[Constitution Day]

I've always wanted to see them too.
I grew up reading about them in the Bible, but took some ancient history courses and was even more interested.

A book behind me on my bookshelf right now is Ancient Iraq by Georges Roux.
I highly recommend it!

Thanks ... I'll look for that in the library and on the Internet. In the library in Tulsa, there was a series of videos about archaelogical sites, with footage of the actual digs plus computer recreations of what it might have looked like "new." Bill reminded me about them today, and I'll be searching the library catalogs here.

There is so much neat historical stuff out there. Hopefully the next 20 years or so will bring us good-quality video, with source-document backup, etc., on much of it. Most of us just can't travel to these places! I spent 14 years of Spanish class seeing videos about Spain, Mexico, and South America ... but I'll probably never see any of it in Real Life!
