  • The Forgotten Scientist Behind Every Pair of Glasses You've Ever Worn | The History of Glasses

    The Forgotten Scientist Behind Every Pair of Glasses You've Ever Worn | The History of Glasses
    Apr 17 2026
    Did we invent glasses, or did we invent the problem that makes us need them? 👓 From bone goggles carved by the Inuit 2,000 years ago to the forgotten woman scientist behind the lenses in your glasses right now, this is the history of eyeglasses, vision correction, and the myopia epidemic nobody is talking about. Nearly half the world struggles to see clearly. Screen time is changing our eyes. And the story of how we got here is way weirder than you think. In this episode, we cover: 👁️ The world's first corrective eyewear — made from bone, wood & ivory in the Arctic 👁️The 2,700-year-old Nimrud lens and what ancient Iraq knew about optics 👁️How a medieval Islamic scholar named Ibn al-Haytham cracked the science of human vision (while faking madness to survive his boss) 👁️The invention of reading glasses in 13th-century Italy — and why we don't know who made them 👁️Chinese judges who wore smoky quartz lenses in court to hide their reactions 👁️Benjamin Franklin, bifocals, and a very suspicious interest in "the views." 👁️Dr. Estelle Glancy — the brilliant woman whose 10 years of math changed optics forever, and whose name was left off the work 👁️Why 80–90% of young adults in parts of East Asia are now nearsighted — and what that means for the rest of us Whether you wear glasses, contacts, or you're considering laser eye surgery, this one will change how you see your own eyes.

  • Polianitsy Warrior Women: Myth, Misogyny, and the Evidence They Ignored

    Polianitsy Warrior Women: Myth, Misogyny, and the Evidence They Ignored
    Apr 10 2026
    Were warrior women real—or is that just a myth we’ve been told for centuries? From the legendary Amazons of Greek myth to the very real Scythian women warriors, history is filled with stories of women who fought in battle. But for years, many historians dismissed these accounts as folklore… until archaeology proved otherwise. In this episode, we uncover the truth behind the Polianitsy, explore the long-standing debate around female warriors in history, and reveal how archaeologists mistakenly identified women’s graves as male, hiding evidence of women fighters in plain sight. We also dive into: 🗡️ The real history behind Amazons and Scythian warriors 🗡️ Why warrior women were erased from history 🗡️ The shocking discovery that a large percentage of Scythian women were warriors 🗡️ New research showing women as hunters in prehistoric societies 🗡️ How modern bias shaped what we think we know about gender roles This is a story of hidden women’s history, archaeology, and the ongoing fight to reclaim the truth. If you love weird history, women’s history, and debunking historical myths, this episode is for you. ✨ Want more untold stories like this?
