Send us a textThe veil between what we see and what truly exists is thinner than most realize. When we encounter challenges, obstacles, and opposition in our lives, we often miss the deeper spiritual dimensions at play. Beyond our biology, chemistry, and physical experiences lies a reality where principalities, powers, and spiritual authorities shape what manifests in our material world.This episode explores the profound biblical truth revealed through Paul's declaration: "We wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, powers, and spiritual wickedness in high places." Through Jacob's transformative encounter with the divine—wrestling until daybreak and refusing to let go without receiving a blessing—we discover a pattern for enforcing spiritual authority in our own lives. Jacob's identity shifted from supplanter to Israel ("prince with God"), establishing his place in the cosmic order and creating a spiritual lineage that would shape history.The angelic encounter described in Daniel 10 further illuminates how territorial spiritual authorities influence nations, politics, and world events. The "prince of Persia" who withstood Gabriel for twenty-one days reveals an invisible realm where spiritual beings carry out purposes in the natural, moral, and political worlds. As believers, we fight from a position of victory, not defeat. The Prince of Peace dwells within us, making us crown princes with authority to enforce heavenly realities in earthly situations. The signet ring is with us—the question is whether we'll use it to establish God's will "on earth as it is in heaven."Ready to perceive beyond the veil and live from your position of spiritual authority?

It is said that Pheidippides, an Athenian herald, was sent to Sparta to request help when the Persians landed at Marathon, running 150 miles in just two days. After this, he then ran another 25 miles from the battlefield near the town of Marathon to Athens to announce the Greek victory over Persia in the Battle of Marathon with the word “Νενικήκαμεν”, meaning ‘We have won'. He then collapsed and died on the spot due to exhaustion. Many years later; in the town of Sheffield, we find ourselves focused on the adventures of a very unfit man trying to complete his first ever Marathon. He's only just started and already he's thinking about catching a bus… Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Are "the Don" & Bibi being less than forth-coming concerning "Debacle in the Desert Part VII"? As most of us now realize, war is the biggest racket of all! The primary purpose of the Banking Cartels is to fund all sides of every war right up until the grand finale, which the predator class is doing their darndest to bring about. Here's some food for thought that the legacy and controlled op networks may have missed. Is there a connection between Iran and ancient Atlantis? What was Persia's  influence on early America, and did Zoroaster's Gathas serve as the basis for the Declaration of Independence? Does this current regime aim to swap Iran's true birthright of an enlightened libertarianism for an elitist controlled technocracy? Moshe Daniel Block returns for a part 2 discussion that we had with him on a prior and immensely popular Alfacast. Dr. Moshe, ND, VDP, HMC, VNMI, is a naturopathic doctor, author, and innovator in mind-body medicine who graduated from the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine in 2000. He created and teaches the Vis Dialogue, a transformative mind-body healing technique that has helped thousands achieve life-changing results, and offers a full certification program in Holistic Counseling (holistic-counseling.ca). Having overcome myasthenia gravis with the medicine he practices, Dr. Moshe also provides personal healing programs for chronic illness and emotional suffering (dr-moshe.com). While this episode may lean in a bit more on geopolitics, we'll conduct our analysis in typical Alfacast fashion through an Alchemical lens. For those new to our channel, "Alchemy" is the authentic Science-based method of inquiry grounded in pragmatic application. Fundamental to this occulted methodology is the principle of transmutation, and why Man was given the responsibility to wield this natural mechanism toward the third and final Golden Age. Rudolph Steiner's "The War of All Against All" and Ahriman's involvement will receive additional attention to lend extra depth to these current events rooted in bygone civilizations and the forces now bringing world chaos to its ultimate crescendo.

Friends of the Rosary,Today, July 3, is the Feast of St. Thomas, the Apostle.Thomas, who at first did not believe, became one of the first witnesses to the faith by expressing the fervor of his regained confidence in God, seeing the Man Christ and acknowledging His divinity: "My Lord and my God.""Because you have seen Me, Thomas, you have believed?" said the Lord.Doubting Thomas' weakness of faith reveals how God permits our faults for the sake of our soul's progress, for no mortal man can see divinity.The Lord permitted the apostle to doubt after the resurrection, but He did not abandon him in doubt.It is known that St. Thomas preached the Gospel in Asia beyond the frontiers of the Roman Empire, probably in Persia and possibly as far as India.Ave Maria!Jesus, I Trust In You!Come, Holy Spirit, come!To Jesus through Mary!Here I am, Lord; I come to do your will.Please give us the grace to respond with joy!+ Mikel Amigot w/ María Blanca | RosaryNetwork.com, New YorkEnhance your faith with the new Holy Rosary University app:Apple iOS | New!

Yes, Summer is here and for many, that means a break and the chance to dig into a good book.In this special set of episodes, to run through July and August, Charlie Higson delves headfirst into some of the current crop of history books and invites the authors onto the podcast.In 1603 England was on the edge of crisis. Queen Elizabeth I had died, bringing the Tudor line to an end.Enter King James, who reached London after an unprecedented procession from Scotland. James established a new dynasty on the English throne and the first 'united' kingdom of England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales was born. The Stuarts had arrived.But first, this new 'Great Britain' had to play catch up. England was behind, but James's global ambitions began to shift the tide. Ships departed London for America, Russia, Persia, India and Japan, and as the fledgling East India Company became ever closer to the crown, the seeds of the future British Empire were sown.Professor Anna Whitelock's new book The Sun Rising: James I and the Dawn of a Global Britain tells this fascinating story and is the subject of this episode of Willy Willy Harry Stee.

TCW Podcast Episode 237 - Jordan Mechner and Price of  Persia   We continue our look at Jordan Mechner with the development of Prince of Persia. Its cinematic inspirations include Castles of Dr. Creep, the opening of Raiders of the Lost Ark, and the 1938 Robin Hood. To animate the prince, Mechner filmed his brother performing stunts, then manually painted key frames, painting his brother white and the background black to make the footage compatible with a limited digitizer. Memory constraints forced creative solutions, like XORing the prince and bit shifting him to create Shadow Man. A promising film project delayed the game's release, but Prince of Persia launched on the Apple II with groundbreaking animation. A strong Macintosh port and renewed interest following Disney's Aladdin helped turn the game into a hit across the early 1990s.   The Making of Prince of Persia: https://www.jordanmechner.com/en/books/journals/ TCW 172 - The Computer Price Wars Part 1: https://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/the-computer-price-wars-part-1/ TCW 173 - The Computer Price Wars Part 2: https://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/the-computer-wars-part-2/ TCW 174 - The Computer Price Wars Part 3: https://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/the-computer-wars-part-3/ TCW  019 - The Great Video Game Crash Part 1: https://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/the-great-video-game-crash-part-1/ TCW 020 - The Great Video Game Crash Part 2: https://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/the-great-video-game-crash-part-2/ TCW 021 - The Great Video Game Crash Part 3: https://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/the-great-video-game-crash-part-3/ TCW 071 - A Story of Brøderbund!: https://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/a-story-of%C2%A0br%C3%B8derbund/ TCW 072 - The MYSTeries of Brøderbund!: https://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/the-mysteries-of-br%C3%B8derbund/ The Castles of Dr. Creep: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mi2dvxcioBw First 10 minutes of Raiders of the Lost Ark: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mUWYmTpYdP4 The Thief of Bagdad (1924): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UTXZSVIIk-c How Prince of Persia Defeated Apple II Memory Limitations: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sw0VfmXKq54 Prince of Persia (Apple II): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JZDAPp61aak Robin Hood (1938): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=USpQGE5sVAY Prince of Persia (PC DOS): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hKQX75dBlEI Prince of Persia (Amiga): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ukSECkajKYA Prince of Persia (NES): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i6hylvkCh-8 Prince of Persia (SNES): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aZtkPZih-3s Prince of Persia (Macintosh): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zjR_AhxPnVM Prince of Persia Re-Release Box: https://bigboxcollection.com/PrinceOfPersia.3DBox   New episodes are on the 1st and 15th of every month!   TCW Email: feedback@theycreateworlds.com  Twitter: @tcwpodcast Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/theycreateworlds Alex's Video Game History Blog: http://videogamehistorian.wordpress.com Alex's book, published Dec 2019, is available at CRC Press and at major on-line retailers: http://bit.ly/TCWBOOK1     Intro Music: Josh Woodward - Airplane Mode -  Music - "Airplane Mode" by Josh Woodward.

Assalamu alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh.Rasulullah ﷺ began looking for a new base for Islam because of the intense persecution Muslims faced in Makkah. In the 10th year of prophethood, his uncle Abu Talib — the leader of Banu Hashim, the Prophet's tribe — passed away. At that time, Makkah had no judicial system: your safety depended entirely on your tribal protection. As long as your tribe protected you, no one would harm you because your tribe could avenge any harm done.When Abu Talib passed away, leadership of Banu Hashim went to Abu Lahab, who refused to protect the Prophet ﷺ. With no protection, the Prophet's life was in danger. He went to Ta'if, hoping for refuge, but the people of Ta'if rejected him. He returned to Makkah with nowhere to turn, rejected by the people on earth.So, in the 11th year of prophethood, he adopted a new strategy: during Hajj, he would go to Mina, where tribes from all over Arabia camped in tents for three or four nights. He approached them one by one, seeking a tribe that would accept Islam and provide protection.First, he approached Banu Kindah — a once-powerful tribe that had lost its influence. The Prophet saw an opportunity for Kindah to regain prominence through Islam. Kindah, however, saw it only as a political opportunity: they told the Prophet they'd support him if leadership would pass to them after his death. The Prophet ﷺ refused, saying power belongs to Allah, who grants it to whomever He wills.He then approached Banu Shaiban ibn Tha'labah. Sayyidina Abu Bakr described them as the most virtuous and intelligent tribe in Arabia. The Prophet invited them to Islam and to become a new base for Muslims. But Banu Shaiban were bound by treaties with Rome and Persia, which they feared breaking if they supported the Prophet. They asked him to give them more time. The Prophet left, having been rejected again.On his way out, he met six men — not from a large or powerful tribe, but from the Khazraj. When the Prophet asked, “Who are you?” they replied, “We are Khazraj.” The Prophet ﷺ confirmed, “Khazraj living among the Jews?” They answered yes. Unlike the powerful tribes, these six men listened attentively to the Prophet's message. They didn't accept Islam immediately but were intrigued, promising to meet him the following year.They returned to Yathrib (Medina's old name) and shared the Prophet's message with their families. The next year, 12 people from Yathrib came to pledge allegiance to the Prophet ﷺ and accepted Islam. They asked the Prophet to send a teacher, and he sent Sayyidina Mus'ab ibn Umair, who led the first da'wah mission in Yathrib.The following year, in the 13th year of prophethood, 75 people from Yathrib came to pledge allegiance to the Prophet ﷺ — most from Khazraj, some from Aus. During the pledge, someone among them said: “How can we live safely in Medina while our Prophet remains oppressed in Makkah?” They invited the Prophet ﷺ to migrate. And the rest, as we say, is history: the Prophet ﷺ began encouraging companions to migrate, and eventually, Allah granted him permission to migrate himself.My dear brothers, this story teaches us powerful lessons:First, never underestimate small numbers. When building community strength, it's logical to seek powerful allies — and we should. But never forget the power of quality over quantity. The Prophet approached the mighty Kindah and wise Shaiban but didn't dismiss the small group of six sincere Khazraj. As we build our community, don't neglect people who may not seem influential today but are sincere seekers of truth.Second, community building requires cohesive teamwork across all segments of society. During the hijrah, the Prophet ﷺ worked with:* Sayyidina Abu Bakr, representing the elders.* Youth like Abdullah ibn Abu Bakr, who delivered food.* Sayyidatuna Asma bint Abu Bakr, a young woman who gathered intelligence.* Sayyidina Ali, a young man who risked his life sleeping in the Prophet's bed.* Abdullah ibn Urayqid, a skilled non-Muslim guide who honored his trust with the Prophet.The hijrah shows that everyone — elders, youth, men, women, Muslims, and even trustworthy non-Muslims — can contribute meaningfully to a cause. We cannot afford divisions: elders must not hoard power, and youth should not sit on the sidelines criticising. Both must collaborate.Third, when the Prophet ﷺ reached Medina, the first thing he built wasn't his own house — it was a masjid. After the masjid, he demarcated an area for a market. These two pillars — spiritual strength and economic strength — must go hand in hand.Our masajid should be open, welcoming, and function as community hubs. They should host worship, education, and community activities. But we must also build our economic strength: as a minority community, politicians won't listen to us because of our numbers, so we need economic power. This requires pooling our diverse talents — from money to skills — to establish projects that empower our community.In summary, here are the three key lessons from the hijrah:* Never underestimate the potential of small, sincere groups — success doesn't rely solely on numbers.* Build cohesive communities by involving people of all backgrounds, ages, genders, and talents.* Prioritise both spiritual and economic strength; they are inseparable for a thriving community.أقول قولي هذا وأستغفر الله لي ولكم.

Is Iran (biblical Persia) preparing to fulfill its end-time role? Join Evangelical Press Association Members, David Paxton & JD Williams In this gripping episode. Tonight at 8:30pm ET/7:30 CT they explore Iran's place in Bible prophecy—past, present, and still to come—through the lens of Scripture and conservative Christian eschatology.From the Gog-Magog War of Ezekiel 38–39 to the judgments on Elam in Jeremiah 49 and Isaiah 21, Iran is clearly marked for divine attention in the last days. This episode dives deep into six major prophecies involving Iran, revealing how modern alliances with Russia, Turkey, and terror proxies like Hezbollah may be fulfilling ancient texts right before our eyes.

By Don Ward - This sermon provides an overview of Persia/Iran in prophecy. It shows the paradoxical nature of Persia's /Iran's relationship to Israel in that historically Persia favored Israel on different occasions and sadly how at the close of the ages how they seek to destroy Israel and then God's destruction

By Tim Martens - Relationship of ancient and modern Persia with the Jews.

This week on MYTH, it's off to a mysterious kingdom on the border of ancient Persia by way of Hungary.  You'll see that the right spouse makes all the difference, that almost anyone can be charmed by a purring cat, and that you should never trust a magician who lives in a cave. Then, in Gods and Monsters, a young man will try to win a princess' hand with a story of a spectacular pig. Source: Hungarian Folklore

On this episode of Michael Meade recounts a myth from ancient Persia, the name by which Iran was known for centuries. The ancient tale predates all historical hostilities and battles in the Middle East and offers surprising insights into the origins and nature of the kind of conflict that can plunge whole peoples and entire epochs into darkness. Way back at the beginning, the original clash of opposite forces and the presence of great uncertainty about the future of life entered the world together. The force of chaos and darkness attacks the principle of order and creation using the weapons of lies and aggression. However, that is not the end of the story, but rather a critical turning point in which a greater sense of consciousness and a deeper sense of wisdom can shift the balance back to the process of creation. The primary problem is that breaking the tension of opposing forces requires that the original split in life must become more conscious. No true healing unless the original split is touched. No true changes without a moment of wholeness that can offset the underlying doubts and projections of guilt and blame. No lasting treaty unless those claiming to create peace already have peace in their hearts. Only then can it be understood that the effect of an elemental opposition is to generate a deeper sense of meaning and a greater sense of understanding that does not simply stop the hostilities, but also stimulates life itself. Creation is the only outcome of conflict that can satisfy the soul.     Thank you for listening to and supporting Living Myth.

Tim and Mary Danielsen take on some headlines, hopefully before they self-destruct. Did you ever feel like you are in a fog of uncertainty because of constant media speculation? But sitting still and waiting for the headlines to come to us is just futile, and so we continue to dig and be amazed. Today we take on a land grab built into the Big Beautiful Bill. Western land is up for grabs - and more than likely designated already to big money green projects. America being what it is and has been, apart from the citified areas, we tend to think that the wide open parts should be left to the ranchers, coyote, hikers and cowpokes, but soon, depending on the outcome of this legislation, serious acreage could be handed over to renewable energy companies and foreign conglomerates. Also, we look at the Minnesota murders of State Representative Melissa Hortman, a Democrat and her husband, and injuring State Senator John A. Hoffman, also a Democrat, and his wife. Melissa Hortman was the highest-ranking Democrat in the Minnesota House. Why is this so bizarre, and will we ever be able to connect all the dots? We predict it will be looked at no further. We also explore whether or not other nations can turn around and supply Persia with nukes; EU censorship; and military contracts to use AI to fight our battles - turning suit types into occasional soldiers. Yeah, you can't make this stuff up.  Stand Up For The Truth Videos: https://rumble.com/user/CTRNOnline & https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgQQSvKiMcglId7oGc5c46A

SCRIPTURE: Nehemiah 1:4-7; 2:20; 9:1-6 SHOW NOTES: For encouragement on your spiritual journey, we invite you to visit our ministry website, Discover God's Truth, where you will find additional resources to enhance your Walk with God. An inspired leader, Nehemiah, served as King Artaxerxes' cupbearer in Persia when an envoy delivered the report of Jerusalem's distress. Nehemiah's initial response to the discouraging news about Jerusalem's condition was emotional. He then turned his face to the Lord and cried out in prayer. "When I heard this, I sat down and wept. In fact, for days I mourned, fasted, and prayed to the God of heaven. Then I said, 'O Lord, God of heaven, the great and awesome God who keeps his covenant of unfailing love with those who love him and obey his commands, listen to my prayer! Look down and see me praying night and day for your people, Israel.'” Nehemiah 1:4-6 However, the enemies surrounding Jerusalem tried to discourage, mock, and deny their right to the city. Nehemiah responded with firm confidence in the God of heaven and reported that the people in Jerusalem would start rebuilding the wall. We conclude this lesson with the prayer in Chapter Nine. This is one of the great prayers of the Old Testament. It praises God for His character and His conduct. “Stand up and praise the Lord your God, for he lives from everlasting to everlasting!”"Then they prayed: 'May your glorious name be praised! May it be exalted above all blessing and praise! You alone are the Lord. You made the skies and the heavens and all the stars. You made the earth and the seas and everything in them. You preserve them all, and the angels of heaven worship you.'” Nehemiah 9:5-6 SONG: "God of This City" – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qYegE7VRnLU&list=RDqYegE7VRnLU&start_radio=1

Rabbi Jacobson will discuss the following topics: What should we focus on during this time? What's a good way to thank Hashem publicly for all the great miracles he did to protect us from Iran's attacks? What lessons about current events can we learn from these days and this week's Torah portion? Should we be relying on President Trump and the USA to help Israel? How will this war change the future of the world?  What is our role in these unfolding events? How can we inspire each other? Are there parallels between Haman and Khamenei and between Persia then and Persia today? Are we to blame in any way for today's events? Once Iran is vanquished, what happens next? How do we reconcile G-d's all pervasive unity (ein od m'levado) with forces of evil? Should we be gathering names of our enemies online? Are we allowed to watch a video or read updates about the war posted in Israel on Shabbos? Should we be seeking vengeance and retribution over our enemies? 

In a first, United States President Donald Trump ordered the military to strike three of Iran's nuclear facilities. During this episode of the Blessors of Israel Podcast, Dr. Matthew Dodd provides an overview of the U.S. surgical strike on Iran along with the updates concerning Iran's response.

In the first year of King Cyrus of Persia, the Lord fulfilled the prophecy he had given through Jeremiah (Ezra 1:1). Glory to God!

In Part 2 of our All Pro summer series, we look at the courageous faith of Esther—an unlikely queen who stood in the gap for God's people at a moment of crisis. Living in exile in ancient Persia, Esther found herself with a unique opportunity: she could risk everything to speak up for her people—or stay silent and protect herself. Through the encouragement of Mordecai and the power of prayer and fasting, Esther chose to act. Her story reminds us that when God gives us influence, it's not for our comfort—it's for His purpose. This message challenges us to live boldly for others, to lead with faith under pressure, and to trust that God places us in positions of influence “for such a time as this."

( Daniel 5:17-30 )Nothing wrong with contentment, in fact it's a scriptural command to becontent in life for it keeps us from chasing after things we shouldn't. Withthat said, contentment can also be problematic, especially when it causesus to settle when God doesn't want us to settle. As great as it was forDaniel to be favored by Nebuchadnezzar, God had more in store for Danielwhile in exile.When Persia unexpectantly conquered Babylon, Daniel had a new boss,Darius King of Persia. No longer could Daniel rely on his pastaccomplishments rather he had to prove himself once again to a new kingwho had no appreciation to his faith in GodIn contentment to backlash, teach on what happens when God wrecks ourcomfortable existence by allowing a trial that stretches us. Teach on what itwas like for Daniel and how God used this experience to grow his faith.Welcome, we are so glad you have joined us for our church online!

Táhirih (c. 1814 - 1852) was a poet, theologian, and revolutionary. Born into privilege in 19th-century Persia, she defied religious and cultural expectations to become a leading voice in the Bábí movement. Her fearless advocacy for women’s equality and her dramatic unveiling at the Conference of Badasht shocked a nation. Though executed for her beliefs, her words and legacy continue to inspire movements for justice and freedom today. For Further Reading: Reflecting on Two Revolutionary Characters of Faith: The Apostle Paul and Jenab-i Táhirih The legend of Persia’s Qurrat al-’Ayn Tahirih, who publicly unveiled and inspired a long revolution Tahirih was a Persion feminist pioneer we don’t hear enough about Tahirih unveiled: poet, theologian and revolutionary Tahirih A Portrait in Poetry Point by Point Look Up! This month we're talking about Outsiders -- women who marched to the beat of their own drum and rejected stereotypes about what women "should" be. They are aesthetic pioneers, norm-benders, and often the only woman in their field. History classes can get a bad rap, and sometimes for good reason. When we were students, we couldn’t help wondering... where were all the ladies at? Why were so many incredible stories missing from the typical curriculum? Enter, Womanica. On this Wonder Media Network podcast we explore the lives of inspiring women in history you may not know about, but definitely should. Every weekday, listeners explore the trials, tragedies, and triumphs of groundbreaking women throughout history who have dramatically shaped the world around us. In each 5 minute episode, we’ll dive into the story behind one woman listeners may or may not know–but definitely should. These diverse women from across space and time are grouped into easily accessible and engaging monthly themes like Educators, Villains, Indigenous Storytellers, Activists, and many more. Womanica is hosted by WMN co-founder and award-winning journalist Jenny Kaplan. The bite-sized episodes pack painstakingly researched content into fun, entertaining, and addictive daily adventures. Womanica was created by Liz Kaplan and Jenny Kaplan, executive produced by Jenny Kaplan, and produced by Grace Lynch, Maddy Foley, Brittany Martinez, Edie Allard, Carmen Borca-Carrillo, Taylor Williamson, Sara Schleede, Paloma Moreno Jimenez, Luci Jones, Abbey Delk, Adrien Behn, Alyia Yates, Vanessa Handy, Melia Agudelo, and Joia Putnoi.

"The holy Martyrs Manuel, Sabel, and Ishmael, Persians by race and brethren according to the flesh, were sent by the Persian King as ambassadors to Julian the Apostate to negotiate a peace treaty. While with him at a place near Chalcedon, they refused to join him in offering sacrifice to his idols. Scorning the immunity universally accorded ambassadors, he had them slain in the year 362. This was a cause of the war with Persia in which Julian perished miserably the following year." (Great Horologion)

As we are watching the war between Israel and the Prince of Persia, we revisit a dream on how to deal with this spirit.  Listen in and participate for the victory.  

his is a teaser of the bonus episode, "Sparta's About Turn" found over on Patreon.The precarious Greek alliance against Persia hung by the thinnest of threads in 479 BCE. After watching Athens burn twice while Sparta refused to march beyond the safety of the Peloponnese, Athenian patience had run out. When their final delegation arrived in Sparta, they delivered what amounted to an ultimatum: stand with us against Persia, or we may have no choice but to negotiate on our own.Behind Sparta's reluctance lay a complex web of motivations – their preference for defensive warfare, religious observances, fears of helot rebellion, and the delicate politics of their Peloponnesian alliance. While Athens had twice rejected Persian offers that included autonomy and even dominance over other Greeks, Sparta remained fixated on the defense of the isthmus wall. What changed?Something remarkable happened within Spartan leadership. Whether driven by strategic necessity, emergence of leaders like Pausanias, or the stark realization that Athens might actually defect, Sparta suddenly mobilized on an unprecedented scale. Five thousand Spartiates marched forth, each accompanied by seven helots, joined by another five thousand perioeci. As they moved north, other Greek cities rallied to the cause, transforming a fractured resistance into the largest Greek army ever assembled.This pivotal moment represents more than just military history – it captures a rare instance when bitter rivals Athens and Sparta found common purpose. Their brief alliance, forged in crisis, would determine not just the outcome of the Persian invasion, but shape the cultural and political landscape of the ancient Mediterranean for centuries to come.Were you fascinated by this analysis of Greek politics and the fragile nature of their alliance?

In order to become rich, powerful, and prestigious in the pre-modern world, nothing mattered more than horses. They were the fundamental unit of warfare, enabling cavalry charges, and logistical support. They facilitated the creation of the Silk Road (which could arguably be called the “Horse Road”) since China largely built it to enable the purchase of millions of horses to fight its nomadic neighbors to the north. The term "caballero," meaning a gentleman or knight in Spanish, derived from the Latin "caballus" (horse), reflecting how wealth, status, and the skilled ability to ride a horse defined chivalric ideals in medieval society. From the windswept Eurasian steppe to the royal stables of Persia and the warpaths of Genghis Khan, today’s guest, David Chaffetz, author of Raiders, Rulers, and Traders traces the story of how horses changed the world—not just in warfare, but in statecraft, commerce, and culture. Chaffetz makes the case that the so-called “Silk Road” might more accurately be remembered as the Horse Road. Horse-driven mobility shaped empires from Assyria and the Achaemenids to the Mughals and the Soviets. Just as we rely on the Internet today, ancient societies depended on the horse as a transformative technology that shaped everything from warfare to governance.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
