Hello all:

I've recently been reading a series of articles about Catal Huyuk,
perhaps the oldest known human settlement, and I realize how thrilling
ancient history can be. Even so, I'm afraid my knowledge of it is
pretty hit-or-miss.

Would you consider sharing your favorite ancient history websites with
me and others? Personally, I am especially interested in Sumerian
history, the history of ancient Greece, and the early history of
China. But please feel free to share any favorite websites devoted to
the ancient history of humankind even if they are not directed toward
these special interests of mine.

Thank you in advance for your help!

Brandon

Also http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/ for primary sources though it's
sometimes slow and the layout could be better.

I also have Jona's website bookmarked.

Thank you for this excellent website, Jona! It is especially rich in
photographic content, which is great.

I'm also happy to see that it lists Forum Romanum as a related site:

I've used this site quite a number of times.

Thanks again!

Brandon

Brandon,

A very good way in collecting sites on the subject. But it should seem to me useful to define
the limit. I suppose history of Europe and Middel East till 476 C.E., but how about Chinese,
American and other cultures?

Regards,

John-Charles.

I personally like Antiquated Ideas: http://antiquatedideas.com/. It's
a well-organized, beautifully illustrated forum site. Problem is,
there aren't too many people there...
