I read an article published in the New York Times back in the 1800s about a moirologists’ strike in Paris. This term for a professional mourner seems to be obsolete. What are some other titles for historical occupations that are now obsolete?
Do you think , in our lifetime, archaeologists will ever find more historical artifacts relating to the sea peoples? What would be the holy grail of finds in your mind?
Ohh nice! I’m not a paid sub, but I hope it’s ok to ask: what do you (personally) get out of learning, writing and talking about the ancient past? What’s something that you think is deeply misunderstood about (insert an ancient culture, place, period, personage, etc of your choice)?
Of course that is ok! And what a great set of questions here. Thank you for asking them. I will be sure to answer these in an upcoming podcast episode. :-)

Wow! That is a great question! I will try my best to cover it in the next video. In the interim, you can check out the first video here: https://www.diggingupthepast.net/p/video-ask-me-anything
Fun one, there are a lot of historical docuseries coming out lately, Alexander, Cleopatra, Ted Lasso. Who would you love to see highlighted next?
