On this episode, we welcome back to the program, journalist and author, Joshua Hammer who was our guest back on episode 112 in September 2016.  Joshua's career has included serving as Newsweek Bureau Chief in, Nairobi, Buenos Aires, LA, Berlin, Jerusalem and Cape Town.  His work has appeared in the New York Review of Books, The New Yorker, National Geographic and the Smithsonian just to name a few publications. He is a New York Times bestselling author of six books, including The Falcon Thief and The Bad-Ass Librarians of Timbuktu (which we talked about in our last conversation). Joshua's just released and latest book is: The Mesopotamian Riddle: An Archaeologist, a Soldier, a Clergyman, and the Race to Decipher the World's Oldest Writing, published by Simon & Schuster. In the course of the conversation we dive deep into this fascinating book – everything from the Royal Asiatic Society's 1857 Great Cuneiform Challenge and the gentlemen who took part in it, to the difficulty of the digs in the Near East, to the “Assyrian Fever” (as Joshua calls it) that swept London in 1851- 1852, to the origins of the British Museum, to the topic of cultural appropriation of a country or people's national patrimony, and more. In keeping with the theme of the show, should he take a one way ticket back in time, Joshua shared what he would tell scholars and archeologists in the mid 19th century about how their work resonates today.   As for Joshua's own one way ticket destination, it's still to Manhattan in 1967. Do check out Joshua's other books: Chosen by God: A Brother's Journey; A Season in Bethlehem: Unholy War in a Sacred Place; and Yokohama Burning: The Deadly 1923 Earthquake and Fire that Helped Forge the Path to World War II. 

A rollicking adventure starring three free-spirited Victorians on a twenty-year quest to decipher cuneiform, the oldest writing in the world—from the New York Times bestselling author of The Bad-Ass Librarians of Timbuktu.It was one of history's great vanishing acts.Around 3,400 BCE—as humans were gathering in complex urban settlements—a scribe in the mud-walled city-state of Uruk picked up a reed stylus to press tiny symbols into clay. For three millennia, wedge shape cuneiform script would record the military conquests, scientific discoveries, and epic literature of the great Mesopotamian kingdoms of Sumer, Assyria, and Babylon and of Persia's mighty Achaemenid Empire, along with precious minutiae about everyday life in the cradle of civilization. And then…the meaning of the characters was lost.London, 1857. In an era obsessed with human progress, mysterious palaces emerging from the desert sands had captured the Victorian public's imagination. Yet Europe's best philologists struggled to decipher the bizarre inscriptions excavators were digging up.Enter a swashbuckling archaeologist, a suave British military officer turned diplomat, and a cloistered Irish rector, all vying for glory in a race to decipher this script that would enable them to peek farther back into human history than ever before.From the ruins of Persepolis to lawless outposts of the crumbling Ottoman Empire, The Mesopotamian Riddle whisks you on a wild adventure through the golden age of archaeology in an epic quest to understand our past.Joshua Hammer is a veteran foreign and war correspondent for Newsweek who has covered conflicts on four continents. He is the author of two previous books, A Season in Bethlehem and Chosen by God: A Brother's Journey. He has contributed articles to The New Yorker, Smithsonian, and many other publications. He lives in Cape Town, South Africa, with his wife and two sons.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/earth-ancients--2790919/support.

Nachdem die Felsenstadt Petra im frühen Mittelalter von ihren Bewohnern aufgegeben worden war, blieb sie jahrhundertelang sich selbst überlassen. Komplett verstummten die Gerüchte über die sagenhafte Stadt der Weihrauchhändler jedoch nie. Als der Forschungsreisende Johann Ludwig Burckhardt von Einheimischen von wundersamen Ruinen im „Tal des Moses“ hörte, machte er sich im Jahr 1812 auf dem Weg dorthin…

Der Koran beschreibt das Paradies wie einen Garten. Mit duftenden Blumen, aromatischen Kräutern und Obstbäumen. Der Jardin Majorelle in Marrakesch, benannt nach dem Maler Jacques Majorelle, der sich 1911 in der Königsstadt niederließ, gilt als einer der schönsten botanischen Gärten der Welt. Der in Algerien geborene Modedesigner Yves Saint Laurent kaufte den Jardin Majorelle im Jahr 1980. Er ist nur eine von vielen Sehenswürdigkeiten in Marrakesch. Auch das Dar El Bacha Museum in der ehemaligen Residenz des Paschas oder den Bahia-Palast des Sultans Si Moussa sind schön bepflanzt und architektonisch reizvoll. Von der üppigen Landschaft Marokkos sind die meisten Besucher überrascht, denn in weiten Teilen herrscht trotz ungewöhnlich starker Regenfälle in diesem Jahr nach wie vor große Dürre. Dank einiger Flüsse und des Schmelzwassers vom Atlas ist die Erde in der Nähe der Gebirge fruchtbar. Im Frühling wächst auf den Hügeln um die Königsstadt Fés frisches Grün, in den Oasen ernten Marokkaner Datteln. In Rabat stutzen Gärtner ganzjährig Buchsbäume und mähen den Rasen auf den Grünstreifen. In der weiß getünchten Kasbah des Oudayas in Rabat ranken sich purpurfarbene Bougainvillea über die Mauern. Neben den Jugendstilvillen im Diplomatenviertel und dem Mausoleum des ehemaligen Königs Mohammed dem Fünften lohnt sich in Rabat ein Besuch des Großen Theaters. Das Büro der britisch-irakischen Architektin Zaha Hadid konstruierte es. Die Medina von Fés ist eine der am besten erhaltenen Altstädte des Maghreb. Kunsthandwerker flicken Kessel, gerben Leder und färben Garn in den Souks. Jahrzehntelang verfielen die Häuser, seit etwa 15 Jahren werden alte Karawansereien und antike Koranschulen renoviert. Die Medersa Attarine aus dem 14. Jahrhundert wirkt von außen unscheinbar. Nach einem Vorraum betreten Besucher einen gekachelten Innenhof mit einer Brunnenschale aus Marmor, einem Gebetsraum einer nach Mekka weisenden Mihrab-Nische. Fotografien der kunstvoll verzierten Stadttore von Fés, etwa das Bab Chems oder das Bab El-Amr, schmücken viele Reiseführer. In der Provinz Ouarzazate, am Fuße des Hohen Atlas, schmiegt sich die Stadt Ait Ben Haddou in die teracottafarbene Landschaft. Der Ortskern ist seit 1987 von der Unesco als Weltkulturerbe anerkannt. Die festungsähnliche Siedlung war der Wohnort der Sippe der Ben Haddou, die im 11. Jahrhundert den Handel auf der Karawanenstraße zwischen Marrakesch und Timbuktu kontrollierte und ist der Schauplatz vieler Filme, etwa von „Der Gladiator“. Bei einem Rundgang durch die nahe gelegene Kasbah Amridil bei Skoura lässt sich ein Einblick über das Leben der Berberfürsten und in die traditionelle Stampflehmbauweise der Kasbahs gewinnen. Über ihre Bewunderung für die Gartenkunst der Maghrebiner, ihre Erfahrungen mit Berberpferden und ihre Faszination für das marokkanische Blau berichtet unsere Autorin Isa Hoffinger.

Ep. 14: Cat Herders Day Crazy about cats? We have a feline this episode is purr-fect for you! Join hosts Tim and Paz and their guest, Davis Liao, founder of the CrazyCat Charity Association, as they talk about the charity and all things cat. Hear about what cat herding is and isn't. Then discover whether these are cat's meows or pet peeves: purrs like a cat, unmanageable, 呼嚕, and… cat!

If you have never heard of Gilbert Price, this episode will remedy that situation. With a voice that was easily produced, full-ranged, tonally refulgent, and technically poised, the three-time Tony nominee, who lived from 1942 to 1991, deserves to be more fully remembered for his deeply expressive portrayals, including the lead role role in Leonard Bernstein's failed Bicentennial musical, 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. He also starred in Timbuktu!, Promenade, The Roar of the Greasepaint – The Smell of the Crowd, and Langston Hughes's 1964 musical pageant Jerico-Jim Crow, which also featured Micki Grant in one of her first featured roles. (This episode was originally produced the day after Ms. Grant died, so it is particularly appropriate that she is prominently featured.) Gilbert Price is also heard in numerous live stage performances (including an early live performance of the original version of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue), a number of live television performances, and four obscure singles that he recorded for Columbia Records in the late 1960s. And just for the holidays, there is a stunning performance of the young Gilbert Price performing “O Holy Night” on The Merv Griffin Show. Countermelody is a podcast devoted to the glory and the power of the human voice raised in song.

Daniel's lifetime in music as a professional countertenor, pianist, vocal coach, voice teacher, and journalist yields an exciting array of anecdotes, impressions, and “inside stories.” At Countermelody's core is the celebration of great singers of all stripes, their instruments, and the connection they make to the words they sing.

Area/TopicWest Africa, Business, Culture, Food, Scooter TripsPhil PaolettaCo-ownerScoot West AfricaFormerly a middle school teacher in Washington, DC, Phil Paoletta is now a semi-nomad based in West Africa. An obsession with highlife music originally drew him to Ghana in 2005. Once he arrived there, he found other things — groundnut stew, the Twi language, mapouka (both the dance and the liqueur), orange-headed lizards — that he also liked. In 2010, he quit his job to travel back to West Africa. He figured he had enough money for a 6-month trip. He didn't know it at the time, but that trip would never actually end. Fourteen years later, Phil finds himself based in Senegal, leading scooter trips around the region with Scoot West Africa, and making frequent stops in Bamako, Mali, where he is part owner of the Sleeping Camel hotel and restaurant. Since 2016, he has been collaborating with former tourist guides in Timbuktu on Postcards from Timbuktu, an e-commerce project that supports the guides and their families following the collapse of Mali's tourism sector. When he is not moving around, he enjoys relaxing on the beaches of Senegal's Petite-Cote with his wife and two kids.https://scootwestafrica.com/summaryIn this episode, Jason Elkins interviews Phil Paoletta, co-owner of Scoot West Africa, who shares his journey from a transformative concert experience to living in West Africa since 2010. Phil discusses the cultural richness of the region, the importance of music and food in social interactions, and the unique travel experiences offered by his company.

For Cooder, the mid-nineties were a period of astonishingly numerous world music collaborations. Between 1993 and 1995 alone, he worked with Indian string legend V.M. Bhatt (A Meeting By The River), Ali Farka Touré of Mali (Talking Timbuktu), Nenes and Shoukichi Kina of Okinawa (The Great Music Experience), The Chieftains of Ireland (The Long Black Veil), and Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan of Pakistan (Dead Man Walking). So in this episode we take a trip around the world (kind of) and tell the story of all these very exciting collaborations.This podcast frequently uses small snippets of musical recordings in podcast episodes for educational, review, and commentary purposes.

When you start planning for a wedding, a theme, style, and colors are at the top of the list.  That is where we began when Dylan and Rachael decided they were ready to tie the knot, Rachael chose pink and saige as her wedding colors and the hunt was on for the dress.   I looked everywhere from here to Timbuktu looking for a pink dress, and ordered several online just hoping I'd find that perfect dress that I had in my mind and that fit "me." By the skin of my teeth just days before the wedding and with much turmoil, I found the dress, made it fit me the way I needed it to, and it was a HIT!  All of the searching, trying on, returning, and headache provided some insights I thought we could learn from. There's not a cookie-cutter solution for everyone. If you have a vision of what you want, go get it. Don't give up until you say Yes to the Dress! Listen to Episode 236 to hear the story about the dress and the lessons learned, and be prepared for a good chuckle as you get a taste of my crazy!

Au nord du Bénin, le chômage n'est pas la seule cause de la radicalisation de certains jeunes qui basculent dans le jihadisme, affirme le Timbuktu Institute. Au terme d'une longue enquête dans trois départements du nord du Bénin, aux confins du Burkina Faso et du Niger, cet institut publie un rapport intitulé Au-delà de la criminalité, qui montre que l'approche criminologique ne suffit pas pour combattre le phénomène jihadiste. Professeur à l'université Gaston Berger de Saint-Louis du Sénégal, Bakary Sambe est le directeur régional du Timbuktu Institute et le fondateur de l'Observatoire des radicalismes et conflits religieux en Afrique. RFI : Dans votre enquête très fouillée - près de 300 interviews étalées sur plus d'un an - vous dites que le chômage des jeunes est un facteur essentiel de la radicalisation et un responsable associatif de Djougou vous dit : « pour avoir du travail, il faut connaître quelqu'un qui est proche du pouvoir, sinon on n'en trouve pas ».Bakary Sambe : Oui, des jeunes des communautés qui ont participé à l'étude perçoivent donc, de ce point de vue, la radicalisation et l'extrémisme violent comme un refuge pour faire face aux différents problèmes sociaux et socio-économiques. On voit, notamment dans la Donga, comment les groupes extrémistes violents arrivent à instrumentaliser ces griefs, notamment les questions d'injustice et d'inégalité. Par exemple, ce jeune qui nous aborde en disant : « est-ce qu'on pourrait m'aider à entrer dans un groupe extrémiste violent, parce que ça fait des années que j'essaie d'entrer dans l'armée, mais ne connaissant personne, appartenant à une certaine ethnie, je me sens exclu ». Et donc, il voit dans ces groupes-là un refuge pour justement lutter contre ces griefs et sortir de la marginalisation.Il voit même cela comme « une revanche sociale », vous dit ce jeune…Il voit cela comme une revanche sociale, parce que, pour lui, l'État et ses représentants locaux l'empêchent, en tant que Béninois jouissant de ses droits, d'entrer dans une fonction publique comme l'armée ou bien les forces de sécurité et de défense, pour véritablement vivre sa passion, qui est la passion des armes. Du coup, il se voit attiré par les groupes extrémistes violents qui se présentent comme des protecteurs des communautés ostracisées et jouent cette carte de la division et essaient de dire à des communautés ostracisées, marginalisées : « nous sommes vos protecteurs ».Autre facteur de radicalisation, dites-vous, dans les provinces du Nord du Bénin à majorité musulmane, la compétition religieuse entre prédicateurs, les uns salafistes, les autres de la confrérie soufie tidjaniya ?Oui, on voit bien ces rivalités internes au sein de la communauté musulmane, aussi bien dans la Donga comme à Djougou ou à Ouaké. Elles expriment le degré d'ancrage des courants wahhabites qui contestent les groupes soufis comme la tidjaniya. Là, les cheiks [wahhabites] bâtissent toute une stratégie basée sur l'humanitaire et le travail social. Et on voit que ces organisations, via des ONG qui reçoivent des financements, commencent à se substituer à l'État. Et on voit là une dynamique qu'on a connu dans le Sahel dans les années 70 et qui commence à devenir une véritable réalité dans le nord du Bénin. Et il y a ce témoignage qui nous a été fait au sujet de la stratégie de ces ONG pour combler le vide. La personne nous dit carrément que ce sont des pays du Golfe qui, à travers des projets, font des dons d'infrastructures aux villages et aux communes. Aujourd'hui, dans les départements du Nord du Bénin, nous avons des centaines de forages d'eaux, de puits, et cetera. Bref, une stratégie de remplacement de l'État et, en même temps, une stratégie double. D'une part, elle est basée sur la dawa, la prédication. Et de l'autre côté, sur la hirassa, le secours humanitaire. De sorte qu'aujourd'hui, il y a une compétition des courants religieux, une lutte entre ces courants religieux, notamment le salafisme wahhabite et la tidjanya, qui aujourd'hui est menacée par cette offensive de la dawa.Et dans certains villages, vous dites que les jihadistes n'hésitent pas à saisir les téléphones des habitants pour supprimer les vidéos qu'ils considèrent comme haram, c'est à dire impie. Est-ce à dire qu'il y a des zones où les djihadistes circulent en toute liberté et font la loi ?Nous avons été très surpris par ce témoignage à Nattitingu, dans le département de l'Atacora, où les jeunes vous disent qu'ils reçoivent des messages et qu'ils ont des nouvelles de certains jeunes qui ont été appelés par les « gens de la brousse » et qui hésitent à les rejoindre. De la même manière que l'on voit un jeune qui témoigne de l'existence de centres de formation, en disant que, lorsque les jeunes quittent ces centres de formation et reviennent dans le village, ils commencent à avoir un comportement qui inquiète la communauté.D'après votre enquête, le département le plus vulnérable aux jihadistes, c'est celui de l'Atacora, limitrophe du Burkina. Vous y racontez la stigmatisation des Peuls et aussi ce que les habitants appellent les « gens de la brousse », c'est à dire des groupes djihadistes armés qui circulent pour aller du Togo au Burkina et qui, du coup, sont en contact permanent avec la population, est ce qu'on peut parler de familiarisation ?Il y a une forme de familiarisation, il y a une forme aussi de stratégie qui fait que les populations locales sentent que ces « gens de la brousse » maintenant font partie de leur quotidien. Du coup, je pense que la bonne stratégie des autorités serait d'avoir une approche mixte. C'est à dire, autant il est important de gérer les impératifs et les urgences sécuritaires au regard de la menace, mais aussi il est important d'avoir une approche basée sur le renforcement de la résilience des communautés, de sortir du tout sécuritaire, d'expérimenter les stratégies endogènes basées sur la culture du dialogue, sur la culture de la médiation. Les jeunes que nous avons vus se déployer en médiateurs, des jeunes engagés dans leur communauté, cela montre qu'il y a encore des ressources au sein de la société béninoise qu'il faudrait explorer dans le Nord du Bénin.À lire aussiBénin: une attaque terroriste fait plusieurs morts dans le parc national W au nord du pays      

    Sometimes a mix comes along at just the right time. This new mix from Paul comes as summer has ended and the weather, at least around here, has turned a bit chilly. There's something about this collection of tracks that seems to work well with this change of seasons.   This mix is different from the usual LLM fair and definitely a change in direction for Paul, a temporary change but a welcome one. These are all vocal tunes, each with its own story to tell.   Here's what Paul says about this compilation:   “Just some of my favorite story songs from the past few decades. Some classics and some I hope will be a delightful discovery for you, as they were to me. Interesting that more than half of them turned out to be about death. But we end on a hopeful note, celebrating life, the universe and friendship.”   Perfect for night time listening around a fire with a good whiskey.

Jeff Bezos's fortune is vast, but he isn't the richest person in history. That title belongs to Mansa Musa, whose wealth, even adjusted for inflation, surpasses Bezos, Elon Musk, and Bill Gates combined. Ruling the Mali Empire in the 1300s, Musa controlled vast gold and salt reserves and his immense generosity caused a decade-long gold recession in cities like Cairo, Medina, and Mecca. He transformed Timbuktu into a global center of trade, culture, and learning. Despite his monumental impact, Mansa Musa's story is largely forgotten outside of Africa. In this episode, I discuss the forgotten story of Mansa Musa and the transformative power of his wealth and visionary leadership.

In 1827, French explorer René Caillié set out to become the first European to reach the fabled city of Timbuktu - and return alive. In the first part of our story, we learn about the history of Timbuktu, the Niger River, and West Africa. We then look at the early years of Caillié's life - growing up in poverty without parents - and his first excursions to Africa beginning at age 16. And then, in 1824, the Société de Géographie in Paris would offer a 9,000 franc prize to the first European to reach Timbuktu - and return to tell about. And thus Caillié immersed himself in the culture and religion of the local people in order to strike out on his own - and win the grand prize.

We learn some surprisingly useful Italian phrases from one of Italy's most popular newspaper columnists, then consider why certain places have fostered more than their share of world-changing innovations, and hear about Timbuktu's history as an important center for scholarship. Plus, we find out about the thrill of dropping in on a choir practice in small-town Wales.
