In addition to the Phoenicians, the Philistines were a seagoing people that influenced the tribe of Dan. Archaeology and DNA confirm that the Philistines were descendants of people who had lived on Crete. A closer look at Greek mythology shows vestigial remnants of actual historical events and people with links to the Danites.

2014's Pompeii is all over the place. Designed to be a Roman apocalypse story with a star making turn by Game of Thrones' Kit Harrington, Pompeii fizzled at the box office. But strangely, it's a phenomenal film to talk about the Roman empire and the eruption of Mount Vesuvius. Historian and archaeologist Dr. Steven Tuck joins in to talk everything this film gets right and wrong about Roman history. Easily one of our best episodes ever.About our guest:Steven L. Tuck is a professor of classics, who is currently head of classics at Miami University. He teaches many classics courses at Miami University, especially those relating to the arts.He received a Ph.D. in Classical Art and Archaeology from University of Michigan in 1997, and he is the author of the textbook A History of Roman Art. In addition to his teaching, he has lectured the general public at Classics at the University of Colorado Boulder, Yale University, the University of Puget Sound, Baylor University and for the Getty Villa. He has also appeared in the media discussing classics, including in a 2019 feature for Atlas Obscura on the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 C.E. and its impact on refugees and migration in the ancient world. For the Vergilian Society, he managed the Villa Vergiliana in Cumae, and organized educational programs there. He is also the author of the brand new book Escape from Pompeii: The Great Eruption of Mount Vesuvius and Its Survivors.

winter's night enveloped Belgrade in its cloak, while the faint rays of moonlight struggled to pierce through the thick clouds.Sr: Река Дунав је успорено текла, ледена и мирна, док су се снежне пахуље лагано спуштале на обалу.En: The Danube River flowed slowly, icy and calm, while snowflakes gently descended onto its banks.Sr: Милош је стајао на мосту, дубоко загледан у воду, размишљајући о мистерији која га је мучила већ неколико месеци.En: Miloš stood on the bridge, gazing deeply into the water, pondering the mystery that had troubled him for several months.Sr: Милош је био археолог, заљубљен у српску историју и њене легенде.En: Miloš was an archaeologist, enamored with Serbian history and its legends.Sr: Ништа га није више фасцинирало од прича о древним реликвијама.En: Nothing fascinated him more than tales of ancient relics.Sr: Једна таква реликвија, која је наводно поседовала моћне тајне, нестала је последњих месеци.En: One such relic, which allegedly held powerful secrets, had disappeared in recent months.Sr: Сећајући се старих записа, Милош је био одлучан да је пронађе.En: Remembering ancient records, Miloš was determined to find it.Sr: Јована, локална новинарка, нашла се у овом истом олујном света гоном за причом која ће јој донети успех.En: Jovana, a local journalist, found herself in the midst of this stormy world in pursuit of a story that would bring her success.Sr: Имала је тајне изворе и жестоку амбицију да дође до права истина.En: She had secret sources and a fierce ambition to uncover the true story.Sr: Њено интересовање за несталу реликвију било је једнако Милошевом, али њени мотиви никада нису били потпуно јасни.En: Her interest in the missing relic matched Miloš's, but her motives were never entirely clear.Sr: Стефан, тајанствени историчар са својим везама, чинио се као савршен савезник.En: Stefan, a mysterious historian with his connections, seemed like the perfect ally.Sr: Али, Милош је осећао хладноћу у његовом погледу, и није могао да се отме утиску да и Стефан има своје разлоге, можда повезане са скривеним организацијама.En: However, Miloš felt a chill in his gaze and couldn't shake the impression that Stefan also had his own reasons, perhaps linked to hidden organizations.Sr: Док су се дани приближавали Никољдану, напетост је расла.En: As the days approached Nikoljdan, the tension grew.Sr: Милош је све више сумњао у то коме може веровати.En: Miloš increasingly doubted whom he could trust.Sr: У недељу пред празник, на обали Дунава, Сабрало се мало друштво—Милош, Јована и Стефан.En: On the Sunday before the holiday, on the banks of the Danube, a small group gathered—Miloš, Jovana, and Stefan.Sr: Снег је шкрипео испод њихових корака, док су се припремали за одлучујући тренутак.En: The snow crunched beneath their steps as they prepared for a decisive moment.Sr: „Постоји стара пећина испод ове стрме стене,“ прошапта Стефан, осматрајући терен.En: "There is an old cave beneath this steep cliff," Stefan whispered, surveying the terrain.Sr: „Тамо би могла бити реликвија.“En: "The relic could be there."Sr: Док су силовали пећину, пале месечине је откриво начелни пут кроз хладне, мокре стене.En: As they explored the cave, the pale moonlight revealed a path through cold, damp rocks.Sr: Водили су их трагови старих огледала и украса, сведоци брзог времена које је променило свет.En: They were guided by traces of ancient mirrors and ornaments, witnesses to the swift passage of time that changed the world.Sr: У дубини пећине, није било реликвије, али пространу нишу прекрштену ознакама којима су се приказивали древни ритуали.En: In the depths of the cave, there was no relic, but a spacious niche marked by symbols depicting ancient rituals.Sr: Тада је, у препирци интереса, изашла истина.En: Then, in a clash of interests, the truth emerged.Sr: Јована је хтела сензацију, Стефан моћ.En: Jovana wanted a sensational story, Stefan desired power.Sr: Али Милош је сада знао да истина није у писању свога имена изнад свих осталих.En: But Miloš now knew that truth wasn't about writing his name above all others.Sr: „Ово мора да остане тајна,“ рече он тихо, али одлучно.En: "This must remain a secret," he said quietly but firmly.Sr: „Да људи знају, уништили би све.“En: "If people knew, they would destroy everything."Sr: У непарним тзв. зимским месецима, завршили су тајну своје неугодне авантуре, а Милош је научио најважнију лекцију: културну баштину чини великим не само њено откривање већ и њена заштита.En: In the odd so-called winter months, they concluded their uncomfortable adventure, and Miloš learned the most important lesson: cultural heritage is made great not only by its discovery but also by its protection.Sr: Заставши на ивици те древне сцене, погледа у Јовану и Стефана, и прву пут их угледа као савезнике којима може веровати.En: Pausing at the edge of that ancient scene, he looked at Jovana and Stefan and, for the first time, saw them as allies he could trust.Sr: Странци су напустили репортерке и артефакте, свесни нових путева испред себе, путева који не воде само ка открићима већ и очувању.En: Strangers abandoned the reporter and the artifacts, conscious of new paths ahead, paths leading not only to discoveries but also to preservation.Sr: Наизглед свакодневно јутро у Београду започињало је, али овај пут, са сазнањем које је стањивало границу између човека и легенди.En: An apparently ordinary morning in Belgrade began, but this time, with an awareness that blurred the line between man and legends.

This important new work, Buddhist Landscapes: Art and Archaeology of the Khorat Plateau, 7th to 11th Centuries (NUS Press, 2023) by Stephen Murphy, build on extensive fieldwork and archaeological surveys to reveal the Khorat Plateau as having a distinctive Buddhist culture, including new forms of art and architecture, and a characteristic aesthetic. By combining archaeological and art historical analysis with an historical ecology approach, Murphy traces the outlines of Buddhism's spread into the region, along its major river systems. In this episode, hosted by Natali Pearson, Murphy shows how he has read this history into and against the Khorat landscape, attending to the emergence of monumental architecture such as stūpa, and Buddha images carved into the rockfaces of hills and mountainsides, and the importance on the Khorat Plateau of the use of boundary markers, or sīmā. This book provides a new picture of the region in the first and early second millennia, adding to our understanding of the development of Buddhism in Southeast Asia, and offering a new basis for other regionally-focused scholarship to thrive —from textual Buddhology to history to anthropology. As Murphy explains, this opens up new possibilities for understanding the early spread of Buddhism within different landscapes across Asia. Dr Stephen A. Murphy specialises in the art and archaeology of early Buddhism and Hinduism in Thailand, Laos, Myanmar, Cambodia and Malaysia. He is the Pratapaditya Pal Senior Lecturer in Curating and Museology of Asian Art, and Chair of the Centre of South East Asian Studies, at SOAS University of London. Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode, Carlton sits down with archaeologist Amy Gillaspie to revisit their shared time working with the remarkable Jones-Miller Bison Kill Site collections at the Denver Museum of Nature and Science. They begin by exploring the archaeological significance of Jones-Miller, one of the most important Paleoindian bison kill and processing sites on the Great Plains. Amy discusses the site's history, why it remains foundational to understanding communal hunting practices, and what makes its collection so unique.Together, Carlton and Amy reflect on their experiences working side by side with the Jones-Miller materials, offering insight into what the artifacts reveal about site organization, behavior, and the challenges of interpreting a massive legacy collection.The conversation then turns to the broader importance of revisiting museum collections and how new methods continue to shed light on old data. Amy also shares her thoughts on the future of Paleoindian research, preservation, and why the stewardship of legacy collections, such as those of Jones-Miller, remains essential for advancing Great Plains archaeology.TranscriptsFor rough transcripts of this episode go to https://www.archaeologypodcastnetwork.com/great-plains-archaeology/32LinksAmy Gillaspie Team Profile on Archaeology SouthwestScience Division Live: Jones-Miller Collection (YouTube)Science Division Pop-Up: The Jones Miller Collection (YouTube)Jones-Miller Collection on the Denver Museum of Nature & Science websiteWhy Store 41,000 Bison Bones?

Ivory was a luxury item in the ancient biblical world, associated exclusively with royalty and the rich. King Solomon sat on a throne of ivory in Jerusalem. King Ahab had a famous house of ivory in Samaria. Where did the Bible's ivory come from? Dr. Harel Shochat from the School of Archaeology and Maritime Cultures at the University of Haifa answers this question in a recently published article titled “A Thousand Years of Nubian Supply of Sub-Saharan Ivory to the Southern Levant, ca. 1600–600 B.C.E.” Dr. Shochat explains how ivory was exported from Nubia, Egypt's southern neighbor on the Nile, to the Southern Levant. On today's program, host Brent Nagtegaal and Dr. Shochat take a deep dive into his paper. They analyze what the data shows about ivory exports during biblical times.

Are you excessively tired with your hair falling out, nails always breaking, brain often foggy or sometimes, despite having youth on your side, maybe forgetting how to form a sentence? These are amongst the symptoms of iron deficiency, often underdiagnosed. Nuala McGovern will be speaking to Dr Sue Pavord, Consultant Haematologist and President of the British Society for Haematology, and freelance journalist Rose Stokes.The Royal College of Pathologists say that a shortage of consultants means that "1 in 5 families are now waiting 6 months or more, and some longer than 12 months" for post mortems. The 'paediatric and perinatal pathology workforce' report said there were no paediatric or perinatal pathology consultants in the South West, the Midlands or Northern Ireland. Dr Clair Evans, the chair of the college's advisory committee - a Consultant Paediatric and Perinatal pathologist explains the situation further. At lunchtime on Wednesday the Chancellor of the Exchequer Rachel Reeves, will unveil her much anticipated second budget. How could this budget affect the lives of women in 2026? We're joined by the BBC's Cost of Living correspondent Colletta Smith, to talk us through what we might see in the red briefcase on Wednesday. A self-portrait by Frida Kahlo has just sold for $55 million in New York. It is the highest price ever paid for a work by a female artist. To illustrate the magnitude of the difference, a painting by Klimt was also sold recently for $236m. Professor Renee Adams is a professor of finance at Oxford Saïd business school and researches the role of gender in the art market, where women's works generally achieve much lower values. She explains why and what needs to change. As part of the BBC 2 Civilisations series, tonight's programme looks at the rise and fall of the Aztec Empire and the part that a young woman played in its demise. She was called Malintzin and acted as translator at the momentous first meeting in 1519 between Montezuma, the ruler of the vast Aztec Empire, and the Spanish conquistador Hernán Cortés. To find out more about Malintzin and her role in Mexican history and culture Nuala is joined by Dr Elizabeth Baquedano, from the Institute of Archaeology at University College London and Dr Jessica Fernández de Lara Harada from the University of Oxford.Presenter: Nuala McGovern Producer: Kirsty Starkey
In this episode, Helen and Lloyd step into the fascinating world of women's health in the New Testament world. With help from Professor Laurence Totelin, they explore who provided care, how medicine related to magic, and what medicinal recipes a first-century woman might employ. Along the way, they revisit the woman with chronic bleeding in Mark 5, asking what ancient medical assumptions stand behind her treatments. Laurence Totelin is Professor of Ancient History in School of History, Archaeology and Religion at the University of Cardiff, specialising in Greek and Roman medicine, particularly women's health, reproduction, and botanical knowledge. She is the author of Hippocratic Recipes (2009), the co-author of Ancient Botany (2018), and is known for her public scholarship on ancient reproductive and cosmetic practices.SUPPORT BIBLICAL TIME MACHINEIf you enjoy the podcast, please (pretty please!) consider supporting the show through the Time Travellers Club, our Patreon.

If you want to trust the Bible, four tests guarantee its reliability. Historians evaluate the trustworthiness of all ancient manuscripts with specific criteria. If you wonder if you can trust the Bible, these four tests are your answer. The first three look at the manuscripts. They are the bibliographical, internal, and external tests. A fourth test proves the reliability of the authors. The bibliographical test reveals many more manuscripts, with copies written closer to their originals than any other ancient text. The New Testament's transmission accuracy virtually guarantees we have the original text. The internal test refutes claims of “errors” and contradictions. The external test proves the New Testament's reliability through archeology and contemporary non-Christian writings. Lastly, the New Testament authors' credibility is beyond reproach. The Bible is the most well-attested ancient document and that changes everything. But what are you going to do with that information? Stay to the end for a simple next step: read John or Luke for 10 minutes a day and let God speak.What you'll learn- How historians test ancient documents (4 key tests)- Why the New Testament outperforms other ancient works- Variants vs. “contradictions” (what the numbers really mean)- Archaeology & non-Christian sources that corroborate details- Why eyewitness authorship and early dating matter for trustSUBSCRIBE to our channel / @binmin_org JOIN the NEWSLETTER at https://binmin.org/newsletter/SUPPORT Binmin with a tax-deductible gift HERE - https://binmin.org/donate0:00 - INTRO 1:22 - OVERVIEW: 4 TESTS FOR RELIABILITY 1:59 - BIBLIOGRAPHICAL TEST: MANUSCRIPT COUNT2:42 - BIBLIOGRAPHICAL TEST: TIME GAP TO EARLIEST COPIES 3:17 - BIBLIOGRAPHICAL TEST: TRANSMISSION ACCURACY3:51 - INTERNAL TEST: VARIANTS VS.

Bearded vultures build giant, elaborate nests that are passed down from generation to generation. And according to a new study, some of these scavengers have collected bits and bobs of human history over the course of centuries. Scientists picked apart 12 vulture nests preserved in Spain and discovered a museum collection's worth of objects, including a woven sandal that could be more than 700 years old. Host Flora Lichtman talks with study author Ana Belen Marín-Arroyo, an archaeologist who studies ancient humans, about how the nests are giving us a glimpse into vulture culture as well as the lives of the people they lived beside.Guest: Dr. Ana Belen Marín-Arroyo is an archaeologist and professor of prehistory at the University of Cantabria in Spain.Transcripts for each episode are available within 1-3 days at sciencefriday.com.

About the Lecture: "Our democracy is getting self-destroyed, for it abused the rights of freedom and of equality; for it taught the citizens to regard insolence as a right, illegality as freedom, impertinence as equality, and anarchy as happiness." Isocrates, Athenian orator (436-338 BC) Democracy first emerged in ancient Athens in 507 BC following a long turbulent period of aristocracy and tyranny, when a nexus of intertwined geopolitical, sociopolitical, economic, and cultural developments led to the morphogenesis of this new political constitution. Athenian Democracy formulated the political ideology and fundamental principles that were later canonized by modern democracies, formalized defensive mechanisms against undue concentration of power and employed innovative integrative mechanisms to propagate its ideology and educate the citizens. Pathogenic traits-catalysts, however, such as the extreme polarization between mass and elite, demagogy, populism, failure of justice, apathy, and poor education caused extensive political ankylosis. Internal corrosion and changing historical conditions caused the decline and fall of Democracy three centuries later.Isocrates' aphorism, therefore, rings alarmingly all too pragmatic and relevant today, 250 years since the resurgence of Democracy in the modern era. Are we running a similar cycle, repeating old mistakes, standing at the same juncture, heading towards the same dead end? To navigate forward, find solutions, and shape our future, we need first to study our past.

Was Peter's hometown ever really lost—and have we just found it? In this episode, archaeologist and scholar Dr. Jeffrey Arroyo García joins Dru Johnson to explore how archaeology reshapes our understanding of the Gospels, popular media like The Chosen, and the portrayal of first-century Judaism. Drawing on his years excavating at El-Araj—the site increasingly believed to be biblical Bethsaida—Jeff walks us through how ancient inscriptions, Crusader-era churches, and Roman bathhouses reveal the story beneath the shoreline. But the episode takes a provocative turn when they discuss the show The Chosen. Jeff praises its storytelling and vibrancy but calls attention to a visual pattern with troubling roots: “The Pharisees are generally in black… And when they come into contact with Jesus… they wear lighter colors.” He explains how this “othering” of Pharisees—even subtly—echoes centuries of Christian anti-Jewish tropes. The conversation is honest, layered, and generous—balancing artistic license with historical clarity. “If you are interested in Jesus or a follower of Jesus,” Jeff warns, “then you can't be a Pharisee—just from clothing alone.” We are listener supported.
