A Review of Episode 6 of Graham Hancock's Ancient Apocalypse with Dr. Shane Miller & Dr. Jesse Tune - Ruins 136

On this episode of A Life in Ruins Podcast, the three lads are joined by Dr. Jesse Tune and Dr. Shane Miller to review Episode 6 of Graham Hancock's new show: Ancient Apocalypse. Before recording this podcast, the five of us watched the show together, took notes, and immediately recorded this episode. We outline the show's narrative, the sites Graham covers to support the disproven theories he perpetuates, and the "data" used to support Graham's Ice Age civilization. This show wraps up by discussing our thoughts about the show and the implications of Grahamcock's latest attack on science, archaeology, and public interest of the past.

Homo Erectus, Neanderthal and Roman Food! - TAS 197

This week we happened to find 3 news stories about evidence for eating and cooking food in the ancient world. First up is the first evidence of Homo Erectus cooking fish 780,000 years ago. Then, we fast forward to 70,000 years ago and leftover evidence of a Neanderthal meal gives us insight into how they prepared food. And finally, in Rome new excavations under the coliseum reveal the kind of snacks that spectators would have enjoyed.

For our members, we have a bonus segment describing how one journalist attempted to recreate the Neanderthal meal that we discussed in segment 2! Members and non-members can sign in or sign up to hear it here!
