They walk among us. (And you had hoped you’d left them behind in High School.)
We love history of all kinds. It certainly peels back the layers and piles of what “history actually” means. It’s especially important in this epoch, because – at least in our timeframe – history is spread thick and wide with what is certainly not Ancient nor is it history.
It is due to the machinations of those who just happen to be in power at the moment. But, as they say, the harder they fall. is important because it provides crucial historical perspective, cultural understanding, and the development of critical thinking skills. By studying ancient civilizations, we can understand the roots of modern society, learn from past successes and failures, and see the origins of many of our scientific, political, and artistic achievements. This knowledge helps us to better comprehend current issues and appreciate the long-term patterns of human development and achievement.
We love the BBC, as their desire to learn and to share is as voracious their readers and followers. We count ourselves and members of that flock. Even more, the BBC is as benevolent as it is giving: most of what they hold in their vaults is available for anyone to see (via social media, here) or by taking wing and visiting the British Museum in London.
Once you land, there, you’ll be almost overwhelmed at what the BBC has, and how you can tap into it. History needn’t be onerous or like a forced march: it gives you the tools to really understand history and, hence, the world. (PS – the British museum in London is free.) So, with that introduction, watch the YouTube video featuring Professor Alice Roberts. This might change your slant in a number of ways in live. Thanks, Alice. And thanks, BBC.
You’ve got it all in London. Stay at the hip, slightly wacky nHow. Great location, Unique. Click here
