The Origins of the Ultimate Knowledge have long been encased in the impenetrable Mist of Ignorance. Long has been my quest to try and reach it and thought the years long gone, I have gained a great deal of Knowledge from many, many fields, which includes History as well. She has been a good mistress and she has given me many and hour of well used Time. Since then, she has not left my side, nor did I forget her, even though I I'm now much closer to the Origins as I was before.

I apologise, I don't know what got over me. What I wanted to say, is that I can't remember. I do know that when my parents bought me a children encyclopedia, the first thing I did was check Ancient cultures. I liked how it was shown and since, I have become even more interested. I must admit though, it has only been in this last year, that I have taken a greater interest in Antiquity.

OT: Does anyone know any good pre-Greek books. Iron, bronze age cultures? I'm interested in this part of history right now, before the creating of the first great states we know today.
