There was another page with an excerpt from Gilgamesh. It was stuck to the other page so I didn't see it. Stupid kids and their sticky fingers. I take back my insult but not the

THE ENTIRE MESOPOTAMIAN SECTION WHICH IS 2.5 PAGES OF ARTIFACTS AND 2.5 PAGES OF TEXT ABOUT THEM HAS NO CUNEIFORM IN SIGHT. NOT SUMERIAN. NOT AKKADIAN. NEITHER. IT'S JUST NOT THERE. SHAME ON THEM FOR NOT SHOWING OFF ONE OF THE COOLEST LANGUAGES TO EVER EXIST :(

History Fact #2:
Clay pottery was a hot commodity for the Pueblo people. They hid their household items made of clay in secret locations to prevent other people from outside their community trying to steal them. Was pottery really hard to make? Was it hard to find the right kind of clay that would set up properly? I'm very curious why it was like this, but this book does not say.

History Fact of the Day:
The Mayans wrote with a glyph language that had both a phonetic writing system as well as a pictorial writing system combined into one language. I was originally planning on starting Egyptian hieroglyphs after finishing Akkadian cuneiform, but now I'm reconsidering maybe starting Mayan first. If you have not seen the ancient Mayan written glyphs, definitely look them up. They are really cool

Fun History Fact of the Day:
The first records we have of humans being creative and making art are from South Africa. It's also possible that humans first evolved into what we know our species to be today in Africa.
