    Archaeologists have concluded that the south Mesopotamian city of Ur (in modern Iraq), first established in 3800 BCE, covered 60 acres and was enclosed by a city wall, made of fired bricks. Although it was a desert city, its position between two rivers meant it was well irrigated. By 600... More

    There were two competing claimants for the original settlement of Dallas; they produced conflicting surveys resulting in the doglegged streets that persist today in Downtown. Dallas is a byword for brash Texas glitz epitomized by the eponymous soap opera. After one major boom and bust based on cotton in the... More

    Dublin was the capital of the English Lordship of Ireland.

    Before the Stuart Restoration, Dublin was a miserable relict of less than 9,000 inhabitants depopulated by plague and decades of war.

Its transport links were... More
