EP26 Dig This!

Daniele Bolelli the fabulous host of “History on Fire” and I fanboy out over archaeology. We had some inexplicable audio problems at times with the recording, so hopefully that doesn't detract from the greatness of the guest.

Yessss!!! Needed a Mid day episode to make this work day go faster

Wow, catching a Dan Carlin video less than an hour after release? It's a good day!

The amount of KZbin ads that interrupt this episode is exhausting...

[@stephenmeier4658]

It's always been fascinating to me that advertisers are more than happy to irritate and anger 99% of the population on the hopes that they will get that sweet 1% to buy buy buy

audio quality is poor , frustrating trying to listen

Yes! Thanks Dan and Daniele!

The audio of Daniele a bit too low and doesn't have the nicest quality

Doesn’t help that he has a thick accent too

Yay! 🥰 Made my day, Love both these guys🦋

[@historyonfireofficial]

Thank you!

[@joshhoff2010]

Thanks Dan. My favorite days are days where I see a new video from you

[@claudeyaz]

Could you do a video on the history of primary sources? Like the history of these different historians end like those Roman historians that have been used as sources? And then talk about how different memoirs and documents and archaeological things have been interpreted and reinterpreted, and given more or less value over the years? Just the history of history? Like how Wilson's history books or other important people who had written books, which are used as sources about them as people, and less so about the events written about inside the books anymore. The use and reinterpreting of history sources by politicians, governments, and people.. Would also be really cool to have a video about why we should not be getting rid of statues, or stop teaching history about general Lee and the American civil war. As a Northerner myself, the way I see it, is general Lee was the face of the confederacy. Had he wanted to, he could have told his men to fight a long drawn out guerilla war/Vietnam style, conflict .. Instead? He not only had his men surrender and put down their weapons, but he had not done any sort of stirring of hornet's nest and went off to Retire as a professor at a college . I think that his decision to surrender there is very understated and how valuable it was to the country, and it's something that a lot of other men wouldn't do...in his position. Look at what is happening in Ukraine! Similar of how the story of Cincinnatus was seen as a myth, until Washington did the same thing.. So I think we need to as a country recognize aunt honor generally and that decision of his.. So if there's ever conflict your issues in the future his example would be one that people look to. Similar to how Washington had read the Greek and Roman classics, he had heard the story at Cincinnati's, and likely wanted to emulate that kind of role model.

[@geesixnine]

Fantastic conversation! Prehistory is so intriguing yet shrouded in mystery

[@Jivindox]

Dan I love you to bits my man but you have to do something about the atrocious audio quality of these podcasts. The microphone on your phones isn't good enough, especially your guest here. With that accent + the horrible audio quality I was struggling to even hear what he's saying half the time. Other than that I love you please run for President and thank you for everything you do.

[@HedgeYourPosition]

YES! I understand 2/3 of what he says, its crazy!

[@jadedirk7233]

Loved this one, Dan. Hard to believe someone can bat 1000 but you do

I could have listend to 4 more hours of this. Thanks!

[@jakethibault2890]

Thanks as always Dan. Now it's time to really dig into the Civil War for a series, don't you think?

[@wasneeplus]

Aren't there already lots of documentaries about that out there? So what makes you say that?

[@MercurialStatic]

Idk why, but your comment feels so damn cringe.

[@helenkessler6012]

In Virginia for instance, it was settled in 1607. There's over 400 years of depth in that one state alone. Its not only that one Era. Texas and west Virginia were Freedman States too. Its not only about one Era.

[@wasneeplus]

@@jakethibault2890 I suppose, but speaking as a non American: the Civil War seems to me to be a small part of a much larger story that in itself didn't have much impact on the rest of the world. It's interesting as an episode in the history of the abolition movement, or slavery, but for just that I'd say it's somewhat overexposed already. I don't see why it's time to talk about it, when there's still so many other subjects on the table.

Leaving work early to listen to this.

[@RLeezyDeezy]

Can you not listen to it at work? I listened to all of his content multiple times during work, it’s a great way to occupy time if you’re doin something at work, not to mention it’s an awesome podcast already, I’m still listening to his content and I always will, he’s an exceptional entertainer/educator. I am glad we study history and it’s circumstances that it has imprinted on the human race as a whole

As always great topic, just your intro got my brain clicking on all 8. I never thought about the people from 1000's of years past and what they must have thought about there history!

[@thekellykellestine]

Love this conversation. As someone who works in archaeology present (CRM archaeology in Ontario, Canada), it's best described as "damage control," prior to infrastructure development. In Canada we have a long history of removing indigenous peoples from their traditional lands, and actively removed them from their cultures through residential school systems, or outlawed practices, like the potlatch completely. The sooner archaeology can be put into the hands of indigenous peoples for the process of reconciliation the better; provinces, municipalities, developers and land owners don't understand the importance of the work that needs to be done because it puts a hold on their infrastructure development (whether public or private) and financial gains. Archaeology, like many things in Western society, needs to distance itself from capitalist and colonial ideals.

[@dirtsapient9638]

[@notsocrates9529]

If anybody wants to read an encyclopedia article about Gonazlo, I suggest using the Spanish version of Wikipedia. The English one did not do it justice and for some reason people love to gut all the good information out of articles because CiTaTiOn nEeDeD despite there being plenty of available sources. It frustrates me to no end when I find a French or Spanish wikipedia article that has all kinds of cool information while the English version paints a very different picture. Another example of this would be the Forces Occultes article on French Wikipedia.

on the topic of “lets wait until we have the tech” to explore certain things it reminds me that we are that middle layer that the archeologists of the distant future will either barrel through or peel back with care
