Inside the First City Ever Built by Humans | History for Sleep

What did life feel like inside humanity’s very first city?

Long before empires, before writing, and before monumental architecture, humans made a quiet but revolutionary decision: to live together in one permanent place. The first city was not defined by walls or rulers, but by shared space, shared routines, and shared survival. Tonight, we gently step inside that earliest urban world, to understand how the idea of a city was born.

In this History for Sleep episode, we drift through the remains of the world’s earliest known cities, such as Çatalhöyük and other Neolithic settlements. With calm narration and unhurried pacing, you’ll explore narrow living spaces, rooftop pathways, shared hearths, and early social structures. You’ll discover how daily life unfolded without streets, without kings, and without written laws — and how these early experiments in living together shaped everything that followed. This is early urban history told softly — designed for reflection, curiosity, and rest.

🪐 Featuring:
– What defines the first human city
– Daily life before streets and written language
– How early humans lived, worked, and gathered
– Social organization without rulers or governments
– Why cities changed human history forever

🎧 Listen, relax, and let the past feel close.
Each shared wall, each communal fire, each quiet dwelling — a reminder that civilization began not with power, but with proximity.
