For somebody so autistic about history you'd surely realize people for time immemorial have used fiction as a vehicle to teach about everything you're talking about and more. Shakespeare didn't write Hamlet for kicks, the Greeks didn't play dramas in drag to feel pretty, and the Epic of Gilgamesh wasn't written just to play with clay tablets. <|endoftext|> Any kino books about the average life of a bronze age mesopotamian? I just find the bronze age old enough to be kinda alien and comfy.
