From Here to History
The history podcast where Chris Swanson and Jason Weidert discuss events and people of the past with as much openness, understanding, and fairness as we can muster. Our only agenda is to inform in an entertaining and engaging way.
We teach high school, after all, and that's a tough audience. Our hope is that if we can keep teenagers interested we may be able to pull off a worthwhile podcast, too.
We try to release one episode every month. But we're teachers with busy young families so if we go a little longer than that between episodes, bear with us!
From Here to History
The Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, Pt 2
DISCLAIMER! If you're listening to this episode, first, thank you! But second, this is an early episode. It was recorded and edited when we really didn't know what we were doing and our sound quality was very lacking. We've gotten a lot better at both since then so, please, bear with us! We're so glad to have you along.
In the second of our series on the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, we leave the Pyramid at Giza and journey to Anatolia to see one of history's most elaborate vanity projects: the Tomb of Mausolus at Halicarnassus.
From there we'll go back to Egypt (who planned this trip??) for arguably the most practical and useful of all the seven wonders, The Pharos at Alexandria.
