Just finished reading @badancient.bsky.social 's 'The Far Edges of the Known World: A New History of the Ancient Past'.
A refreshing look at ancient history from the perspective of those normally considered on the periphery, centering a much-needed spotlight on the margins that changed the world.🏺

The amount of excellent book recommendations I've gotten from podcasts is wonderful.
Just these three podcasts have contributed significant additions:
1. @jonjtaylor.bsky.social 's Thin Edge of the Wedge
2. @belovedofoizys.bsky.social 's Ancient History 101
3. Tristan Hughes' "The Ancients"
