ShortHand: Ancient Civilisations

RedHanded

26-03-2024 • 19 mins

Human history is littered with tales of grand ancient civilizations, who built colossal monuments and developed amazing technologies. But some of them made it into our history books – and, for some reason, some didn’t. So what happened to the Tartessians, Göbekli Tepe, and The Kingdom of Benin – and why were they forgotten?

This week on ShortHand it’s time to go all Indiana Jones (not the one with the aliens) to discuss what on Earth happened to humanity's lost wonderlands and confront the awkward truth that Britain was almost certainly involved in some of their demise.
