Wow, thanks for the information, Sunk--I'm sure you have guessed by now that I am quite a novice at all of this. It is a little frustrating that historical "facts" and theories seem to be constantly changing and now researchers a may be revising "history" once again. A professor once told me that when learning history pick an era that you are particularly interested in and concentrate on it. I find that to be especially true of Ancient History, there is just too much of it to keep straight.
Thanks for giving me so much of your time. I do appreciate all that you do for this ping list.
One other thing, I have a few books that I could throw out they are obviously irrelevant now! LOL! :0(
