What do James Clear, Jared Diamond, Cleopatra, and Patrick Swayze’s ghost have in common? Apparently, the Agricultural Revolution.

In this episode, I, Eric Lampaert, dive balls-deep into humanity’s leap from chasing chickens and eating mystery berries to planting seeds, building cities, and discovering pottery – the ancient equivalent of Tupperware. Guided by Civilization VI (yes, the video game), we’ll explore how farming and food surplus transformed scattered tribes into booming civilisations, birthed new roles from farmers to shamans, and, somehow, led to wet t-shirt contests.

This is history, chaos, comedy, and curiosity blended into one, with quotes from authors, scholars, and the occasional ghostly crooner.

Time to till the soil, fire up the kiln, and see how humans went from farms… to Pharaohs.
