    This video is pretty cool, I love the throughline of ancient empires founding cities as centers of imperial administration, those cities being abandoned after the empire collapses because they’re pretty useless, and then finding a new purpose as emperors hundreds of years later dug them up to “prove” their claims to the throne. And all of this is thousands of years ago, far enough that we only know about the old empire’s cities because of the archeological work of the slightly-less-ancient civilization!
