Hello, welcome to a special announcement by the History of Egypt podcast. Today I am announcing Syrian Tales, a charity fundraising initiative. The basic just is this. I have produced three episodes

documenting a variety of stories that emerge from Bronze Age Syria.

There are tales of politics and war of course, but there are also family dynamics difficult relationships there is diplomacy both

successful and failed there is trade across all the region and there is archaeology to

boot basically it's a smorgasboard of events and stories

that emerge from this part of the world in a specific area of time. I have done this with the help of some fellow podcasters and musicians in order to bring the

tales to life in a lively and interesting manner. Among the guest speakers who will appear in these

episodes are Robin Pearson of the history of

Byzantine, Ryan Stitt of the history of ancient Greece. Scott Chesworth of the

ancient world, Doug Metzger of literature and history, Kevin Stroud of the history of English, and

Drew Varunkemp of Wonders of the World.

Thanks to these gentlemen's efforts and a lot of research on my part, I have produced some

what I think genuinely exciting and fascinating stories from the ancient world of the Syrians. Now to access these episodes is very simple.

Why should you do this?

Well, 100% of all donations made for these episodes

will be given to the International Rescue Committee's fund. made for

helping to the International Rescue Committee's Fund for helping and protecting Syrian refugees.

There is a brutal political and military crisis going on in Syria right now. We all know that. But

sometimes it seems like helping is far beyond our ordinary capabilities.

Well, maybe this is a way forward.
