Petra and the Nabateans May 17, 2023

Show notes

You know we love mysterious ancient civilizations and this one is no exception. The Nabateans started as nomads roaming the Arabian desert. One day they decided to put down some roots and built what would come to be known as "The Rose City". A hidden city built into the red sandstone of the landscape. Their advancement in water management and architecture alone is incredible enough. But what happened to them? What happened to the people who created this jewel in the desert?

The JFK Assassination May 10, 2023

Show notes

21,719. That's a big number. What if we told you that was how many days it has been since John F. Kennedy was assainated? It's been 21,411 days since we found out Lee Harvey Oswald was the lone actor in the assaination of JFK. Did the Warren commission get it right, or have the last 59 years been full of half truths and dead end investigations. Listen in to hear what they said and what we think actually happened. Off to Dealey Plaza!

Winston Churchill May 03, 2023

Show notes

There have been a few times in history when a person finds themselves in the exact position they need to be at exactly the right time to alter, or in this case stay the course of human history. That time was World War 2 and that person was Winston Churchill. Coming to the position of Prime Minister of Great Britain at a time when their island stood alone against the onslaught of the Nazi Third Reich, Winston Churchill stood firm by rallying not only the people of Great Britain to resist, but inspiring the rest of the world to fight back against tyranny. That may be the most memorable part of Churchill's life but there is so much more that needs to be discussed, including his legendary daily drinking regiment.

Bigfoot: A History Apr 26, 2023

Show notes

Sasquatch, Yeti, Yowie, The Skunk Ape, Wild Man...it goes by many names. Today he's almost more well known for his luxury cooler company, premium jerky sponsorship, and tv and film career, than for the legend he is. Where do our stories of Bigfoot or Sasquatch come from? Are they rooted in ancient cultures? Is it even possible for a civilization to stay hidden in our day and age? I'm not gonna lie folks, we go real deep on this one.

The American Civil War Apr 05, 2023

Show notes

160 years...thats not a long time. That's still relatively recent history. A four year long Civil War fought in the United States when the county was still trying to find its footing. A war that could have very easily and very nearly ripped the county apart. We're covering it from soup to nuts, What caused the secession? Why did the Union struggle so early despite the industrial and numerical advantage? What do we remember and misremember about Lincolns position in the conflict. We cover it all or we try to.

Hello Highstorians. This week we are traveling to the Imperial Valley in California. Where there used to be something called The Salton Sea, there is now something called the Salton Sea.

Then we're taking you to China to explore the most deadly damn failure in history, leading to 200,000 + dead, caused again by man not respecting the power of nature.
