Amazing. Thousands of years of human presence in one spot. Thank you for story and photos.
On such occasions I always make sure to remind myself the following - in times of blossom of these civilizations we "westerners" (our ancestors) who consider ourselves the pinnacle of the civilization, were still "rolling in the mud" and now we have the audacity to dictate the world how it should turn :(

I'm so glad you enjoyed the pics and commentary! It really was impactful to stand in such a significant location, I hope I get to visit a few more sites like this before I leave the Middle East.
I love love love the personal reminder you mentioned!! I think that due to some not-so-kind modern viewpoints on this region, which gifted us much of the knowledge we hold today, we end up sort of jaded and unfairly biased. When one takes some time to learn about just how advanced and progressive many of these ancient civilizations were, I think it flips so many common viewpoints right on their heads!
Thank you for the smile and support my friend 🤗💗
