The year 2026... BC! Our goal: to cover (almost) every major event from 2026 BC - 2026 AD, decade by decade. A fun, conversational take on a history podcast.

  1. Jul 3

    1570 - 1550

    The Bronze Age is settling back into a state of balance as New Kingdom Egypt and Kassite Babylon begin their centuries of rule.  Theban Egypt reasserts its dominance under a succession of warrior-kings and we take a deep dive into the strange history of the Hittites of Anatolia.

    1600 - 1570

    The Hittites burst onto the historical scene with a bang with Mirsili’s invasion and sacking of Babylon. But in a moment of historical irony, Hattusa falls into chaos while Babylon begins to rebuild ever stronger under the rule of the mysterious Kassites.

    1650 - 1600

    One of the most ancient stories we have is the story of Osiris and Horus which tells of the cycle of life, death and rebirth. This cycle is apparent in the decay and downfall of once-great Babylon and Egypt and the rise of the Hittites and Hyksos.

    1720 - 1700

    Jump over bulls with the Minoans, watch Egypt split in two, witness the fall of Babylon and the rise of Assyria, the mysterious Sealand Empire and a few more newbies to the scene. Somehow our shortest time frame led to our longest episode yet! Grab some tea and get comfy for this one folks.

    1770 - 1750

    I wonder if Hammurabi felt as accomplished when he conquered all of Mesopotamia, as I do having released 10 episodes of the podcast. Listen in to learn how he did it against all odds!
