I am taking History of Art course. It is so exciting and amusing how old people (B.C) like Egyptians did sculptures, of course their way of writings. And what they pay attention while doing their settlements, temples and so on. As for Greeks, how they constructed the threathre is a quite work of genius. And of course their mythology is so interesting. It is so amusing. I suggest you all take it if you see.

And I have a clip for ya anyway unlike the matter I talked about above. This is something else. I hope you all know it very well. :)

I hope you like it and make comments on it. Ignore the music at the background. Just watch it. This is so awesome ladies and gentlemen.

Conquer of Istanbul(Costantinopole you may remember by that name well)

History is awesome. Political & Art history don't have all that much appeal for me, but the history of warfare is very cool.

Yep, same here... I like my history teacher this year a lot though. We do a lot of fun stuff in her class. Plus, we're doing the Medieval ages right now, which is one of my very favorites.

Medieval ages were kinda chaotic in the end cause there weren`t really whole countries that we know today, many duchy`s and city states etc not to mention the crusades and the mongol invasion.

Not to mention the plague

True- it can get confusing. I think that things like the Crusades, or the feudal system, etc are fascinating though. I also think that the mind set of the time was interesting. For instance, people thought that the plague was there because God was punishing them.
