Not to be pain in the arse, but if you are writing something that is so similar to a book that other people, using the same book, write things so similar that some members suspect plagarism, you should probably refer to the book in your text, or at least have it in a bibliography.Quote:

It seems a mammoth project considering you are writing a history of the entire world, why not pick an area of history that you are particulary interested in and do work on that, so you get a feel for writing and publishing. I did work on a history book, photography and research, it is enjoyable to do, but hard work, and a lot of money.
i study ALOT of history mostly Europe
European history is my favourite too, mainly 16th-19th centuries, but also the medieval period as well.
i like europe

Rome’s Beginnings
Today’s Roman citizens can stand on one of there city’s seven hills and look out over statues and buildings made two thousand years ago. But Rome is even older than that. According to legend, the city was founded in 735 B.C. by one of two twin boys. As babies, Romulus and Remus were put into a basket and tossed into the Tiger River. Rescued by a she wolf who nursed them, the twins lived and grew up. One of them Romulus, founded Rome on a hill near the Tiber and became Rome’s first king. After that, Rome supposedly had seven Kings. The last of them were Etruscans, people from cities in northern and central Italy. The Romans defeated the last Etruscan King in about 509 BC, and Rome became a republic that lasted for about 500 years.
The year should be 753 b.C., and that's only according to legend. Rome became a real city around 600 b.C., the walls were laid by the Etruscan Kings and the Etruscans probably gave it the name 'Roma' as well, though its meaning is unknown (the few very short Etruscan texts that we possess are hard to decypher). Rome has a lot to thank the Etruscans for, including its early military successes, because the Etruscan Kings organised the citizenry into tribus under tribuni and trained them to fight in phalanges.Quote:
