complained about the concrete slabs being laid down, saying that it s hiding the original features of the acropolis and even wounding the stone here. but i ve been told that these slabs can be raised, and you ll still have the original features, and, actually, look this is some of the original stone, and it s smooth anyway. rival historians claim the work carried out is a means to get more tourists to visit and is disrespectful to the site s diverse past. i m heading down to the acropolis museum to meet a man who knows a thing or two about ancient history, and he believes the ancient greeks themselves would ve been ok with this upgrade. ancient greek civilisation, culture, is an anthropocentric culture. that means they created their gods in the image of themselves zeus, hera, aphrodite and so on. and between them, they had hephaestus, a very hard working metalsmith and very powerful god. and he was lame.
vamos, carmen! in the chilean region of arica, on the northern fringes of the country s atacama desert, you ll find clues that something significant lies beneath the ground. hidden in the sand are some of the oldest mummified bodies in the world, evidence of an overlooked culture that once lived and thrived here on the western coast of south america. it s amazing how close these skeletons are to the surface, and apparently there s layer after layer after layer of bodies going down as low as 2m underground. this is crazy. ifeel quite strange, walking on the dead here. between 7000 and 1500 bc,
