I liked this explanation of the first city, without going all Graham Hancock/Ancient Architects on us.
Concise and to the point; nice!👍

Hahaha thanks. No aliens here. I do like Graham though. In my opinion he does some necessary proto-science. Meaning - Chase a bunch of wild ideas and see how far you can take them. Essential often-overlooked part of scientific process to get some new ideas on the table. Then rigorous science based on large amounts of data should come in though (instead of speculations on curiosities)

Brics are a wonderful invention, but could you comment on the accompanying invention of mortar, which appears to me as important as the manufacture of standardized brics?

True. Also goes way back.
