How did that originate?

And a tremendous discovery was announced just last year that the place where it seems fire was invented was.

was Suffolk.

Well, you know, one of the things that makes history so fascinating is the kind of back and forth between sources to try and explain these great mysteries.

And you know what's built for that kind of thinking?

Claude is built for that way of thinking.

Hello, welcome back to The Rest Is History.

It is January 1534.

We're in Cusco, the capital of the Incas.
