Blogger and iTunes
I just found out that the first few episodes of TAW are no longer showing up on iTunes, which is obviously an issue for new subscribers. I'm working to address the issue, but in the meantime, if any listeners have any advice on making Blogger and iTunes play nice (via Feedburner) please let me know. Thanks! Scott C.

Episode 20 – The House of Succession
In the mid-7th century BC, Nubia and Assyria
struggled for control over Egypt before the kingdom regained independence
under the pharaoh Psamtik I. King Gyges
of Lydia drove the Cimmerians from western Anatolia and sent Greek mercenaries
to reinforce the pharaoh’s armies. Ashurbanipal
spent decades warring against the Empire’s enemies, including his older brother
in Babylon, but his total destruction of the ancient kingdom of Elam sowed the
seeds of Assyria’s downfall.

Episode 19 - The Destruction of Sennacherib
“The city and its
houses, from its foundations to its walls, I destroyed, I devastated, I burned
with fire. The wall and outer wall,
temple-tower of brick and earth, temples and gods, and many as there were, I
razed and dumped into the Arahtu-Canal.
Through the midst of the city I dug canals, flooded its site with water,
and the very foundations thereof I destroyed.
I made its destruction more complete than by a flood. That, in days to come, the site of the city,
its temples and gods, might not be remembered, I completely blotted it out with
floods of water, and made it like a meadow.” – Sennacherib of Assyria
In the early 7th century BC, Sennacherib wrestled
with Judean defiance, Urartian resurgence, and Elamite invasion, but his
destruction of the ancient city of Babylon led to his demise. His son, Esarhaddon, warred against the
Nubian pharaoh Taharqa to extend Assyrian domination into Lower Egypt.
