Wir springen in dieser Folge zurück in die Antike: nach Rom, ins 1. Jahrhundert vdZw. Dort verfasst ein Dichter gerade ein Werk, das das Bild Roms, und vor allem auch das Bild seines neuen Herrschers Augustus bis heute prägen wird. Aber dieses Werk, die Aeneis, hätte eigentlich zerstört werden sollen. Warum das nicht passierte, weshalb die Aeneis überhaupt geschrieben wurde und wer dieser Mann war, der damit so unsterblich wurde, darüber sprechen wir in dieser Folge. //Erwähnte Folgen - GAG556: Galeas per Montes – https://gadg.fm/556 - GAG451: Eine kleine Geschichte der verlorenen Bücher – https://gadg.fm/451 - GAG435: Die Schlacht bei Carrhae – https://gadg.fm/435 - GAG390: Kleopatra Selene und das Ende der Römischen Republik – https://gadg.fm/390 - GAG466: Julia Felix und das Ende Pompejis – https://gadg.fm/466 - GAG336: George Smith und die Entdeckung des Gilgamesch-Epos – https://gadg.fm/336 - GAG498: Eine kleine Geschichte des Grimoires – https://gadg.fm/498 //Literatur - Farrell, Joseph, und Michael C.

How did a young king from a small northern Greek kingdom become one of history's most influential figures and what might have happened if he had lived another twenty years?
Sex in the distant past is often thought about with all the fun taken out of it.Pleasure must have been a part of the sex lives of women and men in the past, so what evidence do we have to back this up? What evidence of queer sex and attraction is there? And how did the Victorians try to cover up sex and pleasure in Ancient Greece and Rome?Joining Kate today is the wonderful historian and author Jean Menzies, whose new book explores all of this and more.*TW: sexual violence discussed at the start of the episode*Edited by Hannah Feodorov.

Thousands of years ago, Ancient Greek travellers created a list of the most extraordinary sights they encountered: the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. These included places like the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, the Lighthouse of Alexandria, and the Colossus of Rhodes. Today though, only one still survives: the Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt. So, in the early 2000s, a huge international campaign called the “New Seven Wonders of the World” aimed to create a modern list of wonders. Some governments launched campaigns encouraging citizens to vote for their country's monument. Critics argued that countries with larger populations had an unfair advantage. And UNESCO, the United Nations organisation responsible for protecting world heritage sites, was not involved in the project. So today, I want to explore the story behind the New Seven Wonders of the World. What are they? Why were they chosen? And do they really deserve the title of “wonder”? And we will do all of this while learning some new vocabulary and practicing your English listening comprehension.

A rich and immersive reinterpretation of the history of Western thought, The Evolution of Western Thought: Volume 1, From the Ancient World to Late Antiquity (Cambridge UP, 2025) – the first in a major trilogy – explores the transmission and development of philosophical ideas from Plato and Aristotle to Jesus, Paul, Augustine and Gregory the Great. Christopher Celenza recalibrates philosophy's story not as abstract argumentation but rather as lived practice: one aimed at excavating wisdom and shaping life. Emphasizing the importance of textual tradition and elucidation across diverse contexts, the author shows how philosophical and religious ideas were transformed and readjusted over time. By focusing on the centrality of Christianity to Western thought, he reveals how ancient ideas were alchemized within religious frameworks, and how – across the centuries – ethical and intellectual traditions intersected to shape culture, memory, and the pursuit of sagacity. Ever attentive to ongoing conversations between past and present, this expansive intellectual history brings perspectives to the subject that are both nuanced and fresh. Christopher S. Celenza is an American scholar of Renaissance history and the current James B. Knapp Dean of the Krieger School of Arts and Sciences at Johns Hopkins University, where he is also a professor of history and classics Morteza Hajizadeh is a Ph.D. graduate in English from the University of Auckland in New Zealand. His research interests are Cultural Studies; Critical Theory; Environmental History; Medieval (Intellectual) History; Gothic Studies; 18th and 19th Century British Literature.

Inspiration continues to come from anywhere. It wasn't just during the turn of the century that L'Art Antique, or the art of the classical/antique world [Egypt, Greece, Rome], was finding its way into so many facets of our aesthetics. Many of the stylistic elements that have remained highly prominent over the centuries. With such a worldwide impact, Art Nouveau built on something ancient, creating something truly timeless.

How does God's love keep showing up for us, even when we struggle? In this episode Professor Aaron Schade reframes the book of Judges as more than a collection of heroic stories. Instead, he describes it as a sobering account of spiritual decline, broken covenants, and the consequences of living according to "what is right in our own eyes." Professor Schade explores the recurring cycle found in Judges: ancient Israel turns away from God, experiences suffering, cries out for relief, and is delivered only to fall again. Rather than celebrating the judges as flawless leaders, he highlights their imperfections and the deeper message of the text as a lament over moral confusion and a society unraveling without covenant guidance. Further, Professor Schade explains that at the center of the book of Judges is the example of God's steadfast, unwavering love. Even as His people struggle to truly repent, He continues to reach out, deliver, and invite them back into a relationship with Him. This episode invites us to wrestle with difficult questions about agency, obedience, and discipleship while discovering the powerful truth that God's love persists. Even in the midst of our failures, God's love is always calling us back to Him.

When we think of the Bible in the ancient world, we tend to think of bishops, priests and monks. But what did 'ordinary' people make of the Bible – and how did they engage with it?

Lucy Grig is Professor of the History of Late Antiquity at the University of Edinburgh. Among her many publications, she is the editor of ‘Popular Culture in the Ancient World' (CUP, 2017) and has written on ‘The Bible in popular and non-literary culture' as part of The New Cambridge History of the Bible (2013).

L'Art Antique, or the art of the classical/antique world [Egypt, Greece, Rome], has many stylistic elements developed over the centuries that remain highly prominent today. Arguably, no artistic movement has had a greater worldwide impact than Art Nouveau. When new artists look back to build on something ancient, they create something truly timeless.

Bis in den Himmel hinein ragte einst der Große Leuchtturm von Alexandria, sein Licht so hell wie eine zweite Sonne. Voller Ehrfurcht schauen Schiffsreisende auf das riesige Bauwerk, das sie sicher in den Hafen geleitet und die Macht der Götter und der Herrscher über die Stadt symbolisiert. Der erste Leuchtturm der Geschichte wird so groß & berühmt werden und so lange bestehen wie kaum ein anderes antikes Bauwerk, doch letztlich wird er fallen. Wir verfolgen die Geschichte des Weltwunders nach, von den Anfängen bis heute.……Tickets für unsere Live-Tour im Mai! -……PREMIUMHis2Go unterstützen für tolle Vorteile - über Steady!Klick hier und werde His2Go Hero oder His2Go Legend……WERBUNGDu willst dir die Rabatte unserer weiteren Werbepartner sichern?

Leading the show is a landmark result from the ALMA telescope: the first-ever measurement of semi-heavy water inside an interstellar object. The interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS contains up to 40 times more deuterium-rich water than Earth's oceans, revealing it formed in an ultracold environment very unlike our own solar system. The hosts then unpack the solution to a decades-long mystery: a massive binary star system near the galactic centre is responsible for the gas clouds feeding the Milky Way's supermassive black hole. Japan's MMX spacecraft — currently on the launch pad — is introduced, along with the exciting detail that its sample capsule will return Phobos material to Australian soil in 2031. Stellar archaeologists at ISTA have found fossilised magnetism on white dwarf stars, shedding light on the Sun's distant future. A thought-provoking segment examines the idea that any alien civilisation searching for intelligent life may already have detected us. And the episode closes with timely aurora and comet skywatching advice for Southern Hemisphere listeners.

On the night of July 21, 356 BC, the sky over the city of Ephesus glowed with the flames of one of the most famous fires in World History. On the same day as Alexander the Great's birth, the Temple of Artemis, a Wonder of the Ancient World, was reduced to rubble by fire. The destruction was not the result of an encroaching army or a dispute between Empires; it was history's most famous act of arson, executed by a lonely fame seeker named Herostratus. Learn more about the Temple of Artemis, which lived a life of glory, mystery, resurrection, and destruction on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

They are joined by Tom Holland — historian and co-host of The Rest Is History and author of landmark books on Rome, Persia, and the roots of Western civilization — to explain why the Romans were wrong about the Jews, why the West fundamentally misunderstands Iran, and why secularism is itself a religious inheritance.

In this second part of our recent meetup with @thelandofchem the conversation shifts to how lightning and natural electromagnetic fields could drive activity inside the Great Pyramid. Geoffrey Drumm outlines a model where stone, geometry, and resonance work together to convert electrical input into ultrasonic energy. The discussion expands beyond Giza to consider how other ancient sites may have interacted with telluric currents and atmospheric electricity. What emerges is a broader picture of ancient structures as interfaces with the planet's electrical environment.Part 1: https://youtu.be/8eDPEdJl2NEPATREON https://www.patreon.com/c/demystifysciPARADOX LOST PRE-SALE: https://buy.stripe.com/7sY7sKdoN5d29eUdYddEs0bHOMEBREW MUSIC - Check out our new album!Hard Copies (Vinyl): FREE SHIPPING https://demystifysci-shop.fourthwall.com/products/vinyl-lp-secretary-of-nature-everything-is-so-good-hereStreaming:https://secretaryofnature.bandcamp.com/album/everything-is-so-good-herePARADIGM DRIFThttps://demystifysci.com/paradigm-drift-show00:00 Go!

What if the end of the world isn't something we're waiting for… but something being set in motion? In this chilling episode, we explore disturbing claims that some leaders may be viewing modern conflict—especially tensions with Iran, ancient Persia—not just as war, but as prophecy unfolding in real time. If belief begins to shape policy, where does that leave the rest of us? Joining us is Chris Bennett, a globally recognized author and researcher who has spent over three decades investigating the role of cannabis in ancient spirituality, religion, and sacred ritual. From Green Gold the Tree of Life to Cannabis: Lost Sacrament of the Ancient World, Bennett's work bridges mysticism, scripture, and history, with features in major outlets like the BBC, The Guardian, and The Washington Post. But his research goes deeper—into the dangerous intersection of Biblical prophecy and modern geopolitics. Bennett warns of a critical shift: when people stop interpreting prophecy… and start trying to fulfill it. Because when prophecy becomes policy, war is no longer avoidable— It becomes inevitable. Is Armageddon just a warning… or are we already walking into it?

How did a humble desert fruit help build some of the world's earliest civilizations? Why did ancient farmers in Mesopotamia become master matchmakers for palm trees? And how did the date palm come to symbolize life, victory, and divine blessing across the ancient world?
An Interview with Shawna Dolansky Historian Shawna Dolansky invites listeners to rethink the story of Eve in Genesis. Rather than a villain responsible for humanity's fall, Eve may be the story's protagonist—reasoning, choosing, and moving history forward. Dolansky explores how ancient readers understood the Eden story, how later interpreters—from Ben Sira to Augustine and Milton—reshaped it, and why recovering the story's ancient Near Eastern context can change how we understand Genesis today. Professor Shawna Dolansky is an historian who specializes in the emergence of the Hebrew Bible within its ancient Near Eastern context. Her work cuts across disciplinary boundaries of religious studies, literature, history, anthropology, and archaeology. Current research interests include a study of the history of Adam and Eve in popular culture and re-thinking the figure of Jezebel in the Hebrew Bible in light of historical and archaeological considerations. Both interests are part of a larger digital humanities graphic history project, "Women of the Ancient World," which is coming soon to woawhistory.com. Dr. Dolansky will be presenting during the upcoming virtual conference "New Insights into the Hebrew Bible (NIHB)" offered by Bart Ehrman. NIHB is a three-day virtual conference (March 20-22, 2026) for people interested in serious biblical scholarship. The conference brings together leading experts to present focused, insightful talks on Genesis. Registration is open now. Click here for registration and more information.
Mirko Canevaro"L'Atene dei diritti"Editori Laterzawww.laterza.itSecondo uno dei miti fondativi dell'Occidente, i diritti dell'individuo sono un'invenzione moderna. Attraverso un'analisi attenta delle fonti greche – da Aristotele, passando per le leggi e i decreti dell'Atene classica e concreti casi giudiziari – questo libro dimostra al contrario che gli Ateniesi possedevano già una sofisticata concezione dei diritti del soggetto.In un'epoca in cui i diritti sono sotto attacco da più fronti – dalle democrazie illiberali di Orbán e Trump alle autocrazie che li denunciano come una forma di ‘imperialismo occidentale' – il modello ateniese offre spunti di riflessione inaspettati. Dimostra che l'idea di una priorità dei diritti non è un'esclusiva occidentale o moderna, ma è una aspirazione emersa ripetutamente, in forme diverse in culture diverse, dalle dinamiche stesse della socialità, a partire dalle lotte concrete per il riconoscimento e la dignità. Al contempo, il libro non nasconde un paradosso doloroso: quegli stessi Ateniesi che svilupparono una concezione così sofisticata dei diritti scelsero ostinatamente di negarli agli schiavi.Una lettura nuova e potente della democrazia ateniese di età classica che parla al nostro tempo inquieto, ricordandoci che la difesa dei diritti è sempre frutto di battaglie radicate nelle dinamiche e nelle contraddizioni della società.Mirko Canevaro è professore ordinario di Storia greca all'Università di Edimburgo, Fellow della Royal Society of Edinburgh e socio dell'Academia Europaea. Si è occupato di vari aspetti delle istituzioni, del diritto, della storia sociale e del pensiero politico delle città-Stato greche, e di Atene in particolare, sempre in dialogo con la modernità. Ha collaborato con “il Fatto Quotidiano” e “Micromega”. Ha pubblicato The Documents in the Attic Orators (2013), Demostene, Contro Leptine. Introduzione, traduzione e commento storico (2016), commenti al libro IV (2014) e ai libri VII-VIII (2022) della Politica di Aristotele. È curatore di opere collettanee, tra cui Slavery and Honour in the Ancient Greek World (2025) e The Cambridge History of Rights.

What happens when a church does all the right things but with the wrong motivation? In this message, Pastor Eric Robertson shares our necessary response. Ultimately, the Book of Revelation is about a problem that is only solved when God's people wake up, repent, and faithfully wait on the return of Jesus.One of the worst problems is the one you don't know you have.Even worse are the problems you can see but don't recognize.Ephesus: HistoryEphesus was an influential city in the Roman world: a major port city in Asia Minor—economically powerful, culturally diverse, and religiously pluralistic. Faithfulness required constant discernment.The city was defined by idol worship. The Temple of Artemis was one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Converting to Christianity meant rejecting the city's spiritual identity and economic system (Acts 19).Though the church seemed to be doing well, there was a glaring problem that John addressed.What Did It Mean: Revelation 2:1–7Each letter follows the criticism sandwich: (Good)(Bad)(Good).Jesus gives this critique while walking among the lampstands—the churches that illuminate Christ to the world.They served well, worked hard, corrected the wicked, removed toxic leaders, suffered faithfully, and didn't grow weary. Ephesus was a hard-working church.Imagine hearing: "You're great—but you don't love me."The letters were written to specific churches, but meant for all churches.What Does It Mean?This passage is often preached as a call to return to passion, but Jesus doesn't critique their passion.Paul once said of them: "Your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all God's people" (Eph. 1:15–16).The problem wasn't their works, but their why. They disconnected from the reason they exist.Returning to your first love is remembering why you do what you do: to love God and love others.When a church forgets its why, it doesn't stop working—it stops breathing.Our vision is Belong, Believe, Become, but Ephesus drifted into Believe, Become, Belong.When love is no longer the motivation, we build walls instead of bridges and become known for what we're against instead of Who we're for.How Do We Respond?1. Remember – "Consider how far you have fallen."Remember where you were when God found you and why the church exists.2. Repent – "Repent."Recognize how far you've drifted. The church illuminates Jesus, not itself.3. Return – "Do the things you did at first."Matthew 22:37–40: Love God and love your neighbor.If you don't love your neighbor, you don't have love at all.Closing: Revelation 2:7Whoever has ears, let them hear what the Spirit says to the churches.Returning to our first love is a return to paradise—the life God intended.If we fail to hear, our lampstand will be removed.The church at Ephesus no longer exists—only ruins remain.Have we fallen from our first love?

This week I'm uncovering a lost city that was left out of my lost cities two parter (episodes 131 and 132). Nineveh, the capital of the ancient Assyrian Empire, is mentioned in the Bible no less than 19 times. But, for millennia we weren't sure if it was a fictional setting or a real place. All of that changed in the 1840s when British explorer Austen Henry Layard discovered the ruins of a vast metropolis on the banks of the Tigris River that could only be Nineveh. Within those ruins he found a palace and within that palace a library, the Library of Ashurbanipal. The information held within Ashurbanipal's library told us everything we never knew about the Assyrian Empire, once the largest empire in the world. So, what did those clay tablets say?

Episode Description: The day starts with Max trying to score goals on the soccer field – but ends with the Problem Solvers trying to meet their goal of finding the next server. This takes them back to Ancient Greece and the legendary Colossus of Rhodes statue. There the foursome of Max, Molly, Katrina and Charlene use unit conversions, time calculations, and problem-solving to outsmart history without changing it. But when a shadowy figure appears, they realize the POGs may be closer than ever.

What if everything we are told about ancient civilizations is completely backwards?In this mind-expanding conversation, engineer and ancient mysteries researcher Tyler Engle breaks down why the ancient sites like the pyramids weren't tombs, they were time capsules. Messages written in stone about the nature of reality they knew their descendants would need to remember. Tyler explains how the recently discovered massive shafts beneath the Giza pyramids were possibly a planetary-scale energy battery and consciousness synchronization system.We explore the mystery of how ancient structures were built with precision impossible even with today's engineering. Tyler reveals technology being developed right now that transmutes matter through quantum geometry, and how this might explain what the ancients were really doing. We dive into plasma as a potentially intelligent life form, the hidden meaning behind crop circles that encode advanced physics, and why indigenous "mythology" about thunder beings might be more literal than we think.Tyler brings an engineer's rigor to topics that usually live in the realm of speculation, showing how ancient wisdom aligns perfectly with cutting-edge physics and our emerging understanding of consciousness as a fundamental force in the universe. We also get into why the educational system was designed the way it was, how to redesign it around hermetic principles, and why some people wake up to these ideas while others fall into traps like flat earth theory.This isn't just about the past—it's about remembering a technology of consciousness that could fundamentally change our future. If you've ever felt like there's something we're missing about how reality actually works, this conversation will give you a framework to understand it. A framework that might be necessary for our very survival. | Tyler Engle |►Website | https://bassforge.us/►Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/bassforge.us/►Tiktok | https://www.tiktok.com/@bassforge.us?lang=en►YouTube | https://www.youtube.com/@BassForge_us►Check Out Tyler Engle's new book Cryptex Esoterica: Divergent Science of the Ancient World | https://shorturl.at/1XdgJ►Check out Tyler and Laurie Engle's new books for kids based on the 7 Hermetic Principles | https://shorturl.at/9pihuThis episode is sponsored by►Metal Mark Golden Collectable Art | https://mtlmrk.com/►Korrect Energy | https://korrectlife.com/| Aubrey Marcus |►Website | http://bit.ly/2GesYqi ►Instagram | http://bit.ly/2BlfCEO ►Facebook | http://bit.ly/2F4nBZk ►X | http://bit.ly/2BlGBAdAdSubscribe to the Aubrey Marcus newsletter:https://www.aubreymarcus.com/pages/emailTo partner with the Aubrey Marcus PodcastSubscribe to the Aubrey Marcus podcast:iTunes | https://apple.co/2lMZRCn Spotify | https://spoti.fi/2EaELZO Stitcher | http://bit.ly/2G8ccJt IHeartRadio | https://ihr.fm/3CiV4x3

If we weren't so used to having books, we would think of them as a "miracle." That's how historian Irene Vallegoviews what she says is humankind's greatest and most influential invention: the book. "With their help, humanity has undergone an extraordinary acceleration of history, development, and progress," she tells host Nahlah Ayed. Vallego has traced written texts back to their earliest origins and she's written a book of her own, Papyrus: The Invention of Books in the Ancient World.
Join Mike and Tim as they dive into a lively discussion about the essence of family, identity, and faith. In this episode, they explore the concept of "adoption to sonship" and how it redefines our understanding of belonging and community. With humor and depth, they challenge traditional views and invite listeners to consider a broader perspective on what it means to be part of a spiritual family. Tune in for an engaging conversation that blends theology with everyday life, all wrapped in the warmth of the holiday spirit. In this conversation, the hosts explore the themes of faith, family, and community within Christianity, emphasizing the importance of understanding God as a father and the implications of adoption and sonship. They discuss the cultural context of Jesus' teachings, the role of individualism versus community, and the concept of loyalty to God's family. The conversation also touches on the distinction between bounded and centered sets in faith, ultimately inviting listeners to engage in a communal journey of faith. Takeaways: Christian nationalism is alive and well. Father is a status word, not a gender word. To be a part of Jesus is to be a part of his people. Jesus is not your personal savior. We're playing soccer, not rugby. The early Christians did not sharply distinguish between commitment to God and commitment to God's family. Salvation is a social reunification. You cannot be a part of two groups. Loyalty to God is loyalty to God's people. We are playing soccer, not rugby.
