1 00:00:01,280 --> 00:00:04,320 Speaker 1: Welcome to Stuff you missed in History Class A production 2 00:00:04,360 --> 00:00:14,160 Speaker 1: of I Heart Radio Happy Friday. I'm Tracy V. Wilson, 3 00:00:14,720 --> 00:00:17,520 Speaker 1: so sing songy, I'm Holly Fry. I don't know why 4 00:00:17,560 --> 00:00:19,279 Speaker 1: I felt like I needed to sing a song. Maybe 5 00:00:19,280 --> 00:00:22,560 Speaker 1: because it's Friday. I don't love it. Friday feels the 6 00:00:22,600 --> 00:00:28,360 Speaker 1: same as all the other days, So I don't know. Uh. 7 00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:33,519 Speaker 1: We did our Unearthed for the Fall this week, UM, 8 00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:37,880 Speaker 1: which I went into it, UH expecting to only find 9 00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:40,320 Speaker 1: enough stuff for one episode, because that was what happened 10 00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:43,159 Speaker 1: last time, And instead I once again had enough for 11 00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:48,279 Speaker 1: two episodes and then had a list of things that 12 00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:52,479 Speaker 1: didn't make it in. UM. Did you have a favorite 13 00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:55,920 Speaker 1: out of this one? I loved the ridiculousness of the 14 00:00:55,960 --> 00:01:01,639 Speaker 1: Warren Harding exhumation story. UM. Like the way that some 15 00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:04,560 Speaker 1: of the some of the coverage of that red was 16 00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:10,320 Speaker 1: also clearly kind of amused. There was one article that 17 00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:13,880 Speaker 1: had made made no reference whatsoever of the possibility of 18 00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:17,120 Speaker 1: it being on television, and then the next one that 19 00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:19,480 Speaker 1: I read was very focused on the idea that it 20 00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:23,240 Speaker 1: might be on television, and how kind of needlessly absurd 21 00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:27,720 Speaker 1: that was. UM. Warren Jy Harding's burial place is not like, 22 00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:31,120 Speaker 1: you know, just a cemetery where you might just go 23 00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:33,959 Speaker 1: in there and and dig out a coffin like it's 24 00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:36,640 Speaker 1: a whole. It's a whole tomb, like it's a whole 25 00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:40,400 Speaker 1: process would be a whole thing. So we'll see, we'll 26 00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:46,399 Speaker 1: see how that goes. I um, I withheld my Star 27 00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:51,080 Speaker 1: Wars insertion. Okay during this segment where we talked about 28 00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:55,680 Speaker 1: Viking being a job and not a race or ethnicity, 29 00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:59,120 Speaker 1: because it reminded me of the moment during season one 30 00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:01,520 Speaker 1: of The Mandalorian, which we have just started season two on, 31 00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:09,639 Speaker 1: when it is said it's a creed, not a race. Yes. Yeah, 32 00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:12,760 Speaker 1: it has been very confusing in the Star Wars community 33 00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:17,520 Speaker 1: as well as real life for many people. Um, but 34 00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:19,959 Speaker 1: I loved it. I also really loved the one about 35 00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:22,400 Speaker 1: the Viking helmet that everybody called a Viking helmet, and 36 00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:24,960 Speaker 1: it's a strange relief that it was in fact a 37 00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:28,600 Speaker 1: Viking helmet. Yeah, it was really the Viking helmet. Uh, 38 00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:31,359 Speaker 1: not like when I was a child and so I 39 00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:33,440 Speaker 1: grew up. I've said this before. Kind of out in 40 00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:37,080 Speaker 1: the country, it's less it's less remote than it was 41 00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:39,520 Speaker 1: when I was a kid. Um, but you know, we 42 00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:45,040 Speaker 1: were surrounded by farmland and pasture land and um. And 43 00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:48,239 Speaker 1: there were other houses, but there was a lot that 44 00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:52,760 Speaker 1: was more rural. Um. And I remember finding a cow 45 00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:57,280 Speaker 1: skull in the woods and just being sure it was 46 00:02:57,320 --> 00:03:01,880 Speaker 1: a dinosaur because I was five. Um, so I'm glad 47 00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:04,440 Speaker 1: that the spiking helmet was not the cow skull that's 48 00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:08,840 Speaker 1: really a dinosaur. Yeah. You know, well, and that's one 49 00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:12,960 Speaker 1: of those things, right, I feel like, Um. In this case, obviously, 50 00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:15,359 Speaker 1: it's been tracked in terms of like people calling it 51 00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:18,120 Speaker 1: the Viking helmet and then then finally doing this, But 52 00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:21,000 Speaker 1: there are so many instances that I find myself wondering 53 00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:23,520 Speaker 1: about when we're doing research and we come across something 54 00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:26,960 Speaker 1: and it's like, well everyone said it was this, so 55 00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:30,359 Speaker 1: it was that, And it's like, um, well maybe, but 56 00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:33,360 Speaker 1: people pick up a helmet and go Viking helmet without 57 00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:37,680 Speaker 1: any other information whatsoever. So I was like, oh, this 58 00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:43,920 Speaker 1: one worked out. Yeah. Yeah. One of the things that 59 00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:47,320 Speaker 1: I came across while I was doing the research for 60 00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:50,400 Speaker 1: this that I did not wind up putting in was 61 00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:57,840 Speaker 1: a thing about whether the Norman conquest affected people's diets. 62 00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:01,240 Speaker 1: Because we know that the norm and Conquest affected all 63 00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:05,760 Speaker 1: kinds of things, and this had looked at, I think 64 00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:09,640 Speaker 1: isotope analysis to figure out how people's diets had changed. 65 00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:12,280 Speaker 1: And the reason that I did not put it into 66 00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:16,040 Speaker 1: the episode was that one of the articles was like, 67 00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:23,800 Speaker 1: study shows Norman Conquest radically changed the diets of the British, 68 00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:27,599 Speaker 1: and then the other article was like, study shows Norman 69 00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:30,839 Speaker 1: Conquest didn't affect diet of British much at all, And 70 00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:37,679 Speaker 1: I was like, wait, okay, I can read the original paper, 71 00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:42,080 Speaker 1: but also like it's a little more technical than I 72 00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:46,800 Speaker 1: can really be the person authoritatively resolving those two headlines. Right, 73 00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:54,360 Speaker 1: did you accidentally stumble upon a scholarly rivalry? Maybe so? 74 00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:59,000 Speaker 1: Um so it's I don't know how long it's been 75 00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:00,919 Speaker 1: since the last time I talked about how how I 76 00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:02,960 Speaker 1: do this. I have a bunch of RSS feeds that 77 00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:06,960 Speaker 1: I look at ideally on a regular basis. Sometimes time 78 00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:09,760 Speaker 1: passes and I go, oh, no, I have four articles 79 00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:12,640 Speaker 1: to look at. But I have all these RSS feeds, 80 00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:15,719 Speaker 1: and one of them is to a thing called Eurek Alert, 81 00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:19,960 Speaker 1: which is where people publish their press releases about their findings. 82 00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:24,680 Speaker 1: And every time there is a thing like it's the 83 00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:29,080 Speaker 1: Eurek Alert section of my stuff, and it's got more 84 00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:33,200 Speaker 1: than one paper about what is obviously the same study. 85 00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:36,200 Speaker 1: I always like to imagine that there was a huge 86 00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:40,360 Speaker 1: dramatic fight between the two teams of researchers and each 87 00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:45,520 Speaker 1: of them saying I'm gonna do my own release. Then look, 88 00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:47,919 Speaker 1: we've seen it happen a million times when we do 89 00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:51,040 Speaker 1: the podcast. It comes up all the time, particularly in 90 00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:55,359 Speaker 1: our scientific episodes. So I think you're completely justified in 91 00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:58,960 Speaker 1: that little scholarly fan fiction. Yes, if nothing else, it 92 00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:01,880 Speaker 1: is a way I can amuse myself sometimes while I 93 00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:05,760 Speaker 1: am reading through lots and lots of articles. That's perfection 94 00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:12,400 Speaker 1: um Viking helmet. Ah. Yeah, it made me laugh. That 95 00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:15,120 Speaker 1: a thing on October one, she felt you had to 96 00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:23,960 Speaker 1: defend as being part of part of the Q considering 97 00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:29,000 Speaker 1: that this whole thing is my completely artificial construction of 98 00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:33,839 Speaker 1: unearthed prison. And then I arrest you. Tracy has unearthed 99 00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:38,240 Speaker 1: time out. She's she's in big trouble, you guys. She 100 00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:44,040 Speaker 1: included something from One Day after one Quarter. Well. Another 101 00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:47,320 Speaker 1: thing that was funny is that the thing that we 102 00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:50,120 Speaker 1: ended part two with was the latest discovery of a 103 00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:54,159 Speaker 1: sword in a lake and literally. This morning there was 104 00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:57,520 Speaker 1: another article about another sword being pulled out of another lake, 105 00:06:57,560 --> 00:07:01,200 Speaker 1: but this time by a what appeared to be a small, 106 00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:07,680 Speaker 1: winsome child. So that gets the it's the child discovering 107 00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:12,200 Speaker 1: the sword. You know, if I ever become like a 108 00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:17,080 Speaker 1: crazy cajillionaire, huh, I think I'm just going to start 109 00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:21,720 Speaker 1: planting swords in lakes for future generations. I think that's 110 00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:25,200 Speaker 1: where some chunk of my mad money is going to 111 00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:30,720 Speaker 1: be appropriated. Sounds good. Yeah, I mean I'll have to 112 00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:35,360 Speaker 1: go through a million different like um steps to make sure. 113 00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:37,840 Speaker 1: It would be really hard to trace it back to me, 114 00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:40,920 Speaker 1: because I don't want anyone to ever solve the mystery 115 00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:43,760 Speaker 1: of this specific kind of sword and why it's found 116 00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:48,520 Speaker 1: the world over in lakes. Just that's my plan if 117 00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:52,760 Speaker 1: I've become a kajillionaire one day. Sounds good. It sounds 118 00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:57,000 Speaker 1: like a plan. It seems like a good place to 119 00:07:57,000 --> 00:07:58,960 Speaker 1: wrap our behind the scenes. I feel like we are 120 00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:02,600 Speaker 1: a little punchier than usual this week. It's been kind 121 00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:07,520 Speaker 1: of a kind of a time anyway. Yeah, you'd like 122 00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:09,680 Speaker 1: to write to us, We're in history podcast that I 123 00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:11,920 Speaker 1: heart radio dot Com.
