It's damn interesting and entertaining. I love it!! And there's still so much to be found out.
It sort of repeats itself. There' ve always been persons thinking they could rule the world - more or less successful.
And wars about the same things - mainly religious matters.
It's fascinating what the ancients knew about construction, medicine etc. Romans invented concrete and after 2000 years they still can't bring it down - even with explosions. They tried in Cologne there's a bit of Roman city wall where they wanted to extend an underground parking lot. Was indestructible.
Or about the Pyramids. The laws of physics haven't changed since then but it's amazing to see these things are still standing.

I understand that History is more than just the occasional Trivia question in the History category of Yahoo Answers.

That it is what out Government and, our world is built upon. Our former leaders, our for-fathers worked and, toiled to give us the strength, the stamina, the tools, to push forward and, continue to build on what they started. To build on an honest framework of a democratic process and, work to instill a democratic process in the future of the world.
We have made mistakes in the past, granted, these are part of our history and we have them to rebuild on, the "lest we forget" reasons to push forward and, hold our heads high. To use freedom and, not religion as a excuse to help and, aid people to a democratic government.

That it can be pretty darn entertaining - - - and though history does not quite repeat itself it is perversely ironic and yes there are those weird matters that seem like fiction but are in fact fact - - - and it is fascinating how much history remains hidden clouded by misconceptions deceptions ignorance indifference interference...

To know true history you have to search for it
Because true history lies between what is written
history and fiction
