The past isn’t what it used to be. I’m fascinated with ancient history, but I suspect that our knowledge of it is quite limited. In particular, I suspect that the dominant paradigm of the “story” of the deep past is quite wrong. There are signs that the ancient world, especially the prehistoric world, was quite different from what we generally imagine it to be. I’m drawn to thinkers who who present dissenting views of the deep past, and have some of their works in my library.
