One of her suitors, angered at her refusal, denounced her and her parents to the Emperor Diocletian. Dorotheos and Eusebia were subjected to cruel tortures, then sent into exile, where they died under further torture. Kyriake was sent to Maximian, Diocletian's son-in-law, for trial. By his orders, she was subjected to a horrifying series of torments; but Christ Himself appeared to her in prison, healing and comforting her. Many pagans came to believe in Christ when they saw her miraculously saved from death by fire or from wild beasts; all of these were beheaded. Kyriake told Apollonius, the general who supervised her tortures: 'There is no way that you can turn me from my faith. Throw me into the fire — I have the example of the Three Children. Throw me to the wild beasts — I have the example of Daniel. Throw me into the sea — I have the example of Jonah the Prophet. Put me to the sword — I will remember the honored Forerunner. For me, to die is life in Christ.' Apollonius then ordered that she be beheaded. At the place of execution, she raised her hands in prayer and gave up her soul to God before the executioner could take her life.   Note: St Kyriake is also known as Dominica or Nedelja, Latin and Slavonic words for 'Sunday'.

First up on the podcast, Contributing Correspondent Andrew Curry joins host Sarah Crespi to discuss a pair of Science papers on kinship and culture in Neolithic Anatolia. The researchers used ancient DNA and isotopes from 8000 to 9000 years ago to show how maternal lines were important in Çatalhöyük culture.   ●     E. Yüncü et al., Female lineages and changing kinship patterns in Neolithic Çatalhöyük, 2025 ●     D. Koptekin et al., Out-of-Anatolia: Cultural and genetic interactions during the Neolithic expansion in the Aegean, 2025   Next on the show, researchers were able to make a synthetic material that changes color in the same way squids do. Georgii Bogdanov, a postdoctoral researcher in the Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering at the University of California, Irvine, talks about how his lab was able to discover the subcellular arrangement of proteins in the squid cells and mimic this structure synthetically using titanium dioxide deposition.   Finally, the latest book in our series on science and death. Books host Angela Saini talks with Tamara Kneese about her book Death Glitch: How Techno-Solutionism Fails Us in This Life and Beyond and whether our families can turn us into chatbots after we die.   This week's episode was produced with help from Podigy.  About the Science Podcast   Authors: Sarah Crespi; Andrew Curry; Angela Saini Learn more about your ad choices.
