In this episode, we debate how ancient structures, such as churches and monuments, serve as keys to the past. Inspired by Hendrik Willem van Loon's The Story of Mankind, we explore topics ranging from the extinction of the dinosaurs and the evolution of Egyptian writing, to great civilizations like Greece and Rome. We also reflect on how empires rise and fall, and the legacies they leave behind for history and our present.
