It’s rewind time!

What’s the point in talking about all things death if you don’t mention the gnarly obsession that some ancient civilizations had for it? 

In this episode, Maria and Ammo each pick out some ancient civilizations together and learn about their perspective on mortality and death. From the very problematic Zeus to mummification, terrible pronunciations, and even some unexpected impressions – enjoy this last ride through history.

Happy listening!
