This morning I was searching for (and found) the music to the Discovery Channel’s “Planet Earth” U.S. trailer. I put the song on repeat a few times and then felt the need to continue the mood with some more cinematic sounding music so I naturally put on E.S. Posthumus’s album “Unearthed” and decided to check to see if their new album was set to be released yet. No dice. But while looking through their wikipedia page I found out something interesting that should’ve been glaringly obvious, but I had never paid attention to before…
TRACK LISTINGS
In keeping with the theme of “all things past”, each of the thirteen tracks on the album are named after an ancient or long-standing city.
- “Antissa“
- “Tikal“
- “Harappa“
- “Ulaid“
- “Ebla“
- “Nara“
- “Cuzco“
- “Nineveh“
- “Lepcis Magna“
- “Menouthis“
- “Estremoz“
- “Pompeii“
- “Isfahan“

And so now I’m going to add another goal to my Life Goals list. Visit all the ancient cities named on E.S. Posthumus’ album ‘Unearthed’ that are still standing. And the cool thing is, I’ve already been to Pompeii! Bonus!
