And in Comedy Corner, we had the brilliant Dan Schreiber. Thank you, Dan. Thanks, Greg. To you, lovely listener, join me next time as we return to the classroom for another lesson from the past. But for now, I'm off to go and rewrite Aristotle's lost volume on comedy. I think it's mostly to do with bums. Bye!

Hallo und willkommen zu You're Dead to Me, dem Radio 4 Comedy-Podcast, der die Geschichte ernst nimmt. Mein Name ist Greg Jenner, ich bin ein öffentlicher Historiker, Autor und Broadcaster. Und heute gehen wir zurück in die Bronze-Zeit und fahren den Indus-River, um alles über die Archäologie von Toiletten, Terrakotta, Ornithenien und sogar Unikornen zu lernen. Ja, es ist die Indus-Zivilisation.

Und um uns diese gerettete Geschichte zu entdecken, haben wir zwei sehr besondere Gäste mit uns. In History slash Archaeology Corner. She's a postdoctoral fellow at University of Cambridge Museums and postdoctoral research associate at Pembroke College, Cambridge. Her research includes the archaeology of the Indus Civilization of South Asia, as well as empire and race in museum collections.

I'm excited to dig in. Oh, an archaeology pun. Well done. Congratulations. Secret handshake for you. And in Comedy Corner, he's a stand-up comedian, writer and podcast regular. You might have seen his stand-up special Dots on HBO Max or heard him on Radio 4 or seen him on Mock the Week or Have Got News for You or Live at the Apollo or MASH Report.

He's very busy and you'll definitely remember him from our Julius Caesar episode. It's Ahir Shah.

Heute gehen wir weit zurück in das alte Vergangenheit, also weit über Julius Caesar, um ein Thema mit viel niedrigerer Namenwahrnehmung zu erforschen. Was weißt du über die Indische Zivilisation, Ahir?

Great! Well, that brings us to the first segment of the podcast, the So What Do You Know? This is where I have a go at guessing what you, our lovely listener, might know about today's subject. And I'll bet you've heard of Troy, the subject of Homer's epic poem, The Iliad, as well as the slightly dodgy film with Brad Pitt.

And we've previously regaled you about the glories of Ramesses the Great and ancient Egypt and the New Kingdom and all that. But these mighty cities came centuries after the Indus people were doing their thing. And yet, the Indus civilization doesn't get anywhere near as much coverage in modern films or books or television or whatever.
