The great pyramids constructed by ancient Egyptians at Giza are the last of the seven wonders of the ancient world still remaining. These massive stone monuments have left people awestruck for thousands of years. True to the distinction as wonders of the ancient world, people have wondered and speculated about how the great pyramids were constructed pretty much as long as they have been around. While some conspiracy theorists like to talk about aliens because they cannot conceive of a world in which ancient people could figure out how to build a pile, I’m going to go out on a limb and say the pyramids were built by people. Archaeologists have found evidence of encampments around the pyramids suggesting that there was a group of skilled craftsmen permanently stationed to work while crews of around 2000 workers would be brought in seasonally.Who ARTed is an Airwave Media Podcast.  If you are interested in advertising on this or any other Airwave Media show, email: advertising@airwavemedia.comFill out the Airwave Media Network survey to give me feedback and get a chance to win a $500 gift card: www.surveymonkey.com/r/airwave Connect with me:Website | Twitter | Instagram | Tiktok Learn more about your ad choices.

Stonehenge has captured the imagination of people for centuries. It is hard to categorize the massive stone work. Is it a feat of engineering, sculpture, architecture? Is it a work of deep spiritual significance or an oversized and needlessly complicated calendar? Located in Wiltshire, England, Stonehenge is made up of standing stones arranged in a circular formation and is estimated to be over 4,500 years old. While its original purpose remains a mystery, there is no doubt that Stonehenge is a masterpiece of art and engineering that has stood the test of time.AP Art History Students, check out my Spotify playlist, AP Art History Cram SessionFill out the Airwave Media Network survey to give me feedback and get a chance to win a $500 gift card: www.surveymonkey.com/r/airwave Check out my other podcast Art SmartArts Madness Tournament links:Check out the BracketsWho ARTed is an Airwave Media Podcast.

ArtCurious is one of my absolute favorite art podcasts. Jennifer Dasal does a deep dive into the research for all her subjects but presents the information that is easy for even me to follow. When I was studying for my exam to become a National Board Certified Teacher, I listened to a lot of ArtCurious to brush up on history I had forgotten and discovered tons of cool stuff I never knew. In fact she even had an entire season dedicated to the coolest artists you've probably never heard of, or maybe during this women's history month, you may be interested in Jennifer's episodes about The Women behind the Art. For today, I wanted to put an episode into the feed on a topic both Jennifer and I have covered. I made a mini episode on cave art in Lascaux, but for those interested in going deeper, please enjoy the ArtCurious episode on Cave Painting Beyond Lascaux.Show notes: In today’s episode, we’re continuing our exploration of cave paintings, but we’re moving beyond France and Spain to tackle the oldest artworks in the world, found in Indonesia (and is the world’s oldest drawing from South Africa?).Links and further resourcesArtnet: Archaeologists Have Discovered a Pristine 45,000-Year-Old Cave Painting of a Pig That May Be the Oldest Artwork in the WorldArtnet: Scientists Have Discovered the World’s Oldest Figurative Art: a 40,000-Year-Old Cave Painting of CattleNew York Times: Oldest Known Drawing by Human Hands Discovered in South African CaveBuy ArtCurious the bookOther places to find Jennifer and ArtCurious: Instagram | YouTube | WebsiteFill out the Airwave Media Network survey to give me feedback and get a chance to win a $500 gift card: www.surveymonkey.com/r/airwave Check out my other podcast Art SmartArts Madness Tournament links: Check out the Brackets Vote in this week's maches Who ARTed is an Airwave Media Podcast.
