Mesopotamia, with two twisting rivers
And zig-zagging ziggurats
Egypt, with fantastic pharoahs
And gigantic pyramids
Israel, with God’s holy law
And the towering temple
Babylon, with the captivating Ishtar Gate
And the beautiful Hanging Gardens
Greece, with wishy-washy gods
And daring athletes
Rome, with imperfect emperors
And brutal armies
The Ancient World,
Beautiful, harsh, and mysterious.
