On the one hand, I find the Bronze Age in the Middle East fascinating, for it being the wobbly but ultimately successful dawn of civilization that persists to this day, the beginning of systematic record-keeping and writing that spawned many arts and sciences, the beginning of large-scale social infrastructure and international trade, etc.
