Between a rock and a hard place in the Tropic of Cancer during 800-900CE

<p>Pete takes on a round-the-world challenge and finds himself between a rock and a hard place on the Tropic of Cancer. We discover the surprising product that rated alongside gold in value on the trans-Saharan trade routes and we meet a pair of travelling historians whose journeys took them from Africa to China. Also, learn how a failed rebellion can still bring down a dynasty, and find out how you might apply for your harlot’s license in 9th Century China.</p> <p> </p> <p>Chapters:</p> <p>00:00 Intro</p> <p>01:32 Orientation to The Tropic of Cancer</p> <p>16:07: History of The Tropic of Cancer</p> <p>18:34 Between a Rock and a Hard Place</p> <p>22:22 A Rocky Start</p> <p>31:10 Travelling the Tropic</p> <p>44:11 Rebellion in China</p> <p>50:43 Derzolation</p> <p>52:19 Outro</p> <p> </p> <p>Links:</p> <p>- Tropical Beach Music (<a href='https://t.ly/fdZ70'>https://t.ly/fdZ70</a>)</p> <p>- Video showing how the tropics and the sun relate (https://shorturl.at/GKZ38)</p> <p>- Unofficial flag for the Tropic of Cancer (https://shorturl.at/cuIL6)</p> <p>- Henry Miller’s Tropic of Cancer (https://shorturl.at/gjBFI)</p> <p>- 70s Cop Show Music (<a href='https://shorturl.at/adgTU'>https://shorturl.at/adgTU</a>)</p> <p> </p> <p>Contact:</p> <p>https://linktr.ee/hhepodcast</p> <p><a href='http://hhepodcast.com'>http://hhepodcast.com</a></p>
