Episode description

Ever since humans began writing down information, there has been a desire to compile all known information into one single source. For over two thousand years, people have attempted to compile all of the knowledge of their era and civilization. Some of these attempts were little more than lists, and others were mind-bogglingly comprehensive. Learn more about the history of encyclopedias and the attempts to compile human knowledge on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
