I have completed the paper titled "Beyond the Pillars of Hercules". I have made loads of corrections in the draft copy and for the first time used expressions from a special glossary which I fill in on a parallel basis with my reading the topic. I am hopeful that my new article has become much more presentable.
However, I will refrain from uploading it on the site before offering it to some magazines, many of which insist on exclusive rights. I will also appeal to Mr. Misyuk, the editor of the Russian-language literary magazine 'The Captain's Cabin' who is going to publish my previous article, 'How Wide Spans the Ocean Sea' next month. You can find this paper on my site https://www.academia.edu/41214506/How_Wide_Spans_the_Ocean_Sea
As for my second book, "The Enchanting Encounter with the East", I will address several small publishing houses which accept manuscript from authors. It should be a traditional publisher whom I will give full rights for publication. Meanwhile, I will continue uploading additional chapters from the book on my site.
Not long ago, I resumed my interest in ancient Mesopotamia, the subject of my first book, "Dawn and Sunset". This time, I will try to understand the rise of the urban elite in the pristine cities, especially in Northern Mesopotamia, which is becoming a new bonanza of information on early urbanism. I have started compiling a dataset that I may use sometime in the future.
Meanwhile, I am gleaning info about the rediscovery of the Fortunate (Canary) Islands in the course of The Little Age of Discovery (i.e. the fourteenth century).
