That is the thing though...lost civilizations have been "recorded" and talked about through time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did put recorded in quotes because of the different interpretations of what recorded means. But as far as we know these civilizations did not make their own written recordings of events, what they thought and felt, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But switched to U.S. History which I found more interesting for me. I'm probably more of this school. Reading Brad Meltzer's "The First Conspiracy" (eBook) about New York's Governor Tryon's efforts to turn revolutionary soldiers and even assassinate George Washington. Also "reading" Major Dick Winters' "Beyond Band of Brothers" on audio as I travel about his experiences in WWII. Both have been fascinating reads and are available on the Indiana state library networks free Overdrive platform. I'm not disinterested in ancient world history...just more interested in "The Story of Us" (got that one on DVD). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expect there were at least a few in between the first and the Burr-Hamilton feud, but that is an interesting one. Also interesting how Jefferson and Adams started as founding fathers, morphed into a nasty and lengthy political and personal feud, followed by a late life reconciliation and correspondence and culminated by both dying the same day...the 50th anniversary of the signing of the declaration of independence. Sometimes truth is stranger than fiction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrflynn03 Posted July 23, 2019 Report Share Posted July 23, 2019 I've primarily been interested in US history specifically the revolutionary period, civil war, and the 60's. Also spend time on the structure of our government and how it was intended to function compared to what we have today. Did a report on the crusades in college and that is a subject I intend to learn more about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Ark, artifacts from the last Supper, history of the bloodline of Jesus and Mary Magdelene, assloads of gold and jewels from ancient Egypt, Colonel Sanders' 11 herbs and spices.... You name it.
