History in Chalk

One question per video about how ordinary people actually lived in the past: what a Roman did at 2 a.m. in a crowded apartment block, what an Athenian juror was paid, what tomb builders did when their rations ran late. Every episode is drawn in chalk and built from primary sources (ancient texts in translation, museum and archaeological records), listed with links in each video description. On screen we label what the source says, what is our own math and what is our opinion. Illustrations are AI-generated in our own chalk style; the narration is a synthetic voice. History in Chalk is part of the MediaBits network.
