why, did you think i was a dumbass? :finga:
i have also studied (ancient) greek & latin a wee bit. we had to learn some latin for our conversational classes in high school but i have studied it a little bit outside of school too though.
also, i studied ancient egyptian quite a bit with a book that i checked out from the local library. i read (most) of it. it is here:
i actually got to the point that i could read a decent amount of things i saw (not just funerary inscriptions, stellas & whatnot). it was fun and very challenging considering it is pictographic writing system without vowels. i have studied the culture & history for prolly 5 or 6 years now just out of pure fascination.
i should pick that book up on amazon, it is pretty cheap even for the hardcover version...
i've said it before but if anyone needs help translating anything to or from german i'd be willing to help.
