Until the lions have their historians, tales of the hunt shall always glorify the hunters.  --African Proverb

History, real solemn history,  tells me nothing that does not either vex or weary me. The quarrels of popes and kings, with wars or pestilences, in every page; the men all so good for nothing, and hardly any women at all -- it is very tiresome: and yet I often think it odd that it should be so dull, for a great deal of it must be invention. --Catherine Morland, Northanger Abbey by Jane Austen

What if I told you that great civilizations thrived before the Greeks and Romans? In India, the Aegean, Africa. Everywhere really. Lost cities that you’ve never heard of and a way of life that you probably never dreamed existed.  --Faye, The Granite Key
