Exciting times for archaeology.

I remember learning about the Sumerians for the first time, how they seemingly of nowhere sprung up with agriculture, writing, architecture, engineering, astrology, metallurgy. I was fascinated, especially with how prolific they were with their writing, how it detailed their everyday life (all my homies hate Ea-Nassir).

Now we’re uncovering more of our past in the Fertile Crescent, and it’s more interesting than I could ever hope for.
