About this episode
This episode explores the science behind the 4.2 kiloyear BPE Aridification Event and its impact on ancient agriculture in the Near East.
Synopsis: The science behind the 4.2 kiloyear BPE Aridification Event. “The great farming tracts brought forth no grain, The irrigated farming tracts brought forth no fish, The well-watered orchard brought forth neither syrup nor wine. The gathering clouds brought no rain, not even weeds would grow.” – The Curse of Agade Map of the Near East c. 2200 BC: https://audio.ancientworldpodcast.com/2200BC.jpg Episode Images: https://www.flickr.com/photos/75506172@N07/albums/72177720330980851 References and Further Reading: https://audio.ancientworldpodcast.com/A7_References.pdf Please contact advertising@airwavemedia.com if you would like to advertise on this podcast.
