EPISODE 19: URDUJA, WARRIOR PRINCESS | Legendary Princess of Tawalisi

In a time of ancient gods, warlords and kings... A land in turmoil cried out for heroes. She was Urduja, a mighty princess forged in the heat of battle. In this episode, we learn about Urduja, a legendary princess who was almost too epic to be real. Join us as we embark on a journey across ancient Sri-Visayan Empires, the Hundred Islands of Pangasinan, and the warrior plains of Mongolia. Help us decide if this well-documented tale was real and help us decide what “Elephant-load” actually means.
