The Other Ancient Civilisations: Interview with Raven Todd DaSilva

Tides of History

When we think of the ancient world, we tend to think of just a few societies: Egypt, Mesopotamia, and so on. But the more distant reaches of the past contained multitudes, and Raven Todd DaSilva has written a new book - The Other Ancient Civilisations - about some of them. I chat with her about her favorite lesser-known archaeological cultures and periods and what we can learn from a broader view of the past.
