Well, since I have enough content recorded for all of August and September, I figured it would be fun to release some more stuff early! Hope you all like Ancient Japan!
Japan is one of the most continuous, and ancient, societies in human history. The roots of the civilization go deep into the past, but before we examine Japanese society, we need to first cover the Jōmōn Period--the Japanese Stone Age, which lasted roughly from 14,000 to 300 BC. After the Jōmōn comes the Yayoi period, adn with it the famous, mysterious Queen Himiko.
