Hi All. Just a quick note to say there's no Assassins Creed stream tonight. Everything is fine but the toddler was up in the middle of the night and I am, as the Brits say, knackered. Next stream will be the premiere this upcoming weekend. Have a good week and see you then!

Come along to see what it's REALLY like on a dig, do you find anything? What about if the weather is bad? The answers to these and more are in the video! See you in the chat!

Yesterday this channel hit the 100K subscribers mark. Wow, you guys, this was my goal for the END of 2026, to hit it 3 months early is amazing! I think it's rather fitting that next week I will be going on my first dig in a wee while with ‪@Digventures‬ , a social enterprise organising crowdfunded archaeological excavation experiences. I'm going to be filming my time there digging and (weather and site depending) potentially filming my August discoveries video IN THE FIELD, how cool will that be? When I'm back I'll set up a 100K celebration stream so keep your eyes peeled for that. What kind of field content you would be interested in: a vlog? Interviews? Timelapses? Trowel shots? Let me know your ideas in the comments. Bonus pic of me as a baby archaeologist on a mock dig at undergrad unaware of where this career would take me!

The SEA of Odyssey content on YT got me thinking about Homer's Ithaca and after some digging I came across 3 main theories about where it might be: modern Ithaca, Kefalonia, or Homer's imagination. Watch my latest video tomorrow to learn about all 3 hypotheses and see what the archaeological and historical evidence does or does support. Featuring a guest appearance by Greek archaeology expert ‪@FlintDibble‬ who has actually read the Odyssey in the original Greek (unlike me).

Also the premiere and following livestream will probably end up being when I hit 100K subscribers, so at least come along to celebrate. See you in the chat!

Inside Archaeology

Princess Ita of Egypt was the daughter of King Amenemhat II of the 12th Dynasty. 3800 years ago, she died between the ages of 20 and 34 and was buried in the pyramid complex of her father in a decorated wooden coffin. Long religious texts including her name were written on it and inside with her body were a set of precious personal adornments, royal insignia and weapons, including this richly adorned bronze dagger. Recent re-examination of her bones has found several musculoskeletal stress markers that may signal that she spent a lot of time gripping something tightly, like her dagger. Together with similar results from the skeletons of her 4 other female relatives, this has led researchers to think that Middle Kingdom princesses were potentially trained in the arts of war or hunting. I covered this GROUNDBREAKING discovery in my latest video, watch the whole thing if you want to learn more about it:
