This week, three short tales of Medieval and Ancient people who - through circumstances way beyond their control - found themselves transported beyond the furthest extent of (to them at least) the known world. This episode we discuss Du Huan, Guillaume Boucher and Crassus’ lost Legion.         

Sources this week (sorry all, will need to work back through this. 2/3 of this episode comes from OLD blog posts. However I’m definitely drawing from):

The Golden Rhinoceros by Francois-Xavier Fauvelle

The Silk Roads by Peter Frankopan

Genghis Khan and The Making of The Modern World by Jack Weatherford

(And a bunch of articles on the Academia and Jstor databases I’ll link to later)
