Fan of History Dan Hörning & Bernie Maopolski

We have a jam packed episode here for you guys! They say Genghis Khan was born clutching a bloody blood clot... but here we have Sun Tzu born on the same year of a major peace conference in China. History loves irony that's for sure.
If you've been following along, you know that warfare in China during this period is endemic... maybe more like an epidemic. But as good humans they are trying. Let's see how this works out!

King Nabonidus of Babylon focuses on everything else but the impending doom. He becomes the first archaeologist, stays away from Marduk, worships the moon and is generally an absent monarch.
Amasis II rules over a golden era of Egypt, also blissfully unaware of the coming doom.
Bimbisara assumes the throne of Magadha in India and begins the rise of the Magadhan Empire. Of these three monarchs, he is the only one who does not need to care about the rise of Cyrus. It will take a while until the Persians threaten India proper.

This discovery certainly did blow Dan and Bernie's minds! And that's not hyperbole, exaggeration, or click bait. No kidding.
A really old city has been found in the heart of the Amazon jungle where only stone age hunter gatherers were supposed to be. Wait till you hear how many people lived there and when.
Don't miss this episode.
