Unexplained Mysteries of the Ancient World: Extraordinary Enigmas from History by William PotterMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Narrated by Matt Bates
Presented by Arcturus Digital Audio
A nice variety of mysteries from the ancient world, with plenty of tidbits to keep you thinking.
This was a fun listen, with a great variety of stories. Ancient history is quite fascinating to me, so it was fun to ponder these mysteries and consider my own conclusions.
A lot of them are unsolvable, given the nature, but it's fun to think about which historians might be onto something. It does grate a little that most of the stories end as inconclusive.
The narrator did a great job; fantastic pronunciation and even quoting sources there was such a difference of voice that I wondered if they'd actually gotten the source themself to record. But I think it was all the one talented narrator, so I'd happily listen to this fellow again.
I'd easily recommend this one for history fans looking to dig a little deeper into some interesting stories from the ancient past.
