    18. Egypt - Fall of the Pharaohs

    Far in the distance, three colossal shapes tower over the desert horizon…In this episode, we travel to the Nile Valley, and tell the story of one of the most iconic cultures ever produced by humankind – the civilizations of ancient Egypt. I want to show how this series of related cultures grew up in the floodplains of their great river, and built some of the most enduring and recognizable structures in the world. And I want to tell the story of what happened to bring the age of the Pharaohs finally and cataclysmically to an end.

    The Secret Twin Study: Files Sealed Until 2065

    Does nature or nurture shape who we are? Does our personality come from our genes, or the environment we live in? Countless scientific studies on the subject have been published. But one such study – a collaboration between a psychoanalyst and a New York adoption agency – was instead hidden away for decades. Could it be because the study was founded on lies? Because it was unethical? Or might there be some other secrets hiding in the files of Dr. Peter Neubauer? Today, we welcome a special guest: twin studies expert Dr. Nancy Segal. Check out her book!

    The Superman Curse and the Death of George Reeves

    In the 1950s, Adventures of Superman dominated TV screens thanks to its star George Reeves. However, while the world loved him as Superman, George reportedly felt trapped in the role. According to the Hollywood rumor mill, the resulting depression drove him to die by suicide. But is this what really happened, or an apocryphal tale that covers up the truth – that Superman was murdered?

    How did a persecuted minority religion rise to be embraced and enforced by mighty Roman Emperors? Tristan Hughes is joined by Professor Peter Heather to chart the dramatic rise of Christianity, exploring how Emperors such as Constantine the Great were forced to hide their true religions and the suppression of paganism across the world.

    The Prehistoric Plague

    The first ever outbreak of 'plague' - Yersinia Pestis, the most feared disease in human history - was long thought to be the Plague of Justinian in 541 AD. But new studies of ancient DNA have revealed traces of Yesinia Pestis dating back more than 5,000 years.  In this episode of The Ancients, Tristan Hughes is joined by Laura Spinney to explore the origins of prehistoric plague. How did this pestilence emerge to blight the Neolithic world? Where did it come from? And could it have triggered a Stone Age collapse which signalled the dawn of the Bronze Age in Europe? Discover how this deadly pathogen reshaped entire Stone Age societies, long before the advent of written history.  MORE Did Plague Destroy the Roman Empire?

    Ghana Must Go (Part 2)

    In 1983, Nigeria ordered millions of undocumented immigrants to leave within weeks: an event that became known as “Ghana Must Go.” But this story didn’t begin there. We trace the deep history of migration between Ghana and Nigeria, from cooperation and shared opportunity to economic crisis and political tension. Through accounts, we look at how mass expulsions unfold, why migrants are often scapegoated, and what these decisions really cost.
