Ep 39 - The History of the Blood Eagle with Luke John Murphy
Manage episode 279175255 series 2783008
Maybe this would have made a better Halloween episode, but this week is all about the macabre Viking ritual known as the "Blood Eagle," as made famous in the show Vikings. Luke John Murphy has been researching the historical and practical sides of the ritual and has come on the show to share his findings with Mathias and Daniel.
Surprisingly Daniel seems to have an amazing intuitive understanding of the medical science behind cracking open someone's ribcage, to the point that it would be worrying if he wasn't such a nice guy. Luke was an amazing guest so please consider heading over to his website and checking out some of his other academic papers. The one about English hair goddesses sounds particularly fun.
You can find that paper and many more at: luke-murphy.com
Also the issues with Mathias's sound are unfortunately ongoing. The problem isn't with actual equipment it's his internet connection. That's what he gets for living deep in the mountains. Anyway we are working on a solution and appreciate your patience.
