About this podcast
Zaskia is a podcast that takes you on a journey through human civilization—
across time, beliefs, wars, and the real-world traces still standing today.
This isn’t just the kind of history you learned in school.
It’s about how people understood the world in different eras… and how those ideas shaped everything we know today.
From ancient myths and early beliefs,
to influential figures in history and religious traditions—
told through different perspectives that are often more connected than they seem.
We also explore the evolution of conflict—
from ancient battles before gunpowder,
to modern wars that reshaped the world.
And it’s not just about stories.
It’s about real evidence—structures, ruins, and landmarks that still exist today,
as proof of humanity’s long journey through time.
If you’re into deeper history, mythology, and the hidden layers behind our world,
Zaskia is where that journey begins.
Follow Zaskia, and start exploring the past.
