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.Thomas Preston Floyd 2022 Political Science Politics & Government World

  • Ending Season Four Talking about Brazil

    Ending Season Four Talking about Brazil
    Jun 15 2026

    This week we discuss Brazilian rock art, dating difficulties for some older archeological sites, and differences between favored terminology used by Brazilin archeologists. We also discuss the increase and spread of shell midden or Sambaquis sites as well as how some of these coastal sites revealed the earliest evidence of whaling in the Americas if not the world.

    Also since I know some of you may say something, I know I mistakenly called Columbus Spanish. I know that he was from Genoa and was only working on behalf of Ferdinand and Isabella.
