What's New In History with Daniele Bolelli

Bernie gets some help from the brilliant and talented podcaster Daniele Bolelli from "History on Fire" Podcast. In this second part of an AMAZING LiDAR survey of the Yucatan lowlands we discuss life in the "Pre-Classic" Mayan world.

That, and the usual historical and philosophical observations found on What's New in History and History on Fire.

This era is contemporary with such famous events in the Near East as the sack of the Elamite capital of Susa by Assyria, the destruction of the Temple of Solomon by the Babylonians, and the Greco-Persian Wars including the Battle of Thermopylae.

We hope you enjoy this episode as much as Bernie did making it!
