The first agricultural revolutions began about 10,000 BCE in Egypt, China and Mesopotamia (Iraq). Trading require counting and the first written language; in general use by 2600 BCE. The first epic poem, Gilgamesh, was written in cuneiform. The first alphabet assigned Semitic characters to Egyptian hieroglyphs about 2000 BCE. It was adopted by the Greeks about 800 BCE and later modified for the Roman Latin alphabet. The Chinese built the first blast furnaces (using piston-bellows driven by waterwheels) and cast iron farm tools and weapons were common by 500 BCE. Austronesians sailed outrigger canoes over 6,000 kilometers from Taiwan to reach New Zealand from about 3000 BCE. About 100 BCE the Malays of Indonesia traded between China, India and Africa in sailing ships carrying 1000 people and a 260 ton cargo. The Greek navigator, Pytheas, sailed to the north Atlantic about 325 BCE where he recorded polar ice, the Midnight Sun and lunar tides. The Roman Prefect of Egypt (26-24 BCE), Aelius Gallus, noted 120 trading ships leaving Myos Hormos for India. WHO THE HELL ARE WE? is a series of short books and videos describing the evolution of civilization. Almost everyone on the planet is five times wealthier than their ancestors only 50 years ago. This astonishing phenomenon has also improved health, education, and longevity. The cause; an explosive growth in ideas and productivity. It began when we learned to control fire, evolved articulate speech and stumbled onto the way to create infinite wealth; free trade. The discovery of agriculture made us richer but we also learned how to destroy wealth. Great civilization grew up but then disappeared leaving only incredible ruins and ideas. Later books detail some of the ideas and developments that increased the average life span from about 40 years to more than 80 and the average world income from less than $3 to more than $33 per person per day (and to $140 per day in some countries).

En este pequeño mito/relato se narra la historia de una persona que tenía por afición correr, algo extraño para ser un contexto mesopotámico del 2500 a.C aproximadamente, por lo que, Anzu, el pájaro de la tormenta va a hacerle una visita con intención de ver si es tan veloz y resistente como las lenguas de Sumeria dicen.

Lost in pain, guilt and endless suffering was a child who feld for his life from the war torn Aryavart. He had nothing more with him, his memories failed him and yet he was taken in and given the name Perseus. He grew up, became Greece's most beloved warrior. But was that the end? Or was it just the beginning of a nightmare. Buried within his forgotten past lies a book. A book which took several lives. A book which holds a secret which died with its master in battle. "Who are you?" "The all knowing, all powerful...." "I didn't ask for subtitles!" Exclaimed Perseus. They dangerously held their swords against each other's throats. Their eyes challenged one another, yet neither of them were willing to battle it with their swords. "Why do you need this book?" Asked Vatsala. "Why did you....kill...." "Mere mortals such as yourself are so foolish!" Laughed the man. "Hand me the book, or else none of you live." They looked around and realised they were surrounded by armed men who were ready to strike as soon as the signal was given. "Percy, let him go." She softly suggested, by gently placing a hand on his shoulder. "I have their leader, they won't kill us." He replied. "You don't get them yet," sighed Vatsala, "they are not one, they are many. He that was made within one, is not one." Perseus dropped the sword and the book was handed to the man. They were at their wits ends. Would they succeed? Would they succumb to evil? Trapped, encoded, shrouded in mystery is a dangerous secret. The ones who knew it, died. Would they meet the same fate as that of the past? **Sequel to- Katha Raniyon Ki** **Can also be read as a standalone** Graphic designer: @Anoralily

In 2025, four talented archaeology students earn a research grant to excavate in Babylon, the heart of the Sumerian civilization. During their work, they discover a hidden well unlike any seen before-and within it, they encounter the legendary beings Harut and Marut, suspended for millennia. The fallen angels reveal a terrifying secret: the existence of Stellar Gates-portals that connect distant worlds-and offer the group a chance to step into a parallel realm where magic, myth, and ancient civilizations are still alive. After a difficult decision, the four choose to take the leap-not out of escape, but out of passion for history and discovery. On the other side lies a world mirroring humanity's ancient past, yet diverging into new paths: realms of elves, giants, demons, and forgotten empires. Bound by the warning of a celestial guardian-"Do not corrupt this world, or your journey will end before it begins"-their greatest adventure unfolds: exploring unknown civilizations, uncovering hidden truths, and testing the very limits of fate across worlds. "But beyond the gates lies a truth that could change everything...". All rights reserved © 2025 by Ahmed Al-Sulimawi.

Before empires rose, before kings ruled, before history carved names into clay - there were people, landscapes, and the long memory of the land. Kings of Dust and Fire traces the origins of civilization from the last Ice Age to the rise of the first city‑states in Mesopotamia. Through climate shifts, migrations, ritual centers, early villages, and the birth of political power, this book follows the fragile, astonishing transformation of humanity. From the Natufians to Jericho, from Çatalhöyük to Uruk, from the first temples to the first kings, this is the story of how humans learned to settle, organize, build, remember, and rule. Written in a vivid, narrative style, this work blends archaeology, anthropology, and history into a sweeping exploration of the world before writing - and the world writing made possible. If you've ever wondered how civilization truly began, step into the dust and fire where it all started.
