If you’ve heard of the Ancient Egyptians, it’s probably something about the gods, or the pyramids, or Cleopatra. But how often do we think about what it was like to live in the Ancient Egyptian world? The period we call Ancient Egypt […]

5 English Things I Didn’t Know Were English

The fun thing about meeting new people is talking to them about so many things. But one thing I’m painfully aware of is just how confusing the English language is. There’s a reason I say it’s a bastard language. But as a […]

The Mycenaeans: The Guys Who *Were* the Greek Myths
