News on the Geography/History Front

Happy monday morning to you -

Here's a recap of some of the stories of interest from the weekend news. Enjoy:

Humbling to see what History Has Forgotten
globeandmail.com: Time is stealing Robin Hood's famed forest
Military Prowess As Pre-Requisite For Leadership in Ancient Greece.
Mosque Compound Reveals Ancient Treasures
March to Power Spearheaded by Ancient Martyr
Politics Not History is Guiding Present Discussion on Armenian Genocide
Geography teacher helps break world records - Campus News

Special Find: Wow . . . are these games something teachers could capitalize on? The level of detail here is astounding.


A fascinating note - the methodology I use to locate news stories regarding Ancient History and Geography seem to come from about 85% overseas newspapers. Makes you wonder why our papers fail to bring these critical elements into the fold.

Hope you're having a great start to the week,

George
