    Alexander the Great's (Alleged) Tunic - Ep 286

    This week we take a look at 3 recent news stories that supposedly solved a famous historical mystery. First up, the identity of the famous "horeseman" burial has possibly been identified. Then, a scrap of fabric from a tomb in Greece may have belonged to Alexander the Great. Finally, archaeologists have "solved" the mystery of the Roanoake's lost colony. Were any of these mysteries truly solved? You decide!

    Dealing With Your Demons, Medieval Style - Ep 280

    This week we take a closer look at three archaeology news articles. In Norway, an archaeology rescue program is finding and recovering archaeological remains when they are exposed to air by glacial melt. Some of the artifacts are incredibly well preserved examples of organic material that normally doesn't survive the archaeological record. Then we head over to the United States and take a look at a new evidence at a paleolithic hunting camp in Michigan, where researchers have found evidence of what animals they were processing with the store tools. And finally, a medieval grave of a child in Poland appears to have been buried with extreme anti-vampire measures.

    Time Bandits Review - Ep 279

    On today's episode we review the surprisingly historically accurate Apple TV+ reboot of the movie Time Bandits. The new TV show, Time Bandits features a 10-episode season where a group of "bandits" travel through time meeting historical characters along the way. We talk about those characters and the real facts behind them, as well as what we liked about the show. They got a lot of the details right!
