    Thank you very much for this quick definition of the movement of history, and the door is always open for more new discoveries and excavations that can give more information.
    The links are excellent, especially:

    Hello, I am a specialist in law, but I love history so much, especially the classical Greece and Roman history. My country, Libya, is a huge theatre of Roman history, huge structures, arches, buildings, memorial, monuments, shrines, and even Roman walls.
    I look forward to get more knowledge and learning from the professors as well as from the colleagues...

  • Thank you very much, Professor Ian, and all your colleagues for this unique course. I think it will be an interesting and enjoyable Journey for all of us.
    Very excited about this wonderful course, I was waiting for it.
    I studied in the UK for a year, but I missed visiting the wall and spending a few days in the neighbourhood, because of my studies.
    The...

  • @HelenKing
    Thank you very much, Professor.
    The course was very interesting and amazing, I enjoyed it very much, and gave me a lot of knowledge.

  • There was a quiz last week, maybe you missed it accidentally.

  • Talal Bariun made a comment

    Thank you very much, this course was very impressive and rich in information, strangeness, suspense, surprises and knowledge that I learned from you and all your colleagues.
    In fact, I was expecting to find on this course some information about Silphium, which was mysteriously used in the ancient Greek world.
    Some say it has gone extinct, but some say it...

  • @HelenKing
    Thank you very much, Professor, this course was very impressive and rich in information, strangeness, suspense, surprises and knowledge that I learned from you and all your colleagues.

  • This course was interesting and rich in information, rich and intense.
    Many of the articles and videos in this course need to be reviewed, listened to and viewed perhaps more than once.
    The time difference is from 2500 to 2000 years, and this is not a little. The door should always be open to new knowledge and discoveries. The progress of archaeological and...

    A very amazing video, it talks about the second Augustan legion.
    Remains of the castles of the Third Augustan Legion can be seen in North Africa, to protect the frontiers or southern borders of the Roman Empire. The service in it ranged from twenty five to thirty years. A long period of service in the army in desert conditions.

  • Frisco shows that the doctor does all the work, the role of Venus partial or secondary.
    According to my understanding of the poetry section, it is the care of the deities that inspired the doctor to know the healing balm of the aromatic plant.

  • We have always seen in films, as well as we read, inspiring chapters and scenes of heroic deeds in World Wars I and II, were epics in saving soldiers for each other, covering and supporting each other, features were somewhat close to army wars in the ancient world.
    The story of the North African war or the so-called desert war during the Second World War, I...

  • @TimThompson
    Thank you very much, Professor.
    The course was very impressive and highly valued. We had very pleasant days. Sad because it ended quickly.
    I hope to meet you again in other distinguished courses.

  • Certainly, the manifestations of the physical expression of the body that is considered ideal or exemplary, are still influencing, and we find it alive with us until now, great artists from the Renaissance like Michelangelo, they renewed the power and aggression of classical Greek and Roman statues, which continued to inspire the march of human civilisation...

  • In my country in the past, same expectation. Libya, North Africa.

  • In my country, according to what my wife told me now, the grandmothers believed that if the belly was swollen forward, the baby would be a boy, if the bulges were lateral, the baby would be a girl.

  • @HelenKing
    Amazing, for me it's all new information.

  • Amazing article, completely rich information for me.

  • This was pretty cool, mythology is a vast world of emotional imagination.

  • This is strange, but very interesting.
    The ancient world is full of strange ideas, even in its medical treatises. But they are worthy of thought.

  • This is accurate system in every sense of the word. And highly effective.

  • In Sabratha and in Leptis Magna, Libya, North Africa, the Roman public baths are still clearly visible, in Sabratah from the second century AD, and in Leptis Magna Hadrian Baths where construction began in 123 AD and opened in 137 AD. It occupies an area of three hectares, and it contains highly organised public toilets, with gender segregation.
    These public...

  • It is surprising to me to know that the word written on the jar in the picture "THYRIACA" is the same word heard in Arabic "TYRIAQ". And it has the same meaning literally.

  • Silphium, one of the mysteries of the ancient Greek world in Cyrene. North Africa. It is printed on the currency coin, and there is a clinic for medication with it. Fourth and third centuries BC.
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silphium

  • I can think of a very big list.
    In our local culture (in my country), food with old recipes is widely used:
    Apple cider vinegar, ginger, parsley, mint, garlic, cinnamon, caraway, fenugreek, bitter natural frankincense, black bean, honey, olive oil, cloves .....
    As well as many mountain and desert wild herbs.

  • The use of this particular name may be commercial, this means hygiene and sterilisation. Using this name has great intelligence.

  • But what did Hippocrates mean when he said:
    "For orthopnea their juice ......."
    What is the concept of juice here?
    Apples may have a different concepts from what we know today.

  • It was amazing, I watched and listened to the video only three times, so far.
    The analysis and study of orthopaedics and pathology can provide amazing facts. Archaeological and anthropological forensics is making great strides in this field. And in the field of DNA in particular.
    Bones provide a slow response to viruses, bacteria, and infectious diseases,...

  • @DerekCarter
    :) :)
    Wonderful second one, just for a start.
    But why toothache in particular?

  • Thank you very much, that was excellent.

  • Talal Bariun made a comment

    Regarding what the Romans were eating, Cato gave us some important treatises on the uses of olive and olive oil.
    As the previous week, I very much enjoyed this week.
    The week 2 assessment passed safely, one mistake. Some questions were indirect.
    The links in this article are very excellent.
    Thank you so much for these two great weeks. I look forward to the...

    This is especially interesting.

  • Thank you for this beautiful writing and excellent expression.

  • Talal Bariun made a comment

    Wow, this course was especially amazing. Much love for this course.
    There is no point I liked the most, everything was amazing.
    A special greeting to you, you are a wonderful great team. You loved your work.
    I liked this course, difficult to describe who much I loved the course.
    I learned a lot from you, thank you very much.

  • In fact, my choice was the second answer, because there are not many options. Although I think the first and second answer are both together.

  • I agree with you, Prof. Nicky, that this research will continue for a time.
    Ritual worship is an important consideration.
    Some human groups or some ancient peoples believe that their first grandfather was a specific animal. I think the parallel ethnographic context is important here.
    Some Indian tribes in North America think that their grandfather was a...

  • Perhaps by attaching strings of organic, vegetable or animal fibres, perhaps leather belts or strings for fastening to the head.

  • Wild Horse.

  • Very excited. I feel sorry it is the last week.

  • Everything was amazing.
    This course has a special enjoyment, imagine trying to set fire, fungi and tar making from birch bark and old houses.
    Certainly, in particular, the bow and the digging stick.

  • @MaryParker
    Of course, this is what we learned in this course specifically.
    Sandstone is strong and suitable for many uses, heating water, heating, cooking meat, scraping and sharpening wooden arrows.

  • This was very excellent.

  • @MaryParker
    Wonderful one just for a start.
    I advise you to use sandstone, to heat and boil water, and heating as well.

  • Can’t wait.

  • Talal Bariun made a comment

    Everything was amazing over the past two weeks.
    A work that deserves to be congratulated and admired, well done.
    Pendant is a astonishing.
    With enthusiasm, I look forward to the next two weeks.

  • This is amazing work, very interesting.

  • In fact, the reason I chose the answer is hung around the neck, that a whole necklace of amber was buried in the tomb of a teenage from the Bronze Age, at the University of Reading excavation sites of Wilsford henge, The Vale of Pewsey.
    "The discovery of the remains of a teenage boy from deep within the Wilsford henge ditch was undoubtedly the most celebrated...

  • Your work is very wonderful, showing great love for this work and specialisation.
    When will you allow us to volunteer with you ?

  • The participation in this was very nice, I love it.
    An excellent way to teach, I hope there will be more and more of this method in the coming weeks.

  • @TinaJakob
    Thank you very much, Prof. Jakob,
    I am a specialist in law - humanities - I didn't imagine that I would pass this test highly, this indicates your experience as a team in education and to facilitate and simplify the information.
    Very grateful to all of you, and I hope to meet you on another course.

  • Talal Bariun made a comment

    This was very interesting and interesting. Like an amazing story.
    I look forward enthusiastically for the next week.

  • Who said that our contemporary life is comfortable?

  • Wow, amazing YouTube, breathtaking.
    Life was the most wonderful, pure oxygen.
    There are no pollutants or belongings. I think their lives were better than ours. I think.

  • Asking this question is quiet early.
    All discoveries and excavations are very important, we have to get to the end of the course first.

  • Thank you very much all.
    You are very fortunate and patient, you had to wait from 1995 to 2004, which is the beginning of your work in excavations that extended until 2015.
    I wish you every success.

  • More than half a century has passed.
    Possibly rain and other climatic causes, renewing mud, water and sediment.
    And may be found by another person.

  • This makes this place more interesting, and it needs to be constantly explored and studied.
    As long as it is scattered like this, new information and analysis will continue to emerge.

  • Talal Bariun made a comment

    This course was very powerful, rich and filled with valuable information. It is focused, and easily presented science. This indicates a long experience in education. This was very enjoyable.
    I am very happy with this course, I have learned a lot.
    All thanks, appreciation, respect and gratitude to the teachers, Prof. Rebecca Gowland, Prof. Tim Thompson and...

  • Very interesting and creative course, I was able to know a lot of amazing information.
    You have provided us with the latest knowledge and long experiences. Thank you very much.

  • This is a long and very complicated topic.
    The Great Desert was used as a long passage to the sea, across the wide Libyan lands.
    ICRC The International Committee of the Red Cross and Red Crescent is constantly working to preserve the bodies of the shipwrecked at sea, brought by the waves, and returned to the Libyan and Tunisian coasts.

  • This is humanitarian work to the highest degree.
    It is the human response to human-caused disasters.

  • Best wishes for all the success.
    Thank you very much for sharing.

  • "It is important to note that the skeleton does not ‘turn to ash’ upon burning. Even within modern crematoria, which burn efficiently and at high temperatures, the skeleton will survive."
    This is very amazing, and very interesting.
    It calls for deep contemplation, existential thoughts and reflections.
    Very amazing.

  • @StephPiper
    Thank you so much, very excited.

  • This was brilliant, clear and facilitated. Thank you so much.

  • Talal Bariun made a comment

    A very interesting and sad story at the same time. DNA analysis is more complex than I expected. But it is golden and very important.
    The external links are excellent.

  • @TimThompson
    Thank you very much, Prof. Thompson.
    That test still waiting at the end, frighten.

  • This makes me stand a little, that the specialists in forensic, archaeological forensic and anthropological do a great effort and enormous services in revealing the truth. High respect to them.
    Last week and this week, it was very accurate and enjoyable.
    This week, just like the previous weeks, was very amazing, thank you very much.
    I never thought I could...

  • The trauma at the top of the image is precisely rounded and closely edged, apparently ante-mortem trauma, perhaps due to a treatment to relieve stress on the brain. The similarity in color between the edges of the hole and the rest of the surrounding area may suggest this. Certainly it is not a knife or a projectile.
    But the trauma at the bottom of the...

  • Without John Moore's discoveries and excavations, our understanding would have been much weaker.

  • Hi, I am Talal from Libya.
    I specialist in law, but I worked a lot in antiquities and excavations, as a volunteer deputy or assistant head of the American archaeological mission that was working in Libya.
    I really love history and archaeology.
    Yes, I read about Mesolithic - Middle Stone Age, I previously visited some sites in the south of the Libyan desert...

  • @EllaQ Deal. Thank you very much.

  • Very wonderful and interesting.

  • Great video. The link is amazing.

  • @EllaQ Greetings and great thanks to you.

  • @EllaQ
    You are very welcome, Ella, you and all your family. Glad to be your main guide.
    With all due respect for the rules of conduct and learning of FutureLearn, I never try to publicise anything, with what I will say now:
    Not only Tripoli, all of Libya is an open museum of natural history, rock art of prehistoric man and the huge architectural...

  • @EllaQ
    Thank you so much.
    You have been very active and wonderful, always I find you before me, interesting posts and helpful comments.
    I learned a lot from you, and I am glad that I shared with you this course.

  • Talal Bariun made a comment

    Thank you all very much, it was a wonderful course in every sense of the word.
    Thanks a lot to the Professors, teachers, and colleagues involved in this unique course.
    You provided us with sources of research and knowledge that I had not expected, it will definitely change and correct my tracks and research sources, and I'm so happy with it.

  • Very excellent article, I enjoyed reading it a lot.
    Very important advice, at the heart of the goal. Valuable advice.
    Good luck everyone.

  • An amazing resource, unlimited.
    Provides unlimited knowledge. Very important and definitely useful tools.

  • I really like this article. Including the article's external links, is excellent.
    The manuscript on buffalo horn is stunning.
    It provides many facts. Stolen, looted and abandoned the heritage of other peoples, civilisations, and nations, have many examples.
    I think it should return to its original places and contexts. No one is a guardian of anyone.

  • A very interesting article. This course is so realistic.
    As required for discussion, from my own experience:
    History is painful and has no mercy.
    A Danish journalist visited Tripoli, Libya, between 1929 and 1931, he said in one of his articles:
    Tripoli is a modern and luxurious city, the fascists have spent generously on it, brought the finest alabaster...

  • A major problem that caused lack or shake of confidence. It will take a long time to cure it.
    There are many crimes against Africa, far from being counted.

  • The external links to this article and video are really amazing.
    Thanks so much for sharing.

  • ‘Xenophon of Athens’ was part of the curriculum that I previously studied for philosophy. It was in 1987 - 1988. For the high school degree.
    I have always been fond of his ideas.

  • @HelenKing I rest assured and tend to consider him a source of health.
    His experiences during his life suggest this.

  • How wonderful that was, I really liked it:
    "Socrates: ‘In many cases. For instance, a disastrous campaign or a fatal voyage: the able-bodied who go are lost, the weaklings who stay behind are saved.’ (Memorabilia, 4.2.31-32)."

  • @NickyMilner
    Thank you very much, Professor. Milner.

  • @PatriciaPenserot You're welcome, my knowledge is very shallow in this field.
    It is just a brainstorm, and I look forward with enthusiasm to learn from the teachers and students in this unique course.

  • @PatriciaPenserot
    Not only this.
    Physical health is living by itself, and most aspects of life require physical exertion, as do life conditions.
    For example, plowing, farming, hunting, and working in the army under expansionist empires.
    Point of view.

  • Great video, terrifying at the same time.
    Policymakers, economic power and wars, will never learn.

  • My research related to commercial convoys across the Sahara Desert.
    Certainly, the research tools we have learned so far in this course will present important steps for research in this field. A research topic needs patience and time.
    Thank you very much for presenting all of these primary and secondary tools, means and important in the research.

  • Archiving is really amazing.
    I tried it when I volunteered to work in the scout archive in my country, for 7 years, the archive can provide amazing facts and unexpected knowledge.

  • Wonderful and very important tools for research. Thank you very much.

  • I am very happy to join this course.
    I look forward to learning from all of you.
    Thank you so much for the opportunity to launch this course.

  • I am very happy to join this course.
    I look forward to learning from all of you.
    Thank you so much for the opportunity to launch this course.
    Maybe health in the ancient world meant physical strength.
    Perhaps health for us now means physical and mental health, the safety of the surrounding environment, social health, etc.
