My interests lie mostly in ancient civilizations, especially those from Mesoamerica. It's really a fascinating period - so much of it has influenced us even now, but we know relatively very little about them. It's exciting to think of how much there is to still learn!

You mean with things like Machu Pichu and the Aztecs? [forgive her blending those this was not part of her school curriculum okay] That does sound very intersting--I've always wondered what it was like to live in truly ancient times, when humans were first building civilizations and inventing the things we take for granted now.

I think what's most amazing is how little has actually changed - our technology may have advanced, and the maps may show different nations, but what drives people now is the same as when Montezuma was on the throne.

Is that so? [That piques her curiosity--people who are on different worlds have similar motivations, of course, so why not people of the past on the same world?] I did read recently that archaeologists had discovered an ancient tablet that was a customer service complaint....

[fistofthejoestar]

About the substandard metal, yes? [he laughs] That's exactly the sort of thing I'm talking about. Our hopes and fears, the things that irritate us in daily life...much of them remain the same.

[monster_san]

Yes, that's the one I was thinking of. [She smiles.] It's always funny to see that people of the distant past acting like we would ourselves. It makes me wonder what future archaeologists will think of us in centuries to come.

So long as they aren't despairing over being unable to translate anything, I should think it won't be too harsh a judgement. We're quite an agreeable lot.
