Africa:
A great website about all those other civilizations that around Egypt that weren’t Egypt- http://library.thinkquest.org/22845/index.shtml

You gotta love a place called Kush with an X-Group period. Bring on the ancient mutants! - http://library.thinkquest.org/22845/kush/index.shtml

South African history- http://www.sahistory.org.za/pages/mainframe.htm

Ancient Englishmen weren’t the only ones stacking stones- http://home3.inet.tele.dk/mcamara/stones.html



Romans and Jews doing the siege thing:
The siege of Masada, briefly and with cool pictures- http://re-xs.ucsm.ac.uk/re/pilgrimage/masada.htm

Masada even more briefly with even cooler pictures- http://www.abu.nb.ca/courses/NTIntro/images/ZealotMasada.htm

Masada not brief at all, without pictures- http://www.brainfly.net/html/books/brn0268.htm

The Battle of Grunwald:

Crazy Crusaders, Crazy Barbarians and whole lot of interesting slaughter- http://www.kresy.co.uk/grunwald.html

A cool GIS of Grunwald- http://images.google.com/images?q=THE BATTLE OF GRUNWALD&hl=en&lr=&safe=off&sa=N&tab=wi

Kids:
Everyone always asks how to interest their kids. Well, drag them to the computer and let this mouse show them around a 13th century English castle, courtesy of National Geographic- http://www.nationalgeographic.com/castles/enter.html


It isn’t a HiYG thread without mummies!:
Fashonable, beaded mummies. They will be beads of force and such in my game…maybe ioun stones?- http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tm.../ap/20050302/ap_on_sc/egypt_mummies_uncovered



My favorite history link ever:
I love firsthand accounts from history, with all their inherent bias and truth shoved together. Here is a whole site built around eyewitness accounts of history- http://www.eyewitnesstohistory.com/

Great stuff.

I really liked the Battle of Grunwuld piece... that's inspiring stuff.

What I learned today: Don't invite Teutonic knights over, they're not friendly. :)
