Ancient history [Re: Missing footnotes [was RE: Our Museum Need a special help..]]

An entire class on ancient magic? I presume its going over multiple languages and beliefs then right?

I'm taking classics, so this semester I'm tackling Latin. Did Ancient Greek last year. One thing about it, the classes are great! One class I'm taking right now is ancient magic. Today's lecture was on techniques for evoking ghosts, previous lecture was on types of ancient ghosts. I'm someone who grew up on Indiana Jones, and greatly enjoyed The Mummy. So to read ancient spells and that sort of thing is a real thrill. IMO, classics majors get to have the most fun. Last fall I even had the chance to participate in a dig at Point Pelee. I spent the day sifting dirt from a sight that was a thousand years old, and finding lots of potsherds. -------- Paul Anderson -- VE3HOP
