What's your favourite period of history?

I agree Ancient Egypt is pretty interesting. I've just been reading to my kids about it and they love all the gross parts like mummies having their brains pulled out through their noses.

Personally I've always had a bit of a fascination for the French Revolution. Also pre revolutionary France, I was obsessed with the Three Musketeers as a kid. And Tudor and Victorian England both intrigue me. Also the roaring twenties. There are so many other periods that sound like they might be really interesting that I just don't know enough about yet. For example I know next to nothing about Australia before white settlement/invasion, which I really should read up on.

Honestly I don't think that I could choose one period in history! I've been watching a few TV shows placed in different times in history (Boardwalk Empire, The Borgias, Rome etc) and each period seems really fascinating!!

Isn't Boardwalk a great show

How can I just choose one?

Very interested in Ancient History of Europe/UK from sack of Rome 5th century AD, right through to 1603AD, when Queen Elizabeth 1 'ceased to be'.

All times Greece & Egypt....isn't everyone?
And MESO-american Ancient History.

Ancient History is just one subject I informally study to keep the brain working properly!

All history is fascinating and I doubt that I could pick any one time over another.
