Welcome back to the Dirt Diaries! Since new archaeological discoveries came out last year about ancient tattoos on an ice mummy from Siberia, I thought it was time to bring this season 1 episode to video! Ancient ink is super rare to find in the archaeological record, and we're covering a few instances today, including one of a monogram to Archangel Michael, I was inspired by the new report on the skeletal analysis of almost 4,000-year-old Egyptian princesses, which shows evidence that they may have been trained in the weaponry they were later entombed with, so today we are diving into other cases of warrior women. We're talking about those who were found alongside weapons, those who may have inspired legends, and misidentified graves!Who was buried here? What do their remains tell us? And were these women ancient warriors?Grab your shovel and maps for this one!-Stay curiousTravel with me, my socials, and more!https://beacons.ai/dirtdiaries.tenn

Welcome back to the Dirt Diaries!
We are back for a bit for a redux of an episode from season 1. I was inspired to do so because during my recent trip to Bodrum in Turkiye, I saw these artifacts in person!
We're talking gold, silver, copper, and of course...tin, breaking down what we have learned, testing, what the final port was, and how expensive this shipwreck was!

Grab your scuba gear; we're heading underwater this week!
