Ze End of Ze Bronze Age
Hokay. So here’s the Near East. Just chilling. Dayumn, that is a nice Near East you might say. WRONG. Ruling out the Persian Gulf sinking, earthquakes and solar eclipses, Egypt’s brief fling with monotheism killing the gods, and the invention of iron smelting, we're definitely going to blow ourselves up. hOKAY. So Basically, we’ve got the Mycenaeans, the Kassites, the Assyrian Empire, the Hittites, the Egyptian New Kingdom, Ugarit, Canaan, the Sea-Peoples, the Amorites, the Luwians, and Us (the Babylonians). With Bronze. Ok so one day the Sea-Peoples are like “those Egyptian sons of a bitches are goin’ down.” So they launch themselves at Egypt. While it’s on the way Ramses II is like “SHIT SHIT WHO THE FUCK IS INVADING US. Oh well. Fire arrows!” Canaan is like “shit guyz’ … Ze sea peoplez are coming! Fire arrows!” “But I’m v’tired!” “Oh well have a nap… BUT ZEN, FIRE ZE ARROWS!” The Indus Valley is like “WTF mates?” The Assyrians, Ugarit and the Amorites launch THEIR shit, so now we’ve got arrows literally passing each other in mid-air (‘Yo. ‘Sup). Hittites are like AAAAAAH HANNAHANNA! “The Myceneaans are like “‘bout that time eh chaps? Right oh!” The Assyrians are like “fuck we’re dumbasses.” The Luwians are like “what’s going on, eh?” The Indus Valley is still like “WTF mate?” Mars is laughing at us, and some huge meteor’s like “well, fuck that”. So, now there's a dark ages, (Yes!!) and everyone's dead.... (...No, wait) Except the Indus Valley.... And they're still like, WTF? But they'll be indecipherable soon. Fucking indus script…Buuuuut! Asuming we don't blow ourselves up, us Mesopotamians have to work our way of breaking off the continent (bypass DOOM) to go and hang with the Land of Magan....
The Indus valley can come too.
ZE END.

Do me a favour and reblog this with a show you like that was cancelled after only one season. I don't mean shows that were always meant to be miniseries or shows that work perfectly well as a standalone story, or shows that might still get renewed. I mean shows that are and will forever remain unfinished. The more obscure the better.
