hi Reddit. i'm planning on writing a book where one of the main twists involves a villain from Ancient Mesopotamia who's been alive for thousands of years and who was involved in the Bronze Age collapse before being imprisoned, only to plan his escape in the modern day. it's been a few years since i've been into archeology and mythology, and most of my mytho knowledge is Greek. i wanna do some research into what i'm writing before i write about it and to know as much about it as i can. so what are some books about the Bronze Age collapse and its causes, as well as Mesopotamian history and mythology
