This is an excellent high quality channel by a map guy who does proper research, reads the actual papers, cross references them, collates the data, and creates detailed precise maps of ancient cultures, sites, and finds.
Creating the maps is the stuff we see but behind it the real work is diving into old publications, meticulously reading them, and often uncovering cool stuff.

The most terrifying theory of all is that PIE could be a WHG language. Hypothetically WHG Duvensee I2 -> Dnieper Donets I2 -> Sredny Stog I2

Love this Cucuteni-Trypillia ceramic amphora decoration from 4th millennium BC Moldova, along with an artistic reconstruction of the women dancing scene.
I don't know the name of the artist.

The chair (or "throne") models are from Ukraine (the female figures one from west Ukraine, the other from the west side of the Dnieper River) dating to c. 3800 - 3400 BC.
These models are just a few centimeters tall. I wonder if they had real chairs carved from wood or molded from clay (they did that) in the shape of naked women.
After a hard day's work, would you enjoy reclining against two topless women?

Seleucus is one of the most unlikely Diadochi to emerge as a great ruler. He rose to prominence relatively late in Alexander's campaigns. In the immediate succession wars, he was an important leader but of the rank below those that sought to make themselves kings. It was only through about 17 years of political struggles and battles that he would first claim for himself the title of king.
He was clearly a brilliant man but patience and resilience were some of his key virtues.

What ancient kings felt like after conquering a piece of land and declaring themselves "King of the Universe."
Bust of Seleucus I Nicator (c.358-281 BC), Macedonian Greek general of Alexander the Great and founder of the Seleucid Empire. Seleucus' son and successor, Antiochus I Soter, is the last known ruler to use the ancient Mesopotamian title "King of the Universe."
