    Poor audio, video. The only saving Grace is the content.

    I worry that a significant amount of contemporary context is removed by modern historians who insert their moralistic ideals on historical events.
    Good talk, but after reading his book on this topic, I’m finding it hard not to question his contextual accuracy and biased (and frankly odd) white guilt.

      Im planning on buying his books also
      Not only for the purpose of finding some historical context
      but also cover ups that potentially cross over western academia in general

    He is wrong... it was found on the banks of river krishna, at a village called Kolluru in krishna Dt. Kollur was also the famous mine that yielded other famous diamonds such as the Tavinier Blue amongst others. Godavari in Andhra is a massive river but never had diamond mines on its banks....

      @@SreekanthYerram You can't claim to know the truth about something on which there are no conclusive sources. There are multiple contradicting sources and none of them can be confirmed.
