Rae's got a topic!!!
I have been stressing over my topic for my world history research paper. I was told it has to pre-date the 15oo's and the paper should be between 8 and 16 pages (Until I have covered my topic). But I couldn't figure out what topic I wanted.
i thought about the female pharaohs for a bit....then shifted to the Celts..... I even talked to my professor about studying the epic of Gilgamesh or possibly the writings of the Celts.
After heming and hawing over it I decided that want I really want to study is ancient libraries. I mean really...who is shocked about that.
So now I just have to narrow down my topic. Which libraries....the first library in Sumer in 2000 B.C.? Maybe I could see what records were kept in Europe or the British Ilses? Ohh.....maybe during the Crusades...I'd love to do a bit of studya nd see what was destroyed then....hmmmmm....
So many chances....

that sounds like a really fun topic to study! Enjoy!
Sounds like fun! Good luck!
One option to think about for ancient libraries: Library of Alexandria or Library of Cairo from ancient Egypt. I don't remember which one it was, but it was the world's largest library at the time, pre-dates 1500, and there is a Discovery or History Channel episode about it.
