4. Awwww,...I've always thought people have been basically the same throughout time....

....just the trappings have changed.

History tends to track the rise and fall of empires run by the ruling class but we never consider the way the 99% lived. They lived and loved and raised their kids pretty much the same. We look at temples and palaces and not homes.

5. And not far from this site is an excavation that is revealing a city that could be...

...'better than Ezra'.

(badoomp - ching!)
I'll be here all week - try the veal!

7. Highly recommended. I'd have thought

that something this ancient on this scale would be more widely known. I had no idea something like this existed. Thank you for posting.
