Reply #29: Introducing myself

[LibertyLover]

I was browsing the DU groups and realized that this forum would be interesting for me. I have a BA in Ancient Near Eastern History and Culture from the University of Chicago, a MA in Art History and Museum Training from City College of the City University of New York and another Masters in Military History and Modern East Asian History from George Washington University.

My husband and I are historic re-enactors, members of a group called The Longship Company, which does Viking, as well as members of the Society for Creative Anachronism. So I have some facility with medieval history.

I have been interested in ancient Egypt since I was a child - my mom was a history teacher at the high school level and was into history as well, so I come by my fascination naturally - LOL.
