A conqueror, a god, or just a man lost in myth?Alexander the Great: the name conjures images of conquest, charisma, and an empire that stretched from Greece to India. But how much of what we “know” is actually true?In this episode of History Rage, host Paul Bavill is joined by Dr Stephen Harrison, lecturer in Ancient History at Swansea University and author of Alexander: The Lives and Legacies, to rage against the myths that have defined Alexander for over two thousand years.Stephen dismantles the biggest misconceptions about the Macedonian conqueror — from his supposed divine ambitions and romantic legends to the illusion that historians can truly know what drove him. Together, they explore how unreliable ancient sources, political storytelling, and centuries of retelling have turned Alexander into a mythic figure rather than a historical one.This isn't just another tale of military glory — it's a journey through evidence, propaganda, and how history becomes legend.

A conversation with American classicist, military historian, and conservative political commentator Victor Davis Hanson.We discuss:Why Epaminondas remains one of the most underrated commanders in Greek history, and how the loss of Plutarch's Life of Epaminondas has obscured his legacyThe pivotal liberation of Thebes in 378 BC: how a small band of conspirators overthrew the Spartan-backed oligarchy and sparked a democratic revolutionEpaminondas's strategic masterstroke at Leuctra — the deep oblique phalanx on the left — and how it shattered 200 years of Spartan military supremacyHow freeing the Messenian Helots and building Megalopolis, Mantinea, and Messene permanently encircled and emasculated Sparta as a great powerThe fatal miscalculation of 335 BC: why Thebes revolted against Alexander on the basis of a false rumor, and how every potential ally abandoned themThe recurring pattern of doomed civilizations — from Thebes to Carthage to Constantinople — that share delusions about allies, enemies, and their own declineWhat ancient history reveals about America's current strengths and vulnerabilities, from demographic pressures to the China threatSubscribe to the Cost of Glory newsletter for detailed maps, images, and analysis of this pivotal moment in ancient history: https://costofglory.substack.com/Get in touch at:Website: https://costofglory.comX: https://x.com/costofglory

Philosopher and writer Eamon Evans on humanity's relentless and impossible pursuit of happiness through materialism, social media and self help, and why the kindest and best people have been 'crushed by life' a couple of times.Eamon started to think more deeply about happiness and contentment in his 20s, after a bout of serious depression.He realised that trying to be happy all the time was paradoxically making him miserable, and says that's true for most of us in this modern world.Eamon began to trace the history of human's infatuation with being happy.What he found was that the story of humanity was tied up with other pursuits like survival, honour, virtue and discipline until very recently.Only in the 20th century did people start wanting to stop to smell the roses all the time, but Eamon says a permanent state of happiness impossible and emotionally counterproductive.In fact, our obsession with being happy is actually making us sad, and on top of that, it's making us sad about the fact that we're sad—a concept called 'meta-unhappiness'.Eamon acknowledges misery can sometimes be pathological, and it's important that lifesaving progress has been made on creating spaces here people can speak out and seek help.But in terms of daily, natural feelings of struggle, he says it's better to accept these as a normal part of human life, and look upon seasons of misery as miracles that build character, make us kinder, and more interesting.The Importance of Being Miserable is published by Simon and Schuster.This episode of Conversations was produced by Meggie Morris, Executive Producer was Nicola Harrison.It explores advertising, marketing, smart phones, addiction, dopamine, serotonin, Gen Z, glimmers of hope, gratitude, being grateful, how to be grateful, gratitude journal, Buddhism, enlightenment, Mad Men, advertising, capitalism, mental health, mental wellbeing, self help books, religion, industrial revolution, greed, property, wants versus needs.To binge even more great episodes of the Conversations podcast with Richard Fidler and Sarah Kanowski go the ABC listen app (Australia) or wherever you get your podcasts.

Jonathan Gray is an international explorer, researcher, and author known for investigating ancient civilizations, lost history, and suppressed archaeological evidence around the world. Gray's work focuses on global flood traditions, ancient texts, megalithic structures, and anomalous artifacts that challenge conventional timelines of human history. Through field exploration and comparative analysis of historical records, he argues that advanced civilizations existed in the distant past and that key evidence has been overlooked or ignored. His research invites a re-examination of humanity's origins and the cyclical nature of civilization.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-x-zone-radio-tv-show--1078348/support.Please note that all XZBN radio and/or television shows are Copyright © REL-MAR McConnell Meda Company, Niagara, Ontario, Canada – www.rel-mar.com.

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!

He was at various times in his life known as Gaius Octavius Thurinus; Gaius Julius Caesar; and Caesar Augustus. He called himself Princeps, the first man in Rome; the Roman Senate would eventually call him pater patriae, the father of his country. Heir to his great-uncle Julius Caesar, this 19 year old was dropped into the tumult of Roman political violence, and emerged from it the sole and undisputed victor after decades of civil war. He murdered hundreds, and then became the founder of a new Roman system that brought peace and prosperity to Rome's citizens and inhabitants. He was tyrannical and giving, cruel and clever, manipulative and noble. And he has claim to be one of the most successful politicians to ever lead a nation or a kingdom, who created a system which lasted for hundreds of years after his death.With me to discuss Caesar Augustus is Adrian Goldsworthy, author of Augustus: First Emperor of Rome, now being reissued in its second edition. The annoyingly prolific author of a shelf of books, both of ancient history and historical fiction, Adrian Goldsworthy has been described as the OG scholar of the Roman Army and the Mr Darcy of Ancient History. Since his next book comes out in May, this promises to be the first of at least two conversations with him in 2026–and this is his sixth appearance on the podcast.ChaptersIntroduction: Caesar Augustus (0:00)The Standard Received View: Syme's Roman Revolution (1:33)The Importance of Names: Octavian vs Caesar (13:27)Why Not Call Him Emperor?

Send us a textThe Anunnaki are often described as ancient gods, alien visitors, or something deliberately hidden from history. This episode cuts through the noise by tracing where the Anunnaki actually come from in ancient Mesopotamian texts and how those sources became so wildly reinterpreted. We dig into sky gods, descent from the heavens, symbolic imagery, and the translations that fueled the Ancient Astronaut theory. Along the way, we examine why so many people distrust scholarly explanations and what happens when access to ancient knowledge is limited. The deeper you go, the harder it becomes to decide what the Anunnaki were meant to be.Watch the video version: https://youtube.com/live/KPRInumb6sIDon't forget, you can watch us live on Tuesday nights at 8PM CST - U.S. on YouTube and Facebook!

Cal and Liam are back with one of the final episodes of Justice League Unlimited that ironically calls back to the distant past and involves the future for Green Lantern and Hawkgirl/Shayera with a review of the season three episode "Ancient History." The hosts discuss the complicated comic origin stories of Hawkman and Hawkgirl and how this story plays into it with the inclusion of the DCAU's own confusing Hawkman origins. Additionally, the Good Brothers speculate on Geoff Johns' credit for teleplay and a story that gets mixed reviews from our hosts. The hosts also talk about the visual integration of the ancient Egypt locale, Shadow Thief's powers and borderline perverted sounding voice and music that calls back to some of Hollywood's most epic soundtracks for movies that took place in a similar period of time and place. All of this plus a sneak peek at next week's trip around the multiverse for a new review and more await you on this week's all new DCAU Review!Please Consider Supporting the Podcast:Become a monthly or one time supporter of the pod at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://⁠⁠⁠⁠buymeacoffee.com/DCAUReview⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Subscribe to the pod on⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Spotify or ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Apple⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Podcasts⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠and please consider leaving us a 5-star review⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Subscribe to our new YouTube Channel ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Support the pod by picking up some merch at our shop ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://dcaureview.myspreadshop.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow us: Twitter/X ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@DCAUReview⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Instagram ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@DCAUReview⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Final Scores:Plot: Cal: 4/10 – Liam: 6/10Visuals/Animation: Cal: 8/10 – Liam: 10/10Music: Cal: 9/10 – Liam: 10/10Voice Acting: Cal: 10/10 – Liam: 10/10Bonus Point: NoneFinal Tally: Cal: 31/40 – Liam: 36/40**Top Pick

Fluent Fiction - Hindi: When Ancient Secrets and Modern Minds Converge Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/hi/episode/2026-01-12-23-34-01-hi Story Transcript:Hi: नालंदा के प्राचीन पुस्तकालय का मौसम सर्द था।En: The weather in the ancient library of Nalanda was cold.Hi: चारों ओर प्राचीन पांडुलिपियों की महक और इतिहास की साक्षीदीवारें अनोखे अनुभव का आभास कराती थीं।En: The smell of ancient manuscripts and the history-endowed walls around gave a unique experience.Hi: एक सर्द दोपहर, अनाया अपने रोज़मर्रा के काम में डूबी हुई थी।En: On one chilly afternoon, Anaya was immersed in her daily work.Hi: अनाया एक इतिहासकार थी, जिसकी जिंदगी का एकमात्र मकसद प्राचीन ग्रंथों को सुरक्षित रखना था।En: Anaya, a historian, had one sole purpose in life: to preserve ancient texts.Hi: परंतु उसके मन में एक डर भी था - क्या उसकी मेहनत का कोई खास असर होगा?En: However, she had a fear in her mind - would her hard work have any significant impact?Hi: अनाया के साथ ही, कुछ दूरी पर रोहन, एक युवा पुरातत्व प्रोफेसर, तकनीक की मदद से प्राचीन ज्ञान को आधुनिक रूप देने के प्रयास में था।En: Alongside her, at some distance, was Rohan, a young archaeology professor, who was trying to give ancient knowledge a modern form with the help of technology.Hi: रोहन की नजरों में ऐसा कुछ था, जो अनाया को आकर्षित करता था।En: There was something in Rohan's eyes that attracted Anaya.Hi: वे दोनों कुछ समय से एक दूसरे को जानते थे।En: They had known each other for some time.Hi: रोहन की जिज्ञासा हमेशा अनाया को प्रेरित करती थी।En: Rohan's curiosity always inspired Anaya.Hi: यह मकर संक्रांति की पूर्व संध्या थी।En: It was the eve of Makar Sankranti.Hi: अनाया ने रोहन से कहा, "मुझे एक विशेष पांडुलिपि चाहिए।En: Anaya said to Rohan, "I need a special manuscript.Hi: यह इतिहास की समयरेखा को बदल सकती है।En: It can change the timeline of history."Hi: " रोहन ने निश्चितता से कहा, "तुम उस पर विश्वास करो, सूरज की पहली किरण के समान विचार स्पष्ट हो जाएंगे।En: Rohan confidently said, "Believe in it, the thoughts will become clear like the first ray of the sun."Hi: " परंतु चुनौती यह थी कि पुस्तकालय जल्द ही छुट्टियों के लिए बंद होने वाला था।En: However, the challenge was that the library was soon going to close for the holidays.Hi: सर्वरचोट सीनियर विद्वान जैसे थे जो आधुनिक तकनीक को देखने के लिए तैयार नहीं थे।En: The senior scholars were like Sarvarchot, who were not ready to witness modern technology.Hi: अनाया को चिंता थी कि वो मना कर देंगे।En: Anaya was worried that they might refuse.Hi: पर रोहन की बातों में कुछ विश्वास था, जो अनाया को हिम्मत देता था।En: But there was something in Rohan's words that gave Anaya courage.Hi: उसने साहस जुटाया और रोहन से कहा, "चलो, आधुनिक स्कैनर का प्रयोग करें।En: She gathered her bravery and said to Rohan, "Let's use the modern scanner."Hi: "रोहन ने उत्साहपूर्वक अपनी मशीन चलाई।En: Rohan enthusiastically started his machine.Hi: घड़ी की सुईयां बीते वक्त को चुपचाप उद्घोषित कर रही थीं।En: The clock's hands were silently announcing the passage of time.Hi: अनाया की धड़कनें बढ़ रही थीं।En: Anaya's heartbeat increased.Hi: अचानक रोहन ने तेज आवाज में कहा, "यहां है!En: Suddenly, Rohan shouted, "Here it is!"Hi: " बहुप्रतीक्षित रहस्योद्घाटन हो चुका था।En: The long-awaited revelation had occurred.Hi: पांडुलिपि एक छुपे हिस्से से बाहर आ गई थी।En: The manuscript emerged from a hidden section.Hi: पुस्तकालय के बंद होने में चंद मिनट ही रह गए थे, लेकिन उन्होंने समय रहते इसे खोज लिया था।En: There were only a few minutes left before the library was going to close, but they found it in time.Hi: मकर संक्रांति के उत्सव पर, उन्होंने अपनी खोज को सीनियर विद्वानों के सामने प्रस्तुत किया।En: On the festival of Makar Sankranti, they presented their discovery to the senior scholars.Hi: अनाया और रोहन का सहयोग और कड़ी मेहनत रंग लाई थी।En: The collaboration and hard work of Anaya and Rohan had paid off.Hi: वे दोनों जब मंच से उतरे, उनके चेहरे पर संतोष की मुस्कान थी।En: As they stepped down from the stage, there was a content smile on their faces.Hi: अनाया ने महसूस किया कि आधुनिक तकनीक के साथ मिलकर काम करना कितना लाभदायक हो सकता है।En: Anaya realized how beneficial it could be to work with modern technology.Hi: उस दिन नालंदा की प्राचीन दीवारों के बीच, इतिहास और वर्तमान के संगम ने एक नई कहानी लिख दी थी।En: That day, amidst the ancient walls of Nalanda, the convergence of history and the present wrote a new story.Hi: अनाया के मन का डर खत्म हो गया था, और उसने समझ लिया था कि सहयोग से ही इतिहास को सही दिशा मिल सकती है।En: The fear in Anaya's mind was gone, and she understood that only through collaboration history could be steered in the right direction.Hi: कमरे में तालियों की गूंज ने एक नई शुरुआत का संकेत दिया।En: The echo of applause in the room signaled a new beginning.

In this podcast, Alice interviews Dr Erika Weiberg, Assistant Professor of Classical Studies and Theater Studies at Duke University. Erika has recently published a book called Demanding Witness: Women and the Trauma of Homecoming in Greek Tragedy, which investigates how the trauma of female characters is represented and received in four ancient Greek tragedies about war's aftermath. To quote Erika's own summary of the book: ‘it argues that tragic representations of female noncombatants' trauma after war expose the ripple effects of violence that wars create, even for individuals and communities distant from the fighting. Yet female characters' trauma is also difficult to recognize and address because doing so challenges social hierarchies and ingrained power structures. As a result, these characters' testimonies bring about a conflict of witnessing for other characters and the audience.' Erika's research into the structural and chronic violence done to women who have survived war through the marginalisation of their wartime experiences – and into the efforts some of them go to, to bear witness and have others also witness their trauma – offers important insight into habits of visualising war and their intersection with wider social structures and hierarchies. The podcast starts with a discussion of the 'trauma hero narrative', which tends to focus attention on men's (and especially soldiers') wartime experiences and their post-conflict journeys. As Erika argues, it is not simply the case that women's experiences of wartime trauma are given less visibility and narrative attention than men's, but also that women's suffering in Greek tragedy is often staged to expose male concerns – male agency, male inner conflict, male suffering, even. For this reason, we often see women in Greek tragedy having to go to some lengths to 'demand witness' to their own experiences. As well as demanding witness to war's most obvious kinds of impacts, the women we encounter in Greek tragedy also experience more 'ambiguous' kinds of trauma, as Erika explains. We discuss 'chronic trauma', which does not centre around or get resolved by singular events; 'insidious trauma', i.e. the gradual accumulation of trauma that can be exacerbated through power imbalances and marginalisation; and the ripple effects of 'perpetrator trauma' which can flow as a moral injury to those associated with the original perpetrator. Erika also discusses moments in Greek tragedy where we see women losing control of the trauma narratives that are told about them and 'the trauma survivor's mental and emotional estrangement from their own story.'Erika reflects on the role that Greek tragedy can play in sharpening our awareness not only of the different kinds of traumas that women can experience in and through war but also of our habits of picturing and narrating it. And she also discusses the role that modern trauma theory can play in helping us read ancient Greek tragedies in new ways.We hope you find the episide interesting.

Jing exclaimed excitedly, pointing at the map.Zh: 明华凑过来，仔细地看着地图。En: Minghua leaned in, studying the map closely.Zh: “这看起来像是通往某个隐蔽区域的路线。”他说，但眉头微皱，明显不放心。En: "This looks like a route to some hidden area," he said, but his brow furrowed, clearly uneasy.Zh: 丽芬凑近查看，小声说道：“这个地方，传言是一个秘密集会的场所。”En: Lifen leaned closer to look and whispered, "This place is rumored to be a secret meeting site."Zh: 尽管有些紧张，景感到这是一个追寻的机会。En: Despite some nervousness, Jing felt this was an opportunity to pursue.Zh: 然而，天坛是一个受保护的地点，他们的探索会面临阻碍。En: However, the Temple of Heaven is a protected site, and their exploration would face obstacles.Zh: 景心中犹豫不决，她想解开地图的秘密，但又不愿冒犯这个神圣的地方。En: Jing hesitated, wanting to unravel the map's secret but not desiring to offend this sacred place.Zh: 在一番讨论后，景决定继续前进。En: After some discussion, Jing decided to proceed.Zh: 她知道丽芬对这里的了解会帮助他们，而明华的谨慎能避免过于仓促的行动。En: She knew Lifen's understanding of the area would aid them, and Minghua's caution would prevent rash actions.Zh: 经过一番搜索，他们终于找到了地图上的一个入口。En: After a bit of searching, they finally found an entrance indicated on the map.Zh: 这是一扇隐藏在高墙后的门，似乎通往一个未知的地方。En: It was a door hidden behind a high wall, seemingly leading to an unknown place.Zh: 进入还是不进入？这是一个艰难的抉择。En: To enter or not? It was a tough choice.Zh: 尽管心中有怀疑，景还是决定进去。En: Despite doubts, Jing decided to go in.Zh: 但就在他们走过门口，进入那个小小的房间时，他们却发现，房间空无一物。En: But as they passed through the doorway into the small room, they found it empty.Zh: 只有墙角留下的一些灰尘和几片纸屑，暗示这里曾经有人活动过。En: Only some dust and scraps of paper left in the corner hinted that someone had once been here.Zh: 虽然未能找到期待的惊天发现，但景感到一丝慰藉。En: Although they hadn't found the earth-shattering discovery they hoped for, Jing felt a sense of solace.Zh: 这个地方仿佛在对时代的交汇微笑，提醒她，世代相连的纽带是多么重要。En: This place seemed to smile upon the convergence of eras, reminding her how important the bonds between generations are.Zh: “也许秘密不仅仅是物质上的发现。”景轻声说，透过窗户，看向远处的白雪。En: "Perhaps the secret is not just a material discovery," Jing said softly, looking out at the distant snow through the window.Zh: 他们离开天坛时，景心中明白，未来的探索不仅仅依赖于自己的梦想，还离不开与同伴的携手同行。En: As they left the Temple of Heaven, Jing understood that future explorations depend not only on her own dreams but also on working hand in hand with companions.Zh: 纵使物质上的古迹不再，她已在心中找到了比发现更多的东西——人与人之间的联结。En: Even if material relics are no more, she had found something greater in her heart—the connection between people.Zh: 景微微一笑，决定把这些领悟带到她的未来探寻中去。En: Jing smiled slightly, deciding to carry these insights into her future explorations.

When Lee Berger entered the field of palaeoanthropology there was a one in 10,000,000 chance he would discover anything 'worthwhile' digging around South Africa. But this real-life Indiana Jones kept bucking the odds.First, he found a pair of hominid teeth in southern Africa, and then after a fossil-hunting dry spell, his 9-year-old son Matthew found the jawbone of a completely new hominid species.A few years later came Lee's most extraordinary discovery yet: a nearly inaccessible cave filled with skeletons of another new hominid species, which seemed to be violating all the rules.The story of what happened in this cave revolutionises what we understand about the origins of our own human species.This episode of Conversations was produced by Meggie Morris, executive producer was Carmel Rooney.It explores human history, archaeology, Africa, caving, exploration, science, modern history, evolution, biology, bones, forensics, media, journalism, what to study, curious kids, curiosity, podcasts for kids, fascinating science, fascinating history, research, human mysteries, anthropology.To binge even more great episodes of the Conversations podcast with Richard Fidler and Sarah Kanowski go the ABC listen app (Australia) or wherever you get your podcasts.

Christmas is around the corner… and today we're diving into a question most people wouldn't dare ask out loud: Did Jesus really exist?In this explosive episode of Truth Be Told, Tony sits down with historian and author Dr. Richard Carrier — one of the world's leading experts on the origins of Christianity — to explore the evidence, the myths, and the centuries-old assumptions that shaped Western belief.From Paul's mysterious letters, to the surprising celestial worldview of the ancient world, to how Christianity may have evolved without a historical Jesus at all… nothing is off-limits.Dr. Carrier breaks down the scholarship, the controversies, the misconceptions, and what modern people should take away from the earliest Christian writings.We also dig into:✨ Why so many cultures invent gods✨ How ancient people imagined the “heavens”✨ Why Christianity today looks nothing like the teachings of Jesus✨ What evidence would convince him a historical Jesus existed✨ And how secular humanism reframes morality and meaningWhether you're a believer, a skeptic, or somewhere in between, this episode will challenge your assumptions and push you to rethink what you thought you knew about history, faith, and truth.

⁠⁠⁠Help keep our podcast going by contributing to our Patreon! For thousands of years, horses have been essential to human civilization from warfare to trade and empire-building. All over the world, people have captured horses, tamed horses, mythologized horses, and trained them to be ideal companions in the project of human advancement. How has the relationship between human and horse changed over time? When did people start treating their horses as individuals and companions, rather than just livestock?
