This is the first episode of a two part series that moves quickly to the end of the Viking age. The center of our story is on the conflict between two groups of fierce warriors, the Danes and the Anglo-Saxons, over control of the island of Britain. In our first episode we are going to look at how the established Viking culture changed and shifted due to its interaction with a new force on the world stage, Christianity. In the process the groundwork was laid for a new Empire that turned its eyes south to try and conquer a very lucrative target, Saxon England.  To support the show and bonus conent: Patreon.com/historyfeels_ Email: [email protected]   Two important sources used in this weeks episode:  Children of Ash and Elm: A History of the Viking’s by Neil Price The Anglo-Saxons : a history of the beginnings of England 400-1066  by Marc Morris

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]
