Mesopotamia, Egypt and the Hittites usually dominate the story of the Bronze Age. But Syria was home to some of the region&#39;s most powerful cities and kingdoms and helped forge the ancient Mediterranean world.Tristan Hughes is joined by Dr Amanda Podany to uncover this lost cradle of cities, from the wealthy trading hub of Ebla to the royal intrigues of Mari and the rise of the mysterious Mitanni. How did these cities and kingdoms build their wealth and forge alliances with distant rulers and what can their remarkable archives reveal about the trials and tribulations of everyday life in the Bronze Age Near East?MOREThe Bronze Age Brotherhood of Kings<a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-ancients/id1520403988?i=1000661242255" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Listen on Apple</a><a href="https://open.spotify.com/episode/04pzQXvdVwFVWIN72mFyLm?si=lqA82PFXSxGJXCO71tFWJA" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Listen on Spotify </a>Hammurabi: Rise of the Babylonians<a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-ancients/id1520403988?i=1000590227902" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Listen on Apple</a><a href="https://open.spotify.com/episode/0at7iI7c89bv45SnkPm4vr?si=3uN0xVFXQN20SAqTQ5V3Vg" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Listen on Spotify </a>The Ancients is now on YouTube!
