About this episode

This episode explores the deep history of the Palestinian people with historian William Dalrymple, discussing how their narrative has been erased from mainstream history.

What do historical records, ancient texts, archaeology, and DNA research actually tell us about Palestinians? In this episode of The Deep Dive, Ahmed Alnaouq is joined by historian and bestselling author William Dalrymple to explore the deep history of the Palestinian people, which he argues have too often been erased from mainstream narratives and the documented history of Palestine. Together, they discuss how history is taught in Britain, the origins of the name Palestine, the continuity of the people who have lived on the land for thousands of years, and why understanding the past is essential to understanding the present. 👉 Support us by becoming a paid subscriber from as little as £1 a month.
