This week sees us finish our overview of the northern Levantine coast by talking about the foundations of Ugarit and Adana, the mystery of who founded them, and the differences between them. We also talk about a couple of smaller sites in the border regions between the two.

This week's episode is focused on the geography and some etymology of the regions we talked about in our central Levant episode and the places we will be discussing for the next week or two. I had some questions come in about several of the places and I though this might be a good time to slow down a bit and talk about it. Next week's episode we see us shift back to discussing in more depth the people and sites occupying the places I talk about this week.
