    Hahahaha that’s hilarious. I’ll never unsee it!

    Have you been reading books or reading through Wikipedia? The wiki pages are very thorough but I like having an author organize everything for me. I read “Mesopotamia: invention of the city” by Gwendolyn Leick and listened to the majority of the audiobook for “Weavers, Scribes, and Kings.” I was looking at a book by Echart Frohm when I started getting enamored with Rome and I kinda got sidetracked haha

      I like the details an author can give that the Wikipedia page doesn’t have room for. I was just listening to The History of the Ancient World by Susan Wise Bauer which inspired my initial post.
