Strange World - Ep. 021 - July 23rd, 2023
Tonight's show is a second look at amazing inventions of the ancient world, talking about Damascus steel, Roman concrete, and going over once again the connections between the Islamic Golden Age and the Vikings. Then we discuss an interesting new archaeological find, where an elite Roman soldier was buried in Wales as if they were worried he would rise from his grave! After the break, Frobisher continues with the reading series, reading from "Darkness Walks: The Shadow People Among Us" by Jason Offutt.
