https://www.facebook.com/dan.armstrong.7359 - Dan ArmstrongDan Armstrong returns to the Typical Skeptic Podcast for a fascinating examination of the symbolism and etymology of ufology, ancient history, hidden language, and the deeper meanings embedded within religious and mythological traditions.Dan is a highly intellectual independent researcher, former teacher in Asia, and longtime friend of the show. His research covers ufology, black operations, conspiracy, ancient civilizations, comparative symbolism, and the origins and transformations of words associated with unusual aerial phenomena.Dan has studied the work of Pierre Sabak extensively, including Sabak's concept of “New Ufology”—an approach that uses ancient language, occult symbolism, and etymology to investigate possible connections between UFOs, celestial vessels, angels, gods, serpents, dragons, and other beings described throughout history.Could ancient accounts of gods traveling through the heavens represent early interpretations of advanced craft or nonhuman intelligence? Do chariots, winged beings, divine messengers, and celestial vehicles preserve different cultural descriptions of the same underlying phenomenon? Has important knowledge been hidden within words and symbols that modern readers no longer understand?Dan has appeared numerous times on the Typical Skeptic Podcast's former channel and has also been featured on James Bartley's Cosmic Switchboard.Topics include:Symbolism and etymology within ufologyPierre Sabak and New UfologyAncient celestial vehicles and divine chariotsWinged beings, angels, gods, and messengersSerpent and dragon symbolismHidden meanings embedded within languageReligious and mythological UFO connectionsAncient civilizations and forgotten historyBlack operations and conspiracy researchThe evolution and manipulation of wordsModern UFO encounters compared with ancient accountsThis conversation explores speculative and alternative interpretations of language, mythology, history, and the UFO phenomenon.

Dr Emma Southon is no stranger to this show, but just in case you have somehow missed her many previous appearances, here's what you need to know!Emma holds a PhD in Ancient History and is the author of a number of fabulous books about the ancient world. This includes: A History of the Roman Empire in 21 Women, A Fatal Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum and Agrippina: Empress, Exile, Hustler, Whore. Not only a writer, Emma also co-hosts the History is Sexy podcast. Besides all this, she's an all round fabulous human and cat-lover.In this episode, we were fortunate enough to chat to her about her latest book, Servus: How Slavery Made the Roman Empire - or, if you are based in the US, the alternative title is Not Built in a Day: How Slavery Made the Roman Empire.Along with deep research into the source material, Emma considers the emotional experience of being an enslaved person in various contexts within the Roman world. This can be a challenging topic to study, and not only because of how truly awful it was. We just don't have as much as we would like from the perspective of enslaved people, or about their lives in general. Enslaved people were not considered to be suitable subjects for long biographies. Things to Look Out For: ‘Best' and ‘worst' case scenarios for an enslaved personHow slavery evolved throughout Rome's history Resistance to slavery ManumissionFreedmen and women Family relationshipsSlave rebellions (hey Spartacus!) Some of the most appalling behaviour we have seen from the Romans yet! You can add Servus: How Slavery Made the Roman Empire to your bookshelf now!

Episode 181 features Army Special Forces veteran, Alex Dekker, debut author of Desert Heist, a high-adventure thriller in the vein of Indiana Jones and National Treasure. Desert Heist smashes a lot of things together in a really fun way that feels both familiar and fresh because Alex spent twenty years in special operations, including time in the Middle East, and he brings that experience to the page. But Desert Heist isn't just a military thriller. It's a high-adventure story about a former Green Beret named Nate Wilde — a skeptic by nature and by training — who gets pulled into the mystery of the Lost City of Ubar also known as the Atlantis of the Sands. Alex and I talk about the power of fiction, how stories shape us when we're young, what it's like to take real experiences and put them into a fictional world, and why sometimes the best thing a writer can do is tell the kind of story we already love — and tell it really, really well. Topics include: The power of fiction and why the stories we love as kids stay with us Writing a fictional adventure story from real special operations experience The Lost City of Ubar and the hidden-history rabbit holes behind Desert Heist Nate Wilde as a skeptical Green Beret who wants to believe — but needs proof Why the book feels like a throwback in the best possible way Building a team dynamic that feels real to veterans and non-veterans alike Transitioning out of the military and into a completely new creative world The author community, ThrillerFest, blurbs, publishing, and learning a new industry Why former operators reconnecting can feel like finding home again What it means to tell the kind of story we already love — and tell it really, really well Episode Sponsors: VM Merch Go Pills -- use "VM15" at checkout for 15% off your order.

As You Wish Talk Radio Real Disclosure, the Great Inversion, and the Call to Rise in Universal Law James Gilliland discusses real disclosure, higher-dimensional contact, the great inversion, controlled UFO narratives, spiritual accountability, and living with an open mind, loving heart, and pure intent. Real Disclosure and the Players Behind the Story In this episode of As You Wish Talk Radio, host James Gilliland opens by saying he wants to discuss “real disclosure,” the “great inversion,” and what he believes people need to understand about the forces involved. He presents a spiritual and extraterrestrial framework involving lower-dimensional forces, fallen Anunnaki, reptilians, grays, insect beings, demonic energies, and what he describes as dark cabal activity. He uses this framework to argue that mainstream UFO disclosure has become, in his view, a controlled and exhausted narrative rather than a truthful release of information. Ancient History, Suppressed Teachings, and the Vibrational Continuum James moves through a wide-ranging account of ancient history, biblical interpretation, Anunnaki stories, flood narratives, the firmament, King James, the Council of Nicaea, the Ethiopian Bible, and what he calls “recycled ignorance.” He argues that people must seek deeper ancient knowledge rather than accept limited religious or historical programming. From there, he describes a vibrational continuum, with lower fourth-dimensional forces associated with demonic or parasitic energies, mid-fourth-dimensional souls caught in reincarnation cycles, upper fourth-dimensional teachers and guides, and fifth-dimensional Christ or Buddha consciousness as the beginning of unity consciousness. Higher Councils, Ascension, and Contact With Enlightened People The episode then shifts into James's description of higher-dimensional beings and councils, including Pleiadian, Orion Council of Light, Sirian, and Andromedan groups. He says the planet is undergoing an ascension process and that human physical, mental, emotional, astral, and etheric bodies are being challenged, purged, and healed as part of that shift. James emphasizes that spiritually and technologically advanced beings will not contact the status quo, entertainment-driven UFO personalities, or those embedded in chaos, but will instead connect with people who have created a heart-centered, peaceful, service-oriented space. The Great Inversion and Accelerated Karma A major theme of the program is what James calls the great inversion, which James says the Pleiadians explained the great inversion to him as an energetic process in which what people have put out returns to them condensed, amplified, and accelerated. He says this is not God punishing people, but karma and universal law coming back into balance. In his view, those who have acted with kindness, love, generosity, service, and integrity will experience uplifting returns, while those involved in predatory behavior, corruption, manipulation, trafficking, exploitation, and control will lose the power and gains they accumulated through harmful means. Controlled Disclosure, Ufology, and Following the Money James sharply critiques what he sees as controlled disclosure and entertainment-driven ufology. He references congressional efforts, public disclosure figures, media personalities, intelligence ties, Rockefeller and CIA influence, paid narratives, dark money, and people he believes are part of planned opposition or limited hangouts. He encourages listeners to follow the money, examine people's deeds rather than their words, look for agency and family ties, and ask who is truly talking about spiritually and technologically advanced beings capable of ending war, disease, and destructive energy systems. ECETI, Contact Evidence, and Lessons From Betrayal James discusses his own long history with contact, saying ECETI has documented decades of sightings, ships, landings, videos, photographs, and experiences witnessed by guests, scientists, and visitors. He asks why this body of experience is not included in mainstream disclosure events, conferences, or documentaries. He also shares a personal account of being financially and spiritually betrayed in a project connected to Hawaii, whales, dolphins, UFO contact, healing work, and ascension efforts. He frames that experience as another example of people presenting high ideals while acting with self-interest once money and opportunity appear. Universal Law, Personal Accountability, and the Closing Skywatch The closing message urges listeners to stop focusing on titles, claims, performance, or spiritual branding and instead examine whether people are living according to universal law. James defines that path through open-mindedness, a loving heart, pure intent, service to others, healing old wounds, releasing trauma, making a personal connection with Creator, and becoming “worth contacting.” After the main talk, the transcript shifts into a skywatch-style field segment where people react emotionally to lights or objects in the sky powering up, followed by a promotional invitation to join ECETI, watch As You Wish Talk Radio, view skywatch videos, and explore workshops on self-mastery, herbalism, grounding, and shielding.
There's nothing new under the sun. In this evergreen audio essay, host John Gerardi traces a startling line from the child sacrifice of the ancient world to the abortion debate in modern California. Reading through Samuel, Kings, and Chronicles, John unpacks why the Israelites were tempted to worship pagan gods like Baal, Asherah, and Molech, and how those religions divorced worship from morality (think Julius Caesar as both high priest and war criminal) in ways that made discarding inconvenient children disturbingly ordinary, from Roman infant exposure to Spartan eugenics. Then John turns to the revolution: how Judaism and Christianity reshaped Western civilization by insisting that women, slaves, the poor, and the unborn all bear the image of God, and how the earliest Christians stood apart precisely because they refused to abandon their children. Finally, he tackles the question every pro-lifer wrestles with: if the science is settled, why is abortion more popular than ever? His answer is a challenge to rethink compassion itself, from moral imagination and the difference between empathy and sympathy, to the cold economics of Medi-Cal that pay for abortion while maternity wards like Madera Community Hospital shut their doors.

What if your body isn't just a physical structure but a living transmitter and receiver of cosmic information? Jessica Taylor, channel and Pleiadian messenger, breaks down why the human body is fundamentally a system of frequencies, how your cells communicate through light, and why healing the biofield — your energetic terrain — is the foundation of all true transformation. She also unpacks how Pleiadian frequencies are interacting with human DNA right now, why so many people are experiencing physical symptoms as their consciousness upgrades, and how to work with sound, light, and frequency to accelerate your own cellular evolution. About the Guest Jessica Taylor is a channel, medium, and spiritual guide who works primarily with Kistos — a seventh-dimensional Pleiadian consciousness — alongside other galactic and interdimensional beings. Beginning her journey in mediumship, Jessica's vibration progressively elevated to galactic frequencies, transitioning from communicating with disincarnate humans to receiving transmissions about consciousness, dimensional reality, and humanity's ascension path. Her work focuses on helping individuals raise their frequency, open the heart center, and prepare for direct galactic contact through inner alignment rather than external seeking.

Most people visit Chichen Itza and leave. But the Yucatan holds something far deeper — hidden pyramids, sacred caves, alien carvings, underground cenotes, and living Mayan wisdom keepers who carry knowledge the world hasn't fully decoded yet. Neil, Nanakasha, and Chris Noble sit down to pull back the curtain on a sacred journey into the heart of the Maya — exploring how these ancient sites were built as power plants, initiation portals, and star maps, and why the land itself seems to heal everyone who arrives. From Atlantean origins and Pleiadian connections to crystal activations and levitation experiences, this is the Yucatan nobody talks about.

Heather Taylor Demo has lived a life most people couldn't imagine surviving — trafficked at 13, gang life in Orange County, face ripped off by a dog at age 2, and six near-death experiences across childhood and adulthood. But what she brings back from the other side each time isn't fear — it's medicine. In this raw and remarkable conversation, Heather shares what she was shown during her NDEs, the moment the Reaper told her karma was complete and she could leave, and why she chose to stay for her five kids. She also breaks down the science and soul behind crystal singing bowls, how sound frequency pulled her out of a wheelchair, and why the ancient technology of vibration is only now catching up with mainstream science. About the Guest Heather Taylor Demo is a six-time near-death experiencer, sound healing practitioner, herbalist, author, and co-creator of Divine Bowls — a direct-to-market crystal singing bowl company rooted in the original 1975 quartz bowl technology developed for the semiconductor industry. A 10th-generation preacher with indigenous and druid lineage, Heather survived trafficking, gang life, a decade in a wheelchair, and multiple brushes with death before stepping fully into her role as a healer, teacher, and storyteller. Her work bridges ancient plant medicine, frequency healing, and modern science — and she's currently expanding Divine Bowls globally while developing a Netflix series launching first in Japan.

Jerome Martin was a construction worker building landfills when five blue light beings phased through his truck engine and changed everything. What started as strange dreams became a years-long training program with Arcturian beings — teaching him to float, move objects with his heart, communicate telepathically, and eventually bring other people's consciousness onto the ship. In this conversation, Jerome breaks down how he developed his light body, what the reptilian races actually represent in our DNA and shadow self, why darkness is a catalyst not an enemy, and why disclosure isn't coming from the outside — it's already happening individually, one activated soul at a time. About the Guest Jerome Martin is a galactic contact facilitator, light body trainer, and founder of LightBody Boot Camp — a progressive training system modeled after the same development process he underwent during his Arcturian contact experiences beginning in 2017. Starting with no spiritual background, Jerome went from construction worker to teaching people how to activate their Merkaba, develop their clairsenses, access altered states while awake, and make direct contact with extraterrestrial beings. His work bridges galactic consciousness with practical embodied training, drawing on transmissions from Arcturian, Sirian, and Pleiadian beings.

How do extraterrestrial craft actually move through space — and what does quantum entanglement have to do with it? Adam Apollo, physicist, galactic ambassador, and consciousness researcher, unpacks the real science behind spacetime bubbles, wormhole networks, and why warp drive is a dead end. But that's just the beginning. This conversation goes deep into the science of the aura (proven at NASA), how energetic cords form between people, what intentional psychic hooking actually looks like, why dark magic carries a threefold karmic backlash, and how holding space for someone's wound is the most powerful thing you can do — even for the most dangerous people in the room. About the Guest Adam Apollo is a physicist, futurist, galactic consciousness researcher, and the founder of the Resonance Academy for Unified Physics. A self-described Sirian ambassador and ancient dragon in human form, Adam has spent over two decades bridging cutting-edge physics with ancient wisdom traditions, indigenous initiatory knowledge, and extraterrestrial contact. His work spans unified field theory, light body development, sacred geometry, and planetary stewardship. He is also the creator of Core Nexus — a next-generation AI-powered platform launching in 2025 that combines social intelligence, course creation, and impact-driven philanthropy into one ecosystem.

Misha Glenny and guests discuss the origins and evolution of an alliance which transformed the geopolitics of the classical world: the Delian League. Since the start of the 5th Century BCE, city states across Greece had been fighting a series of armed conflicts in the Greco-Persian Wars. After the defeat of a second Persian invasion in 478 BCE, a league of cities across Greece came together and formed a new alliance led by Athens. That alliance is now known as the Delian League, after the island of Delos where it was established. In the following decades, Athens used the Delian League to grow its own wealth and formidable naval power. Cities which tried to leave the alliance found themselves violently put down and their lands confiscated by the Athenians. What had begun as a cooperative alliance sworn to resist the Persian Empire gradually started to seem like it may have created another imperial power: the Athenian Empire.WithLeah Lazar Lecturer in Hellenistic Culture at the University of ManchesterPolly Low Professor in the Department of Classics and Ancient History at the University of DurhamAndPaul Cartledge AG Leventis Senior Research Fellow of Clare College, University of CambridgeProducer: Martha OwenAristophanes (trans.

Shima Moore has been in the consciousness space since 1994 — before the internet, before it was cool, before anyone knew what to call it. In this conversation, she reflects on 30 years of watching humanity wake up, shares the spontaneous download that cracked her open in college, and breaks down why right now is one of the most cosmically significant moments in recorded history. Saturn and Neptune are meeting at zero degrees Aries — a conjunction that hasn't happened in 6,000 years — and what that means for manifestation, collective potential, and the changing of the ages. If you've ever wondered why everything feels so accelerated right now, this is your answer. About the Guest Shima Moore is a longtime astrologer, educator, and consciousness event pioneer who has been a driving force in the conscious expo world since the early 1990s. A former program director and editorial director for multiple conscious living expos, Shima has dedicated her life to bringing esoteric wisdom, astrology, and self-knowledge to the public. She lives in Mount Shasta, California, and continues to teach astrology, lead panels, and curate transformational events that bridge cosmic awareness with everyday life.

Uri Lee went from fashion consultant in downtown LA to moon priestess, clinical hypnotherapist, and mushroom ceremony facilitator — and the journey in between involved angelic beings fighting over her soul, a divorce that cracked her open, and seven years of deep work with plant medicine that changed everything. In this conversation, Yuri breaks down the difference between psilocybin and Amanita muscaria, why the Vatican labeled Amanita poisonous to keep people controllable, how she combines regression therapy with mushroom ceremonies to help people time travel and heal subconscious blockages, and why mushroom's single message to humanity is simply this: be fearless. About the Guest Uri Lee, known as the Mushroom Lady, is a clinical hypnotherapist, moon priestess, regression therapist, and plant medicine ceremonialist based in Los Angeles. After a career in fashion and a decade-long personal healing journey through marriage, divorce, and spiritual awakening, Yuri spent three years in Sedona deepening her practice before building a unique healing modality that combines regression therapy, breathwork, mushroom ceremonies, and moon rituals. She works primarily with psilocybin and Amanita muscaria — offering microdosing products, tinctures, and guided ceremonial experiences designed to dissolve subconscious blockages and restore fearlessness.

There seems to be an increase in online claims and speculation that every modern civilization and culture is the byproduct of people with dark skin. Specifically, black Africans. The origins of this are rooted in pseudo historical works, flawed science, assumptions and myths, and the evolution of a movement against European centrism. Some of it is also rooted in misidentification of very basic theological and mythological symbolism. For example, the black Buddha is not an African. He represents the void.; the shadow self that one must explore if they wish to transform into the golden Buddha. Other words, to achieve enlightenment, one must go within the self to conquer their demons and accept who they truly are. The same literal interpretations of black Buddha are applied to the androgynous nature of Baphomet, with people delete that it is a literal hermaphrodite. But the ‘blacks founded all civilization' narrative, from Sweden to China, is only the racial version of ‘every dead person is alive' and ‘every woman is actually a man'. This is currently playing out with Jews, claiming that they built America, and whites claiming that they, not blacks, built the world. It's all very stupid.*The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements. If you want an ad-free experience, subscribe below.
Something is very wrong in the opening scenes of the Odyssey. The master of the house is gone. His wife is besieged. His son is powerless. And the men eating him out of house and home are waiting for the right moment to strike. Welcome to Part 1 (of 6!) of our new series, where we cover Homer's great epic. Part 1 covers Books 1 to 4, the monsters haven't arrived yet — but the groundwork for everything is laid here. What does it take to reestablish order once it has fallen? What kind of man can do it? Follow Telemachus as he learns to speak, to threaten, and to travel among serious men, and meet the figures who shape his fate: Athena, Penelope, Nestor, Menelaus, Helen, and the doomed suitors led by Antinous. As Christopher Nolan's film approaches, it's a perfect time to dust off a copy of Homer's Odyssey, and follow along this epic story in our 6-part retelling.Timestamps:0:00 Why the Odyssey begins with Odysseus's absence1:08 Introducing the show1:25 Book One: Athena visits Ithaca4:05 Telemachus welcomes the stranger7:33 The poem's opening lines and Odysseus's epithets10:06 Odysseus and the wrath of Poseidon11:43 The Council of the Gods13:58 Athena's plan to help Telemachus17:20 Athena's instructions: call an assembly19:08 The story of Orestes and Telemachus's zeal22:08 Penelope's first appearance27:00 Telemachus finds his courage29:25 Book Two: The Assembly begins31:56 Antinous defends the suitors35:59 The omen of the eagles37:55 Telemachus's plan revealed40:16 Athena returns as Mentor45:15 Telemachus sets sail for Pylos46:48 Book Three: Arrival at Pylos52:41 The story of Agamemnon and Aegisthus1:02:17 Book Four: Arrival in Sparta1:05:28 Helen's grand entrance1:11:41 Helen's magic drug1:19:50 Menelaus and Proteus, the shapeshifting sea god1:27:08 Menelaus's fate: the Elysian Fields1:32:09 The suitors plot to kill Telemachus1:33:23 Closing thoughtsCallouts:Special thanks to Dr. Richard Johnson for his longtime support of the show.

As You Wish Talk Radio with James Gilliland End of Tyranny, Chemtrails, Life, Before Adam and Eve, Jesus the Real Message The Inner God Spark, Hidden Control, and the Call to Rise Above Division Returning From Illness Into a Warning About Control In this episode of As You Wish Talk Radio, host James Gilliland returns after what he describes as a bout with “chemtrail flu” and frames the show around illness, targeting, spiritual warfare, and hidden systems of control. He introduces a video from a presenter identified in the transcript as possibly Bridgette Forteague of Light on Liberty, saying the video lays a foundation for the rest of the episode. The video presents “The Secret Covenant,” a conspiracy-oriented text describing an alleged elite plan to poison, weaken, distract, divide, and control humanity through food, water, air, medicine, media, money, religion, fear, war, and debt. The Secret Covenant and the Architecture of Enslavement The video segment describes a hidden ruling group that allegedly uses science, technology, poisons, entertainment, government, media, economic systems, and social division to keep people weak and unaware. It claims that heavy metals, sedatives, aging accelerators, corrupted food and water, medical systems, consumer distraction, debt, and engineered conflict are used to keep humanity divided and dependent. The narrator concludes that awareness breaks the spell, arguing that once people recognize the system's methods, they can build lives outside of it and stop feeding the structures designed to control them. Chemtrails, Poisoned Systems, and Social Engineering James uses the video as a launching point for his own discussion of what he says are poisoned air, water, land, food supplies, vaccines, biological agents, weather warfare, and engineered sickness. He claims chemtrails contain heavy metals, graphene, nanoparticles, neurotoxins, biologicals, and other harmful substances, and he connects these claims to illness, dying trees, failing crops, dead fawns, fog events, hurricanes, tornadoes, and what he calls the “real war” overhead. He argues that people are participating in their own enslavement by continuing to support systems that, in his view, want humanity sick, impoverished, divided, or dead. Ancient History, Star Colonies, and the Suppressed Feminine The episode then moves into James's account of ancient and extraterrestrial history. He discusses alleged off-world colonies, underground civilizations, Sumerian tablets, primordial gods and goddesses, Anunnaki, Enki, Ninhursag, Mami, the Adam Kadmon seed, Yahweh, Asherah, Adam and Eve, Enoch, and ancient flood narratives. He emphasizes that earlier traditions included masculine and feminine divine pairs and argues that later patriarchal systems, governments, religions, and Rome suppressed the feminine and distorted the teachings of Jesus. He also references teachings attributed to Yeshua ben Joseph that locate the temple in the heart rather than in external religious structures. Personal Connection, Universal Law, and the Danger of False Teachers James repeatedly urges listeners to stop giving their power away to external authorities, gurus, teachers, religions, or spiritual personalities who do not lead people inward to their own direct connection with Creator, God, Great Spirit, or the Most High. He warns against people who claim special status, gather followers, exploit wounds, create dependency, or present themselves as uniquely chosen. For James, authentic spirituality empowers each person's own soul purpose, while false teaching feeds on ignorance, trauma, jealousy, competition, and the need for external approval. Division, Projection, Karma, and the Rising Frequencies A major theme of the episode is that division is the tool of oppressors. James names race, color, religion, gender, spiritual competition, gossip, jealousy, victimhood, and ideological conflict as ways people are kept fragmented. He says unity is the “kryptonite” of the controllers and that love, joy, bliss, universal peace, brother-sister love, individual freedom, and prosperity for all are the principles of universal law. He also says waves of solar, energetic, and consciousness-based change are accelerating karma, exposing false motives, and bringing unresolved wounds, traumas, wrong conclusions, and attachments to the surface for healing. Sky-Watch, UFO Activity, and the Closing Call to Go Within The later portion shifts into a cleaned sky-watch/video segment, with James and participants reacting to lights, ships, fleets, the space station, Starlink, planes, and what they describe as UFO activity over the ranch. They comment on objects powering up, crossing, flashing, moving in groups, and interacting near aircraft or the space station. The episode closes by returning to James's core message: keep an open mind, a loving heart, and pure intent; stop participating in division and external worship programs; get grounded in nature; listen to inner guidance through the heart; and focus on love, joy, and bliss while being kind to each other and the planet.

Misha Glenny and guests discuss an ancient civilisation who lived over 2000 years ago in the southwest of modern-day Libya. During prehistoric times, the Sahara Desert was greener and even had large lakes, but for the last 5000 years it has been a hyperarid environment. Extreme swings of temperature and limited surface water might make the Sahara seem like an inhospitable place to live, but an ancient people in North Africa known to us as the Garamantes thrived there. Following descriptions of the Garamantes in Roman and Greek texts, the Garamantes have often been seen as pastoral nomads, or as tribal barbarians on the periphery of the Mediterranean world. But the work of archaeologists in recent decades has revealed something different. Evidence suggests a society with flourishing towns and cities, complex underground irrigation systems, a key role in trade routes across the Sahara – and may give us a broader view of ancient history.WithDavid Mattingly Emeritus Professor of Roman Archaeology at the University of LeicesterFarès Moussa Visiting Fellow at the University of Southampton and Cultural Heritage ConsultantAndJosephine Quinn Professor of Ancient History and Fellow of St John's College, University of CambridgeProducer: Martha OwenReading list:C.M.
