  Welcome to my brain. I always start from here, and zoom
  backwards whenever somebody mentions something historical and I
  get a 'feeling' for the time. Works in the other direction too.

  And for me, I _hate_ the missing pieces. Our education in
  history needs drastic improvement and most historical materials
  out there are VERY biased, 1/2 of it is crap - the ignorance of
  the authors and modern biases sticking out worse than some
  situation where body parts a person is trying to hide is/are
  sticking out...

  We're taught history in a 'jumping around' fashion, usually all
  to support some kind of conclusion, COMPLETELY ignoring context,
  the surrounding cultures, the 'feel' of the times, and in the
  process, INSERTING their own biases, usually involving people
  long ago stupid, we smart.... except for that ONE VISIONARY WHO
  SAW THE FUTURE/SAW THE TRUTH AMIDST ALL THE SURROUNDING
  IGNORANCE...... ugh. such an old script.
