Ron Tester is back for a History Pop-Up. And it turns out we both spent the month reading about people dying of things nobody understood at the time.
Ron's been looking at the physician who worked out cholera came from the water, while the authorities determinedly ignored his findings. I've got an ancient language we can only trace from shared words we still use today.
Plus, we look at the history of paper + the shock of the Great Influenza.
Better still, the teeth of the ancient people who spoke it tell us how they moved + to an amazing degree how they spent their time.
Look for more History Pop-Ups roughly every month.
