Works for me - several decades ago, Hollywood produced several good historical films. A little short on historical accuracy, but better than what we'd get today, IMHO.

America demands Justice for the Fallen of Benghazi!

O stranger, tell the Lacedaemonians that we lie here, obedient to their command.

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

I’ve read some of the history and consider it as good if not superior to those movies done of Henry II etc.
Think it could sell in today’s mindless, CGI dominated cesspool called Hoolywood?

Learning history as a series of dates doesn’t really interest most students. We must take a more tongue in cheek assesment of things as they are recalled by those took the course. “1066 And All That: A Memorable History of England, Comprising All the Parts You Can Remember, Including 103 Good Things, 5 Bad Kings, and 2 Genuine Dates” by Walter Carruthers Sellar, Robert Julian Yeatman, John Reynolds(Illustrator)(first published in the 1930s) is just such a tome. I first read this book sometime in 1950-60s and just reread it last month. A truly enjoyable repeat.
