Any amount goes directly to supporting the various projects we create and maintain including Live Events, Archeogaming Learning Modules, the Open Access Database, Research on the Downward Trend, and more.

Hosted by MJ Pankey, get lost in this entertaining and historically accurate story with us! You’ll find yourself transported back to 1177 B.C. with this vividly illustrated tale, exploring one of history’s greatest mysteries: the collapse of the Late Bronze Age. Eric Cline and Glynnis Fawkes take us through the lives of Pel, a member of the marauding Sea Peoples, and Shesha, an Egyptian scribe. Join them as they visit the kingdoms of the Minoans, Mycenaeans, Hittites, Canaanites, Assyrians, and Egyptians to witness firsthand the misfortunes that befell them and caused their eventual ruin.
This book invites the reader to think about the surprising factors and theories that explain why ancient and modern societies perish or thrive when met with the direly unexpected.

Even today, Bard the guardian spirit is said to wander the region "in a grey cowl with a walrus-hide rope around him, and a cleft staff in his hand with a long and thick gaff", making him a perfect Halloween treat.

Join Dr. Manolis Pagkalos and move past the myths into the real world of ancient Greece for a look at magic and medicine. This masterclass offers insight into the beliefs and practices of Ancient Greeks at a time when the divine and magic were intertwined in daily life. Epigraphic evidence, the direct voice of the ancient world, whispers human wishes: desperation, hope, and a profound belief in the unseen. This masterclass is designed for a wide audience, from history buffs to the simply curious. No experience necessary, just a willingness to explore the eerie side of ancient life!
