THEN - Murky Mythological Origins

Trying to go all the way back to the beginning of Bohemia and Prague is difficult. The Dark Ages means we don't have great records. But we have some stories, and some facts, and some suppositions, and we can weave them together into a coherent narrative. In this episode, we look at the murky mythological beginnings of Prague and the Czech people, going all the way back as far as we can.
