🏛️ Poems even OLDER than The Odyssey? ⛵

Oh yes, discover a colossal collection of poetry almost lost to history in ‘Unearthed’ by archaeologist Nick Bateman @nickbateman9296.

Meet a Sumerian priestess writing about war in 2300 BCE (possibly the earliest poem in existence), a grief-stricken Greek girl remembering her childhood friend, an Arab princess from 11th-century Spain embroidering verses on her robes and a lonely Irish monk addressing his cat.

The poems encompass passionate love lyrics, laments for vanished youth, elegies for deceased friends and lovers, epics about death and destruction, and odes to fresh fruit and vegetables.

🏛️ Pre-order your copy now via our website (link in bio) and from all good bookshops.
🏛️ Publishing 1 October 2026.
