The ancient era saw us laying down roots and adopting the agrarian focus of the Harappans. Well, “Agrarian” can be interpreted very loosely, but regardless, it is time for us to grow and evolve. Cue the Pokemon evolution music because our Harappans are about to evolve into… the Persians! (Persian Persian!)

Very excited to see how this next era plays out. I love how your buildings change as you advance and the way you can amalgamate different cultures.
I really enjoy this episode. I had actually asked myself the same question, whether it is clever to rush through the eras or better to do some development first.
The changing cultures as you advance eras looks like it solves one of Civ's main problems, that of obsolete national units. If you picked an "early" civilization (i.e. one that didn't survive as a power into the modern era) in Civ, then you got a nice powerful unit available in the early game which became completely irrelevant by about halfway though. This way you're always able to have a unit appropriate for the era you're in, and I rather like that.
