Just wondering, do any of you have favorite historical periods or regions? If so, why? Or do you have any historical periods or regions you really hate?

I generally don't have a favorite historical period or region, but I do really hate modern history, American history, 17th-18th century European history, and pre-modern Japanese history. I guess I vaguely enjoy ancient and medieval history. Lately, however, I'm getting really drawn to ancient Middle Eastern history, particularly that concerning around the Silk Road. I guess I'm also starting to warm up to Ancient Egypt again (which I loved as a kid).

Even though it could be smelled that the two of them were eaten and butchered around as if the other ones had experience, I can obviously tell you two are eating peacefully without being disturbed.

I blame Sherlock Holmes for my recent Victorian inspirations.

the late Roman Republic from the end of the 3rd Punic War onward to Augustus. . I'm currently reading a series of historical novels about the period by Colleen McCullough, great stuff.

I like more 'primitive' societies; sort of slightly into the iron age and earlier in most cases.
This may be why I'm fascinated with several modern Indonesian and African tribes and am slightly disappointed when I see a member from an otherwise stone age people wearing a blue t-shirt...

I like pre-historic times and maybe early civilisations.

Things started to get boring in ancient Greece

I like the 1964-1980 period in the Western and Latin American civilizations. Why did it ever have to come to an end?
