Season 2: Episode 23
Seth Priestman is help archaeologist in Oman to explore a newly-discovered fort built by the Persian Sasanian Empire in the 5th century AD, previously hidden away under the Batinah plain. Connected with great plans for military expansion that stretched into Eastern Arabia and as far as the shores of the Indian Ocean, and later transformed in a domestic residence after the conversion to Islam in Oman during the mid-7th century, this grand site has much to tell us about the past. In this talk, Seth reveals how the international team has been working hard to explore this momentous juncture in world history through their range of archaeological finds, big and small.
