The oldest synagogue, Civil War soldiers, and Poseidon's Revenge - Ep 231

We’ve got a news episode this week and three great articles. First up is possibly the world’s oldest synagogue outside of Israel. However, not everyone believes it. Then we’ve got an article about some civil war soldiers that we know a lot more about now. Finally, what happens when you worship a god of the sea and it all goes wrong? The Greek city of Helike has an idea about that from 2,600 years ago.
