Hi there.

I'm not an archaeologist, but i studied classics and had a few friends that did Archaeology modules. As with most subjects, it needs a good teacher to bring it alive, but you can't really plan for that! The people who studied it seemed to enjoy it anyway.

The corporations remain in your country and they provide many jobs. They also pay taxes. General Motors in [sic] not owned by the US government but it employs many people and it pays taxes to the government."

Any literate person alive today will have noticed whi

History? That's a foggy issue to say the least. It's much like The Matrix...
