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.
Would you recommend it? What sort of time span and what cultures does it cover?
