Lost Decades

As the title suggests, this is a time of endings and beginnings. Egypts all-powerful pharaohs fumble their control of all of Egypt. Meanwhile a little tike named Hammurabi is being raised by his father, the King.

As expected it’s Isin vs Larsa during the Isin-Larsa period, which is rapidly coming to a close as the quiet little brother Babylon is rising in the north.

Senusret III represents the peak of Middle Kingdom Egypt while the land between the rivers is a battleground of warring cities.

Mobile Suit Gungunam captures Ur and puts the Larsa in the Isin-Larsa period! And we check in our friends Senusret I and Amenemhat II in Egypt.

Things in the fertile crescent are in the midst of a tremendous amount of societal change at the start of the Middle Kingdom and the Isin-Larsa period. This week we keep things simple and focused on the big players of Egypt and Mesopotamia and really dive into the humans that were living thousands of years before Homer.

We're back and better than ever for our trip down distant memory lane. All the way to the turn of the millennium, yes the year 2000 ... BC! The rise of the Middle Kingdom of Egypt and the early whispers of Babylon. Listen in to find out more.
