This week, let's continue our sleepy stroll through history's halls and relax with nomadic wanderers, seafarers, and the ever-shifting conquerors of the Cradle of Civilization. Dreamy!

Want to support us and help us stay ad-free? Neat! Everyone who supported us in April, or supports us in May by 5/31, will be entered into a drawing for an episode of your very own!
