The Isle of Maidens | Moral Lessons and Cannibals

Morality lessons, and cannibals! This episode took me on a journey that I did not expect! I thought we were just gonna talk about some badass lady fighters on an island but instead, we're hopping in our little time machine to learn about "morals" or at least what the ancient Greek and Japanese, Buddhists thought morals were! We're going to encounter nymphs, witches, Amazon warriors, and cannibals!! So grab your snack and a drink hop in the Time Machine and let's get to it!! ____________________________________________________________________________ 💛Live Recording! https://www.youtube.com/live/E4s5IHab5QU?si=C5BVAiCdoFpaXf3l 💙Live History Quiz!! https://forms.gle/ZTtv66KN8khsgPPPA ____________________________________________________________________________ 🏺Further Reading!
