1 00:00:01,320 --> 00:00:04,280 Speaker 1: Welcome to Stuff You Missed in History Class, a production 2 00:00:04,400 --> 00:00:14,520 Speaker 1: of iHeartRadio, Hello and Happy Friday. I'm Tracy B. Wilson 3 00:00:14,720 --> 00:00:19,000 Speaker 1: and I'm Holly Frye. Just had our latest unearthed. Yes. Indeed, 4 00:00:21,360 --> 00:00:24,640 Speaker 1: while I was working on this, one of the things 5 00:00:24,680 --> 00:00:27,960 Speaker 1: that we talked about was this child who found a 6 00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:33,400 Speaker 1: dagger on the playground. There is one photo of this 7 00:00:33,560 --> 00:00:36,320 Speaker 1: child that has been used in all of the news 8 00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:43,200 Speaker 1: reporting about this, and I sincerely, sincerely hoped that this 9 00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:47,199 Speaker 1: child is not now and is never embarrassed about this 10 00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:50,360 Speaker 1: photo and in fact finds it to be awesome. I 11 00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:55,720 Speaker 1: find it awesome. The expression, like the facial expression is 12 00:00:56,000 --> 00:01:03,040 Speaker 1: very much I do not want to be here, and 13 00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:07,480 Speaker 1: I found it delightful my read she looks very much 14 00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:09,520 Speaker 1: like she has had it with all the ding dongs 15 00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:12,560 Speaker 1: clustering around her trying to talk about a thing when 16 00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:15,800 Speaker 1: she's like, can I go play now? Right? Yeah, that's 17 00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:23,720 Speaker 1: it's a great picture. So as it's often the case, 18 00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:27,479 Speaker 1: there's often trends in the things that I'm finding when 19 00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:30,560 Speaker 1: I'm doing the research on this. We have previously talked 20 00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:33,520 Speaker 1: about how we don't really cover coin hoards on here 21 00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:35,240 Speaker 1: because there are so many of them, and they are 22 00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:38,160 Speaker 1: often so similar, and so we really only talk about 23 00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:40,960 Speaker 1: a coin hoard if there is something unique or distinctive 24 00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:44,039 Speaker 1: or important about it. I mean, you can say all 25 00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:46,760 Speaker 1: findes are important. But like the one time that we 26 00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:51,000 Speaker 1: read off all of the coin hoard finds of that quarter, 27 00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:56,800 Speaker 1: it was a lot of them. This time Roman stuff. 28 00:01:56,920 --> 00:02:01,600 Speaker 1: We talked about a number of Roman things. But one 29 00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:04,600 Speaker 1: of the things about Rome is that the Roman Empire 30 00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:08,680 Speaker 1: was very big and they built a lot of stuff, 31 00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:12,280 Speaker 1: and so there's a lot of Roman stuff getting dug 32 00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:16,000 Speaker 1: up all the time. And in addition to the Roman 33 00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:19,799 Speaker 1: things that we talked about, here are things from the 34 00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:25,400 Speaker 1: document entitled Summer Unearthed twenty twenty three. Maybe some of 35 00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:27,280 Speaker 1: these things that I'm about to read off may be 36 00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:32,040 Speaker 1: the same thing, because I did not get into further 37 00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:36,000 Speaker 1: research into all of these. But here we go. Roman 38 00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:40,440 Speaker 1: mosaic under Aldi really from March question mark, Roman mosaic 39 00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:45,200 Speaker 1: under a vape shop, Other Roman pieces, a Roman site 40 00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:49,240 Speaker 1: under a train station, heads in a Roman bathhouse, Roman 41 00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:53,960 Speaker 1: butcher shop, Roman tweezers, OMG so much Roman this time 42 00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:59,160 Speaker 1: coins near a train Roman, more stacked Roman mosaics, flat 43 00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:02,359 Speaker 1: faced dogs question mark This was about how Romans may 44 00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:06,600 Speaker 1: have bred dogs with flat faces. Roman temple in France, 45 00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:11,120 Speaker 1: Roman camps in Saudi Arabia, question mark Roman barrier, London, 46 00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:17,119 Speaker 1: Roman perfume, and Roman amphora Virgil quote. So what you're 47 00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:20,000 Speaker 1: saying is a lot of Roman stuff, so much Roman stuff, 48 00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:21,680 Speaker 1: and some of those things. As I just read through 49 00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:23,520 Speaker 1: all of them, I was like, oh, that does sound interesting. 50 00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:25,640 Speaker 1: I should have put that in there, Like the perfume. 51 00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:32,359 Speaker 1: Perfume it turns out made of pachuli Roman hippies. There 52 00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:35,040 Speaker 1: was just so much, and you can tell from my 53 00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:37,360 Speaker 1: tone as I was just because I make this list 54 00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:42,040 Speaker 1: that's just like a few words and a link. As 55 00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:44,400 Speaker 1: I'm going through and there's stuff that I'm like not sure, 56 00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:47,120 Speaker 1: and then as I get later into the process, I 57 00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:51,360 Speaker 1: like go back through the notcher stuff to find more 58 00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:55,480 Speaker 1: things than there was just so much stuff, not just Roman, 59 00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:58,360 Speaker 1: but things that were described as a Roman whatever found 60 00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:03,400 Speaker 1: in whatever of them, a ton of them. The listener 61 00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:08,000 Speaker 1: mail that you read on the first installment that talked 62 00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:14,120 Speaker 1: about spelling bees, uh huh, unlocked and memory. For me 63 00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:18,279 Speaker 1: that was like, you know how they're like, I don't know, 64 00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:23,039 Speaker 1: I presume everyone has these like moments of childhood embarrassment 65 00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:27,159 Speaker 1: or shame that you just lock away in you. And 66 00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:29,080 Speaker 1: this is a weird one because it was during a 67 00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:33,359 Speaker 1: spelling bee after I had moved from the Pacific Northwest 68 00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:38,520 Speaker 1: to the Panhandle of Florida, and when it was my turn, 69 00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:44,039 Speaker 1: the word was meant am I and tea easy as pie? 70 00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:48,960 Speaker 1: Did they say it mean't? No, what they meant was meant, 71 00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:52,719 Speaker 1: but their Southern accent was something I did not understand. Oh, 72 00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:56,520 Speaker 1: and so I was so embarrassed that I missed it, 73 00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:58,919 Speaker 1: and I felt like the stupidest child on earth that 74 00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:02,400 Speaker 1: I missed what was a thing. And I also had 75 00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:05,240 Speaker 1: the combined thing of wishing that I had challenged it, 76 00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:07,599 Speaker 1: but I didn't want to make anybody mad by going, 77 00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:10,760 Speaker 1: I don't understand your accent. And I was like, it 78 00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:12,200 Speaker 1: was like one of those things that like I had 79 00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:17,400 Speaker 1: a movie like, ohback, It's funny. Now because I'm an adult, 80 00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:20,440 Speaker 1: I'm like, who cares? But at the time I remember 81 00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:27,680 Speaker 1: just being heartbroken. Men. Yeah, So the memory I had 82 00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:33,200 Speaker 1: in response to this email was a unit in the classroom. 83 00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:35,680 Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure what we were talking about was long 84 00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:39,720 Speaker 1: vowels and short vowels, and we had a little worksheet 85 00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:42,520 Speaker 1: we were having to note which vowels were the long 86 00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:47,719 Speaker 1: vowels and which vowels were the short vowels. And one 87 00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:51,599 Speaker 1: of the words was ether. And this would have been 88 00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:57,440 Speaker 1: like elementary school. I had never heard the word ether 89 00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:02,400 Speaker 1: at that I'm not. I don't know. That doesn't seem 90 00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:04,920 Speaker 1: like a word that would be I feel like, had 91 00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:09,760 Speaker 1: I been of an earlier generation, I might have heard 92 00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:13,400 Speaker 1: the word ether in conjunction with having my tonsils removed 93 00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:16,160 Speaker 1: or something. But I don't feel like that was a 94 00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:20,400 Speaker 1: word that was like in common usage among children at 95 00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:27,160 Speaker 1: this point. So I sounded it out as ether because 96 00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:30,480 Speaker 1: that seems logical, as he seems fine. Uh. And I 97 00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:33,080 Speaker 1: remember the teacher being like have you do you not 98 00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:39,320 Speaker 1: know what ether is? And I was like, no things, 99 00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:45,200 Speaker 1: I still remember decades a weirdness. Uh yeah. Do not 100 00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:47,440 Speaker 1: feel bad for sending us an email that caused us 101 00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:52,200 Speaker 1: to both remember childhood embarrassments. No, I mean, listen, everybody 102 00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:56,160 Speaker 1: has childhood embarrassments. We're all in it together. I actually 103 00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:58,800 Speaker 1: think it's great to unlock them and discuss them, because 104 00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:01,680 Speaker 1: then you realize, like, that's a completely normal mistake to 105 00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:04,839 Speaker 1: make the thing that you carried around and felt embarrassed 106 00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:08,880 Speaker 1: and ashamed of is not important most of the time, 107 00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:12,120 Speaker 1: and show was completely reasonable for you to have done. 108 00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:17,560 Speaker 1: You're dead, that's es yep, yep. And you know I 109 00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:21,600 Speaker 1: was real good at sounding stuff out. I'd been doing 110 00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:37,240 Speaker 1: it since I was like four, So yeah. Yeah. Also 111 00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:40,640 Speaker 1: like a chance to give another babies PSA. Every time 112 00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:43,559 Speaker 1: that I look at social media and suddenly there's people 113 00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:47,320 Speaker 1: talking about rabies, I'm like, oh, what happened? I thought 114 00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:49,200 Speaker 1: you were about to call me out for posting all 115 00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:54,400 Speaker 1: the raccoons I lued to. I thought, so I feel 116 00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:58,360 Speaker 1: like you, you know about rabies and if I'm not, yeah, 117 00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:01,440 Speaker 1: are they cute? Do I want to kiss them? Yes? 118 00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:06,840 Speaker 1: Am I going to? No? Yeah? There are sometimes the 119 00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:11,880 Speaker 1: TikTok algorithm will show me something that frankly stresses me out, 120 00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:15,400 Speaker 1: and one of them is like, like people out in 121 00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:19,640 Speaker 1: their yards kind of socializing with the raccoons, and I'm like, rabies. 122 00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:25,120 Speaker 1: There was one recently that was somebody recording from their 123 00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:31,200 Speaker 1: porch a mother bear and cubs coming onto the porch, 124 00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:36,400 Speaker 1: I'll say you and I was, I said out loud, 125 00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:44,520 Speaker 1: what are you doing again? Perfectly reasonable? Yeah, In addition 126 00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:48,080 Speaker 1: to the fact that like, it's not advisable to like 127 00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:52,920 Speaker 1: potentially get in between a mother bear and cubs. Not 128 00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:57,160 Speaker 1: a great idea. Also not great to habituate bears to 129 00:08:57,360 --> 00:09:00,720 Speaker 1: human beings. No, not a good plan. And it was 130 00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:03,360 Speaker 1: clear that this person had been advised of this by 131 00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:06,040 Speaker 1: many people because they had disabled all of their comments. 132 00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:11,040 Speaker 1: So anyway, don't pet raccoons, don't hang out with bears. 133 00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:13,240 Speaker 1: If you get bitten by an animal that's at risk 134 00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:18,160 Speaker 1: for rabies, seek medical care. Yeah, those are some PSAs 135 00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:26,080 Speaker 1: for the day. These these episodes continue to be fun. 136 00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:29,840 Speaker 1: I hope folks continue to enjoy them. I had some 137 00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:33,679 Speaker 1: rabbit holes this time about how to pronounce things, and 138 00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:36,120 Speaker 1: I hope we did okay with all of the pronouncing. 139 00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:41,439 Speaker 1: As always, we do our best, and then sometimes we're 140 00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:43,000 Speaker 1: in the middle of talking about it and it's like, 141 00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:46,800 Speaker 1: wait a minute, what what did Which of these is correct? 142 00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:49,880 Speaker 1: I'm not sure anymore? Yeah? Oh, I also wrote a 143 00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:52,400 Speaker 1: couple of things in this one, where as as we read, 144 00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:55,680 Speaker 1: as we you know, recorded the episode out loud, I 145 00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:57,240 Speaker 1: was suddenly like, wait a minute, that thing that I 146 00:09:57,280 --> 00:10:01,240 Speaker 1: wrote does not make any that happens all the time. 147 00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:03,440 Speaker 1: I made you do a pickup recently because I wrote 148 00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:05,840 Speaker 1: a phrase it made no sense and we didn't catch 149 00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:08,680 Speaker 1: it in recording, and then in Jay I was like, 150 00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:11,440 Speaker 1: why would anybody put it that way? And that was 151 00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:13,480 Speaker 1: exactly you read it exactly as I had written it. 152 00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:18,360 Speaker 1: I Holly Fry complete ding dong. It reminds me of 153 00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:23,319 Speaker 1: when our jobs were editing text that would be articles 154 00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:27,000 Speaker 1: on the web that people would read and like. One 155 00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:29,480 Speaker 1: of the things that I would give as advice about, 156 00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:32,959 Speaker 1: you know, training new editors was to read the work 157 00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:35,400 Speaker 1: out loud because you will catch things that you would 158 00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:42,559 Speaker 1: not catch otherwise. And that continues to be true now 159 00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:47,679 Speaker 1: that we write things that then we read into a microphone. Yes, 160 00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:51,640 Speaker 1: because the brain will auto correct writing, sure will, but 161 00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:54,319 Speaker 1: if you get your ears involved too, they will usually 162 00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:57,520 Speaker 1: be like, that doesn't sound quite right, does not make sense. No, 163 00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:02,280 Speaker 1: that's not the word you thought that you typed there. Anyway, 164 00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:07,000 Speaker 1: I hope whatever is happening on this weekend, whether it 165 00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:10,800 Speaker 1: is working time for you or off time, I hope 166 00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:14,200 Speaker 1: it goes as well as possible.
