Archipelago

Hmm.

In this book written by Finn, he's spoken primarily to the druids of the Archipelago, but the only other druids that, uh, that he's ever met were the ones in the Atlantic City, the mermaids.

And with stories from both of them, things that have been passed down, some of, some, a lot of information has just been lost to time.

But supposedly, the Radiant Circle had the strongest connections to the Fairens.

Thrace was conquered soon after, and Adrianople became the capital of the Turkish dominions in Europe until 1453, when Constantinople was taken and the Greek Empire came to an end.

During the next 30 years, the Turks made themselves masters of almost the whole of the Balkan Peninsula and of many of the islands in the Greek Archipelago.

Another non-Aryan people who established a kingdom in Europe were the Magyars or Huns, who from the 4th to the 10th centuries constantly attacked the Teutons until they were finally defeated on the Lech by the emperor Otto I, 955.

During the 10th century they became Christians, and in the year 1000 their duke Stephen was made a king by the pope.

I'm John Batchelor, continuing with Eric J. Dolan.

His new book is The Wreck of the Mentor, a whaling ship in the 1830s founds off the coast of what we call the Palau Archipelago, many hundreds of small islands.

It happens to found off of a larger island where there's a confederation at war with another confederation, and the crew is eventually caught up in this battle ongoing feud because it has weapons and powder and cutlasses and American and British know-how about fighting.

The driver here is geopolitics of the Palau Islands.

You go in all directions.

When we come back...

The rest of the story includes what happens in the 19th and 20th century, and now in the 21st, with the Archipelago of Palau.

The book is The Wreck of the Mentor.

Millais embraced unchecked development, calling AI an economic frontier that could massively boost global productivity.

In a follow-up to a report last week on the Malvinas dispute, tensions climbed further after the Archipelago's administration granted a five-year extension to all offshore drilling permits.

The decision, which British authorities back, allows operators like Israel's Navitas Petroleum and Britain's Rockhopper Exploration to push forward with their Sea Lion extraction project.

aiming to pump 50,000 barrels of crude per day by 2028.

It would take a long time to tell you why.

They were made up of many tribes and many small separate states, and when you hear in this book of Minyoi and Athenians and other such names, you must remember that they were all different tribes and peoples of the one great Hellenen race who lived in what we now call Greece, in the islands of the Archipelago, and along the coast of Asia Minor, Ionia as they call it, from the Hellespont to Rhodes, and had afterwards colonies and cities in Sicily and South Italy, which was called Great Greece, and along the shores of the Black Sea at Sinope and Kerch and at Sevastopol.

And after that again, they spread under Alexander the Great and conquered Egypt and Syria and Persia and the whole East.

But that was many hundred years after my stories, for then there were no Greeks on the Black Sea shores, nor in Sicily or Italy or anywhere but in Greece and in Ionia.

Yes, sir.

All right, so let's start with Sabody Archipelago.

That is how you say that, right?

Shabondy.

No, Archipelago.

That is actually, [laughs] that's what I'm asking you.

[laughs]

Is it hot?
