About

Old stuff is exciting! Journeying into the ancient past we find worlds that are both startlingly different from and similar to our own. Such journeys help us know where we've come from and give us insights to make better choices about where we are going. While rewarding, trips to the ancient past are not always easy: they require some intellectual effort and a lot of detective work. The Ancient Bookshelf offers resources and reflections on the ancient world (and some other interesting things), with the hopes that it will both pique your curiosity and help you on your own journeys of exploration.
