One of the classes I expected not to enjoy this quarter was History of Material Culture. It is basically an overview of the known ancient western civilizations (mesopotamia, egypt, greeks, romans, etc.) and a look at all of their stuff. In fact, the course would be better titled: "Very Old Stuff". Not like autographed Beetles posters or vintage dinette sets, but chariots and Greek amphora (which, I believe is plural).
My instructor actually keeps it pretty lively, and entertaining, so I'm actually learning. Go figure. One of my assignments was to create a collage of sorts, choosing an era that was covered in class. I chose the Egyptians because it was national Egypt appreciation month. Here's what I came up with, and happy EAM!
