Ancient History

[ZeUs!!]

Ancient civilisations have always been what interests me most (football and music aside), but I'm wondering if anyone had any references or had found any interesting stuff on it?

Google, Wikipedia and Orlando Bloom are not references

[Suh]

Civilisations around those kind of times, like the Hittites and the Phoenicians

Ancient history..

Hmmm, I think Sweeper is captain of Ancients and started it with some other fins.

Ancients are not quite accepted by the trenchwars society because they have a member called DEA.

For more info about Ancients history I would suggest you goto the source (ask sweeper)

I like the old Greeks, read the odyssee and currently reading the Iliad, I have done papers on it and stuff, but it depends what you want to know.

[ZeUs!!]

I've also studied them in my spare time, and have access to academic journals through JSTOR and my Athens Account, just wondered if anyone had any personal recommendations

[Galleleo]

I guess I should go through my uni's library one day to see what they got..

I also love stuff about the ancients Japanese culture, samurai and stuff.

[ÆNIMA]

I believe that this might shine some light. Pardon me if something is not understood...just laugh at it, in other words.

[Material Girl]

I read a blog written by a guy who listed Ancient Egypt as an interest.

He was followed home, the night before, by a cat with no eyes. Kinda creepy.

:fear:
