Marra never wanted to be a hero. As the shy, convent-raised, third-born daughter, she escaped the traditional fate of princesses, to be married away for the sake of an uncaring throne.

I just love these stories. They are reminiscent of those that I loved and lived by as a child. So full of wonder and charm. As always - thanks to Ursula for having such a lovely mind and willingness to share it with us.

In Four Lost Cities, acclaimed science journalist Annalee Newitz takes listeners on an entertaining and mind-bending adventure into the deep history of urban life. Investigating across the centuries and around the world, Newitz explores the rise and fall of four ancient cities, each the center of a sophisticated civilization: the Neolithic site of Çatalhöyük in Central Turkey, the Roman vacation town of Pompeii in Italy, the medieval megacity of Angkor in Cambodia, and the indigenous metropolis Cahokia, which stood beside the Mississippi River where East St. Louis is today.

What really happened to four "lost" cities

Ancient Urban Life is Fascinating

This may be one of the most interesting books on ancient cities I’ve had the pleasure of “reading” (listening to).
I deep dive into all four cities is informative but I especially enjoyed the final city of Cahokia. I’ve read some on it but I learned a lot of new things - notably that commerce was not the reason for existing (a mistaken notion of European thinking that all cities are birthed in commerce and trade).
I liked listening to this as I was doing house and yard work but I like it enough I will be ordering a hard copy for my library as well.
