Anonymous said...: Some of the archeology programs on History and Discovery channels are pretty good. But I am cautious of ones making sociological assumptions about more ancient times. Especially if they focus specifically on gender issues.

I saw one where the narrator was talking about dating behavior in contemporary England. Frankly, I doubt that was particurly accurate. But he went ot to extrapolate it not only to the entire world, but the entire world thru all of history. I gagged and swiftly turned it off. And it was by the supposedly reputable BBC.

Most of what we "know" about history and prehistory, we don't.; 12:02 PM
