Fun podcast interview on Tides of History with Patrick Wyman has just dropped. It’s all about the Amarna Letters and my new book on that topic which will come out on Tuesday, November 11. If you have an hour to spare, or even just a few minutes, take a listen. /1

Today’s tie is brought to your courtesy of the Yale Peabody museum, where I was presented with it while giving a lecture there several months ago. I know that I don’t usually do dinosaurs, but I am close to becoming one myself, so…
