The Ancient History group is currently studying the history of Ancient Mesopotamia. We are currently about 1250 BC, the time of the Great Empires, Egypt, Hittites and Babylonia who corresponded on clay tablets in Akkadian the diplomatic language of the time and their many letters were found in the archive of the Egyptian king in Tel-Amarna.
Next era will be the peoples of the sea who managed the destruction of many cities and the Empire of the Hittites and then the growth of the Assyrians and their overwhelming power.
We meet fortnightly on Thursday mornings at my house near Tooting Bec
