This video is part of an 11-creator collaboration all about The Bronze Age! It was super exciting for me to do another big multi-channel project after hearing such a positive response to Operation Odysseus.

I still have a lot of difficulty wrapping my head around just how sprawling the history of Mesopotamia really is. Their story basically ends even before "western history" gets going in ancient Athens. Eridu is just casually chilling there for 1500 years — that's insane to me.

Next up, we're heading east to check up on China, and we'll be joined by a special guest. A Mister Jack Rackam!
