Description
Did you know the Ancient Greeks found fossils? But they didn't know they were fossils. Surely they couldn't be... the bones of heroes? In this episode we encounter myth and history, confusing prophesies, ancient animals, chatty blacksmiths, and the glory of Sparta.
Some questions answered:
What did ancient people think when they found fossils? Did the ancient Greeks know about dinosaurs? Was Sparta always good at fighting? How did Greek mythology affect how ancient people saw fossils?
