What if the catastrophic Bronze Age collapse had never happened? What if civilisations like the Mycenaeans and the Hittites survived to rewrite history?
As we launch an exclusive new format for our subscribers: What If? Tristan Hughes is joined by a very special guest—the one and only Dan Snow—for a fun, fascinating counterfactual conversation. From immortal kings to the true identity of the Sea Peoples, Dan and Tristan go down some serious historical rabbit holes as they war game a completely different ancient world.
