When humans first learned how to work with metal, the very first metal they used was copper. 

Copper was easy to shape, easy to find, and relatively abundant. 

Since those early humans began using copper, usage of the metal hasn’t diminished. It's just that its modern usage is for purposes that the ancient never could have imagined. 

Learn more about copper and its many uses throughout history on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Today's episode takes us inside the kitchen of Washington, D.C. Michelin-star restaurant Maydān. There, owner Rose Previte walks NPR's Asma Khalid through several recipes in her new cookbook, Maydān, which focuses on family dishes from a diverse array of influences. Previte and Khalid get to talking about how growing up in a Lebanese-Italian home in a small Ohio town — and later traveling across Russia and the Middle East with her husband, former NPR host David Greene — shaped her understanding of breaking bread across cultures.

In the year 356 BC, a son was born to the King of Macedon, Philip II, and his wife, Queen Olympias.

While no one could have known it at the time, that boy would grow up to fundamentally change the map of the ancient world. Multiple ancient kingdoms and empires would fall to his armies. 

However, just as he reached the zenith of his success, he died, leaving chaos and confusion in his wake.

Learn more about Alexander the Great and how he changed the map of the ancient world on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

There was a time when languages had no punctuation. Not only did they not have punctuation, but they also didn’t even have spaces between words, and in some cases, they didn’t even use vowels. 

It was extremely confusing if you were trying to read something, so eventually, people began inserting marks and characters into text to make it easier to read. 

Learn more about punctuation marks and how and why they were developed on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
