As shovels turned the arid earth and the dreams of empires took form, this monumental endeavor not only reshaped maritime routes but also the very fabric of global connections. Through the hands of thousands laboring under the sun, and the strategic plays of nations hungry for progress, we trace the quiet echoes of water lapping against the promise of a new era. Drift away on the gentle currents of history, where the pasts ambitions soothe todays restless spirits. This episode is hosted by Brian Miller.
