Yeah I seen that show on the history channel, though I was hoping they'd go into other people such as the early Saxons, Lombards and Gepids and didn't focus on the Byzantines so much. I really don't concider the Byzantines to be part of the dark ages because they lived so high above the standards for what we concider to be the dark ages. though I did learn a lot about Justinian. I do like Egypt, but I'm not really all that into it. My favorite periods of history are; The Macidonian conquest, All of the roman empire, from early city state to universal empire, to the fall; The time right before the renaissance, and the history of the Western US. I also like seeing how I can connect historical figures to other historical figures, places ect. I've never seen Rome, I don't have HBO unfortinatly.
