# Hmm
Swap to the History Channel ones then. (Or read the book of the Bible Unearthed. I think you'd find a lot to argue in there -- and there is a lot to argue; they're building an argument from interpretation the same as anyone -- but it is worth it, I reckon.) They do say a lot in 15 minutes. None of it is technically accurate and it might rapidly give you apoplexy, but I find that kind of thing entertaining, myself.


Edit: Also, I've watched through Neil Oliver's History of... series recently (so far as I know he's got Ancient Britain, Celtic Britain and, I dunno, Bronze Age Britain or something), and they're also very good.

# Hmm could be interesting
Maybe I'll dig out a History Channel documentary on Sumerian civilisation. I'm sure that aliens and pyramids must be involved somewhere.

# well look up Sitchin then,
he's still active as far as I know.

Or go to a green festival, they're a hoot.

# haha that sounds quite entertaining
though i'm not sure i'd survive it. i'll definitely look this guy up if he's extremely irritating and fond of misrepresenting "evidence" to back up his "theories"

# oh and this guy too

I picked up 1421 in Blackwells once, looking for something on ancient Chinese history. Read the back, put it down again. Just nuts.
