Welcome to Bedtime History. Hello, this is Breck.

I'm super excited to announce Bedtime History's very first novel.

It's a fast-paced time travel adventure about two teen agents who work for a secret organization that protects history.

Their mission is to stop a mysterious enemy from changing the past and messing up the future.

Along the way they visit iconic locations, meet famous adventers, and learn why these moments in history matter.

It's packed with action, curiosity, and imagination, perfect for kids who love

adventure and discovering how the world was shaped. The book is now available on Amazon as both

an e-book and print book. Just search Explorer Society, World's Fair Conspiracy, or check the

show notes of my latest episodes for a direct link. I'd love for you to check it out, and all proceeds

go to supporting bedtime history. Imagine walking into a grand building made of stone, deep

inside the King's Palace. The halls are quiet and cool, and the air smells like earth and clay.

Instead of shelves full of books, there are rows and rows of clay tablets, stacked carefully in neat piles.

Some are small enough to hold in your hand. Others are large and heavy.

Every one of them is covered in tiny marks. Wed-shaped symbols pressed into the surface with a reed tool.

These symbols are called CUNY form,

and they are used to record everything from stories to shopping lists. This is not just any room.

It is one of the first libraries in the world. The library belongs to King Ashurbanipal of Assyria.

He is not only a ruler, he is a reader. He built this library in his palace in

Nineveh because he wanted to collect all the knowledge in the world. He filled it with over

30,000 clay tablets. There are tablets about stars and plants, letters from faraway kings,

lists of animals, instructions for doctors,

and magical spells. Most special of all, there are stories, old, powerful stories, saved for future generations. This library was Asherbanapal's treasure, and because he protected it, we are still learning from it thousands of years later.
