‘A Chaos Theory of Cross-cultural Cosmology.
A short essay on a Bronze Age civilisation that challenges parts of the traditional narrative about ancient history’.

The finds potentially point towards a pre ‘axial age’ culture that broadens conceptions of tribal interconnectedness across the Eurasian continent.
