Of historical interest


This is only of interest to people who are interested in the history of the ancient Near East and languages.

The Edinburgh Ras Shamra Project

This site, while dated (web-wise, that is), contains some interesting material on Ras Shamra, the modern site of the ancient city-state of Ugarit. I'm including this only for nostalgia purposes. I spent quite a few years doing research work for a professor whose speciality this was, and I got to thinking nice thoughts about it when I found this site. Historians will like it, though.
