Recent Ancient History Books: Roundup, Thoughts, & Recommendations
akhipill.substack.com
The lifeblood of my intellectual being is history. Its mostly entertaining and fun for me, in addition to being an intellectual exercise. All eras and places interest me, but in the last couple of years, my reading interests have been particularly dominated by ancient history. I keep up with contemporary events through magazines, newspapers, and social media, but to get into some elements of ancient history, you really need to get into books and scholarly research. I’ve also been working on my book on India, and a lot of that involves a deep dive into its ancient history. On top of that, I’ve visited ancient sites in India, Israel, and Turkey in the last couple of years. As a result of all this, I’ve been drawn more to ancient history than before, although current geopolitical and technological trends are beginning to shift my reading patterns in another direction.
