During the second world war, one of the biggest efforts of the war was the Manhattan Project: the secret American program to create an atomic bomb.

The scientists and staff of the Manhattan Project were in a race to beat Nazi Germany to be the first country to build the A-bomb. When Germany surrendered in May 1945, and Americans detonated the first device in July, they had seemingly won the race.

But was it in fact a race at all? How close were the Nazis to actually building an atom bomb?

Learn more about the Nazi nuclear program on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Located near the city of Masvingo in Central Zimbabwe are the ruins of one of the greatest civilizations of the Middle Ages.

When European explorers first discovered the ruins, they simply couldn’t believe that it was built by native Africans.

Subsequent archeological investigations show not just that they were wrong, but that the civilization which was there had contact with some of the furthest reaches of the known world.

Subscribe to the podcast!

In 1967, the very first Saturn V rocket was launched. It was the largest rocket ever built.
