Warfare, Advancement, and Revisionism
The goal of this project is to document the history of humanity by documenting all of humanity’s attempts to defeat it’s greatest foe. Itself. This is not going to be a straightforward documentation of kings fighting and destroying each other, though there will be many mentions and examples of that. This will attempt to explain our subjects from the ground up. The common foot soldiers to the leaders at their head. Their strategies, tactics, weapons, and technologies. Their triumphs and tragedies. Their lives and their deaths. What they fought for and why. What motivated them. What drove them.

Review of Alpha (2018) 12.06.2022 42:08
A long delayed Bonus Episode! I've finally got around to recording my thoughts and review of the 2018 movie Alpha. It's really good!
10,000 B.C. Part 8 06.06.2022 21:47

10,000 B.C. Part 7 30.05.2022 23:39
This week I give a brief overview of the geography of the Horn of Africa and talk about the Omotic people and a very small number of their traditions. There's much more modern history than I would have liked to cover here, but it was necessary. This show does cover Revisionism after all. It was bound to happen sooner or later. https://twitter.com/WarAdRevPod

This week we begin our coverage of West Africa at 10,000 B.C. This includes general details and an overview of the Niger Congo language family and its possible sub groups.

10,000 B.C. Part 3 02.05.2022 25:17
So this week's episode got cut a little short due to weather, but we were at least able to get in a decent overview of early Khoikhoi religion. Unfortunately their original stories are more obscured than their San neighbors, but that doesn't mean they can't be meaningfully discussed. You can reach me at the podcast email or the twitter below: https://twitter.com/WarAdRevPod

Three Age System and 10,000 B.C. 04.04.2022 21:57
This episode is a little shorter than the last couple. It's meant to briefly breakdown the creation and idea of the Stone, Bronze, and Iron Ages while also laying out the roadmap for the podcast as we reach the end of the stone age and the beginning of Civilization. Consider this the end of part one as it were. Twitter: https://twitter.com/WarAdRevPod

Please rate and share the episodes if you would be so kind.

By popular demand I have included a link to a Twitter account for better communication. https://twitter.com/WarAdRevPod Thanks for listing!!!
Sole Survivors 14.03.2022 26:53
This weeks episode is a little somber as we go over the extinction of our last Hominid Cousins Neanderthals, Denisovans, and the Hobbits while I raise some questions on how different they were actually perceived to be by Homo Sapiens. We also go over our developing artistic (and possibly religious) expressions, as well as a few more simple tools that were being developed by ourselves and our cousi...

I want to thank everyone who has been listening. This episode goes over or cultural development as well as our development of ranged weaponry. We also go into a discussion of the supposed Toba Catastrophe. I got a little tongue tied explaining this how massive this explosion was. I should have just said it was the largest eruption in 1 million years. Regardless thanks again for your feedback and l...
Supplemental Episode: Quest for Fire 28.02.2022 26:32
This week we are discussing the 1981 film Quest for Fire. SPOILER(It's pretty good.) We talk about the novel it is based, the film's created langue, and how even if they made mistakes in the history part of the movie it's still a compelling well acted movie.
Supplemental Episode 1: Ancestors Humankind Odyssey 21.02.2022 27:28
This is the first of our bonus, meta, or, supplemental episodes. These will allow me to regularly put out some type of content while I do research and script out our main episodes. I hope you enjoy this review of a fun little game. Ancestors Humankind Odyssey (2019) by Panache Games is an action survival game about the evolution of early hominids even earlier in prehistory than what we have covere...
