On Episode 97 of The TLB Podcast, James speaks with Doireann Herold (TikTok: @blesst_butt) about a fresh take on ancient sites like Stonehenge, Newgrange, and Göbekli Tepe. They explore how these monuments may have had functional purposes—such as food preservation and community gathering—beyond ceremonial use. The discussion also connects ancient food production methods across cultures, including Kivas in the Americas and the pyramids of Egypt.Support the ShowEarly access on Patreon → https://tinyurl.com/mva2z9seAudio-only on Spotify → https://tinyurl.com/ytfnwx6sConnect with Doireann HeroldTikTok → https://www.tiktok.com/@blesst_butt***Special Shoutout***Instagram → https://www.instagram.com/slice_ofhopeCHAPTERS00:00 - Introduction to Ancient Sites and Their Uses06:07 - Exploring Stonehenge: More Than Just Stones38:46 - The Significance of Newgrange52:04 - Unraveling Gobekli Tepe: A New Perspective01:01:30 - The Role of CO2 in Meat Preservation01:04:39 - Archaeological Insights into Gobekli Tepe01:10:27 - The Functionality of Enclosures and Structures01:17:39 - Cultural Connections: Kivas and Food Storage01:20:19 - Recontextualizing Ancient Structures01:25:23 - Exploring the Pyramids of Egypt01:39:08 - The Carol Pyramids: Agriculture and Environment01:52:06 - Lessons from the Past for Future Generations#ancientsites #Stonehenge #Newgrange #GöbekliTepe #archaeology #ancienthistory #food #ancientcivilizations #meatpreservation #ancientstructures #Egypt #foodproductionSupport the showPatreon Tiktok Instagram YouTube
