The power of Poseidon lives on through the centuries in the awe-inspiring Poseidon of Melos statue.

Located at the National Archeological Museum in Athens, the Poseidon of Melos statue is one of the most captivating ancient artworks in the world, and has a rich and fascinating history.

With its magnificent form and lifelike details, the Poseidon of Melos statue is a true work of art. Discovered on the Greek island of Melos in 1877, the statue depicts the god Poseidon in all his power and majesty. The god is shown standing tall and proud, his muscular body and regal features capturing the essence of power and strength. From the intricate detailing of his hair and beard to the intricate folds of his robes, the statue is a masterful example of ancient Greek artistry.

But the story of the Poseidon of Melos statue is just as intriguing as its appearance. It was originally discovered on the island of Melos, which was once home to one of the most thriving ancient civilisations in the Greek world. The statue was believed to have been created around 100 BC and likely symbolised the island's wealth and prosperity.

It's Saturday which means...NEW EPISODE: Episode 11: It’s one of the most famous photos ever: the girl on the National Geographic cover with the bright green eyes. But not many know how angry she was in the photo or why she was so angry. After all, the photographer broke some cultural norms to get this important shot.

But this expose is more about the search for The Afghan Girl and how it took 18 years to find her. Sophisticated iris scans, weeding out false claims and the people claiming to be her, visiting various countries…it was an exhaustive search. But they did it. Here’s how they found her and what became of the famous Afghan Girl from that National Geographic cover.

This is the eleventh episode in a series of episodes that’ll drop every Saturday throughout 2024.
