Episode Why was the Rosetta Stone so vital? - Franziska Naether Cover

Beschreibung

Dig into how scholars decoded the writing on the Rosetta Stone, and how this helped them understand ancient hieroglyphs. -- For centuries, scholars puzzled over the hieroglyphs they found carved onto ancient Egyptian ruins, tablets, and papyri. But in 1799, a unique discovery would finally help unlock their meaning. It was a stone inscribed with three different texts: Egyptian Hieroglyphs, Demotic Egyptian, and Ancient Greek. Franziska Naether shares how scholars decoded the ancient message of the Rosetta Stone. Lesson by Franziska Naether, directed by Tim Rauch.

Episode thinkers on anger - Delaney Thull Cover

thinkers on anger - Delaney Thull

Explore different philosophers’ ideas about anger and dig into their theories on how we should handle this complicated emotion. -- Anger is a complicated emotion. It can feel reasonable and righteous or impulsive and uncontrollable. Anger can be an important part of letting us know when something immoral is happening, but finding the right response to those psychological alarm bells can be tricky. So, is it ever right to be angry? And if so, when? Delaney Thull takes a philosophical look at this powerful emotion. Lesson by Delaney Thull, directed by Cara Watson.

Episode One of humanity's most time-honored condiments - Dan Kwartler Cover

One of humanity's most time-honored condiments - Dan Kwartler

Trace the history of ketchup, from the condiment’s origins in 3rd century China to becoming a staple of American cuisine. -- In the mid-18th century, England was crazy for ketchup. The sauce was a staple, but this ketchup wasn’t the ubiquitous red goop you’re familiar with today. In fact, it was a sweet and savory brown sauce that didn’t even have tomatoes in it. So where did this early ketchup come from, and how did it become the dip we know and love? Dan Kwartler traces the condiment's history. Lesson by Dan Kwartler, directed by Denys Spolitak.
