"It all began with a Pharaoh who was tired of his back aching. Then came a Gladiator who feared losing his talisman more than death itself. And that’s just the beginning.

We present the epic, 4,500-year journey of an ordinary tree branch that (allegedly) changed the fate of the world. From the sands of Egypt, through the arena of the Colosseum, to the rainy forests of Britannia – follow a saga full of lazy rulers, unlucky warriors, and unexpected twists of fate.

This is a history where great historical events are merely the backdrop for small, human absurdities."
