Reply to comment by ThePrussianGrippe in Discovery of embalming workshop reveals how ancient Egyptians mummified the dead by Magister_Xehanort

Check out the Great Courses series called "The Economic History of the World Since 1400" or something along those lines. It is INCREDIBLE. It's on Prime if you've got it.

It's definitely a broad overview because you can only fit so much in a course, but dang, is it ever useful. It's great context for where we are and how we got here.

This is way too recent, basically covering the silk roads and emerging "Indies Companies" rather than Ancient Egypt and their contemporaries. Is there any documentary about ancient trade networks?

CE. It describes itself as being about modern history...

I assume OP is either American or young.
