Welcome to the website for the Short Walk through Our Long History podcast!
Here on the website, I’ll be posting links to the different episodes, plus bibliographical stuff, images, links, and other related stuff to help you understand history better.
I’ve been adding images and maps to each of the episode posts! For example, if you go to Episode 35, The Far East and the Mongols, you can see a map that compares the sizes of the Roman Empire and the Mongol Empire.
Backfilling the earlier episodes is an ongoing process, as is filling out some of the stuff on the Interesting Stuff page, and the Bibliography page.
Also, if you’d like to leave a comment, you can comment below, or you can leave a comment in the post for each episode.
Image of a wooden board with text from the Iliad, probably from someone’s Greek lessons. This is one of the oldest bits of text from the Iliad – it’s dated to around AD 470. From Egypt, but currently held by the British Museum.
