where?

if you don't mind me asking

nice

@Deleted User All of those ancient cultures exchanged gods, that’s how they all ended up with so many, they would just adopt them into your current pantheon because who knows, maybe praying to that god could provide something your current pantheon lacks.

And then the Greeks also believed in syncretism

Mixing of different religions together

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samaria

an often forgotten part of the regions history

Ya

I assume most Jews would know about that

It's really all about water management

This is what Hanuka is about

Kinda

yeah, but everyone forgets specifically about Samaria itself

Fertile soil from water and minerals

Wheat grew wild here also

I always thought it was an interesting point in history

cool

If you go to a water aqueduct museum place, they show how it affects civilization and population growth

Pretty cool stuff

I think the great pyramid could've been like a giant water reservoir or something

meratrix do you know of Dan Carlin's hardcore history podcast?

I always recommend it to people who appreciate history

You should check out his king of kings series

no, but I’ll check it out

That one was amazing and it's close to that period, it's about the same area

Oh yeah I forgot about those, it's really good @meratrix

Actually I think it is about that period exactly

I think he starts that far back

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J7CmBN741Vw

It's like a lot of history and exciting bits packed into something easy to consume

There you go, I urge you to check it out

He has a lot of great stuff but I think you'll appreciate this episode especially

That one is on the Sumerians or what?

I think he mentions them a bit but it's mostly about the assyrians, babylonians, persians, and all stuff that revolves around them

It's a series so he goes on until the period of Alexander

I think it's a total of north to 9 hours just for the king of kings series

I have something to listen too during the 10 hour drive in a few days now lads.

If you enjoy that then there's a lot of interesting stuff

All his episodes are great@meratrix

His series about the mongols, about the ostfront
