*Sigh* You're right of course, then try looking at it this way: in terms of historical significance which of these interests you the most? Not necessarily which is most appealing (though I suppose that's what IK intended), but if you were to be locked ina room with a book on history from one of these periods, which would you read? Oh, and you have to read one: sleeping isn't an option.

Edit, AGAIN: Well it sems Ik has rendered this post irrelevant, as looking at it from a historical perspective was my take but not necessarily what was required. I'm going back to the stronghold now...
