I'm interested in the subjects that I never learned in school, like Asian history or ancient Mesopotamian history. African empires seems interesting too, and I'm very curious about how the Polynesians came to be, seems wild.

The amount of times I heard about Babylon without actually learning anything about Babylon is completely wild to me.

For anyone curious:

The Babylonian empire was located between the rivers Euphrates and Tigris in today's Iraq.
It looks they may have invented law.
Their writing looked quite spiky
The hanging gardens of Babylon probably never existed (despite being one of the 7 ancient world wonders)
Nebuchadnezzar was apparently one noteworthy ruler
mostly tho, the city of Babylon had nice architecture and was overall quite rich.

Feel free to correct me on anything, and go as far into detail as you want.
