BEHEAD! (the horse)

We're in the Spring and Autumn Period and man is this a really fun episode! I mean, where can you get all this in one place:

• Human Sacrifice

• Ghosts and Ghost Theory

• Beguiling

• Tibetan Buddhism

• and beheading a horse!

Not only the fun stuff but Confucius, Sun Tzu, Lao Tzu, and the really big star Zichan of Zheng posts the laws for the first time. WHAT... NO LAWS?? 

And after this episode was recorded this rolled of Garry from History In the Bible podcast's tongue

"The purpose of the law is to bind the poor without protecting them; and to protect the rich without binding them". 

Listen to this really informative and FUN episode to hear all that and actually way more. Dan and I had a great time recording this one!

We have a jam packed episode here for you guys! They say Genghis Khan was born clutching a bloody blood clot... but here we have Sun Tzu born on the same year of a major peace conference in China. History loves irony that's for sure.

If you've been following along, you know that warfare in China during this period is endemic... maybe more like an epidemic. But as good humans they are trying. Let's see how this works out!
