Hey Everyone,
Tl:dr - Need opinions on which to start reading about Ancient History? And what era/civilization/empire excites you personally in the Ancient History?
In the past up until a few months ago, i was not interested in history at all because it's not taught well here, it never makes u curious, it makes one run away from it because they make it an essay to memorize.
Recently i was on some site, i saw an article about 'The Battle of Stalingrad'.
Now this bugged me because 10+ years of history and all i remember is this name but i don't remember why and what happened.
This led me to read about it and i ended up loving history because now I've read about both world wars, many wars, revolutions, watch movies, watch documentaries.
Now I wanna get into Ancient History, so what's the best event to start reading it or what particular Ancient History excites you.
Actual history noob here so I hope this question makes sense.
Thanks in advance to all you!
P.S: You can also suggest me some underrated books/documentaries/movies on World War.
I would love to see/read many other point of views.
Hi there anyone interested in recommending things to OP! While you might have a title to share, this is still a thread on /r/AskHistorians, and we still want the replies here to be to an /r/AskHistorians standard - presumably, OP would have asked at /r/history or /r/askreddit if they wanted a non-specialist opinion. So give us some indication why the thing you're recommending is valuable, trustworthy, or applicable! Posts that provide no context for why you're recommending a particular podcast/book/novel/documentary/etc, and which aren't backed up by a historian-level knowledge on the accuracy and stance of the piece, will be removed.
