Progress Report
This project had its origins in the mid-1990s, when in 1993 I was invited to give a series of lectures on World History, and I realised that there was a new story to be told. In the mid-1990s I prepared a lecture which I gave several times, Around 2000 I wrote the synopsis, and following a trip to Egypt I wrote an Egyptian section (which does not quite fit) and also a section on Greece. I began writing this site seriously at the end of 2005 and the beginning of 2006. At the end of 2005 and the beginning of 2006, I re-wrote all the 'philosophy' section. In April 2006 I wrote the Trobriand Islands, and Sparta, and then I added a short piece on the French Revolution, to put down a marker as it were, for covering later history. June/July 2006, new Section on Roman Britain. December 2006, re-wrote the index page End December 2006, wrote new section on the Origins of Rome
