We must be on the same wavelength as we're in the middle of writing a very similar thing comparing Mexico, Thailand, and Eastern Europe to each other. Great minds!

I find that you and we do think a lot alike, and I think that we actually learn from each other and share similar concepts but different viewpoints! I'm good with that.

If you are seeking true ancient history, circa 10,000 B.C., then I highly recommend Egypt. I visited two years ago with a very well informed tour guide and it was enlightening. Much of Greek history was modeled on ancient Egyptian history. The history pre-Arab, pre-Greek invasions, think in the time of the pyramids and Pharaohs.

You are 100% right. We did enjoy Egypt, and that history is irreplaceable. We stayed at a hotel directly across the street from the Great pyramid, and visited two of the major museums in Cairo. Definitely everyone who appreciates history should check it out
