History Snacks

Queen Cleopatra of Egypt--the myth, the legend, the cut-throat politician who may or may not have killed several of her siblings to gain control of Egypt. In this episode we talk about her rise to power, ruthless family dynamics, lots of assassinations, someone's head on a literal platter, propaganda, and the death of some guy named Julius Caesar.

Did you know the Ancient Greeks found fossils? But they didn't know they were fossils. Surely they couldn't be... the bones of heroes? In this episode we encounter myth and history, confusing prophesies, ancient animals, chatty blacksmiths, and the glory of Sparta.
