Amazing New Views of the Titanic, Pompei Revelations, and a Rare Mayan God - Ep 219

We’ve got three stories about pretty well known places or events. The first contains a video and pictures representing over 700,000 images that were stitched together to form the most complete views of the Titanic, ever! We then go to Pompeii to discover that not everyone died as a result of the eruption of Vesuvius. Finally, we head down to Maya country to see a CRM project find a rare sculpture of a Mayan god.

Timelines: 79 CE in Pompeii, Teotihuacán, and Aksum - Ep 157

Everyone knows that the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 CE buried the Roman town of Pompeii in volcanic ash, abruptly ending its time as a flourishing port city on the Bay of Napes. But, what what else was happening in the ancient world at the same time? In this Timelines episode, we begin by chatting about Pompeii and it's unfortunate demise in segment one. Then we move over to Central America, where Teotihuacán is entering its monumental architecture building phase at the same time. And finally, in segment three we look at the Kingdom of Aksum, which was growing into a thriving trade town on the route between Rome, the middle east and India. These three very similar, yet very different stories were taking place at the same time of approximately 79 CE around the world!

Pompeii Slave's Rooms, Homo Naledi, and ancient theater toilets - Ep 146

We've got three news stories for you again this week. The first is about a find at Pompeii, where they are always finding cool things, that's different from most. Archaeologists have found what they think are slave's quarters, an underrepresented group in the archaeological assemblage. Next we have some new thoughts after a recent reconstruction of the 300kyo Homo naledi. Finally, archaeologists get really excited about 2000 year old toilets in Turkey.
