A Brave New Research Topic

So yeah, It's rather difficult to find knowledgeable sources on the tactics and technology of warfare in the ancient world. The internet sources are shady at best. Proquest and Academic Search Elite yielded a few useful results, but most of them required me buying a book the size of Rhode Island and sifting through it for decades. (Only two could be found in the library.)
As a direct result, I am suddenly and dramatically changing my research topic! *cue dramatic music* I know! Don't be so shocked and dismayed! I shall endure! Thank you for your concern ladies and gentlemen, but my new topic should be much easier to work on.
Speaking of which, my new topic is Evolution: the Holes in the Argument. It should be a much more controversial work and much more interesting for me to write about. (Despite how much i like ancient warfare, it's not fun to write about. It's much more entertaining on the silver screen.)
I plan to push just a enough buttons to get a reaction and start a debate that will last until the turn of the millennium! (or Armageddon, whichever comes first.)
I may or may not keep you posted on the development of this paper. It would only lessen the surprise in the end. LOL

Update to Research Topic

I decided not to try and prove that any certain military tactic was superior to another. All strategies had their weaknesses and strengths; and none of them exist in the same forms today. So instead of determining dominance, I have decided to debunk the myth that ancient warfare was primitive and unsophisticated (like throwing rocks and poking with sticks). War was far more advanced in the ancient world than modern people give it credit for. This topic will allow me to expand my focus from the "cradle-of-civilization" area and include the Asian countries.

Randomness-icity

This is noise..in letter form!

I was really bored on New Years, even though i was at a party with my youth group. (Guitar Hero only goes so far.) Around 1030, we got the brilliant idea to just run around campus. So we did; we ended up on the UCA nature trail. We took a little detour and found a dump site with large construction machines, after playing on the machines, we went to the dump section. It was mostly broken chairs and the old stadium lights. However, amongst this pile of junk, a single jewel resided! Behold!! An old traffic sign!! I had to have it. I grabbed it and took it back to my room, where it remains to this day.
