Just finished recording my first podcast interview about the new book, Far Edges of the Known World! Had a great time talking with The Partial Historians🏺. If any other history podcasts are interested in chatting about life at the edges of the ancient world (and beyond), get in touch!

At some point people will surely notice that these are not the same gestures right? Right? #BadAncient

This is not a Roman military salute. Leave ancient history out of this! #BadAncient

Thanks to Bloomsbury Books UK for this gorgeous copy of Dr Owen Rees new book, The Far Edges of the Known World - it’s excellent!

We miss one Easter weekend and this nonsense spreads like wildfire! Ishtar has no link, at all, to Easter. The more you know about Ishtar, or indeed Easter, the more this becomes obvious #BadAncient: badancient.com/claims/easter-…

Really happy to have been asked to contribute to Bad Ancient by answering the question: Did King Tutankhamun own a dagger made from a meteorite? If so, who made it, where did it come from, and why was it buried with him? Read my article and find out more: badancient.com/claims/tutankh…
