Updated blitz editions

Revisado: 01-17-20

If you heard most of the blitz editions of Hardcore History, this is an updated version. It reflects especially well on the topics from the very early episodes, like "Darkness Covers the Bronze Age" and "Bubonic Nukes", which were very short. Definitely loved those parts the most. Expanded theories and possibilities for the Bronze Age collapse are fascinating. I hope we'll understand what happened better sometime in my lifetime. Most memorable part of it was Dan's comparison of the aftermath of the Soviet Union's collapse. He talked about it being a "mini-dark age". As someone who was born in 1993 and grew up in the 90s in Russia, looking back at it from a different decade and a different country... it was kind of like a dark age. But I didn't know any different. For me that was what life had always been. It was hard for my parents who lived their life in stability and security, but I was oblivious. That might have been the same for the people living in the aftermath of great empires collapse, in the distant past. As for the nuclear weapon part, it was actually shrunk down to fit into the book. If you want to hear about it more, check out the "Destroyer of Worlds" episode. It's 6 hours long, very in depth, and has the added benefits of small excerpts of audio where you can actually hear J. Robert Oppenheimer, Curtis LeMay and Dwight D Eisenhower speaking in their own voices and their own words. It's eerie to realize that all that happened not that long ago.
