Do YOU like learning and reading about history?

[Still-alive]

I'm preparing to brush up on my ancient world history next month. getting things prepared for it. i find history so fascinating. i majored in it in college. :D

wbu?

Yes i like reading about history too

Depends on the history

Sorta

Not really i find it boring!

[Apulu_backagain]

I love history, but not in books. I like seeing historical videos or listen to someone talk about it. The remember dates part sucks the most but apart from that I really love history.

[Still-alive]

Ill be watching documentaries too :)

[LazloValenka]

One, thing I like about videos is they often times dive deeper into history that you wouldn't know by reading about it in a book.

[Apulu_backagain]

@LazloValenka yeah and they're more engaging too! I remember more by videos than just texts in case of history.

I absolutely love it. I am reading a history book at the moment on Roman Britain.

[Still-alive]

ohh nice. people probably forget the roman empire extended that far north

[thegreenyogi]

Yes I think so too!!

[thegreenyogi]

Thank you!

[Maybe_Maybe_not]

I do like it, but contextually only.

I mean I don't enjoy History for itself, I only enjoy it when I can connect it to another idea, most likely a societal one, or economy, or culture. For instance, I'm interested in slavery during Roman empire because I'm connecting it to unpaid labour allowing a selected few to come up with many ideas we're still using now, like philosophy.

I used to and sometimes still like reading about Greece and Rome history because I love the Greek and Roman mythology but I have mostly been into reading about philosophy lately.

[Still-alive]

You are probably a well read person im guessing :)

[Simslover92]

Thanks 🙂. I think I'm ok. I used to read a lot more than I do now.

I've read more than a few articles but I prefer a historical documentary. I quite like places with a long history, there's something about walking where people have walked for hundreds of years and seeing what they experienced.

[queenofcardio]

It depends on the topic. Some of it is interesting.

[Still-alive]

Which parts interest you? things related to your heritage maybe?

[queenofcardio]

Yes, cultural stuff is interesting.

[Still-alive]

agreed

[12karen]

I like to watch history documentary, but learning at school or uni not at all

I hate it

[Still-alive]

I'll teach it better to you :P

[12karen]

loll

[Xawyx-2]

Of course, history is one of my favorite subjects.

[Xawyx-2]

The main problem in my country is - children mostly learn historical fabrications as "history".

[Twalli]

I got a degree in history.

[WhitneySnow]

Yes!

[LazloValenka]

I like reading about ancient cultures.

[MisterWack]

Yes.
