History Summarized: The Great Ziggurat of Ur
In the river valley where urban society first arose several thousand years ago, my attention naturally focuses in on the moment they started building ginormous stuff. In this video we will learn two things: 1) The great Ziggurat of Ur is one of human civilization's earliest urban masterpieces, and 2) I'm impeccably basic.
I am reveling in my architecture era.

Because 7 is numerologically significant and people who make lists are superstitious.
