Some recent finds:
Fall of Civilizations
Not sure how much ancient history I'll post on this site, but this podcast, called The Fall of Civilization is now watchable.
I won't embed the videos here, because for language learners it's always better to watch the video on youtube (after having clicked on CC -- on the lower right-hand side of the player -- to be sure you have the subtitles if you want them).
8. The Sumerians: Fall of the First Cities (published August 2020)
The introduction sets the stage nicely with the story of an Italian who "rediscovered" cuneiform & the city of Ur. (0:00 -- 5:00)
23:15 -- theory of flood (origin? of Sumerians)
31:43 -- 34:06 Al Jazeera
35:08 -- (metals + mathematics 360°, 24h, 60m, etc.)
