014 - The Temple of Ramesses at Abu Simbel and Pharaoh Ramesses the Great

In this podcast, we'll visit 200 Wonders of the World, from the Pyramids to the Great Barrier Reef, to tell the story of our people, our civilization, and our planet.  My name is Caroline Vahrenkamp, and I'm a travel junkie.  The world is filled with amazing places that reflect the greatest achievements of human accomplishment.  In these uncertain times, understanding our great shared history may help to bridge the divides between us.  And if not, it will be a fun ride anyway!  We'll discuss the history of each place and the story of the men and women who lived there.  We'll cover travel notes, examine what else to see while you're in the area, and dig into the local cuisine.  Expect a new episode every two weeks.  And thanks for listening!
