This week, Andrew and CK connect with Dr. David Miano. Dr. Miano is well known for his ability to speak to the chronology of the ancient world in a manner that is direct, yet thoughtful. The three discuss some of the common alternative historical theories and Dr. Miano provides Andrew and CK with his take on what we are seeing at play.

Dr. David Miano is an ancient historian specializing in the histories of the Near East, Egypt, Greece, Rome, India, and China. He earned my Ph.D. at the University of California, San Diego. He is the author of How to Know Stuff, an e-book designed for the general public, and several anthologies designed for classroom use, including Ideas in the Making: A Sourcebook for World Intellectual History to 1300 and Pen Stylus, and Chisel: An Ancient Egypt Sourcebook.

He currently teaches at the State College of Florida, Manatee-Sarasota. Previously, he taught at the University of California, San Diego, and at San Diego Mesa College. In 2009 Dr. Miano received the Revelle College Outstanding Faculty Award in recognition of his excellence in teaching, and he continues his efforts to improve. Additionally, he is the founder and executive director of Schola Antiquorum, a national, non-profit academic society dedicated to the study of ancient history.
