There is this insane mysterious temple in Turkey that came way way before even farming villages and nobody gets it and nobody ever will.

Also Cornish tin was crazy important in the ancient world and the Carthaginians kept the Strait of Gibraltar under a very strict lockdown so that nobody else could get their hands on it. They didn't actually travel to Cornwall but they had an idea of where it was and they bought the stuff through middlemen.

So if you were a time traveller in that time period and you built some awesome ship and decided to go discover America you'd get murdered by Carthaginians who didn't want anyone messing with their racket.

I’ll allow it. I love history in general, particularly antiquity.

There was some intricately carved gemstone from Mycenae that was found recently. It supposedly had better perspective and skill than anything previously discovered from that period.







It’s pretty cool to find something like this not only from Ancient Greece but OG Ancient Greece.

There's Polis Greece, and there's Wanax Greece. Which sounds more cool and badass to you??

Pretending you were actual for real buddies with the Gods was basically the Bronze Age version of "my uncle works for Nintendo".

The joke answer is corn (this also might be the real answer).

With corn you can make delicious spitbooze.
