    PROMO - Is Colossal Biosciences lying to you about direwolves? - Ethno 14

    Modern Myth is taking a break this week, so please enjoy this episode of Ethnocynology with David Ian Howe, another excellent show on The Archaeology Podcast Network! In this episode, David talks about the recent news about the direwolves that were “brought back from extinction.” However, as he explains, no direwolves were brought back from extinction, and it seems the company is intentionally lying to the public for one reason or the other. David talks biology, speciation taxonomy, and why it seems the public is being duped.

    Saving Mes Aynak, Cultural Heritage in Conflict with Brent E Huffman -Ep 22

    10 Years ago, Brent was interviewed by Tristan about the film Saving Mes Aynak and now they are reuinted in podcast form once again. Across the world, cultural heritage faces the threat of human development, for things like housing or resources. 10 years ago Saving Mes Aynak was a film about a Buhddist archaeological site of the same name in Afgahistan and followed the stories of Afgan archaeologists in their attempts to record and perserve the archaeological record under the threat of the Taliban and more directly, a Chinese mining company, looking to extract copper from the area. In this episode, Brent recounts his time filming Saving Mes Aynak and reflects on the political changes in the country since then. Also discussed in his current project, which is about cultural heritage under threat, and telling the stories of the people who are attempting to rescue it. Links Saving Mes Aynak Brent E.

    The Modern Myth of the British Empire with Dr. Kim A Wagner - Modern Myth - Episode 20

    This episode dives into the world of the British Empire - as it is viewed in Britain and the lingering narratives that surround it. Today's guest is Kim A Wagner, Professor of Global and Imperial History, who discusses the reality of the British Empire and challanges the "balance sheet" view of history which sees historical events as simply "good" or "bad". We also get on to the topic of the culture war that seems to be happening in the UK when it comes its own colonial legacy and in particular adherence to the reminders of that past in the forms of statues and names of buildings and colleges. You can follow Kim on Twitter https://twitter.com/KimAtiWagner William Dalrymple - The Anarchy - http://www.williamdalrymple.uk.com/books/the-anarchy
