Hi, I'm Rick. I'm trying to make sense of our ancient history, in public.

I explore ancient sites and museums in person, dig into historical accounts, myths and traditions, in an attempt to assemble the most plausible puzzle picture of our ancient past.

I don't favour any particular camp. I'll take a good argument from a professor or from a no-name YouTuber, and drop a bad one from either.
