A fascinating window on international trade in the eastern Mediterranean during the late Bronze Age! Quite surprising, that commerce!

This is fascinating stuff. I spend much of my lunchtime surfing this kind of history on Wikipedia.

Wikipedia is an excellent source for that. Ancient history simpy isn't controversial. Only once have I come across an obvious distortion of the historical record and that was in an a article on same sex marriage.
