Iranian artifacts buried in a Viking grave in ancient Britain 500 years after they were made. An Egyptian time machine. An exquisite Greek goblet so homo-erotically explicit it was banned from the US. And a remarkable carving of swimming reindeer that lets us see inside the mind of early humans as they discovered art.
That’s just a handful of the treasures brought to light in the on-going BBC Radio 4 seriesA history of the world in 100 Objects, which ought to be mandatory for Weearthers because it so often surprises us with reminders of just how small and interlinked this planet and its people actually are and the specialness and vibrancy the human spirit.

Tragic and unnecessary though the Gulf of Mexico spill may be, it’s enormity has yet to meet a far greater environmental tragedy that impinges on the safety and security of a significant part of the United States. Indeed for the Louisiana wetlands, the spill may be a blessing.
The figures are grim. Since the 1930s some 2,ooo square miles have been lost. Each year around 34 square miles of the wetlands disappear. Towns, communities, habitats are vanishing at a scary rate.
Look at your watch. In the next 45 minutes an area the size of a football field will be gone. Forever.
Says S. Jeffress Williams of theU.S. Geological…
