Episode A10 - The Sword of Sumer

Synopsis: Ur-Namma unifies Sumer and ejects the Elamites. His son, King Shulgi, designs a new empire and begins a push for Zagros domination. “The trustworthy shepherd, king, the sword of Sumer, Ur-Namma, the king of the Land, was taken to the …house…he who was beloved by the troops, could not raise his neck anymore. The wise one…lay down; silence descended. As he, who was the vigor of the Land, had fallen, the Land became demolished like a mountain…He passed away in his prime…abandoned, like a broken jar.” – The Death of Ur-Namma Map of the Near East c. 2112 BC: https://audio.ancientworldpodcast.com/2112BC.jpg Map of the Near East c. 2060 BC: https://audio.ancientworldpodcast.com/2060BC.jpg Episode Images: https://www.flickr.com/photos/75506172@N07/albums/72177720331669262/ References and Further Reading: https://audio.ancientworldpodcast.com/A10_References.pdf Please contact advertising@airwavemedia.com if you would like to advertise on this podcast.

225: Nefertari Beloved of Mut

Around 1300 BCE, King Sety I selected a group of "beauties" for his son, to marry and produce children. One of these was Nefertari (Nefret-Iry, "She Has Become Beautiful"). A girl of unknown origins (but some tantalising possibilites) who would rise to the rank of King's Chief/Great Wife. Nefertari is world-famous, especially for her monuments. But the Queen herself is remarkably shadowy. We go in search of her tale... Music: Ancient Lyric (intro) & Keith Zizza (outro). Logo image: Nefertari and Ise/Isis, from the Queen's tomb QV66.

Sacred Band of Thebes: Gay or Nay?

To gay or not to gay, that is the question. The Sacred Band of Thebes was an elite unit of the Theban army comprised of purportedly 150 gay male couples totaling 300 men. This is a force that for years would remain undefeated in battle until they were wiped out to the last man by Alexander the Great. But What is their story? How did they become so famous? And why are they both not talked about enough and too much? The heroics of these men are legendary, but how much of it is legend? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
