Have you ever heard a "fact" and thought, wow that's really interesting? Maybe you heard something and thought it was so enjoyable to know that you have repeated it yourself. How do you know it's true? Join Peter and Russell as we take a look at some of the famous facts that people have been told that have turned out to be untrue. Why did we believe them in the first place? Where did they come from? and how do we know that they're not true?

In our third and final week looking at great unsolved mysteries Peter and Russell visit the Antikythera Mechanism. This complex analogue computer could predict astronomical positions and eclipses decades in advance. Then off to Peru and the mystery of the Nazca Lines. Why would people carve 70 different images into the Earth? Was this a way to communicate? Who would have done it? Join us as we talk about another two great mysteries.

Welcome back, wonder-seekers! As Peter and Russell dive into Part 2 of our exploration of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, get ready to embark on a journey through history that promises to be as exhilarating as it is enlightening. Last time, we marvelled at the grandeur of the Great Pyramid of Giza and the mystique of the Hanging Gardens of Babylon. Today, we’re turning our gaze to even more awe-inspiring feats of ancient engineering and artistry.

Picture yourself wandering through the majestic temples of Artemis at Ephesus, or standing in the shadow of the colossal statue of Zeus at Olympia, or marvelling at the Mausoleum at Halicarnassus, feeling the weight of history in every stone and sculpture. Peter and Russell will uncover the stories behind these legendary wonders, revealing the brilliance and ambition that drove their creation and their eventual downfall. 

So, grab your explorer’s hat and let your imagination soar as Peter and Russell continue our odyssey through these extraordinary marvels. The adventure is far from over — let’s dive in and discover what makes these ancient wonders truly unforgettable!
