History isn't a single story. It's not a straight line from past to present. It's a tapestry of parallel developments, with civilizations rising, innovating, and evolving simultaneously across the globe.

Welcome to Ages Aligned, where we explore how human civilization developed not in isolation, but in parallel. What was happening in China while the pyramids were being built? How did the peoples of the Americas develop sophisticated cities without any contact with the Old World? What innovations were occurring in Africa while Mesopotamian cities were rising?

In each episode, we'll align different periods of history, showing you how various cultures tackled similar challenges in unique ways. From the birth of agriculture to the rise of empires, from the development of writing to the emergence of complex religions - we'll explore how different peoples found different solutions to humanity's common challenges.
