I am Prateek Dasgupta, a writer curious about lost civilizations, the history of science and human evolution. After completing my Masters in Materials Science, and a career in manufacturing, I am pursuing my lifelong passion for writing.

I write about people and objects from the past who didn’t make it to your textbooks and Nat-Geo documentaries. Myths, legends and scientific discoveries fascinate me.

I run a publication on Medium called Teatime History. My work is featured in History of Yesterday, Lessons From History, The Startup, Writing Cooperative, Better Humans, Better Marketing, Publishous and Data Driven Investor.
