We have a jam packed episode here for you guys! They say Genghis Khan was born clutching a bloody blood clot... but here we have Sun Tzu born on the same year of a major peace conference in China. History loves irony that's for sure.
If you've been following along, you know that warfare in China during this period is endemic... maybe more like an epidemic. But as good humans they are trying. Let's see how this works out!

King Nabonidus of Babylon focuses on everything else but the impending doom. He becomes the first archaeologist, stays away from Marduk, worships the moon and is generally an absent monarch.
Amasis II rules over a golden era of Egypt, also blissfully unaware of the coming doom.
Bimbisara assumes the throne of Magadha in India and begins the rise of the Magadhan Empire. Of these three monarchs, he is the only one who does not need to care about the rise of Cyrus. It will take a while until the Persians threaten India proper.

This discovery certainly did blow Dan and Bernie's minds! And that's not hyperbole, exaggeration, or click bait. No kidding.
A really old city has been found in the heart of the Amazon jungle where only stone age hunter gatherers were supposed to be. Wait till you hear how many people lived there and when.

Herodotus tells us Croesus gave a bunch of nice things to Delphi and the other oracle. Many of the items were still seen in his day. That is why the Greeks said Rich as Croesus…
The oracle famously tells Croesus that if he attacks the Persians he will destroy a mighty empire. LOL. But also to make an ally of whoever was the most powerful of the Greeks.
Which great empire will prevail when the two power houses go up against each other?

Officially, the “age of colonization" ends in 550 BC. There were a few random colonies founded after this time but not many and nothing really important, So (sadly?) we probably won’t have new colonies going forward.
Its like if you were playing a video game the colonization phase is over and now its GAME ON!
So… what’s going on in Carthage cuz that’s where that part of the game is going to be heating up between the Greeks and Carthagenians.

Now in the 540's BCE it's getting harder to break apart the regions of the world because they are getting more and more connected. But in this episode we can still just talk about Greece and two of its most important and well know cities: Athens and Sparta.
In Athens will the third time be a charm? The "tyrant" Pisistratus comes back with mercenaries and invites his enemies for a nice breakfast. Let's see how that turns out!
While in Sparta we have the Battle of the 300 Champions. There's going to be some serious PTSD going on here!
We will also learn about legendary wrestler Milo of Crotone and his unreal feats of strength, the Olympics, and all the usual banter and insights you get from Fan of History!

From 2020. There is no WNIH this week so we figured we would present to you the episode Dan is most proud of in the entire history of Fan of History. Naturally the patrons on Patreon does not get charged anything for this rerun of episode 101.
Archaeologist Reidar Magnusson, specialized in Northern Europe 1000-500 BC, joins Dan to talk about what was really going on in the North during the end of the bronze age. Reidar sheds new light from recent findings on this exciting era in the area. Hinduism-style burials, a gigantic battle among professional soldiers that nobody knows who they were, the death of 90% of the population by an unknown agent, the best bronzecrafting in the world and much, much more. Join us for a special episode when we go deep into the secrets of the late bronze age of the north. Full text below!
This is a podcast by Dan Hörning and Bernie Maopolski.
Archaeology
As there are no written sources that reliably describe any parts of northern Europe before the Roman expansions the material for this episode of the podcast in entirely based on archaeological finds and research. History, in the meaning of written sources, is available in Scandinavia from around 1000 A.D. In other parts of northern Europe a few hundred years earlier. Archaeology is a social science that use scientific methods for dating, provenance analysis, sample analysis etc. A lot of information can be determined from human bones, and DNA techniques gives even more opportunities, that presently are too costly to be used in any larger scale.
The finds from settlements sites from this era are the covered post-holes from the longhouses and some hearths and storage pits together with some pottery, bones and occasional Iron tools. Graves from this period are for the most part discreet and seldom containing gifts. The keys to understand this period likely lies in the more special sites of the period, the bronze deposits, the heaps with fire-cracked stones and the occasional cult sites.
The end of the Bronze Age
During this period this part of the world to the most part transit between the Bronze Age and the Iron Age. Traditionally the break between the Bronze Age and the Iron Age take place around 500 B.C. in the Nordic Bronze Age culture but in reality iron have replaced the bronze for cutting edges around 800 B.C. A fact that even one of the pioneers in early Swedish archaeology, Oscar Montelius, confirms. In Britain and in rest of northern and central Europe, for example Hallstatt culture in Austria, the transit takes place around the same time. Iron-working have been known in these regions for several hundreds of years at that point. For example: the oldest evidences of Iron-working in present-day Sweden are from around 1100 B.C. Worth mentioning is that the oldest evidence for bronze working from the same region is just a few hundreds of years older.
However, even if the changes in metal working does correlate with a shift in the society of the time it´s most likely not the cause of the change. And the introduction of iron does not diminish the use of Bronze in most cases. It´s relevant to question whether the transit from bronze to iron had any greater significance at all in a larger scale.
Settlement patterns
The society of the time had a strong maritime focus. All settlements where situated in the vicinity of waterway, but often not directly by the shores. Settlements where almost exclusively single household farms, with a few exceptions that are perhaps hamlets. One example of that is Apalle outside today’s Bålsta in Sweden, that is the largest excavated...

Bernie gets some help from the brilliant and talented podcaster Daniele Bolelli from "History on Fire" Podcast. In this second part of an AMAZING LiDAR survey of the Yucatan lowlands we discuss life in the "Pre-Classic" Mayan world.
That, and the usual historical and philosophical observations found on What's New in History and History on Fire.
This era is contemporary with such famous events in the Near East as the sack of the Elamite capital of Susa by Assyria, the destruction of the Temple of Solomon by the Babylonians, and the Greco-Persian Wars including the Battle of Thermopylae.
We hope you enjoy this episode as much as Bernie did making it!

The times they are a changin' in major ways all over the ancient world. We are in the 550s BC and starting the backstory of one of the greatest events in world history - The Greek & Persian Wars. East vs West. The world's first historian begins it this way:
THESE are the researches of Herodotus of Halicarnassus, which he publishes,
in the hope of thereby preserving from decay the remembrance of what men have done, and of preventing the great and wonderful actions of the Greeks and the Barbarians from losing their due meed of glory; and withal to put on record what were their grounds
of feuds.
The Fans of History Dan and Bernie couldn't have said it any better!
Cyrus the Great is shaking up the East. Like EARTHQUAKE shaking it. Empires that ruled for centuries are being wiped out.
The Greeks have colonized just about every available plot of open land. But the Greeks are not an empire like in the East... they are a rambunctious array of peoples who like to write poetry and ponder the universe and will also run each other through with spears. Democracy is forming in Athens but can it last with the non-democratic, ambitions of Sparta?
In this pivitol episode Pisistratus comes back in style, Bernie puts the conspiracy of giants to bed, and Dan refuses to kink shame. Plus the usual laughs and insights you can only get from Fan of History Podcast!

20,000 years ago, a woman living in Siberia put on a pendant fashioned from a deer tooth. She wore it for a long time, perhaps until she died or lost the artifact. Now, thousands of years later, that pendant has been found and scientists have extracted the DNA of the woman who wore it, using an innovative method that promises to answer many questions about ancient peoples and their way of life.
Dan and Bernie discuss this and of course a few other things!

In the far reaches of Indonesia lies Flores, a long narrow island of high mountains, precipitous cliffs, and deep ravines. While doing fieldwork on this remote island, our guest today - anthropologist Gregory Forth - came across people talking about a half-apelike, half-humanlike creature that once lived in a cave on the slopes of a nearby volcano.
Over the years he continued to record what locals had to say about these mystery hominoids while searching for ways to explain them as imaginary symbols of the wild or other cultural representations. In his latest book - “Between Ape and Human: An Anthropologist on the Trail of a Hidden Hominoid”, you can follow him as he explores the mystery of this hominoid, and the space they occupy in Lio cultures as both natural creatures and supernatural beings.
Why it's especially of interest to Fans of History In 2003, several skeletons of a small-statured early human species were excavated in a cave in western Flores. Named Homo floresiensis, this ancient hominin was believed to have lived as recently as 12,000 years ago—possibly overlapping with the appearance of Homo sapiens on Flores. In view of this timing and the striking resemblance to the mystery creatures described by the islanders, Dr. Forth began to think about the creatures as possibly reflecting a real species, now extinct but retained in the cultural memory. Investigating reports from the Lio region of the island, he soon found that locals described these 'ape-men' as still living—dozens even claimed to have seen them.
Bernie and Dr. Forth discuss his book and his finding on Flores Island... don't miss it!

We're in the heart of the Spring and Autumn Period of Chinese history. Our time now is the pre-dawn of Confucianism, Taoism, and Buddhism with the states in the central plains at each other's throats as usual. Today we have small battles and intrigue, culminating in another showdown between Jin and Chu. Plus we have our first meeting with Lao Tzu the founder of Taoism, and DEFINITELY listen to the end to hear some reviews... one is a bit shocking!

Yes it’s all true…
The recent discovery of a 11,400-year-old village in Turkey challenges ideas of when and why humans first settled down. Excavations at monumental site Karahan Tepe, near the Turkish-Syrian border, suggest that society was established before the dawn of agriculture.

As Dan would say WHAT??!!
Dan joins Bernie on this episode of What’s New In History where we learn that our hominid ancestors probably were “sailing” something like a HALF MILLION YEARS AGO! What sounds like a crazy theory at first will become much clearer after you hear our brilliant minds discuss this … as well as bigfoot, Chewbacca, South American monkeys, and UFOs. What else can you ask for!

A discussion with Professor Peter Brand about his latest book, Ramses II, Egypt’s Ultimate Pharaoh.
Ramesses II was the most magnificent and iconic pharaoh in Egyptian history. His reign was the longest, the most “monumental” in buildings and artwork, the most innovative in diplomacy, and even the most procreative, with over one hundred royal offspring! Drawing on the latest research, Peter J. Brand digs deep into Egyptian culture and archeology, revealing the mindset and motivations of Ramesses II. We find what his grand monuments reveal, and equally what they conceal. On the international scene, we peruse the diplomatic letters—often surprising, sometimes amusing—between Pharaoh and the kings of Babylon, Assyria, and the Hittite Empire.
About the Author:
Dr. Peter J. Brand (PhD University of Toronto, 1998) is an ancient historian and Egyptologist specializing in history and culture of ancient Egypt during its imperial age (ca. 1550–1100 BCE). He is author of The Monuments of Seti I and their Historical Significance: Epigraphic, Historical and Art-Historical Analysis (Brill, 2000), and has written numerous articles on Egyptian kingship, monumental art and construction, history, popular religion, warfare, and diplomacy during the late Eighteenth Dynasty and Ramesside period. Ramesses II, Egypt’s Ultimate Pharaoh is his fourth book. Since 2001, Brand has served as director of the Karnak Hypostyle Hall Project, which is recording, conserving, and interpreting hundreds of scenes and hieroglyphic texts carved on the walls and columns of the Great Hypostyle Hall. The project uses cutting-edge technology to model and reveal the inscriptions on this forest of 134 giant columns. Brand has appeared in over twenty documentaries for the History Channel, Discovery, and National Geographic.

It's a dream come true for Dan! He uses his great knowledge of ancient Rome to tell us more about the early, early days of the city and the legendary king Tarquin. You won't find a deeper dive than this... we have it all... Etruscans, the first Triumph, and War! But he doesn't stop there - oh no, not at all - we have a "disembodied phallus". Yep... that and the world's first tuba. Definitely check it out!

In our latest episode of “What’s New In History”, Bernie tells of a recent discovery in Israel of a 3700 year old comb. But it’s more than meets the eye after a second look.
The lead archeologist, Yosef Garfinkel, said “I really think this is the most important object ever found in my excavations.” That’s a pretty bold statement…is it the comb of King David or maybe Abraham? Listen to find out the whole surprising story!

Why is Dan sad? Is it because there are more guys in the infant Roman senate than what’s left of the whole mighty Assyrian Empire? Or is because we kill off a whole lot of “Great Civilizations of the Past”? Listen to find out! That plus a nice piece of grass, and what 5 guys are doing in a basement somewhere in the Hatti-land.

The capital of the empire has been reduced to sand but the empire still somehow fights on after after its glorious last stand. Suddenly there is a glimmer of hope - an old ally rallies to the defense of the Assyrians. For a brief moment in time it seems that the Empire has not fallen. Will the Pharaoh be able to save the universally hated empire from its certain demise?

For 300 years the Assyrians have terrorized their neighbours, built pillars of heads and taxed their vassals into oblivion. This is where it ends. In these final two parts of the 610s BC we discuss the final conflict between the alliance led by Nabopolassar and the Babylonians and the remnants of the once so powerful empire.

"History on Fire" is a podcast by author and university professor Daniele Bolelli.
As we were invovled in researching episode 85 of History on Fire we were allowed to publish this episode as a bonus episode for you guys.
You can find more great episodes of History on Fire here: https://luminarypodcasts.com/listen/daniele-bolelli/history-on-fire/10c7f0c4-18a7-44e8-ab47-0ba1a54a4c09?coun
“I cut off their heads. I burned them with fire. With their blood I dyed the mountain red like red wool. Men I impaled on stakes. The city I destroyed, devastated… the young men and maidens I burned in the fire.” Ashurnairpal II
“I filled the wide plain with the corpses of his warriors…. These [rebels] I impaled on stakes. …A pyramid of heads I erected in front of the city.” Salmaneser III
“Don’t let Hezekiah mislead you by saying, ‘The Lord will rescue us!’ Have the gods of any other nations ever saved their people from the king of Assyria? What happened to the gods of Hamath and Arpad? And what about the gods of Sepharvaim? Did any god rescue Samaria from my power? What god of any nation has ever been able to save its people from my power? So what makes you think that the Lord can rescue Jerusalem from me?” Isaiah 36:18-20
History is a fickle beast. Some events may not seem like much at the time when they happen, but they end up radically shaping all events afterwards. For example, had just one event turned out different—an event largely forgotten today, such as the siege of Jerusalem in 701 BCE—and all of history would have changed. If the siege had ended in the way everyone expected it to end, Judaism would have disappeared from the pages of history, and Christianity and Islam would have never been born. Can you imagine how different the world would be if you were to remove the entire history of the three main monotheistic religions?
In this episode we’ll tackle this greatest of ‘what ifs.’ In the process of doing so, we’ll discuss the origins of Western monotheism, Assyrian culture, Hebrew legends, the Assyrian protection racket, the clash between monotheistic Hebrews and polytheistic Hebrews, how the Assyrians turned 10 of the tribes of Israel into the “lost tribes”, committing ‘suicide by Assyrian’, the destruction of Lachish, what may have happened in Jerusalem in 701 BCE, and much more.

We were just getting warmed up last time! The epic continues with Gilgamesh’s clever plan to civilize the wildman Enkidu by introducing him to Shamhat the sacred prostitute. From there it’s all fun and games with epic adventures in Elam and/or Lebanon, fierce monsters, and a goddess scorned. Throw in the first known reference to the Zombie Apocalypse and you have another exciting episode you definitely should not miss!

A special guest talks to Bernie about the very ancient “Epic of Gilgamesh” in part 1 of this multi-part series. In this episode you’ll meet Gilgamesh the ancient king of Uruk, Sam the Scribe, and two guys named Enkidu. One is a Wildman made from spit and clay and one is our new Fan of History contributor Enkidu Barkarmo. But you’ll have to listen to find out which is which!
The standard Akkadian Epic of Gilgamesh was composed by a scribe named Sîn-lēqi-unninni, probably during the Middle Babylonian Period ( c. 1600 – c. 1155 BC), based on much older source material.

Partial transcript:
Northern Europe during the period 1000 – 600 B.C by Reidar Magnusson
Archaeology
As there are no written sources that reliably describe any parts of northern Europe before the Roman expansions the material for this episode of the podcast in entirely based on archaeological finds and research. History, in the meaning of written sources, is available in Scandinavia from around 1000 A.D. In other parts of northern Europe a few hundred years earlier. Archaeology is a social science that use scientific methods for dating, provenance analysis, sample analysis etc. A lot of information can be determined from human bones, and DNA techniques gives even more opportunities, that presently are too costly to be used in any larger scale.
The finds from settlements sites from this era are the covered post-holes from the longhouses and some hearths and storage pits together with some pottery, bones and occasional Iron tools. Graves from this period are for the most part discreet and seldom containing gifts. The keys to understand this period likely lies in the more special sites of the period, the bronze deposits, the heaps with fire-cracked stones and the occasional cult sites.
The end of the Bronze Age
During this period this part of the world to the most part transit between the Bronze Age and the Iron Age. Traditionally the break between the Bronze Age and the Iron Age take place around 500 B.C. in the Nordic Bronze Age culture but in reality iron have replaced the bronze for cutting edges around 800 B.C. A fact that even one of the pioneers in early Swedish archaeology, Oscar Montelius, confirms. In Britain and in rest of northern and central Europe, for example Hallstatt culture in Austria, the transit takes place around the same time. Iron-working have been known in these regions for several hundreds of years at that point. For example: the oldest evidences of Iron-working in present-day Sweden are from around 1100 B.C. Worth mentioning is that the oldest evidence for bronze working from the same region is just a few hundreds of years older.
However, even if the changes in metal working does correlate with a shift in the society of the time it´s most likely not the cause of the change. And the introduction of iron does not diminish the use of Bronze in most cases. It´s relevant to question whether the transit from bronze to iron had any greater significance at all in a larger scale.
Settlement patterns
The society of the time had a strong maritime focus. All settlements where situated in the vicinity of waterway, but often not directly by the shores. Settlements where almost exclusively single household farms, with a few exceptions that are perhaps hamlets. One example of that is Apalle outside today’s Bålsta in Sweden, that is the largest excavated...
