Pirates. Few subjects capture our collective imagination more. In recent times, pirates have been the inspiration for countless books, movies, costumes, theme park rides, video games… movies again, more movies, very, very... long movies.

And, as we will see, the legacy of their rich, complex histories very much impacts our world today. 00:00 Intro 01:17 Ancient Times 03:24 Middle Ages 04:25 Early Modern Period 05:56 Golden Age of Piracy 09:57 Modern Piracy 12:10 Digital Piracy #Pirates #History #CuriousMuse CURIOUS MUSE https://curiousmuse.org/ ----------------------------------------- CREDITS: Story: Alberto Rabachin Copyrighting: Jack Gardner Voice: Caleb Mertz Production: IK Video Prod FOLLOW: ► Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/curiousmuse_org ► Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/curiousmuse.org ► TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@curiousmuse.org​​​ LISTEN: ► Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3agcuii​​ ► Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/37dadme​​ ► Google Podcasts: https://bit.ly/3aglvrC​​ ► Anchor: https://anchor.fm/curious-muse​​ SUPPORT: https://www.patreon.com/Curious_Muse​​ Curious Muse brings the best of arts and culture stories from around the world.
