AHHH the ancient world...so full of craziness. Why, for example, consider these wee tidbits of ancient kookiness:
The Roman Emperor CALIGULA, known for his excess in almost every way, wanted to make his horse a senator, according to ancient sources.
The ancient Aztecs traded cacao (cocoa) beans as money.
Ancient Egyptians took up to 70 days to make a mummy.
Australian Aborigines--the world's oldest living culture--have existed for at least 50,000 years!
The ancient Maya chewed gum made from tree sap.
Earth is the only planet not named after a Greek or Roman god.
Now you love history don't you?
