Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Flames on the Palace Wall: A Lost Scene of Sogdian Fire Worship
Q: What does the appearance of the ribbon on the second priest suggest?

Flames on the Palace Wall: A Lost Scene of Sogdian Fire Worship
Q: What does the mural reveal about the Sogdian ritual itself?

Q: What were some of the big shifts they saw?
One of the most striking findings is this large-scale shift northward for population growth, a significant decline during the GS1 cold period, and varied regional responses to climate change.
