I haven't read Wells.  I probably should but I already agree with him so it would amount to "bouncing the rubble."  Still.  I should.

Not really.  Not my primary area of interest.  Archaeology has uncovered many artifacts indicating they were surprisingly advanced.

There are lots of implausibles in history; like why didn't the Confederates march on Washington after First Bull Run.  But when you look a little more closely you find that they were almost as fucked up by winning as the union was by losing.  They weren't marching anywhere.





You mean like George Washington having mistresses?  I suspect that all powerful men had the vices which powerful men repeatedly show throughout history.  What makes it gossip?
 

I didn't know that George Washington had mistresses but it doesn't surprise me either. 

By gossip, I mean all the interesting tidbits that teachers leave out of their lessons or the little facts that make historical figures appear more human

Let's face it.  The nights were cold and there were no video games.
