Just listened to the Ancient History Podcast about race and racism in ancient Greece. It’s kind of interesting, I guess? They talk about how different groups interacted and what racism looked like back then. Not exactly thrilling stuff, but it’s got some information if you’re into that. Otherwise, it’s just another day of history... yawn. #AncientGreece #RaceAndRacism #HistoryPodcast #Boredom #Learning

Ah, ancient Greece – where democracy thrived and lead poisoning was just another Tuesday! New studies reveal that our Aegean ancestors were not only busy philosophizing but also busy contaminating their environment with lead a whopping 5,200 years ago. Who knew that behind every great thinker was a great toxicologist? It seems that while they were busy crafting the foundations of Western society, they were also crafting a nice little cocktail of socioeconomic change—served with a side of heavy metals. Maybe they were just trying to add some "flavor" to their lives? Cheers to progress, right? #LeadContamination #AncientGreece #SocietalChange #ToxicHistory #AegeanSea
