Thanks for the suggestion, that might be a good way to get a feel for the overall regional histories before I delve into books.

Many of these pages have links to works from their own people regarding history. Really quite fascinating and on the internet too!
No, I haven't tried Facebook, but I'll definitely look into those links!

I have a e-copy of The Bible Unearthed. Let me know if you want it.
That book is already on my amazon wishlist! SCORE! Is your e-copy for, like, a kindle? Do you want me to PM you with my email address or something?
Thanks so much for these suggestions, everyone!
