In this week’s episode we are going to look at the birth of the Manhattan project, and more specifically the moment where President Franklin Roosevelt made a crucial decision, similar to one that Napoleon failed to make hundreds of years before. FDR recognized the convergence of necessity and genius and chose to take a risk by trusting men who had an idea that seemed to almost everyone else like a fantasy. And as a result of his decision, the world would move into a new nuclear age and never again be the same. To support the show and bonus content:  Patreon.com/historyfeels_ Email: [email protected]

In this second episode we are going to follow the classical world’s Ring of Power, the body of Alexander the Great, as it was handed from ruler to ruler and Empire to Empire until it mysteriously disappeared. We will look at the effort to track down Alexander’s tomb that stretched over the next 2,000 years, and where the search had left us today.   Bonus Content!: Patreon.com/historyfeels_ Email: [email protected]

It's good to be back! Thanks for bearing with us this summer as we took some time to research and plan for this fall string of episodes. We promise to maintain consistency from here on out.   In this episode we are going to start at the end of Alexander the Great’s life, looking at the death of the great conqueror and how quickly his achievements in empire building came crashing down after he was laid to rest.  It's also a story that sets up one of history's greatest mysteries that we are excited to tackle - namely where does Alexander the Great lie, and what exactly happened to his tomb?
