In this subscriber episode of the Ancients we're trying out something new. It is the first of a series of special episodes in which Tristan Hughes picks out his favourite moments from the many interviews in the Ancients archive. From arguments and theories that have left him truly convinced or mind-blowing facts that stick out as completely extraordinary.
Today he has picked out a part of his interview with Peter Swanton from The First Astronomers that delves into the four key constellations used by indigenous Australians to master astronomy and what significance these constellations had on their way of life.
If you have any suggestions for more moments that Tristan could cover, or any favourite interviews you want to hear again then please get in touch at theancients@historyhit.com.
This episode was produced by Joseph Knight and edited by Aidan Lonergan.
