Long before Homo sapiens populated the earth, the Neanderthals lived in Eurasia.Now, paleoanthropologists in England and France are using new archeological methods to shed light on some previously unexplained Neanderthal mysteries.Many years before in history, before homo sapiens lived on this planet, the neanderthals populated the earth. Due to the advancement in Paleoanthropology, we more of less understand the ways of our ancient ancestors.When asked to picture a Neanderthal, most of us immediately think of a dumb Fred Flintstone type, carrying a club, wearing fur, and finding the nearest woman to knock over the head and drag back to their cave.Well, that’s wrong.Neanderthals were a social and capable species, who were far more intelligent than we think.Make sure you don’t miss a single revelation—hit Follow on Spotify or Apple Podcasts.Don’t let these echoes fade: turn on notifications and leave us a 5star review wherever you get your podcasts. 🎧For the full, unflinching visuals, head to YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@ADayInHistoryOfficialDISCLAIMER: All materials in these episodes are used for entertainment purposes and fall within the guidelines of fair use.

The Roman Empire ran on slaves. Slavery was such a necessary part of its ecosystem that a massive 1 in 5 citizens in the Roman Empire were enslaved. It was so common in fact, that Emperor Nero was once told by his advisor Seneca that “a proposal was once made in the senate to distinguish slaves from free men by their dress,” but “it then became apparent how great would be the impending danger if our slaves should begin to count our number.” In essence, if slaves were to realize how large in number they were, then they could easily rise up against their masters. The Roman Empire is one of the greatest civilizations of all time. It gave us poetry, music, art and stories still told today. It produced new sciences, medicines and works of great minds like the ancient Greek philosophers: Socrates, Hippocrates, Plato, Aristotle… to mention a few. When we think of Ancient Rome, we think of the decadence and luxury of a civilization living lavishly. What we don’t think of is the slavery that made this all possible.Make sure you don’t miss a single revelation—hit Follow on Spotify or Apple Podcasts.Don’t let these echoes fade: turn on notifications and leave us a 5star review wherever you get your podcasts. 🎧For the full, unflinching visuals, head to YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@ADayInHistoryOfficialDISCLAIMER: All materials in these episode are used for entertainment purposes and fall within the guidelines of fair use.

The TransAtlantic Slave Trade is one of the most horrific and shameful parts of human history. From 1525 to 1866, an estimated 2.5 million African people were forcibly taken from their homes and shipped halfway across the world to endure lives of brutality and abuse as slaves in the New World.Before they even reached the New World, however, 1 in 5 died because of the horrific conditions aboard the ships that took them across the ocean.We couldn't possibly sum up the tragedy of the TransAtlantic Slave Trade in one video, and it would be insulting to try, but today we're going to take a little look at life aboard one of these slave ships and the horrifying truth of what innocent African people endured because of the slave trade.Follow the show & turn on notifications to never miss an episode! 💽Rate us 5 stars on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. 🎧Watch Video Episodes on YouTube: https://linktr.ee/adayinhistory#history #transatlanticslavetrade #africanslaveship #slaveryhistory #slavetrade #themiddlepassage #africanamericanScriptwriter: Natasha Martellhttps://7strangethings.com/Voiceover Artist: Chris RedishDISCLAIMER: All materials in these videos are used for entertainment purposes and fall within the guidelines of fair use.

In April and May of 1940, thousands of Polish prisoners of war were taken far from their homeland to a secret police prison and a nearby slaughterhouse and shot in the back of the head. The killing was done in an organized and meticulous fashion: most people were taken into a cell that had been padded to prevent sound from escaping, shot in the back of the head, and their bodies taken out through a door in the opposite wall and loaded onto trucks. Whether the cells were hosed down between killings is unknown, but they likely were; dozens of bodies per day per cell means a lot of blood and brains – and lastminute panic when seen. Still, it seems unlikely that the victims didn't know what was in store for them.It sounds like a description of the horrors the Germans inflicted on and in Poland throughout their occupation of that unfortunate country, but in this case, it wasn't the Germans doing the killing. It was the Soviets, and the killings of the Polish POWs near Katyn in Belorussia were part of Stalin's larger plan to control his portion of Poland with an iron fist.Ironically, the slaughter was discovered and announced to the world by the Nazis in 1943, who tried to use the massacre of Polish soldiers and a large number of civilians as a wedge to cause friction between the Soviet Union and the Western Allies of the United States and Great Britain.#katyn #sovietunion #ww2 #historySources:United States.
