Show notes

Synopsis: The launch of “The Ancient World – Ages”, a new series covering the Early Bronze Age Collapse (c. 2200 BC) and the remaking of Southwest Eurasia. We start things off with a discussion of the Ubaid and Uruk Periods of early Mesopotamia.

“After Anu, Enlil, Enki, and Ninhursag

Had fashioned the black-headed people,

Vegetation luxuriated from the earth,

Animals, four-legged creatures of the plain, were brought

artfully into existence.” – The Deluge Myth
