032 - Darius the Achaemenid

The Podcast History Of Our World ·

2013/03/27

Darius gets a bum rap because he's the first Persian king to invade Greece, but they started it! Honestly! Well...mostly. Whatever. Also after this episode we'll be temporarily saying goodbye to the Persians before we head off to Greece, but don't worry! We'll be coming back!

031 - Prophets and Kings

The Podcast History Of Our World ·

2013/03/16

Oh, Herodotus. I love you man, but you're like the tabloid reporter of the ancient world. Didn't you ever check your sources? What, did you just go with the first guy you heard a story from? Ah well, it still makes for a good story! We'll take a look at Zarathustra and Cambyses in this here episode, and yes before you comment, I am fighting a head cold. Many mugs of tea and Ricola cough drops were sacrificed to make this.

030 - Cyrus the Great

The Podcast History Of Our World ·

2013/03/07

So many people throughout history get to have "The Great" as a moniker, but do they deserve it? Heck no! But Cyrus, here is the exception! From the curious mythology of his birth, to the massive empire he carved out in thirty years, to essentially penning the first human rights charter, who in the ancient world can compare to the luminosity of Cyrus the Achaemenid? Pfft! Go ahead! I challenge you to do so!

The Podcast History Of Our World ·

2013/02/20

This is it! Our last episode with the ancient Hebrews! Will Egypt protect the Hebrews? Will Judah deftly wade through the treacherous diplomatic minefield?

028 - Battle Royale: Assyria vs. Babylon vs. Egypt

The Podcast History Of Our World ·

2013/02/18

For one tiny strip of land, the power players of the ancient Near East seem REALLY hellbent on controlling it! Judah's stuck right smack dab in the middle of it all, and if they are to survive at all, it might even come down to alliances with former hated foes...

027 - The Conquest of Samaria and Israel

The Podcast History Of Our World ·

2013/02/13

2013/02/04

The Podcast History Of Our World ·

2013/01/24

023 - King David

The Podcast History Of Our World ·

2013/01/15

In many ways King David is a lot like Dennis the Menace. They both use a slingshot to take down their enemies, don't get along with neighbors, and are always causing trouble! Haha, yep, well that was a terrible analogy. Still, we're inching closer and closer to historical accuracy now!

022 - Samuel and Saul

The Podcast History Of Our World ·

2013/01/07

People tend to ignore the fact that Saul was the first king of the Israelites! Oh sure he never had a sculpture of himself sans pants in the middle of Florence, but he still deserves to be mentioned!

017 - The New Kingdom Part II: Heretics to Horemheb

The Podcast History Of Our World ·

2012/11/28

Is it possible to introduce monotheism into a staunchly polytheistic society? Well yeah...but claiming to be the only one who understands the god in question while also being the pharaoh isn't gonna make it easy.

016 - The New Kingdom Part I: The Great House

The Podcast History Of Our World ·

2012/11/28

There's so much that happens during the New Kingdom that I had to split up the episodes. So this one is technically the old New Kingdom episode, and the others are the new New Kingdom.

The Podcast History Of Our World ·

2012/10/26

Do you know about pyramid power? Because if you don't...it's probably for the best. REAL pyramid power is convincing thousands of your subjects that toiling in the hot Egyptian sun building a giant triangle is a good idea!
