I've been lurking this thread since it started, and I just wanted to say that this has been really fun to read. It's a different experience from the sorts of LPs I'm usually interested in, but in the best way. Cheers!

painedforever posted:Is it sad that I only associate the names of places as relating to wars/disasters/headlines? You haven't heard of the Tripoli pirates? They were a big thing in the early 1800s, the U.S. even had some military actions over there (which is why the shores of Tripoli are mentioned in the USMC hymn.) By all accounts a pretty fierce bunch. And Libya the modern country is less than a hundred years old. Obviously the people and cultures there are much (much, much) older, but the region has a very complicated geopolitical history. Carthage, I dunno, it's a huge deal in ancient Mediterranean history. I think when I learned about Rome in middle school we watched a video that talked about the Carthaginians there, so I suppose that's where I know it from.
