That's really a shame how he used dynamite.

why

why would you...

Because that's how they did things back in the Victorian era.

I've developed an obsession with Ancient Rome and Byzantium.
I can't stop looking up Scipio Africanus, Justinian the 1st and Belisarius.

I've developed an obsession with the Victorian Era and the Cold War.

I can't help but enjoy reading of it.

I've developed an obsession about 17th century milling, corn, and the pilgrims.

It's totally not because that's what I talk about all day for my job.

You're a teacher?

Sounds more like a tour guide at a national park.

Political_Slime 2016-08-15 13:16:28 UTC #194

It's closer to what 777 said. I talk with people about the site that I work at, though it's a bit different from being a 'tour guide'.

Leoxander 2016-08-15 15:18:25 UTC #195

I've developed an obsession with building ziggurats.

boehmond 2016-08-18 04:04:52 UTC #196

Okay, it is bad that I enjoy learning about, and almost know more about Ancient Rome than my own country?

LokaCola 2016-08-18 07:11:18 UTC #197

I wouldn't say it's bad, since Ancient Rome is quite fascinating. It's actually climbing up as one of my favorite historical eras to learn about.

Leoxander 2016-08-20 00:38:46 UTC #198

There's also the added plus that people compare the US to Rome a lot.

boehmond 2016-08-20 03:59:52 UTC #199

Ugh, everytime I post a comment on a video about Rome, some guy comes and says "Huns beat Romans you suck XD" Then I reply with "No, the Romans beat the Huns. Look at the battle of Chalons" Then they repeat the first comment.

Iv'e begun to avoid YouTube when looking for historical discussion.

FTFY

So this coming semester, I'm taking a course all about Thucydides.
I am hype

Leoxander 2016-08-21 19:36:21 UTC #201

Bah. Herodotus was better.

Political_Slime 2016-08-21 21:34:38 UTC #202

dude fight me

Nah but seriously, what makes you like Herodotus better? Thucydides doesn't have all that mythology junk.

Leoxander 2016-08-21 21:37:21 UTC #203

Because Herodotus has all that mythology junk

Political_Slime 2016-08-21 21:46:37 UTC #204

but what about when you want actual history, not an account of Zeus' love life?
