13 FEB 2024 · In this episode, Richard and Jake interview Tony Wang, a senior at Yale studying Near Eastern Civilizations and Languages, and History. Tony is an exceptionally adventurous archeologist who focuses his sharp intellect on the ancient history of the Silk Road, particularly in western China and Central and western Asia. In this episode, we address many topics, from Tony’s extensive travels in archaeologically important locations in countries such as Afghanistan, Sri Lanka, and China, the changing nature of modern domestic tourism in China and the public’s attitude towards archeology as a field of study, international cooperation in archeological endeavors, the philosophy of studying history, and the common origins of seemingly unrelated modern cultures and traditions.
