2 MAY 2024 · With a background in philosophy, archaeology, and education Dr. Philip Tonner has taught at a number of Universities and secondary schools across the UK, and he is currently a Lecturer at the University of Glasgow’s School of Education. Regarding his recent book - Dwelling: Heidegger, Archaeology, Mortality, one reviewer wrote “There really isn’t any directly comparable book – it is unique,” and in many ways so too is the following conversation. In this episode we discuss the Phenomenology of archaeology in the context of palaeolithic and Neolithic cultures. Philip shares Heidegger’s work on “Dwelling,” a lifestyle in which agents were consumed by the practical needs of day to day living, where the modern thresholds between mind and body, or thought and action, were nonexistent. This discussion presents an enthralling liminal voyage into ancient mind and cognition through the perspectives of Heidegger, and the interpretations and expansions of Dr. Philip Tonner.

25 APR 2024 · Dr. Richard Friedman is an expert in Geographic Information Systems [GIS] who integrates aerial technologies with remote sensing and ground surveying at archaeological sites. In this episode we return to the Chaco Canyon in the US southwest where Richard outlines the astronomical, geographical and cosmological aspects of this vast assembly of tracks, roads, ways, sacred structures and underlying alignments. Richard explains that the monumental landscape not only reflects aspects of the night sky, and the cycles of the Sun and moon, but it also served as a complex map of the perceived underworld. Developing on our study into the controversial Chaco Meridian, which was delineated by Professor Stephen Lekson in Episode 02, Richard describes a series of T-shaped stone doorways, or thresholds, at Casas Grandes which might serve as architectural evidence for the arrival of a band of elite Chacoans migrating southwards from Aztec Ruins in Chaco Canyon. https://www.spreaker.com/show/history-fuzz to the History Fuzz podcast and never miss an episode For $5/month History Fuzz members get early, ad-free access to new episodes, exclusive video content, documentaries, articles and maps.https://historyfuzz.com/podcast https://historyfuzz.com/contact questions, requests, criticisms, suggestions and feedback History Fuzz Onlinehttps://historyfuzz.com/podcast :https://www.instagram.com/ashleycowie/ :https://www.facebook.com/AshleyLambieCowie :https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4LNLDfv3OvcQZhbBwXkJiQ/ Join the History Fuzz team exploring and filming inhttps://historyfuzz.com/colombia All television and media enquiries please contact Eric Radin andhttps://www.akatalent.com/ To advertise your product or service on this podcast, or to discuss show sponsorship options, please contact Ashley Cowie byhttps://historyfuzz.com Become a supporter of this podcast:https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/history-fuzz--5975618/support.

26 MAR 2024 · Professor Helen Benigni and Barbara Carter co-authored the best-selling book “The Myth of the Year, Returning to the Origin of the Druid Calendar”. Exploring where Celtic and Greek astronomy influenced mythology the authors presented academically rigorous interpretations of the Coligny calendar discovered in France, and the sacred Eleusian calendar of ancient Greece. Exploring where the night sky meets ancient mythology in this far-reaching episode you’ll learn how lunar and venetian astronomy inspired ancient builders to monumentalize key stages in the cycles of the moon and Venus. And after delineating the archaeoastronomy of Celtic and Roman temple architecture the researchers outline some of the esoteric aspects of Bronze Age calendrical rituals associated with the moon and Venus. Illuminating ancestral knowledge through the study of constellations, and presenting supporting artifacts from Ice Age Europe, Helen and Barbara systematically unveil the origins of seasonal myths, revealing the deities of a lesser-known Palaeolithic pantheon. ---Professor Helen Benigni Professional Bio. https://www.dewv.edu/staff/helen-benigni/--- https://www.spreaker.com/show/history-fuzz to the History Fuzz podcast and never miss an episode For $5/month History Fuzz members get early, ad-free access to new episodes, exclusive video content, documentaries, articles and maps.https://historyfuzz.com/podcast https://historyfuzz.com/contact questions, requests, criticisms, suggestions and feedback History Fuzz Onlinehttps://historyfuzz.com/podcast :https://www.instagram.com/ashleycowie/ :https://www.facebook.com/AshleyLambieCowie :https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4LNLDfv3OvcQZhbBwXkJiQ/ Join the History Fuzz team exploring and filming inhttps://historyfuzz.com/colombia All television and media enquiries please contact Eric Radin andhttps://www.akatalent.com/ To advertise your product or service on this podcast, or to discuss show sponsorship options, please contact Ashley Cowie byhttps://historyfuzz.com Become a supporter of this podcast:https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/history-fuzz--5975618/support.
