    Extractions: The traditional historical view of the demise of the Celts has the Roman legions blasting their way across Europe, massacring the Celtic tribes as they went and everywhere obliterating the traditional Celtic way of life. Everywhere that is except in plucky Ireland and obdurate Scotland whose populations remained invincible to the last - with eventually the great Hadrian admitting defeat and building a wall beyond which no civilised Roman would dream of venturing. The Roman way of life completely wiped out the Celtic traditions in England, and when indolence and excess finally caused the collapse of Roman Britain, and the legions left, the void was filled by marauding German bands of Angles and Saxons who came across the North Sea and pushed the remnants of Celtic England back into the western hills where they became Welsh and incomprehensible. Meanwhile, an Irish Celtic tribe called the Scotti liked the look of Islay and the green hills of Kintyre and Knapdale, and either thrashed the native Epidii, or more likely ravished their daughters and purloined their land. They formed the ancient Kingdom of Dalraida and eventually, through a series of wars with the remnant Scottish Celts (the Picts and others) united Celtic Scotland and formed Glasgow Celtic football club The Angles and Saxons however had grabbed Ayrshire, the Borders and the Central belt and set up Glasgow Rangers football club. These superficial religious and ethnic differences are swept aside in the modern world, as Scots of every shape, size and orientation come together at frequent intervals to form the Tartan Army which cheerfully wanders the globe to witness the glorious defeats of our national team.

    Extractions: Archaeology My mother passed on her interest in archaeology and ancient history to me as a child. Her primary interests lay in Ancient Egypt and the Near East. I still retain a deep interest in the history of these cultures as well as many others. I am particularly interested in the effects of catastrophes on peoples throughout history. Archaeological Regions Africa Egypt Alexandria, Egypt by Alaa K. Ashmawy offers an online guide to this historically important city. Includes information on the history of the city, a picture gallery, maps, links to other sites about Alexandria, and more.

    Extractions: After over 170 years since the decipherment by Champollion of the ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs, inscriptions from antiquity continue to be discovered and old texts persist in yielding new insights. Some scripts such as Easter Island's rongo-rongo still seem to defy translation while the understanding of the ancient Mayan glyphs is beginning to flourish. The study of ancient languages and scripts is alive and well! My interest in languages is widespread and includes several European languages, Arabic, Hebrew, Akkadian, Sumerian and those of Polynesia, along with Ancient Egyptian, of course. Regarding the latter, I am involved in a study of ancient Egyptian funerary cones. These ceramic and typically cone-shaped (though by no means exclusively so) objects are stamped with biographical funerary inscriptions and appear to have been a component in tomb architecture although their full function and meaning remain enigmatic. The inscriptions are very useful and have been the focus of most studies but a consideration of these objects apart from the texts themselves is rarely undertaken. My present study of these interesting objects views them not only as inscriptions, but as three-dimensional artifacts with great variety in terms of size, shape, color, and material. An example of an Egyptian funerary cone text.

    Extractions: CASKE 2000 Stories Culture Guatemala Tikal STORY FROM GUATEMALA Tikal, the Ancient Mayan City of Guatemala 4/24/99 by Jean-Philippe Soule My favorite view was from the top of a pyramid called Mundo Perdido (the lost world). The climb offered a breathtaking view of Temple 1, 2, 3 and 4 towering above the tree canopy. They seemed isolated and preserved forever. What surprised me in Tikal was the lack of tourists. It is remarkably uncrowded for a site which is magnificent and world famous. I came for the opening of the park at 6:00 AM out of fear of having to fight my way through a crowd during mid-day. A few tourists and school groups were present between 10:00 AM and noon, then the place was deserted. Most people preferred to return to their hotel or alternatively sit in the protection of a fan in a restaurant instead of climbing temples under the powerful heat. In the late afternoon the only visitors left were howler monkeys which roared like an army of lions. Tikal is one of those places you just wished you had more time to visit longer. Your interest could be art, anthropology, archeology, history, ecology, bird watching or just to look for a peaceful place in a beautiful rainforest, whatever your purpose, Tikal will easily seduce you and remain etched in your memory.

    Extractions: The Maya, sons of the days, are made up of time," Eduardo Galleano recently wrote. He was referring to two things: their brilliant traditional calendars, products of astronomical knowledge until recently unrivaled by any other culture. And the Mayan ability to endure. The Mayan ruins of central America are from cities that fell into decline long before Columbus. But many of the traditions reflected in the architecture and art from these sites live on in the modern Mayan world.

This treasured, as well as commonplace item is chocolate. Originally consumed as a spicy drink, chocolate can be traced back to the ancient Mayan and Aztec civilizations in Mexico, Central and South America where the Theobroma cacao tree, or cocoa tree, grows wild in tropical rain forests. Solid chocolate as we know it today wasn't created until the late 1800's in Europe. Hundreds of years before the Europeans got into the act, the Mayans and the Aztecs treasured the cacao beans, or later to be called cocoa, for both their value as an ingredient for their special drink and as a currency. Their drink was made from ground cocoa beans. Since sugar was unknown to the Aztecs, they flavored the ground beans with spices, chili peppers and corn meal. Some say it was frothed and eaten with a spoon. The Aztec emperor, Montezuma, was said to drink chocolate that was thick as honey and dyed red.

    Extractions: Many dangerous animals occupied this region of the peninsula including the jaguar, the caiman (a fierce crocodile), the bull shark, and many species of poisonous snakes. These animals had to be avoided as the Maya scavenged the forest for foods including deer turkey, peccaries, tapirs, rabbits, and large rodents such as the peca and the agouti. Many varieties of monkeys and quetzal also occupied the upper canopy. The climate of the Highlands greatly contrasted with that of the Lowlands as it was much cooler and drier. Both the Highlands and the Lowlands were important to the presence of trade within the Mayan civilization. The lowlands primarily produced crops which were used for their own personal consumption, the principle cultigen being maize. They also grew squash, beans, chili peppers, amaranth, manioc, cacao, cotton for light cloth, and sisal for heavy cloth and rope. The volcanic highlands, however, were the source of obsidian, jade, and other precious metals like cinnabar and hematite that the Mayans used to develop a lively trade. Although the lowlands were not the source of any of these commodities, they still played an important role as the origin of the transportation routes. The rainfall was as high as 160 inches per year in the Lowlands and the water that collected drained towards the Caribbean or the Gulf of Mexico in great river systems. These rivers, of which the Usumacinta and the Grijalva were of primary importance, were vital to the civilization as the form of transportation for both people and materials.
