This was the second series, after the Blueprint. Ancient history was a challenging topic for me, but Dan brings it to life in such vivid colours. Captivating from the first minutes, this work is unmatched in learning about the “black and white” world where the historical records barely existed. Thank you!

This wa sthe first HH podcast I ever heard. Fleshing out all of the ‘-ites’ of history is fantastic. The comparisons and insights of Dan are eye-opening. I especially liked the modern examples of the “statue of liberty in the sand” an dthe emotional impact that those events must have had on the people in the ancient past. The descriptions of encountering the walls by Xenophon actually had me wanting to be next to him and staing in awe and wonder. The description of the time lapse helped frame dusty dates. Thank you SO much for this. I wi be re-listening to this, and I am sure the others, over and over again. 2 thumbs, and 2 toes up!!!!
