The Book of the Dead is a collection of spells and prayers to be reciting in the afterlife and to be used as a guidance book to a safe journey to the field of reeds (Paradise) where the gods judge you based on your actions in life and how your confessions of sins made during life. We also go into great detail about the processes of mummification where the organs would have been removed from the body, preserved in jars and the body was dried and wrapped in linens. We also touch on colonialism, the British Museum and the ethics behind artifacts and museums. Lots of controversial topics, but there's so much to talk about!

The Christmas Truce

Began on Christmas Eve 1914

Lasted through Christmas Day 1914, Boxing Day (Dec. 26) 1914, or New Year’s Day 1915

Was unofficial and unsanctioned by both sides’ governments

Despite this, no court martials or disciplinary actions occurred as a result of the truce

Both sides benefited from morale and chance to repair defenses

Punishing the truce would have had a detrimental effect on morale

Occurred on parts of the Western front between mostly German and British troops

Estimated to have occurred in 2/3 of British line in Southern Belgium

Estimate by Malcolm Brown of Britain’s Imperial War Museums

Approximately 100,000 troops believed to have participated

Truce spread organically from regiment to regiment

Was not controlled or directed by officers or troops but instead was allowed to happen

Occurred only five months after the start of WWI

Attempts a truces in subsequent years was met with threat of disciplinary actions by commanders

Duration of the truce varied

Some places did not occur

Some places it lasted only Christmas Eve and Christmas Day

Some places it lasted for several days after Christmas, even up to New Year’s Day

First sign of Truce 8:30 PM Christmas Eve

Germans light up trenches with Christmas trees and sing songs

German Silent Night met with British First Noel

Christmas Eve marked a shift in the weather

Several weeks of constant rain gave way to frost and snow

Rain and mud make trench warfare extra miserable

End to the rains a relief for both sides

Welcome to the Second Episode of the Historical Humans podcast, our second episode is our New Years special discussing calendars and the counting of time throughout history

Time is something that throughout all of history humans have attempted to count time and break it down into a system that is easily followed and can track the moving days and months with the years. However, this is not something that is followed universally. In today's podcast we discuss the history of our current calendar, the Gregorian calendar , it’s origin as the Julian Calendar to the prehistoric calendar keeping systems of the Egyptians, Mayans, the orthodox religions and Chinese New Year. We also talk about perceptions of time and the existential crisis that is felt because of the linear nature of time , but some places time is cyclical. We end the New Years’ special by recapping our year and talk about the positives and downfalls of the year, and what we are looking forward to in the new year.

If you make it this far, please comment saying “Nice Midlife Crisis”
