    Just saw tweeting about the newest addendum episode, and my first thought was "How did I not know about the addendum feed!? There's more episodes!?!?"

    The Crimean War was fought between 1853 to 1856 and is probably best remembered for Balaclava, the Charge of the Light Brigade & Florence Nightingale. The early photographs of its British soldiers are quite stunning! I wonder how many of you have ancestors who fought in the war?

    Oh boy...that's a long series! (Our longest maybe?). All because I couldn't find the proper place to begin a story about Cleopatra of Egypt. Typical.

    That's a good small unit version. Some of the riots in some places get pretty big too (and have horses sometimes!).Only way I can think of to assess the pre-gunpowder physics aspect (even though it's obviously far from perfect)

    RIP Philip. Don't know if you've ever seen the gold leaf crowns from Aigai... an archaeologist's dream, a conservator's nightmare.

    In myth, the Lemures were spirits of the restless, unburied dead, who haunted the houses of the living. Every year they were given offerings of black beans to persuade them to leave; if not accepted, they were chased away by clanging a bronze cooking pot.

    Love the constant tug of war between Dan Carlin trying to make episodes shorter and his fans viscerally rooting for him to fail so they can get more content

    That's buddy. I can't deny that I'm crazy anymore. Unfortunately the truth is amply documented. I keep adding to the evidence too.

    Cetshwayo kaMpande was the king of the Zulu Kingdom from 1873 to 1879 and its leader during the Anglo-Zulu War of 1879. (We talk about him in The Colour of Time)

    Ok, here it is. Hope it's not boring! (Please share with any HH listeners you know who might not be aware of the existence of the Addendum feed) We called it "Glimpses of Olympias".
