Fáilte ar ais chuig eagrán nua de Ar An Lá Seo ar an 29ú lá de mí Lúnasa, liomsa Lauren Ní Loingsigh. I 1975 fuair beirt bhás agus ghortaíodh 20 duine nuair a chuaigh bus isteach chuig carr. I 1981 tháinig sé amach go raibh RTÉ ag iarradh an táille don cheadúnaigh teilifís a bhailiú. I 1997 tháinig an nuacht amach gur fhuair siad bóthar 7 méadar déanta amach as adhmad sa chontae agus cheap siad go raibh sé níos mó ná 3,000 bhliain d'aois. Fuair siad an bóthar I Rathcabbin agus bhí sé déanta amach as dair Éireannach agus dúirt siad go raibh an dáta ar de 148BC agus 1,500BC. Dúirt siad gur thógáil siad an bhótair sa Chré-Umhaois. I 2004 rinne Lee Auctioneers san Aonach Urmhumhan díolachán tábhachtach de trí phlota de thalamh ag Óstán Abbey Court. Leis an chostas de 650 míle euro do 40 acra bhí a lán tairiscint ann. Sin Soft Cell le Tainted Love – an t-amhrán is mó ar an lá seo I 1981. Ag lean ar aghaidh le nuacht cheoil ar an lá seo I 2019 tháinig Noel Gallagher amach ag rá go raibh sé ag iarradh achainí a thosú chun briseadh suas The Foo Fighters. I 2021 fuair drumadóir Ron Bush bás de bharr ailse ag aois 79. Agus ar deireadh breithlá daoine cáiliúla ar an lá seo rugadh amhránaí Michael Jackson I Meiriceá I 1959 agus rugadh amhránaí Liam Payne sa Bhreatain ar an lá seo I 1993 agus seo chuid de amhrán. Beidh mé ar ais libh an tseachtain seo chugainn le heagrán nua de Ar An Lá Seo. Welcome back to another edition of Ar An Lá Seo on the 29th of August, with me Lauren Ní Loingsigh 1975: 2 people died and 20 were injured after a coach colided with a car. 1981: It was reported that RTE stated that they wanted to take over the TV License Fee Collecting. 1997 - A 'highly significant' archaeological find was made in a North Tipperary bog, with the discovery of a 7m .timber roadway which could prove to be up to 3.500 years old. The stretch of road unearthed in Sharragh Bog, Rathcabbin which comprises of Irish oak split planks laid on round wood runners is said to date from the period between 148 B.C. and 1500 B.C. The construction which could date from as far back as the Bronze Age is 2.5m wide.  2004 -Lee Auctioneers ,Nenagh, conducted the important sale of three plots of land at the Abbey Court Hotel .Achieving a record price €650,000 for c. 40 acres; in Kildangan ,brisk bidding reflected the good quality: of land and the number of bidders present.  That was Soft Cell with Tainted Love – the biggest song on this day in 1981 Onto music news on this day In 2019 Noel Gallagher said he wanted to start a petition to break the Foo Fighters up. 2021 American drummer Ron Bushy died following a battle with cancer, at the age of 79. And finally celebrity birthdays on this day – singer Michael Jackson was born in America in 1958 and singer Liam Payne was born in the UK on this day in 1993 and this is one of his songs. I'll be back with you next week with another edition of Ar An Lá Seo.

There you will find standing stones. Not one or two, but many laid out like a memory. Kilmartin Glen is considered to have one of the most important concentrations of Neolithic and Bronze Age remains in Scotland. There are more than 350 ancient monuments within a six mile radius of the village, with 150 of them being prehistoric. In the glen that we visited, we got a nice sized taste of those monuments. If you stand still long enough, you might be able to look back into time, like the TARDIS from Doctor Who. But these time machines don't fly, they stand cold and alone, watching everything, never blinking. Count the stones in the cover image and let prime numbers guide you to unlock your first Quest. These stones watched lovers part and children grow old. And in their stillness, they remember everything. They carry the weight of forgotten voyages. They are beautiful. And they are a little bit sad. That sadness seemed appropriate in 2022 when I led my Celtic Invasion of Scotland to Kilmartin Glen. The group was shrinking due to Covid. The feeling as people left the group. This song, ‘Blink,' was born of that fear, the fear of blinking and losing something beautiful. Of falling in love with someone so radiant, so unique, that you fear time itself. But also… It's a love song for the moment. It's for every second you choose to stay present, even when it hurts. Learn more about my song #277 “Blink”. Unlock the secret page. 22:31 - Marc Gunn “Blink” from Come Adventure With Me That's the end of today's tale, but the song lives on. Come back next week as we sail the Calf of Man through loss and resilience. Until then, don't blink. Don't look away. And may your memories always sing. 26:04 - CREDITS Thanks for listening to Quest & Chorus. This episode was edited by Mitchell Petersen.

You probably know the Ancient Greek myth of Theseus and the Minotaur, who lives in a labyrinth under Knossos on the island of Crete - was there ever really a labyrinth, or a King Minos? Dan is joined by the University of Oxford's Steve Kershaw to unravel the mysteries of Knossos, trace the rise of the Minoan civilisation during the Bronze Age, its collapse and the controversial excavation and reconstruction by the eccentric archaeologist Arthur Evans in the early 20th century.This is part of our 'Dan Snow's Guide to Europe' summer travel series.Produced by Mariana Des Forges and edited by Dougal PatmoreJoin Dan and the team for a special LIVE recording of Dan Snow's History Hit on Friday, 12th September 2025!

The great river Euphrates. First named in Genesis as one of Eden's rivers, set by God in Genesis 15:18 as the northeastern boundary of the promised land is shrinking to record lows. As its waters recede, the river is surrendering secrets long buried beneath its flow: ancient artifacts, sacred symbols, and the remains of civilizations that once ruled the biblical world. These are not merely historical curiosities, they are physical evidence that confirms the Bible's truth and provides living signposts pointing toward prophecies yet to be fulfilled. In this gripping episode of The Last Christian Radio Show, we take you to the river's edge where Christian grave markers carved with crosses rise from cracked earth, their inscriptions faint but still bearing witness to the faith of those who stood for Christ centuries ago. We walk through the ruins of ancient house-churches, where fragments of painted plaster still display scenes of Jesus healing and baptizing, and we uncover Hebrew-inscribed stones from synagogues that once served Jewish communities in exile along this mighty waterway. We'll examine clay seals imprinted with biblical-era symbols, Bronze Age cylinder seals depicting idol worship and trade caravans from Abraham's world, corroded arrowheads from armies that once marched toward Israel, and massive stone mooring rings that tethered ships to the empires of Assyria, Babylon, and Rome. We'll even look at everyday items such as loom weights, storage jars, and fishing hooks. Silent remnants of a world that believed it would last forever, just as many today assume the present age will continue unchanged. Every artifact is more than an object, it is a message. Together, they tell a story of God's faithfulness to His promises, His judgments on nations, and His sovereign control over history. And as we connect these discoveries to Revelation 16:12, we will see how the drying of this God-appointed river is setting the stage for the final movements of prophecy. The Euphrates' waters are retreating. History is emerging from the mud. Prophecy is coming into sharper focus. And the call to prepare for the soon return of Jesus Christ has never been more urgent.

The Bronze Age was a turning point in human history, when people began using bronze tools and weapons, leading to advances in farming, trade, and city building. This episode explores how new technologies transformed societies across the world and gave rise to early civilizations.

Who was Ramses II, and why does his reign still fascinate historians today? In this deep dive, we explore the world of ancient Egypt during Ramses' time — from the topography of his empire to the cultural, political, and technological shifts of the Mediterranean. We'll uncover the role of the Phoenicians, the collapse of the Bronze Age, the winners and losers of this turbulent period, the great temples and carvings of Ramses II, the perception of pyramids in his era, and whether biblical accounts align with history. We'll also examine Egypt's economic systems, ancient technology, and the everyday lives of its people — from letters and myths to famine, cannibalism, and climate change.WELCOME TO CAMP!

The government's announced a trade deal with Egypt which it says could be worth £250 million in dairy exports ports over the next five years. As part of the deal, new regulations around the Halal certification of dairy produce going into Egypt will not be applied, avoiding what would have been a costly trade barrier. Finding a market for every part of an animal, not just the popular cuts like bacon and steak, is known as carcass balance and it's something we're talking about all this week. We visit Redhill Farm in Lincolnshire to see how they find out how they manage it. The auroch is regarded as the wild ancestor of the modern day cattle we see on farms today. They were huge and used to roam Europe through to the Bronze age. Excavations in the Yorkshire Dales have unearthed what may be the last recorded aurochs in the UK. We speak to farmer Tom Lord who lives in the area and is a passionate archaeologist. He's often called on to advise potholers who find auroch bones when they're exploring underground caves.

Recorded live at Terrificon, this conversation brings together three of Marvel's most influential Bronze Age creators—Jim Starlin, Steve Englehart, and Al Milgrom—to share stories from the wild, experimental days of the 1970s comic book industry.From Starlin's cosmic epics with Captain Marvel and Warlock, to Englehart's politically charged Captain America and groundbreaking Avengers and Batman runs, to Milgrom's steady hand as artist, inker, and editor across Captain Marvel, and Avengers—this panel is packed with history, humor, and behind-the-scenes tales of working at Marvel during a time of radical creativity. Whether it's the birth of Thanos, the rise of long-form continuity, the shaping of Marvel's cosmic landscape, or the day-to-day chaos of 1970s bullpen life, this discussion is a must for fans of comics history.

Not since the Greco-Roman period has sculpture mattered this much in sports. And Jerry Saltz — the Pulitzer Prize-winning senior art critic for New York magazine — has zero idea who Dwyane Wade is. Which is precisely why we asked the erstwhile Jewish Cowboy (we'll explain) to evaluate our athletic Bronze Age, from Michael Jordan to Cristiano Ronaldo. And that's before we get to "I Can't Believe It's Not Pablo (Butter on Gasbag, 2024)." Plus: the conscious uncoupling of art and money, sex workers in Jacksonville, how to make an enemy of envy, and why you can't be a vampire alone.

In this king-sized episode of Spectacular Slovakia, host Oscar Brophy is joined by historian Juraj Poláček to delve into the rich history of Slovakia's medieval castles – tracing their development from the Bronze Age to the modern era. Poláček explains how early wooden fortifications evolved into stone strongholds following the 13th-century Mongol invasion, with Slovakia's strategic position demanding increasingly robust defences. Highlights include Trenčín Castle, with its 16th-century bastion, and the ruins of Spiš Castle – a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This episode is a must-listen for history enthusiasts and travellers keen to discover these enduring symbols of the nation's past.

Dr. Murray Cook is an archaeologist, author, co-founder and co-director of a field school, and Honorable Research Fellow at Stirling University. His research focuses on the area around Stirling, Scotland and its expansive history.There are Neolithic stone circles, Bronze Age burials, late Iron Age sites that offer a glimpse of life just before the Romans arrived, and artifacts that mark the Roman presence itself.Stirling Castle, built in the 12th century, became the most used royal residence in Scotland for centuries. It is the site where William Wallace defeated the English at the Battle of Stirling Bridge, and where Robert the Bruce claimed victory at the Battle of Bannockburn during the First War of Scottish Independence. The royals of the House of Stewart lived here for generations, including Mary, Queen of Scots. Nearby lie medieval and historic cemeteries with burials of both the famous and the infamous.In this episode, Dr. Cook discusses his research that spans all of Stirling's history, the benefits of slowing archaeological research down to focus on a single area, the importance of telling the stories of humanity's shared past, and the vital role of public outreach in securing the future of archaeology.TranscriptsFor transcripts of this episode head over to: https://archpodnet.com/tpm/19LinksStirling Archaeology SubstackMurray Cook's Author Bio and Links to BooksRampart Scotland Field School - Open to All!See photos related to episode topics on InstagramLoving the macabre lore?

Thanks for listening.

Once again we see that scripture testifies of the Messiah, Yeshua HaMashiach, Jesus the Christ.  Just as He taught in John 5:39 said between 24-30 A.D. when all they had was the Hebrew Scriptures or the Old Testament.  Starting in lesson 62 (see links to Lesson 62, 63, and 64 below) we saw that Yahvay, the LORD, came to dwell WITH His people.  But, when He was here, the LORD, Jesus, came to dwell IN His people.  In Exodus God had a temporary dwelling place, a tent.  In Jesus' day it was said our human body was a TENT and Jesus came to dwell in His human body, His tent.  There are more like the Menorah is looked upon as symbolizing the LIGHT OF THE WORLD shines in the darkness of the Holy Place.  And Jesus.  He is the LIGHT OF THE WORLD and He came to shine for men caught in the darkness of sin.  The lessons 62-65 must be treated as one unit.  It is highly recommended that you listen and study with me in lesson 62 and 63 and 64 before you listen to this lesson 65.  Here are the links for 62-64. Link 62 – https://lightofmenorah.podbean.com/e/exodus-62-exod-251-8-the-waypoint-on-the-hike-through-torah/ Link 63 – https://lightofmenorah.podbean.com/e/exodus-63-exod-2510-16-the-ark-of-the-covenant/ Link 64 - https://lightofmenorah.podbean.com/e/exodus-64-exod-2510-22-the-mercy-seat-and-the-blodd-of-the-lamb/ An important earlier lesson in this study of Exodus is the podcast Bible study that shows that the Hebrews likely assimilated into the Egyptian culture.  Thus, it makes sense that Yahvay, the LORD, would use the things of Egypt, things the Hebrews, His beloved chosen people, were familiar with.  He was trying to reach them in the Torah, His instruction, and NOT us.  It was written to them THEN.  So, here's the link to that key podcast study - https://lightofmenorah.podbean.com/e/the-gospel-according-to-moses-lesson-4-part-2-exod-211-25/ Here's a layout of the Mishkan HaKodesh Eloheem or the Holy Dwelling Tent of God commonly known from Latin as the Tabernacle (tent).  It is public domain found at Wikimedia. You can great a great tour (video) of the entire Holy Tent of Yahvay, the LORD, at the link below.  The video link is in the upper right. Link - https://www.freebibleimages.org/illustrations/bs-tabernacle-walkthrough/ In this Bible study podcast I mentioned two articles I found related to the rituals of the Egyptian priest each morning.  They would prepare a large breakfast for the god of the Temple.  The meal was fruit, veggies, beer, meats, bread, and wine.  For the Hebrews coming out of Egypt when they see the Table of the Bread of the Presence it is likely that they thought of this connection to Egypt.  See the articles below. In my research I did a search of the phrase “Egyptian priests work in secret.” The search resulted in this “AI” article below. It's generally accepted that ancient Egyptian priests did work in secret, particularly in certain aspects of their duties and knowledge. Here's why: Guardians of Sacred Knowledge: Priests were seen as guardians of secrets given by the gods, particularly in the realm of magic (Heka). Restricted Temple Access: Only priests were allowed into the innermost sanctuaries of the temples, where the cult statues of the deities resided. These inner rooms were considered sacred spaces, and the general public was barred from them. Initiation Rites: Initiation into the priesthood often involved sacred and secretive rituals, including trials and tests of knowledge. These rites aimed to transform the initiate, moving them from one state of being to another. Preservation of Knowledge: Temple libraries, known as "House of Life," were repositories of ancient religious, medical, and astronomical texts. These texts were preserved and transmitted through generations of priests, suggesting a guarded transmission of knowledge. Funerary Practices: Specific funerary texts, such as the Pyramid Texts and the Book of the Dead, contained spells and incantations meant to guide the deceased in the afterlife. These texts were used by priests, indicating a certain level of specialized knowledge required for navigating the afterlife. However, it's important to note: Public Festivals: While daily temple rituals were restricted, priests did participate in public religious festivals where the image of the god was carried outside the temple, allowing the public to interact with the deity. Role of Pharaoh: The Pharaoh was considered the ultimate intermediary between the gods and the people, and priests acted under the Pharaoh's overarching control, though they had their own specialized roles. In conclusion, ancient Egyptian priests maintained a degree of secrecy, especially in their access to sacred knowledge and the performance of certain rituals within the temples. This secrecy stemmed from their role as mediators between the divine and human realms, and their responsibility in preserving and transmitting the sacred traditions and beliefs of ancient Egypt.  Please check out the links below to further your study on the Egyptian priests. https://www.egypttoursportal.com/en-us/blog/ancient-egyptian-civilization/ancient-egyptian-priests/ https://www.thetorah.com/article/the-egyptian-magicians https://www.bbc.co.uk/history/ancient/egyptians/magic_01.shtml https://www.albanyinstitute.org/ancient-egyptian-art-and-culture?file=tl_files/pages/education/lesson_plans/Ancient%20Egypt/PriestsinAncientEgypt.pdf&cid=3221 It is proven archaeologically and from the ancient literature that no one knows what the original Menorah looked like.  Today orthodox rabbis debate as to the details of the Menorah.  One verse that we emphasized was Exod. 25:40, “"See that you make them after the pattern for them, which was shown to you on the mountain.” (Exo 25:40)  So many today say Moses was in Heaven when the LORD Yahvay showed Moses the various aspects of the Mishkan HaKodesh.  But, that is not what the Bible says.  Moses is on the mountain and was not taken from earth.  Perhaps the LORD showed Moses a plant that is common throughout the Middle East and in the Sinai.  It is called today “SALVIA PALAESTINA” and it is amazing that it looks like the Menorah.  Could it be that God shows Moses this plant on the mountain in the Sinai (could be that one was growing close to the area where Moses and Yahvay, the LORD, met.  See the picture below of THE MENORAH PLANT. A scholarly article that shows this is possible can be found at the link below.  It was written by Dr. Martin Gruber, professor emeritus at Ben Gurion University of the Negev. LINK - https://janes.scholasticahq.com/article/55699-the-salvia-plant-and-the-menorah-revisited/attachment/120208.pdf Finally, it was suggested in the Jerusalem Publication Society Exodus commentary by Dr. Nahum Sarna, that the art work of the Menorah in Exodus 25 is clearly associated with the artwork of the ancient Egyptians dated to the Late Bronze Age.  See the picture below for a chart showing the Bronze Age and its divisions and dates for the early, middle and late bronze age.  This picture is from Wikimedia and is public domain.

Este mes nos sumergimos en la llamada Bronze Age, con un clásico de Spider-Man... ¡La Noche En Que Murió Gwen Stacy! Tenemos una historia dramática, de la mano de Gerry Conway, jovencísimo guionista que tomó las riendas Stan Lee del título arácnido (vamos a ser sinceros, Stan las tenía agarradas bien flojitas), junto con el artista sucesor de Steve Ditko, John Romita padre en tintas y dirección artística, y el también legendario Gil Kane en lápices. La maldad y locura del Green Goblin, la inocencia de Gwen, y el dolor de un Peter Parker que ya no será el mismo.

In Part 4 of our conversation with comics veteran Al Milgrom, we spotlight his collaboration with Jim Shooter on Secret Wars II—digging into how the massive crossover was shaped behind the scenes, what it was like coordinating with dozens of creators, and how editorial challenges turned into creative opportunities.We also go inside Al's time as editor of Marvel Fanfare, a title often misunderstood as a dumping ground for inventory stories. Al sets the record straight—it was actually a creative playground, where artists and writers could experiment with format, storytelling, and page layout. From unique one-shots to prestige-style presentations, Fanfare gave pros like Barry Windsor-Smith and Michael Golden the freedom to think outside the box and produce work that wouldn't fit the typical monthly grind.Plus: more classic Marvel Bullpen stories—from prank wars and personality clashes to the raw energy of a company bursting with creativity in the Bronze Age.

Al shares shocking behind-the-scenes stories about some of the biggest names from the Golden, Silver, and Bronze Ages of comics—warts and all. From ego clashes to editorial chaos, you'll hear what really went down in the bullpen.We also detour into the strange world of obscure 1950s and 60s comic book publishers—including those that reprinted Golden Age stories with misleading new covers and numbering schemes, trying to pass them off as fresh material.

On this episode of Word Balloon, we start a 2 part talk with one of the true utility players of the Marvel Bullpen—Al Milgrom. From penciling and inking to editing and writing, Al did it all during a pivotal era at the House of Ideas.We dig into his early days at Marvel, when the bullpen was more than just a nickname—it was a real, bustling office of creative chaos. Al shares memories of hand-delivering artwork to John Romita Sr. and Virginia Romita, navigating the personality clashes of the era and working under the towering presence of Jim Shooter as Marvel evolved into a more corporate machine. We also get the inside story behind the launch of Marvel Fanfare, a passion project that let Al spotlight top-tier talent and showcase stories on high-quality paper—long before the era of prestige formats. Whether you're a fan of classic comics or just love hearing how the sausage got made in the Bronze Age, this conversation with Al Milgrom pulls no punches and delivers some terrific behind-the-scenes tales from a guy who lived it.
