In this audio excerpt from a World Virtual Tours live session, we journey into the heart of Greek mythology, exploring how ancient Greeks explained the forces of nature through the stories of their gods.

This episode focuses on Poseidon, god of the sea and earthquakes, and Demeter, goddess of agriculture and fertility. Through their myths, we discover how natural phenomena like earthquakes and the changing of the seasons were understood long before modern science.

From Poseidon’s trident shaking the earth to the powerful myth of Demeter, Persephone, and Hades, this short audio journey reveals how myth, nature, and human experience were deeply intertwined in the ancient Greek world.

The Great Pyramid of Khufu stands at the peak of ancient Egyptian engineering — a monument so vast it has often been described as a human-made mountain.

In this audio excerpt, we explore the history, scale, and meaning of the pyramids of Giza, focusing on Khufu’s Great Pyramid: its immense size, its architectural innovations, and what little we truly know about the pharaoh behind it.

The episode also sheds light on how the pyramids were built, examining modern archaeological evidence — including recently discovered work records from Wadi al-Jarf — that reveal a highly organized, skilled workforce rather than the long-standing myth of slave labor.

This clip comes from a live session led by a World Virtual Tours guide, uncovering the engineering, logistics, and human stories behind one of the greatest monuments ever built.
