Lost Kings, Desert Truths, and Van Gogh's Legacy

In this episode of English Plus Podcast, we dive into three captivating topics that will leave you questioning everything you thought you knew. First, we explore The Mystery of The Turin King List, an ancient Egyptian document that might hold the secrets of forgotten rulers—kings erased from history. Could this crumbling papyrus rewrite the history of Egypt? Next, we challenge a common belief in Deserts: Hot, Cold, or Somewhere In Between?. You may be surprised to learn that not all deserts are scorching hot—some are freezing cold! We’ll break down what makes a desert a desert and why your assumptions about these extreme landscapes might need a rethink. Finally, we take a look at the life of one of history’s greatest artists in The Starving Artist: Why Van Gogh Only Sold a Few Paintings. Despite creating over 2,000 works of art, Vincent van Gogh struggled to sell his paintings during his lifetime. What was it about his art and his era that kept him from finding success? And what does his story tell us about how we value creativity? Throughout the episode, we’ll also explore vocabulary in context, helping you sharpen your language skills, and ask thought-provoking questions that will keep you reflecting long after the episode ends.
