Fascinating episode of Not Just The Tudors featuring @sixteenthcgirl.bsky.social’s convo with archaeologist Mark Horton about the “Lost” colony of Roanoke, the power of myth making and memory, and what the evidence suggests really happened to the colonists.

Plutarch says she died as a result of a snake bite, administered by her own hand, having smuggled a viper into her rooms in a basket of figs. Is it possible?

Can I tell you how very proud I am of the new series we have on TV tonight?

It’s on at 9pm, it’s called ANCIENT AUTOPSY, and it’s on More4. Tonight, we explore the evidence of the death of the last Pharaoh of Egypt, Cleopatra.

This intervew with Dr. Noah Charney by @sixteenthcgirl.bsky.social in her "Not Just the Tudors" podcast is well worth your attention. Georgio Vasari shaped how we understand art history today and an understanding of his life and work is therefore very important.

I feel bound to point out that Robert Prevost holds dual American/Peruvian citizenship, and also that he's the first US pope in history. Pope Francis was (Latin) American.

A thread of all the posters we’ve created for our department to show the insight of historians. Some are in our curriculum and other’s have valuable insight that can help students’ understanding of the past and the discipline of history. 🧵
