One interesting aspect is hydraulic empires. In areas where irrigation for agriculture could be centrally controlled, government was more powerful and oppressive.
Well, if you introduce magical transport usable for trade in bulk goods then you also need to figure that 1. conventional seafaring lessens in importance 2. warfare changes on a strategic level 3. you will have more epidemics
These videos are going to great for developing the history of my constructed species. I have the biology and a rough idea of the present day equivalent, so this info is going to be very useful
Quisiera complementar el vídeo con los siguientes puntos: 1) Parece que durante la edad de bronce no había un conflicto tan marcado entre el conocimiento y la religión, de hecho, parece que las religiones de aquel entonces se componían de espíritus de la naturaleza, dioses (con "d" minúscula) y Dioses (con "D" mayúscula), además de una ocasional adoración a divinidades extranjeras. 2) Si mal no recuerdo, ya había embarcaciones bastante elaboradas para aquel entonces y, algunas civilizaciones ya tenían máquinas cómo computadoras primitivas, puertas que se abren con la fuerza del vapor y mecanismos accionados por agua. Todo esto me lleva a pensar en un sistema de magia similar al de los magos cibernéticos de Shadowrun, solo que adaptados a la tecnología y creencias de aquella época, cómo engranajes en lugar de circuitos que solo se moverán si ofreces tus lagrimas a un espíritu de la naturaleza y/o sacrificas un cordero a alguna divinidad, ya sea propia o extranjera.
Did you know about the racy poetry? I didn't. It gets positively ... damp in places :D
Is it called Fifty Shades of Bronze?😂

To oversimplify, Resources = someone want to control them
You’re amazing this is just like the concept for my book series, it’s hard because no one focuses on the Bronze Age
You are very welcome :)
Thanks. These videos are really helping me with the world I'm building to set my stories in.

You're a great speaker.
Thank you 😊
When you mention the prices of goods what do you think of a network of portals in nature Insidious can be built around them like we do port cities
Yep absolutely. It would make completely sense.
Beautiful
What do you think about scribe starting a civil war
Could definitely work, especially if the scribe has a reason to start a civil war, like revenge on a nation that has wronged him.
The spice melange is more an allegory for oil

Slavery weren't as important in the construction of public monuments. Most of workers in piramid construction were free people.
Oh interesting :)
