ANCIENT HISTORY

(May 2008)

  1. If He Who Saw Everything is difficult to find or too expensive, consider reading The Epic of Gilgamesh by Sandars.  May purchase at www.christianbook.com

  2. Elaine Landau’s name is misspelled on the annotated pages for The Sumerians, The Babylonians, and the Assyrians books.

  3. Consider reading more scripture on Solomon if you have trouble finding Solomon:  A Man of Wisdom (“Bible Stories, An Awesome Adventure” book series from Masterbooks).  Another option would be to read over a two-week period (Weeks 11 and 12) the advanced 5+ reader Remarkable Wisdom of Solomon by Henry Morris.

  4. A Triumph for Flavius, Caroline Dale Snedeker.  May purchase also at www.greenleafpress.com  or www.home4schoolgear.com . Try using Julius Caesar by Robert Green if it is difficult to find or too expensive.
