Unfortunately blogger's new "streamlined" design doesn't have that capability. Sometime in the future I'm considering moving to a different platform with better functionality, but unfortunately that won't be an immediate help for you.

If you're looking for a bibliography of the first series, you need to pull up the blog site on a laptop (as opposed to a phone or tablet), then scroll all the way down the right-hand-side - you can find the links there. I also stay pretty active on the Facebook & Twitter pages.

Just started listening a few days ago and am just starting to visit your blog/site. Hoping to find some type of bibliography. The description of agriculture and its importance in civilization grabbed me right from the get go- the essay by John Zerzan "Agriculture: Demon Engine of Civilization" has always fascinated me regarding the birth of civilization (for good or bad).Kaz Jarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00991776825437692191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3497795155471162086.post-11508315557269132802017-04-05T11:35:25.271-07:002017-04-05T11:35:25.271-07:00Such a beautiful place!

You've given this history lover something to enjoy while commuting and during what little leisure time I have. I work full time but have been attending college part time for a few years as a history major and I love to find others who share the love of history. I had been searching for an ancient history vlog or podcast and thankfully stumbled across yours after listening to a few episodes of Mike Duncan's History of Rome a couple months ago. I have been binge listening ever since. I think you've done a great job with your research and I love the supplementary material you include here and on the facebook page which I just discovered yesterday. <br />Take Care! <br />Nicole Introverted Bookwormhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07772405063600947640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3497795155471162086.post-89301087551093352852015-11-03T18:54:55.250-08:002015-11-03T18:54:55.250-08:00Thanks Yatika!

I had two main references for that part of the series: "Ancient Iraq" by Georges Roux & "A History of the Ancient Near East" by Van De Mieroop. Of the two, I'd recommend the first one, since the second is more "textbook-like."

To be honest, I typically only discuss the agricultural origins of civilizations, as well as dislocations due to draught & famine, etc. But I don't delve much into farming per se. My main focus is historical "firsts", and I'm also something of an ancient political junkie.

Came here via the History of Rome page which, although I haven't listened to or followed, I came across via another page which I had found via a simple Google search. Do the other episodes also reference farming? I'm fascinated by the impact of farming on the dispersal of peoples and languages! Thanks for your work.

At this point, it looks like the series will run around 20 episodes, as opposed to the originally-projected dozen. <br /><br />As far as the pyramids, I read an interesting book years ago about how the Giza necropolis is aligned with the stars in Orion's belt, and various shafts are oriented toward astronomical objects. The Egyptiains certainly knew their stars!Scott C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16268058664337388207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3497795155471162086.post-21936502825624245512012-08-31T12:23:01.288-07:002012-08-31T12:23:01.288-07:00Very nice episode indeed.

I appreciate the length of your podcast and think it's great that you are forced to condense things down. It encourages people like me to dig deeper and research on my own and in doing so I will come across the competing theories mentioned by the Reluctant Blogger. Hope you keep up the fine PCast!<br /><br />PS. Are you going to reveal whether or not aliens build the pyramids? j/k. Well sort of kidding, the best part of history is often the unexplained mysteries.YGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18170098671506045281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3497795155471162086.post-17726077019770235502012-07-26T08:02:19.007-07:002012-07-26T08:02:19.007-07:00Good episode.
