21.01.2022 'Minnesota doesnt typically come to mind when you think about slavery and the Civil War. Its also not a place thats figured into the national imagination when it comes to Black activism, eitherat least, not until recently. However.... this post draws on several events in Minnesotas history to help us understand the connections between the historic and the current experiences of Black and Native people in the Midwest.'

20.01.2022 An insight into why the study of history is so important to society and career pathways. Dan Snow and guests 'examine the intellectual, economic and societal benefits of studying history. They discussed the humanities in relation to STEM subjects, the typical career trajectory of a history graduate and examined history's crucial role in civic studies.'

20.01.2022 'Archaeologists who studied patterns engraved on the 4,000-year-old stone say they believe the markings are a map of an area in western Brittany. They say this makes the slab the oldest 3D map of a known area in Europe.'

20.01.2022 'Lancaster and York. For much of the 15th century, these two armies were locked in a fierce battle for control of the English throne. Kings were murdered and deposed. Armies marched on London. Old noble names were ruined while rising dynasties seized power and lands. And at the centre of this struggle for power was Richard Neville, Earl of Warwick the man who would come to be known as ‘the Kingmaker’.'

20.01.2022 'Booby traps were cheap and relatively simple to make, and the Viet Cong used them to devastating effect. Unlike mines, many of the booby traps laid were made from bamboo which could be hidden from mine detectors, and often worked on their own, meaning traps could be set ahead of time without the need for monitoring.'

20.01.2022 'From the 6th century BCE, philosophy was used to make sense of the world including astronomy, mathematics, politics, ethics, metaphysics and aesthetics. But why did philosophy flourish in Greek culture? How were the great philosophers received in their own time? And how did it influence Islam, communism and even the theories of Sigmund Freud?'

15.01.2022 'We can now say without equivocation that this was Hitlers war, say historians. But could more intelligent diplomacy on Britain's part have saved Europe from a devastating conflict?'

14.01.2022 'Invaders, pirates, warriorsthe history books taught us that Vikings were brutal predators who travelled by sea from Scandinavia to pillage and raid their way across Europe and beyond. Now cutting-edge DNA sequencing of more than 400 Viking skeletons from archaeological sites scattered across Europe and Greenland will rewrite the history books....'

14.01.2022 'One of the most enduring components of the Viking image is the notion of freedomthe adventure of a far horizon and all that went with it. But for many, this was an unattainable hope. Any true reading of life in the Viking Age first has to come to terms with an aspect of everyday experience that probably represented the most elemental division in societies at the time: the difference between those who were free and those who were not. Beneath the social network, any other distinction of status, class, opportunity and wealth pales beside the most basic fact of liberty and the consequent potential for choice.'

13.01.2022 'Ancient Egyptian art is filled with images of reverent revelers with pointy cones on their heads. Men and women are shown with head cones in artistic depictions on everything from papyrus scrolls to coffins, donning the pointed objects as they take part in royal feasts and divine rituals.... But while the head cones were relatively common in Egyptian art for more than a thousand years, their purpose and existence has remained a mystery.'

13.01.2022 'The history of the ancient world has always been told as a history of cities, from Homers epic poems about events just before and just after the sack of Troy, through the prose histories of wars between Athens and Sparta, Rome and Carthage. From the 5th century BCE, most historians, dramatists, philosophers, orators, and scholars spent much of their lives in cities, and crucially so did their readers.'
