About this Blog

Early peoples often created Myths, when they could not explain how or why things happened. Some historians & archaeologists try to track these myths as time passes & myths evolve.

Traditional historians rely on man's written & drawn records to interpret past progress & myths. The artifacts & science of archaeologists form the basis of our knowledge of civilizations before written & drawn records, most of which seem to be in Africa, Europe, & Asia. We don't know much about ancient cultures here in North America, but we need to.

Liberty Hyde Bailey (1858-1954) wrote "Science may eventually explain the world of How. The ultimate world of Why may remain for contemplation, philosophy, religion."

Searching for WHY mankind's society changes & what those living before us declare in their own words and in their design & images of themselves & of the world around them. Posting on the worldwide internet makes history less intimidating, easily accessible, & freely available for everyone.

Like most historians, my blogs & research are dominated by primary sources, 1st-hand written evidence of history often made at the time of the event by someone who was present. Physical objects, such as art, also can be primary sources.

As a historian, I must rely on archaeologists, using a variety of scientific disciplines & tools, to find & help explain earlier evidence beyond that obvious on the surface & before the devlopment of languages that we know today. Science is not truth. It is a process in the pursuit of truth.

Focusing mostly on the history & art of gardens & women, I put together several blogs, different in the particulars but similar in the essentials. They are listed in the blogroll below.

Honored to have you here -Welcome!
