This travel brochure describing a historical war campaign is a transformation of my second origin piece, a larger essay comparing the ties between war and religion in the eras of Sargon and Herodotus.Â
Because of my increasing interest in politics and political history, I wanted to attempt a satirical piece criticizing these war involvements. That led me to the somewhat cartoonish, colorful travel brochure, where Sargon and Assyrian Empire Co. present as incredibly poor tour guides attempting to convince ordinary people to make sacrifices.
