Mesopotamia with two exquisite rivers
And expansive ziggurats
Egypt, with freakish pharaohs
And colossal pyramids
Israel, with God’s holy law
And the captivating temple
Babylon, with the inspiring Ishtar gate
And the elaborate hanging gardens
Greece, with unreal gods
And energetic athletes
Rome, with control freak emperors
And frightful armies
The ancient world beautiful, barbaric and bizarre.
