Story
The sheer importance of Sumerian culture in regards to world culture as a whole is impossible to overstate. This civilization is single-handedly responsible for some of the most major innovations in nearly every field relevant to maintaining a civilized society - this includes religion, lawmaking, architecture, schooling, art, literature, and even entertainment. Naturally, most of what we see as negative aspects of society were established in ancient Sumer as well. There wasn’t an aspect of Sumerian life that wasn’t plagued with corruption or devastation of one form or another.

The Minoans were an ancient civilization that built their settlements on islands in the Aegean Sea.

Ever since the early 20th century, the Minoans have been a subject of interest, thanks to the discoveries and excavations by Sir Arthur Evans, a British archaeologist who found the first Minoan ruins and named them after the mythological King Minos and his Minotaur.

Story needs to be more diverse
The story is about a bunch of old slave owners. I hate slave owners. Rather than talk about a bunch of old IndoEuropean slave owners, they should have instead focused on the LatinX contribution to the cultures of Mesopotamia, Egypt and the Levant. Also it totally ignored the contribution of the LGBTQAAWMTIA+ community to developing the cultures of the bronze age. I can't believe someone as culturally diverse, and inclusive as Jeff Bezos allowed this to be published.
How are kids going to learn to hate whiteness when stories like this discuss King Suppilulioma II, and totally leave of the murder of Emmit Till.
