My husband, Ioannis Syrigos, and I launched Ancient Origins in February 2013, while living in Greece at that time. While both of us have backgrounds in science, we shared a common interest in history, world events, and human origins and frequently watched documentaries and read books on these subjects. We decided to create a website to share the things we learned about through our own research and we did this primarily out of personal interest – we were both working full-time in other fields.
