Bronze Age Networks: The Temporal Witnesses, Volume 2

By Ricardo Gómez

The Temporal Witnesses Volume 3: Bronze Age Networks
Ancient peoples weren't isolated. They were globally connected. And someone doesn't want you to know.

Cuchu Ramirez and Matias Kim have mastered the basics of time travel, but their greatest discovery awaits. As federal restrictions threaten to eliminate pre-Columbian studies nationwide, they journey back 3,500 years to witness the Bronze Age Networks-and uncover proof that ancient peoples were more globally connected than modern politicians want students to believe.

The Heritage Foundation 2.0 has escalated from state censorship to federal coordination, systematically erasing evidence of sophisticated ancient internationalism. But Cuchu and Matias have 48 hours to witness trade networks, cultural exchange, and technological sharing that spanned continents millennia before European "exploration."

Three Civilizations. Three Trade Networks. One Ancient Globalization.

CHAV N DE HU NTAR, PERU (1200 BCE): High in the Andes, a religious and cultural center influences communities across thousands of miles. Cuchu experiences how artistic innovations and spiritual practices spread through voluntary cultural exchange, creating the first pan-Andean civilization without conquest or colonization.

CAHOKIA'S EARLY PERIOD, ILLINOIS (1200 BCE): The foundations of North America's greatest pre-Columbian city reveal continental trade networks moving materials from the Great Lakes to the Gulf Coast to the Rocky Mountains. Matias documents economic systems that connected diverse communities in voluntary cooperation across vast distances.

KNOSSOS, CRETE (1450 BCE): At the height of Minoan civilization, they witness sophisticated maritime trade connecting Africa, Asia, and Europe. Palace workshops process materials from three continents while female leaders negotiate international agreements-a cosmopolitan Bronze Age world that challenges every assumption about ancient "primitiveness."

But witnessing ancient globalization makes them targets. The Heritage Foundation 2.0 reveals supernatural capabilities, using both digital manipulation and mystical interference to prevent historical truth from reaching students. As mass teacher resignations create educational chaos and underground networks become the only source of accurate history, Cuchu and Matias realize they're not just preserving the past-they're fighting for the future of human knowledge.

When they erase cultural connections, they erase what makes us human.

This volume reveals:

Ancient trade networks that connected continents through voluntary cooperation, not conquestCultural exchange systems demonstrating how innovations spread through peaceful interactionBronze Age internationalism that rivals modern global connectionsFemale leadership in ancient international diplomacy and trade negotiationTechnological sharing across vast distances without cultural dominanceSpiritual influence spreading through artistic and religious innovation

Perfect for fans of: Kate Elliott's political fantasy, N.K. Jemisin's worldbuilding, and anyone who loves discovering that ancient peoples were far more sophisticated and connected than mainstream narratives admit.
