We are now in a period in the liturgical calendar of the Jewish people known as the Three Weeks, which begins on the seventeenth day of the Hebrew month of Tammuz, and continues through the ninth day of the month of Av. It is a period of mourning and commemoration of many experiences of tragedy and sorrow in the Jewish past, and it culminates on the Ninth of Av, or Tisha b'Av, because on that day, in the year 586 BCE, Nebuchadnezzar's forces destroyed the First Temple in Jerusalem. It was also on that day, in the year 70 CE, that Roman forces destroyed the Second Temple in Jerusalem. These events the Jewish people, together, as a nation, remember at this time of year. But how can a person remember an event that he or she never experienced? That is the organizing question that the rabbi and historian Jacob J. Schacter asks in his eight-part video course, “The Jewish Meaning of Memory.” That course, like all of Tikvah's video courses, is available free of charge at courses.tikvah.org. This week, to elevate our study during the Three Weeks, we are broadcasting its first episode.
Plato (Πλάτων) (c. 428 BCE - c. 347 BCE)Στο Φαίδων, ο Πλάτωνας μας παρουσιάζει τις συζητήσεις που έκανε ο Σωκράτης με μαθητές του πριν πιει το κώνειο και αφορούν φιλοσοφικά, ηθικά και ψυχολογικά ζητήματα - Summary by karampas1968Genre(s): PhilosophyLanguage: Greek
Episode Topic: The Case of the Flat Arch New fieldwork at the Sanctuary of the Great Gods on Samothrace reveals flat arches in the Doric frieze of the Stoa, a structure built in the second quarter of the 3rd century BCE. Sam Holzman, Assistant Professor of Art and Archaeology at Princeton University, examines these keystone friezes, which predate similar examples in Italy by over 150 years and highlight a critical moment in ancient structural design, bridging Greek trabeated aesthetics with Roman architectural innovation. Holzman traces this evolution, from cantilever-based devices in Athens to plate-bande construction in late Republican Rome, showcasing the blending of form and function in the ancient Mediterranean.Featured Speakers:Samuel Holzman, Princeton UniversityRead this episode's recap over on the University of Notre Dame's open online learning community platform, ThinkND: https://go.nd.edu/fb23d7.This podcast is a part of the ThinkND Series titled Restoring Reason, Beauty, and Trust in Architecture.

A inflação anual na área do euro subiu ligeiramente para 2% em junho, face aos 1,9% registados no mês anterior, segundo os últimos dados do EurostatSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Bruselas presenta unos presupuestos para el periodo que va de 2028 hasta 2024 de casi 2 billones de euros, el 1,26% del PIB.. Alemania ya ha dicho que los rechazará al igual que Países Bajos que suelen rechazar cualquier incremento de las cuentas comunitarias. “El presupuesto planteado es muy alto”, dicen desde La Haya. Para los países del sur, sin embargo, se quedan cortas.. esperaban que llegará al 2% del PIB aunque lo más importante es que los programas tradicionales de fondos estructurales (cohesión, fondo social) o la política agraria pasarán ahora a integrarse en planes nacionales que deberían incluir estas políticas. La inflación de la zona euro se ha situado en el 2% en junio, lo que supone un repunte de una décima. Aún así, el IPC continúa en línea con el objetivo del BCE. Novartis lanza una recompra de acciones de hasta 10.000 millones de dólares y eleva su previsión de beneficios para 2025 y Volvo se dispara un 10% tras presentar unos resultados del segundo trimestre sólidos pero con una sorpresa, un cambio de políticas frente a los aranceles. Hablaremos con Ignacio Mazo, de BTS, del papel del liderazgo en un momento en que la incertidumbre global impacta directamente en la toma de decisiones empresariales. En la Tertulia de Cierre de Mercados debatiremos la actualidad con Francisco Canós, inversor y partner en Cyber-C, y Pedro Fernández, abogado y profesor.

Día importante para el primer ministro francés François Bayrou que presenta las líneas directrices del Presupuesto para 2026, en el que incluye un ahorro de 40.000 millones de euros para reducir el déficit al 4,6% del PIB el año que viene. Desde Agrupación Nacional le amenazan con una moción de censura si quiere "robarle el dinero a los franceses". En clave macro, el sentimiento económico alemán vuelve a mejorar en julio, según el indicador ZEW al igual que la producción industrial de la zona euro que repunta más de lo esperado. La supervisora jefe del BCE, Claudia Buch, señala que el BCE pondrá a prueba la resistencia de los bancos al riesgo geopolítico el año que viene. Ericsson recupera los números positivos en el segundo trimestre del año y bate expectativas. De la posible respuesta de la UE a los aranceles del presidente Trump y de su voluntad de seguir negociando hasta el 1 de agosto hablaremos con Julio Guinea, profesor de Derecho de la UE y RRII de la Universidad Europea de Madrid. Los temas de la actualidad los debatiremos en la Tertulia de Cierre de Mercados con José Ramón Pin, profesor emérito del IESE, y Antonio Alvarez-Ossorio, del despacho de abogados Alvarez-Ossorio Miller.
Are you not entertained? And this is what you think of us. O tempora! O mores!你们难道不开心吗？你们就是这么想我们的。啊，时代！啊，传统！Salvete! Minerva here— esteemed Roman goddess of reason, wisdom, handicrafts, and war. It's come to my attention that many of you have been thinking about Ancient Rome... a lot. But how much do you really know? I'll be the judge. Let's play a little game I like to call duo vera et mendacium! Or, to the rest of you: two truths and a lie. Let's meet our three brave contestants.萨尔维特！我是弥涅耳瓦——备受尊崇的罗马理性、智慧、手工艺和战争女神。我注意到你们很多人都在思考古罗马……思考了很久。但你们到底了解多少呢？我来评判。我们来玩个小游戏，我喜欢叫它“两个真相和一个谎言”！或者，对你们其他人来说：两个真相和一个谎言。让我们来认识一下我们三位勇敢的参赛者。And let's show them what they're playing for! An all-expense paid cruise aboard one of Caligula's pleasure barges! Prepare to be wined and dined on a trip you'll never forget— well, you'll probably forget. As for the losers...让我们让他们见识一下他们的本事！登上卡利古拉的豪华游船，享受全程免费游轮之旅！准备好享受这趟永生难忘的旅程吧——好吧，你很可能永远都忘不了。至于输家……The die is cast! Prepare to spot the lie! A. Gladiators had their own guilds. B. Most gladiatorial fights ended before anyone died. C. Gladiators were from an enslaved class.木已成舟！准备好揭穿谎言吧！A. 角斗士有自己的行会。B. 大多数角斗士的战斗在有人死亡之前就结束了。C. 角斗士来自奴隶阶层。And I thought this was an easy one. It's true that from their introduction around the 3rd century BCE, Roman gladiators were often enslaved or convicted criminals, but this changed by the 1st century CE. After the opening of the Colosseum in 80 CE, freemen and former soldiers began signing up for a life in the arena, lured by the potential for fame and regular employment. They even formed their own guilds, which organized funerals and provided pensions for gladiators' families if they were to die. But it took a lot of time and money to train a gladiator, so it wouldn't make any sense to have them fighting to the death— at least not all the time.我以为这个问题很容易回答。的确，自公元前3世纪左右罗马角斗士出现以来，他们通常是奴隶或罪犯，但这种情况在公元1世纪发生了变化。公元80年罗马斗兽场开放后，自由民和退伍军人开始报名参加竞技场生活，被名声和稳定工作的潜在吸引力所吸引。他们甚至成立了自己的行会，负责组织葬礼，并在角斗士身亡后为其家人提供抚恤金。但训练一名角斗士需要花费大量的时间和金钱，所以让他们战斗至死毫无意义——至少不是一直如此。Moving on to fashion: A. The toga was the cornerstone of daily Roman dress. B. Many Roman women wore dresses made with Chinese silk. C. Urine was the primary laundry detergent for Roman clothes.再来说说时尚：A. 托加长袍是罗马人日常服饰的基石。B. 许多罗马女性穿着用中国丝绸制成的连衣裙。C. 尿液是罗马人洗衣的主要清洁剂。While male Roman citizens did wear togas, they were strictly for ceremonial and official events. And they were worn over clothing, like tunics, never on their own. That would be indecent. As indecent as some writers called the flimsy Chinese silk dresses that became fashionable amongst upper class Roman women in the 1st century CE.虽然罗马男性公民也穿托加长袍，但仅限于礼仪和官方场合。托加长袍通常穿在束腰外衣之类的衣服外面，不能单独穿着。那样会显得不雅。就像一些作家认为公元1世纪在罗马上流社会女性中流行的轻薄中国丝绸连衣裙一样，托加长袍也显得不雅。

Jesusis finally condemned by Pilate and sent to be crucified on Golgotha. Accordingto John's Gospel, Jesus is forced to bear His cross. “And He, bearingHis cross, went out to a place called the Place of a Skull, which is called inHebrew, Golgotha" (John 19:16-18). (By the way, Johnis the only Gospel that does not mention Simon of Cyrene by name.) Matthew'sGospel tells it this way: “Now asthey came out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name. " (Matthew 27:31-33). Mark'sGospel gives us some additional information about Simon of Cyrene. “And whenthey had mocked Him, they took the purple off Him, put His own clothes on Him,and led Him out to crucify Him. Then they compelled a certain man, Simon aCyrenian, the father of Alexander and Rufus, as he was coming out of thecountry and passing by, to bear His cross. And they brought Him to the placeGolgotha, which is translated, Place of a Skull” (Mark 15:20-22) Historyalso gives us some information about the country of Cyrene where Simon wasfrom: Jews began migrating to Cyrene as early as the 3rd century BCE, primarilyunder Ptolemy I's policy to strengthen Cyrenaica, with further migrationsoccurring during the Roman period. The reasons for migration included politicalstrategies (Ptolemaic resettlement), economic opportunities (Cyrene'sprosperity and trade), religious connections (ties to Jerusalem), and, in laterperiods, escape from persecution or instability in other regions. By the timeof Simon of Cyrene in the 1st century CE, the Jewish community in Cyrene waswell-established, influential, and closely linked to Jerusalem, as evidenced bytheir synagogue and presence at major Jewish festivals. Cyrene was located inpresent day Libya next to Egypt. Itwas a part of the prisoner's humiliation that he carry his own cross to theplace of execution, so when Jesus left Pilate's hall, He was carrying eitherthe cross or the crossbeam (John 19:17). Apparently, He was unable to go on,for the soldiers had to "draft" Simon of Cyrene to carry the crossfor Him. (This was a legal Roman procedure. See Matt. 5:41.) When you considerall that Jesus had endured since His arrest in the Garden, it is not difficultto imagine Him falling under the load. But there is something more involved:carrying the cross was a sign of guilt, and our Lord was not guilty! Thousandsof Jews came to Jerusalem from other nations to celebrate the feasts (Acts2:5-11), and Simon was among them. He had traveled over 800 miles from Africato celebrate Passover, and now he was being humiliated on a most holy day! Whatwould he say to his family when he got home? But might have looked to Simon like a catastrophe turned out to be awonderful opportunity, for it brought him in contact with Jesus Christ. Simonprobably had come into the city of Jerusalem to attend the 9 a.m. prayermeeting in the temple, but got caught up in the crowd following Jesus to Hiscrucifixion. But God's providence place him in the right place at exactly theright time. It was then that the soldiers “compelled” him to carry the cross ofJesus. Wehave good reason to believe that Simon was converted because of this encounterwith Jesus. Mark identified him as "the father of Alexander andRufus" (Mark 15:21), two men that Mark assumed his Roman readers wouldknow. A Christian named Rufus was greeted by Paul in Romans 16:13, and it ispossible that he was the son of Simon of Cyrene. Apparently Simon and his twosons became well-known Christians who were held in honor in the church. BeforeSimon met Jesus, he had religion and devotion; but after he met Jesus, he hadreality and salvation. He did both a physical and spiritual "aboutface" that morning, and it transformed his life. God can still useunexpected and difficult situations, even humiliating situations, to bringpeople to the Savior. What is your story?
Today in History: Moses broke the stone tablets in anger because of the sin of the Golden Calf. He then destroyed the idol the same day (according to tradition, Exodus 32:6–35). During the Babylonian siege in 586 BCE, the daily Temple offerings stopped because of the famine (tradition). During the Roman siege in 70 CE, the Romans broke through the walls of Jerusalem (according to tradition). The Fast of Tamuz is a shorter fast on the Jewish calendar and lasts from sunrise to sunset. It is one of four similar fast days. The fast remembers the breeching of Jerusalem's walls. The Prophets promise these fast days will someday “become joy, gladness, and cheerful feasts for the house of Judah'” (see Zechariah 8:19).

La UE debería recibir la carta entre hoy y el fin de semana.. y será una carta previsiblemente compleja porque parece lógico esperar que incluya una disminución geográfica (entre estados miembros de la UE) para penalizar a unos más que a otros distinguiendo aranceles según el origen del producto (y es probable que España quede proporcionalmente peor tratada tras nuestra actitud diferencial en defensa). Pero el mercado descuenta que, en realidad, las negociaciones siguen abiertas hasta el 1 de agosto por muchas cartas que reciban. El PIB de Reino Unido se contrae por segundo mes consecutivo: cae un 0,1% en mayo y la alemana Isabel Schnabel, del BCE, considera que los tipos están en "buena posición" y que el listón para otro recorte está muy alto. Los temas de la actualidad los debatiremos en la Tertulia de Cierre de Mercados con Juan Iranzo, catedrático de Economía Aplicada de la UNED, e Iñigo Petit, ceo de IdenGlobal.

We're still in the year 394 BCE and we've seen Camillus has had a run in with the Falsican Schoolmaster. In this episode we move on further into the action of 394 BCE and look at 393 BCE as well. Is Camillus learning how to keep a low profile? He is praised from his success over the Faliscans and he doesn't rush for a triumph this time. But the challenge remains, that Camillus' forgotten vow to Apollo might be about to bite him on the bottom.A fateful voyage!Rome is pretty intent on fulfilling Camillus' forgotten vow to Apollo and this means a boat trip is in order. But sailing to Greece is not for the faint hearted, especially when you have such precious cargo as a golden bowl in tow. Tune in for adventures on the high sea!War with the AequiansThe Aequians, a thorn in Rome's side? Yes indeed. Do our sources agree? Of course not. It's Diodorus Siculus against Livy, duking it out with Siculus having just a mention of trouble, while Livy comes packing details. We take you through the chaotic details. The conflict centres in the town of Verrugo but watch out for mention of Tusculum as well.New Year, New You?It's time for the Roman census! We also see a return of the consulship in 393 BCE! The tussle about moving some of Rome's population permanently to Veii is back on the agenda. There's a faction in favour of a move to Veii and a faction against. Our sources seem to position this as a patrician/plebeian divide, but it might be more confusing or complicated than that.More Aequians on the Horizon…Somehow, the Aequian forces, that were absolutely devastated in 394 BCE are BACK baby but their appearance seems only a flash in the pan compared to Rome's troubles at home. There's tribunes of the plebs to worry about, factional infighting over what to do about Veii, and some trials to contend with as well. It's an exhausting time to be in Roman politics! Enter scene right: Camillus… How important was the tribune of the plebs right of veto? The question is raised in Livy's narrative.Things to listen out forSpecial legates - fancy!Pirates on the Mediterranean Sea!A fine of 10, 000 asses!What's going on the tribune of the plebs and the veto?A break from the pattern of the gens?

fWotD Episode 2988: Spyridon Marinatos Welcome to featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia's finest articles.The featured article for Thursday, 10 July 2025, is Spyridon Marinatos.Spyridon Marinatos (Greek: Σπυρίδων Μαρινάτος; 17 November [O. S. 4 November] 1901 – 1 October 1974) was a Greek archaeologist who specialised in the Minoan and Mycenaean civilizations of the Aegean Bronze Age. He is best known for the excavation of the Minoan site of Akrotiri on Thera, which he conducted between 1967 and 1974. He received several honours in Greece and abroad, and was considered one of the most important Greek archaeologists of his day.A native of Kephallonia, Marinatos was educated at the University of Athens, the Friedrich Wilhelms University of Berlin, and the University of Halle. His early teachers included noted archaeologists such as Panagiotis Kavvadias, Christos Tsountas and Georg Karo. He joined the Greek Archaeological Service in 1919, and spent much of his early career on the island of Crete, where he excavated several Minoan sites, served as director of the Heraklion Museum, and formulated his theory that the collapse of Neopalatial Minoan society had been the result of the eruption of the volcanic island of Thera around 1600 BCE.In the 1940s and 1950s, Marinatos surveyed and excavated widely in the region of Messenia in south-west Greece, collaborating with Carl Blegen, who was engaged in the simultaneous excavation of the Palace of Nestor at Pylos. He also discovered the battlefield of Thermopylae and excavated the Mycenaean cemeteries at Tsepi and Vranas near Marathon in Attica.Marinatos served three times as head of the Greek Archaeological Service, first between 1937 and 1939, secondly between 1955 and 1958, and finally under the military junta which ruled Greece between 1967 and 1974. He was an enthusiastic supporter of the junta; in the late 1930s, he had been close to the quasi-fascist dictatorship of Ioannis Metaxas, under whom he initiated legislation to restrict the roles of women in Greek archaeology. His leadership of the Archaeological Service has been criticised for its cronyism and for promoting the pursuit of grand discoveries at the expense of good scholarship. Marinatos died while excavating at Akrotiri in 1974, and is buried at the site.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:30 UTC on Thursday, 10 July 2025.For the full current version of the article, see Spyridon Marinatos on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm generative Olivia.

A Joana não poupa palavras sobre a forma como Portugal e a Europa lidaram com a Covid e explica porque defendeu a Suécia como modelo.Conversámos também sobre a perda de soberania nacional, o poder crescente de Bruxelas e o perigo real da moeda digital do BCE, que pode acabar com o dinheiro físico e a nossa liberdade de escolha.Pelo meio, ainda houve espaço para falar do ADN, do Chega, das fake news da imprensa e do papel das redes sociais naquilo que ela considera ser a nova frente de batalha pela liberdade de pensamento.Preparem-se para uma conversa bombástica, sem filtros, onde a ciência encontra o ceticismo, a política se cruza com a psicologia e a liberdade pessoal é o tema de fundo.Um podcast de Rodrigo Alfaiate e Francisco Mota Ferreira.
LIVE SHOW TICKETS HERE Did you know there was a time when trees never rotted? In this flaming-hot episode of The Box of Oddities, Kat and Jethro unearth the ancient world's most eco-unfriendly crisis: a time when dead trees just… stuck around, stacked up, and turned the whole planet into a pyromaniac's dream. Spoiler: it ends in fire. Lots of it. Then, travel back to 75 BCE, when a young Julius Caesar got kidnapped by pirates—and responded by being the pettiest hostage in history. Think Stockholm Syndrome in reverse. He laughed in their faces, demanded a higher ransom for himself, and then… well, let's just say things didn't end well for the pirates. From prehistoric firestorms to petty Roman revenge fantasies, this episode dives deep into the hilariously weird corners of science and history. Learn more about your ad choices.

In 743 BCE, Tiglath-Pileser III—known in the Bible as Pul—led the Assyrian Empire into its most powerful and centralized form. This episode of Oldest Stories chronicles the dramatic military and political resurgence of Neo-Assyria as it faced two major threats: the rising Urartian kingdom of Biainilli to the north and the rebellious patchwork of Neo-Hittite and Aramean states in Syria. With detailed narrative drawn from Assyrian royal inscriptions and biblical texts, we explore Tiglath-Pileser's sweeping campaigns across Kummuhu, Arpad, Ulluba, and the Levant, showcasing how the king combined strategic force marches, sophisticated provincial integration, and unprecedented use of eunuch governors to stabilize and expand imperial rule. From the siege of Arpad to the subjugation of Tyre, Israel, and Simirra, the episode reveals how Assyria subdued the ancient Near East through a fusion of administrative innovation and battlefield supremacy. This pivotal moment in Iron Age history marks the beginning of Assyria's true imperial age—one defined by aggressive diplomacy, relentless warfare, and the creation of a durable bureaucratic state. For listeners seeking historical insight into ancient warfare, Assyrian governance, biblical archaeology, and the real-world geopolitics behind Old Testament narratives, this is an essential deep dive into one of the greatest military campaigns of the 8th century BCE.I am also doing daily history facts again, at least until I run out of time again.

Her story has been told many times for nearly two millennia, but what is the truth behind the Celtic warrior queen who stood against Rome? Uncover the archaeology of her tribe the Iceni, from sacred sites, workshops, and homesteads. We'll explore the first contacts between Rome and Britain as early as the 2nd century BCE to Caesar's failed invasion in 54 BCE and the uneasy alliances that turned native leaders into Roman client-kings. Then we'll look at how growing disunity amongst the Celts paved the way for Emperor Claudius' invasion in 43 CE.Learn about the hoards of treasure, settlements, burials, and hillforts found across England and what they can tell us about the world Boudica was born into at a time of rapid social, economic, and political change.TranscriptsFor transcripts of this episode head over to: https://archpodnet.com/tpm/17LinksSee photos related to episode topics on InstagramLoving the macabre lore?

Florence was founded in the 1st century BCE as a Roman military outpost, although it came to prominence as a centre of commerce and the arts in the 14th to 16th centuries CE. The Florentine method of speech even became the Italian language. Some of the city's most famous exports are Leonardo da Vinci, Galileo, Michelangelo, and Niccolo Machiavelli, along with the Medici family. You can see the tombs of Galileo, Michelangelo, and Machiavelli in the Basilica of Santa Croce. But that's not all you can find in this Tuscan city. From the mythological scenes to statues of Roman gods present in the Uffizi, Florence has a range of odd curiosities and folk traditions that are worth seeing. Let's explore some of the stranger side of Florence in this week's episode of Fabulous Folklore!

In this study we will take a look at the miracles that Yahweh performed on the Egyptians, when Israel was held in bondage, during this period in Exodus. We will see that those miracles were against the Egyptian deities or gods that they worshipped.The story of Moses is not just the story of the freedom of a group of slaves from Egypt in the second millennium BCE. It is the blueprint of the Plan of Salvation of the world as seen from the structure laid down in the Bible. Moses was the prototype of the Christ or Messiah. More importantly, the nation of Israel saw Moses as a prototype and the Bible record illustrates that point. Moses said: ‘And Yahweh said unto me, they have well spoken that which they have spoken. I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee, and will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him.' (Deut. 18:17-18,).In this study I continue in chapter 7. I read from the Legends of the Old Testament, Moses before Pharaoh, I also read from THOMAS HORNS BOOK “THE GODS” Beginning with verse 14 to Chapter 10 verse 29 we have Moses and Aaron with the first nine plagues.7:14-25 First Plague ‘Water Turned to Blood' There is no warning!14 Pharaoh's heart is hardened = כבד ‘cabed', is become heavy or stupid; he receives no conviction, in spite of the clearness of the light which shines upon him. 15 Get thee unto Pharaoh in the morning =The next morning, a time in which the mind is most composed and calm, and fit to attend to what may be suggested lo, he goeth out unto the water = the river Nile, either to take his morning's walk, and to refresh himself at the waterside, as the Jerusalem Targum; and thou shall stand by the river's brink against he come = over against the brink of the river Nile, in order to meet him: and the rod which was turned to a serpent shalt thou take in thine hand = as a terror to Pharaoh,16 let = “eth” Aleph = (ox) strength, strong, power, leaderTav = (cross) sign, covenant seal, mark and crossBy placing the “eth” in front of ‘my people' this locks in the fact that it is truly Yahweh/Yahshua Messiah's Elect! There is no mistake that He wants to deliver His people out of bondage! 17 know that I am Yahweh = Pharaoh had boldly and wantonly said at his first interview with Moses, “I know not this Yahweh', verse 2. He is now told that he shall soon know the Yahweh of the Hebrews.I will smite = The may be Moses, but Aaron preformed the act at the command of Moses.and they shall be turned to blood = and if this river was their god, it would abundantly appear that the Elohim of the Hebrews was Yahweh, and above all gods, and particularly above theirs. 18 And the fish that is in the river shall die = Their element being changed, and they not able to live in any other but water. and the river shall stink = with the blood, into which it should be solid, and with the putrefied bodies of fishes floating in it: 21 And the fish that was in the river died = Which was a full proof that the conversion of it into blood was real; and there was blood throughout all the land of Egypt = in the river, wherever it flowed, in all its streams and channels,This is the first plague executed on the Egyptians, and a very righteous one by the law of retaliation for shedding the blood of innocent babes, through casting them into this river; and this will be the second and third vials of Elohim's wrath, which will be poured on antichrist, or mystical Egypt, who will have blood given to drink because worthy, see Rev. 16:3.

In order to prepare for episode 219 we are rereleasing all our Roman History episodes...We kick off our special Rome series with the legendary origins of the Eternal City—Romulus, Remus, and all the myth-soaked drama that follows. From wolves and war to kings and augurs, we trace the early stories and semi-historical shadows of Rome's first rulers, leading up to the reign of Tarquinius Priscus around 590 BCE. Dan leads the way (with great enthusiasm), and this episode sets the stage for everything that follows—from monarchy to Republic, and from myth to history.If you like what we do you can support the Fan of History project on https://www.patreon.com/fanofhistoryKings of Rome, Romulus, Servius Tullius, Numa Pompilius, Tullus Hostilius, Ancus MarciusContact information: http://facebook.com/fanofhistoryE-mail: zimwaypodcast@gmail.comhttps://twitter.com/danhorninghttps://www.instagram.com/dan_horning/Music: “Tudor Theme” by urmymuse.

We'd love to hear from you about this episode.The written word has played a significant role in human growth and development. The first written language is believed to have emerged in Mesopotamia (present-day Iraq) around 3200 BCE, serving as a form of record-keeping. Writing continues to be crucial for societies and individuals, as a foundational source of communicating ideas and feelings.Writing poetry has always been important because it offers a unique way to explore complex ideas, express difficult emotions, and form deeper connections with others. It has been shown to enhance literacy skills, foster empathy, and allow students a sense of self-expression and reflection. The written word is one of the most fundamental social and technological advancements that have shaped our world. It is essential to recognize those who have learned to utilize it in ways that support the growth and development of others. Welcome to Episode Sixty-Six of the Nature of Wellness ™️ Podcast!!!

There's a surge in cases and deaths from H5N1 bird flu in Cambodia - we hear what's the driver and how concerned we should be. Erik Karlsson, Head of Virology at the Pasteur Institute in Phnom Penh and director of the WHO's H5 Reference Laboratory has been watching the uptick.An interstellar interloper has been spotted entering our solar system. Most likely a comet, and possibly visible in the sky, it's just the third such visitor we've ever seen. Josep Trigo of Spain's Institute of Space Sciences (CSIC) and the Catalan Institute for Space Studies is one of many astronomers keeping his eye out.DNA from an ancient Egyptian buried in cave 2,500 BCE, the oldest to date, tell a tale of travelling ancestors, according to research led by Adeline Morez of Liverpool John Moore's University and published in Nature.Also, Corey Allard of Harvard university has been looking at a particular type of sea slug. Published in the journal Cell, the work has been trying to work out how these slugs effectively nurture and manage stolen chloroplasts – stolen from ingested plant cells - within their own bodies. Artfully, they may use these “Kleptoplasts” to dodge periods of food shortage.

Plato (Πλάτων) (c. 428 BCE - c. 347 BCE)Translated by Ioannes Zervos (1875 - 1943)ο Μενέξενος θαυμάσιον σατυρικόν κομψοτέχνημα του Πλάτωνος — μία ειρωνική σάτυρα και σατυρική ειρωνεία κατά των ρητόρων εκείνης της εποχής και γενικώτερα κατά της ρητορείας μέσα εις την οποίαν εκολυμβούσαν τότε οι Αθηναίοι όλοι, μορφωμένοι και αμόρφωτοι, πολιτικοί και λαός. Εις την ακμήν της εποχής αυτής των λόγων είχεν επιστρέψει το 389 ο Πλάτων εις τας Αθήνας, ξενιτεμμένος πριν δέκα χρόνους, αφ' όταν δηλαδή έφυγεν από τας Αθήνας αγανακτημένος και θλιμμένος διά τον τραγικόν θάνατον του Σωκράτη. Και βλέποντας τώρα ταθηναϊκά πράγματα με την ώριμον, ποικίλην δε σοφίαν του και με την γενικήν, πολύτροπον δε πείραν του αισθάνθη αγανάκτησιν και παρωξύνθη εις επίκρισιν. Έπειτα — και τούτο είναι πάντοτε ιδιάζουσα ροπή των υπερόχων — η αγανάκτησις εξετυλίχθη εις ειρωνείαν καλλιτεχνικήν και λεπτοτάτην. Αργότερα η μεγάλη και υψηλή δημιουργικότης του εφανερώθηκεν ακέραια εις την φιλοσοφίαν και εις την καθολικήν σκέψιν με τον αυτόν διαλογικόν τύπον, αλλά ποιητικώτερα και με ολιγώτερον συζητητικόν τρόπονΗ ονομασία του διαλόγου — όπως συνήθως έγινε διά τους περισσοτέρους Πλατωνικούς διαλόγους — εδόθη από τον συνομιλητήν του Σωκράτους Μενεξένου, που υπήρξεν ένας των νεωτέρων μαθητών του Σωκράτη, νέος από ευγενικήν οικογένειαν και ωραίος, εξάδελφος του Κτησίππου του Παιονέως. Ο λαμπρός και ωραίος επίσης Κτήσιππος φαίνεται να επρωτοδίδαξε τον Μενέξενον την σοφιστικήν τέχνην, εις την οποίαν και διεκρίθη. - Summary by ZERVOS IOANNIS
Kissing on the lips feels so natural… and yet, it's far from universal. In some cultures, romantic kissing doesn't even exist! So why, in our society, has kissing become such a strong symbol of love and passion? It turns out, kissing might be one of the oldest gestures in the human playbook. For decades, historians pointed to ancient Indian texts, the Vedas, written around 1500 BCE, as the earliest written references to kissing. So where does kissing come from? Does kissing have anything to do with smell or taste? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

Our Greek Theatre summer continues with the last of the great tragedians, Euripides (c. 480–406 BCE). While less successful than Aeschylus and Sophocles when it came to winning prizes at the Athenian Dionysia, Euripides was more popular in his day—according to the historian Thucydides, Athenian prisoners of war were able to win favors, and sometimes freedom, by reciting his lines to their captors. He has also left us the largest body of work of any of the other tragedy writers. He is known for a more cynical outlook on religion, for his naturalistic dialogue, and as a writer of women with deep characters. This week, we look at The Trojan Women, his portrait of Hecuba and the other royal women of Troy as they wait to learn their fates following the sack of the city by the Greeks—a sequel to the events of Homer's Iliad.Want to read a transcript of this episode?

I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee, and will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him.' (Deut. 18:17-18,).In this study I continue in chapter 7. In verses 8- 13 we have Moses, Aaron and the Magicians9 When Pharaoh shall speak unto you, etc. = The king would naturally demand some evidence of their having been sent from Elohim; and as he would expect the ministers of his own gods to do the same worksTake = “lâqach” “law-kakh'” “lamed-quph-chet” “Aleph-Tav”lamed – (shepherd staff), teach, yoke, to bindquph = (sun on the horizon) condense, circle, timeChet = (tent wall) outside, divide, halfAleph = (ox) strength, strong, power, leaderTav = (cross) sign, covenant seal, mark and crossAaron you take that shepherds staff (symbolic of Yahshua Messiah) for the time is coming that I Yahweh/Yahshua Messiah will divide MY Elect from this bondage!10 cast down = “shâlak” “shaw-lak'” “shin-lamed-kaph” “Aleph-Tav”Shin = (two front teeth) sharp, press, eat, twolamed – (shepherd staff), teach, yoke, to bindKaph = (open palm) bend, open, allow, tameAleph = (ox) strength, strong, power, leaderTav = (cross) sign, covenant seal, mark and crossThis wasn't any ordinary wooden shepherd's staff, but the true Shepherd Himself, Yahshua Messiah that took on the bondage of Satan and allowed that staff to become a serpent showing Pharaoh that He was the creator of all things!It became a serpent = תנין tannin. What kind of a serpent is here intended remains a debate among the so-called scholars. From the manner in which the original word is used in Psa. 74:13; Isa. 27:1; 51:9; Job 7:12; some very large creature, is probably meant; some have thought that the crocodile, a well-known Egyptian animal, is here intended.If we assume that the rod was changed into a crocodile, then we ask why a crocodile?The ancient goddess of war, Neith, was revered as the goddess of wisdom. At different periods she was identified with Athena, noted as the sister of Isis, and named the protector of Duamutef. Neith was the mother of Sobek, known as the crocodile god.11 wise men = wizards, who possessed a knowledge of many secrets of nature which were unknown to the people.Sorcerers = men who are adept in altering the external appearance of things by their artsMagicians = ‘sacred scribes', versed in magic lore and practice; jugglers of marvelous skillSecret arts = their spells and sleight-of-hand.

Horace, born Quintus Horatius Flaccus in 65 BCE in Venusia, was one of ancient Rome's most celebrated lyric poets. He lived through the turbulent transition from Republic to Empire and became closely associated with Emperor Augustus's regime. Though he once fought on the losing side at the Battle of Philippi against Caesar, he later gained favour through the patronage of Maecenas, a key advisor to Augustus. Horace is best known for his Odes, Satires, Epistles, and the Ars Poetica—works that blend wit, philosophical reflection, and poetic elegance, and so naturally he is a perfect subject for Peter Stothard, historian and author.

L'euro numérique est un projet de monnaie numérique de banque centrale (CBDC) porté par la Banque centrale européenne. Il permettrait aux citoyens de la zone euro de disposer d'un moyen de paiement numérique, gratuit, sécurisé, instantané, et utilisable même hors ligne, tout en étant garanti par la BCE, comme les billets et pièces actuels.Ce projet vise à compléter les moyens de paiement privés, à préserver la souveraineté monétaire européenne face à la montée des cryptomonnaies et des stablecoins (notamment américains), et à offrir une forme publique de monnaie adaptée à l'ère numérique. Après une phase d'étude entre 2021 et 2023, la BCE est désormais dans une phase de préparation technique et réglementaire. La décision de lancer ou non l'euro numérique sera prise en octobre 2025, pour une mise en circulation possible à partir de 2027.Mais une étude publiée en juin 2025 par le cabinet PwC vient jeter une ombre sur ce calendrier. Commandée par trois grandes fédérations bancaires européennes, l'étude révèle que les coûts d'adaptation pour les banques seraient très élevés : environ 2 milliards d'euros pour un échantillon de 19 banques, et jusqu'à 30 milliards pour l'ensemble de la zone euro si certaines fonctionnalités ambitieuses sont mises en œuvre (paiement hors ligne, comptes multiples, interopérabilité avec les acteurs privés). La grande majorité des coûts (75 %) concernerait des adaptations techniques (nouvelles applis, interfaces, infrastructures).Plus inquiétant encore, près de 46 % des experts bancaires spécialisés seraient mobilisés chaque année sur ce projet, au détriment de la capacité d'innovation des établissements. Ce coût humain et organisationnel s'ajoute aux autres points de friction déjà identifiés : crainte d'une désintermédiation bancaire (si les citoyens transfèrent trop d'argent vers leur portefeuille numérique BCE), débats sur la protection de la vie privée, et incertitudes réglementaires au sein de l'Union européenne.Malgré ces obstacles, la BCE et la Commission européenne restent déterminées, notamment face aux ambitions américaines en matière de stablecoins. Elles voient dans l'euro numérique un outil stratégique pour préserver l'indépendance monétaire de la zone euro.Conclusion :Le lancement de l'euro numérique reste probable, mais pas encore assuré. Tout dépendra de l'équilibre politique trouvé d'ici octobre 2025 entre les ambitions institutionnelles européennes et les contraintes techniques et économiques des banques. À court terme, le projet reste fragile. À moyen terme, cependant, la digitalisation mondiale des paiements rend son adoption de plus en plus inévitable. Hébergé par Acast.

3500 BCE - 1600 CE - Uncover the ancient earthworks of North America's Pre-Columbian Mound Builders—exploring ritual, trade, astronomy, and society from the Adena to the Mississippians, in this immersive historical journey.
This episode is the essential starting point for understanding the Neo-Assyrian Empire. In 745 BCE, a relatively obscure man named Tukulti-Apil-Esharra—better known by his biblical name Tiglath-Pileser III—seized the Assyrian throne in what would become one of the most transformative moments in ancient Near Eastern history. This episode explores how Tiglath-Pileser's revolutionary reforms reshaped the military, administration, and ideology of the Assyrian state, laying the foundation for the largest and most durable empire the world had yet seen.We delve into the political collapse that preceded his rise, the obscure origins and contested legitimacy of Tiglath-Pileser himself, and the sudden consolidation of power that enabled him to bring Assyria back from the brink of fragmentation. We then examine his first campaigns in Babylonia, where Assyrian intervention brought order to the chaos left by years of Chaldean misrule, and consider the complex relationship between Assyria and Babylon—one rooted in reverence, rivalry, and shared civilization.This episode also introduces the deep structural changes Tiglath-Pileser initiated: the expansion of a professional standing army, the shift from vassalage to direct imperial administration, and the rising use of Aramaic alongside Akkadian. We explore the rise of eunuch officials, the growing importance of taxation within the core territory of Mat Assur, and how these policies would strengthen the empire in the short term while sowing the seeds of long-term resentment.From palace coups to temple politics, from highland conquests in the Zagros Mountains to the quiet rise of Nabonassar in Babylon, this episode places 745 BCE at the center of a vast historical transformation. It is a turning point not only in Assyrian history, but in the history of the entire ancient Near East, with consequences that would echo into the rise of the Babylonians, Persians, and Greeks. For students of ancient history, biblical history, Assyriology, and the origins of empire, this episode provides a detailed and foundational account of the birth of the Neo-Assyrian world order.I am also doing daily history facts again, at least until I run out of time again.

This is the eighth and final class in the second series studying the Book of the prophet Amos. This session focuses on Amos Chapter 9. Amos was active in the mid-eighth century BCE (ca. 750 BCE). He lived in the kingdom of Judah, in a town called Tekoa, some ten miles south of Jerusalem. Although he was from the Southern Kingdom, his prophecies focused on Israel, the Northern Kingdom. Unlike many of the other prophets, his primary charges against Israel dealt with injustice and immorality. Paganism, for Amos, was a secondary issue. Amos was a master of rhetorical argument, and his powerful use of metaphors is classical. The class took place via Zoom on June 24, 2025 Special Guest: Rabbi Emeritus Joel Rembaum.

L'escalation della crisi in Medio Oriente tra Israele, Iran e Stati Uniti potrebbe avere effetti devastanti sullo Stretto di Hormuz, uno snodo strategico da cui transita circa un terzo del petrolio mondiale. Il Parlamento iraniano ha approvato la chiusura dello stretto, ma la decisione finale spetta al Consiglio supremo di Sicurezza Nazionale. In caso di chiusura, il prezzo del petrolio potrebbe schizzare fino a 100 dollari al barile, con impatti pesanti sui prezzi dei carburanti in Italia. Secondo le stime del Centro di ricerca sui consumi (C.r.c.) e Assoutenti, la benzina potrebbe arrivare a costare in media 2,024 euro al litro (+402 euro annui per automobilista), mentre il gasolio salirebbe a 1,953 euro al litro (+442 euro l'anno). I rincari peserebbero su famiglie e imprese, aggravando una congiuntura già tesa. Nel frattempo, l'ex presidente USA Donald Trump ha lanciato un monito sui social: “Tenete bassi i prezzi del petrolio. Vi sto osservando”. Ne parliamo con Davide Tabarelli, presidente Nomisma Energia; Sissi Bellomo, Il Sole 24 Ore.Dazi, conflitti e caro energia: l'appello di Legacoop alla UeLegacoop lancia un appello alle istituzioni europee affinché intervengano con urgenza per evitare una guerra commerciale con gli Stati Uniti e mitigarne gli effetti già visibili sull'economia italiana. I timori riguardano in particolare i nuovi dazi annunciati da Washington su settori strategici del Made in Italy, come vino, formaggi Dop, olio d'oliva e ortofrutta, con ricadute potenzialmente gravi su export, occupazione e crescita. Il presidente di Legacoop, Simone Gamberini, chiede un'azione rapida e lungimirante per proteggere il tessuto economico e sociale italiano, oltreché la pace. A suo avviso, solo una soluzione diplomatica e negoziale potrà evitare ritorsioni commerciali dannose. Le misure protezionistiche, aggiunge Gamberini, creano instabilità in un contesto globale già fragile.La situazione si complica ulteriormente con il conflitto tra Israele e Iran, che ha fatto impennare i prezzi del petrolio, peggiorando le prospettive economiche. Nonostante alcuni segnali positivi nei servizi, i dazi e l'incertezza stanno minando la fiducia e ostacolando consumi e investimenti. La svalutazione del dollaro, da un lato, amplifica l'effetto dei dazi, ma dall'altro potrebbe favorire un taglio dei tassi da parte della BCE. Da qui la richiesta di una politica monetaria espansiva per sostenere la crescita nell'Eurozona. Gamberini evidenzia infine la fragilità del welfare italiano: l'intervento pubblico in ambito sociale e sanitario è sottofinanziato e rischia di essere sostituito da dinamiche da “warfare”. Nonostante le prospettive di crescita nei settori sociale, sanitario e agroalimentare, il sentiment tra le cooperative è negativo. “Le cooperative non delocalizzano: è il momento di agire per tutelare economia e pace”, conclude.

It's the end of everything! Welcome back to Part 2 of our season finale featuring Dr. Charles Liu, co-host Allen Liu, and our guest archaeology expert and author, Hannah Liu, MEd. (If you haven't caught up to Part 1, we highly recommend you do before embarking on the next leg of this journey! Listen here or wherever you get your podcasts!) We pick right up where we left off, with the next question from our audience. Daniela asks, “If a black hole hits the Sun, will Earth be destroyed?” Chuck explains a few ways a black hole can mess with our day, including the fact that long before any actual collision took place, the Sun would start shedding material that would destroy us. He compares that unlikely event to the actual example of cosmic destruction we're watching in NGC 4676 – aka “The Mice” – which are two galaxies swirling together in a death spiral playing out over hundreds of millions of years. Naturally, this leads Chuck to ponder what happens when civilizations fall apart here on Earth, and Hannah brings up the collapse of the Roman Empire. As she explains, “the fall of Rome happened a lot of times, and also, no time.” From 44 BCE and the assassination of Julius Caesar, to the 476 invasion and conquest of Rome by the Germanic tribes denoted by Edward Gibbon in The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, to the fact ever since nations have claimed to be the descendants or inheritors of Rome. Chuck points out the influence of Gibbon's book on Isaac Asimov's “Foundation” series, followed by a very quick romp through “Decline and Fall of America” literature including The Handmaid's Tale, A Canticle for Liebowitz, Man in the High Castle, and the zombie apocalypse tour de force, World War Z. Then it's time for another question from the audience: Michael says, “I heard that scientists brought back a dire wolf. Could they bring back dinosaurs or animals that could destroy us all?” It turns out, these resurrected animals are just gray wolves that have been engineered to have some characteristics of the extinct predator. It's still a pretty impressive feat, though, and you'll hear how they collected bits and pieces of dire wolf DNA to “resurrect them.” Allen also brings up similar modification experiments they're doing on chickens to make them more dinosaur-like. Allen points out that bioengineered germs are far more likely to cause our destruction than resurrected dinosaurs, regardless of the world envisioned in the Jurassic Park franchise. And speaking of Michael Crichton, Chuck gives us a breakdown of his sci-fi classic, The Andromeda Strain, about bacteria from space that cause a biological outbreak here on Earth. Hannah points out that historically, some of the biggest killers of human beings have been plagues. She gives us a guided tour of the bubonic plagues, from the Black Death, which may have wiped out as much as 60% of the population of Europe, to the Plague of Justinian a thousand years earlier that killed as many as 100 million people, while also name dropping the Antonine Plague and the Spanish Flu!) And that's it Season 4 of The LIUniverse. Stay tuned for Season 5 after the summer.

In this episode of Crack the Book, we take a look at Week Fourteen of Ted Gioia's Humanities Course, covering Virgil's The Aeneid (Books 1–2), Ovid's Metamorphoses (Book 1), and selections from The Portable Roman Reader. The focus is on key texts from Roman literature, their historical context, and their connections to earlier Greek works, providing an overview of their content and significance.Key Discussion Points: Virgil's The Aeneid (Robert Fagles' Translation): Written between 29–19 BCE, The Aeneid serves as Rome's foundational epic, modeled on Homer's Iliad and Odyssey. Book 1 opens with Aeneas, a Trojan survivor, shipwrecked on Carthage's shore due to Juno's interference, meeting Queen Dido, an exile from Tyre. Book 2 recounts Troy's fall, including the Trojan Horse stratagem and Aeneas' escape with his father Anchises and son Ascanius, losing his wife Creusa. The text emphasizes Aeneas' pietas (duty to gods, family, state). Divine rivalries, notably Juno's grudge from the Judgment of Paris and Venus' protection of Aeneas, drive the narrative. The Fagles translation includes maps and a glossary for accessibility. Ovid's Metamorphoses (David Raeburn's Translation): Composed around 8 CE, Metamorphoses is a 15-book poem chronicling transformations from creation to Ovid's era. Book 1 covers the creation of the cosmos from Chaos, the division into four elements (fire, water, earth, air), and humanity's decline from the Golden to Iron Age. It includes a flood narrative with Deucalion and Pyrrha and the story of Io, transformed into a cow by Jupiter to evade Juno. The Raeburn edition organizes vignettes with titled sections for clarity. The Portable Roman Reader (Basil Davenport, Ed.): Published in 1951, this anthology includes poetry from Rome's Republic, Augustan, and later Empire periods. Catullus (c. 60s–50s BCE) offers direct, personal verses, translated by Byron. Horace (65–8 BCE) writes complex, philosophical odes, less accessible due to style. Martial (c. 38–104 CE) provides epigrams on public life, including two elegies for a deceased young girl. Davenport's notes contextualize each era, and the anthology features prose by Livy, Caesar, and Tacitus for future study. Contextual Notes: The texts reflect Rome's engagement with Greek literary traditions, adapting gods' names (e.g., Hera to Juno) and themes. The course's schedule prioritizes rapid coverage to identify key works and connections.Takeaways:I loved this week so much! It felt great to come "home" to Rome. I've got specific ideas about how to approach each of these books, but in my opinion they are all worth the time for certain people. The music was gorgeous, arias and overtures from Puccini and Verdi! You must listen...check out my link below.
