Oldest ritual in the world? - Ep 270

View on Zencastr

First up this week we look at one more reason why Cahokia wasn’t all of a sudden abandoned the way researchers had once assumed. Then, excavations at a site in Lake George, NY may (or may not!) shed some light on a 1700’s era Smallpox hospital. And finally, is it possible that a ritual has been passed down 12,000 years? New evidence in Australia suggests it is!
