About this listen

We’re breaking time itself as we investigate whether we’re as far away in time from Ancient Rome as the Romans were from Ancient Egypt. Prepare for mind-blowing history facts, a quiz that may or may not expose Jarrod’s lack of historical knowledge, and a wild ride through the weirdest connections between these two ancient powerhouses.

Did the Romans really visit the pyramids like tourists? Was Cleopatra closer in time to the iPhone than to the pyramids? Which modern invention would totally freak out a time-traveling Roman? And what did the Egyptians invent that the Romans stole? (Spoiler: all of the above!)

So, is history just one big time warp? Tune in and find out!
