Great site, eta. I could have spent all day. I like the idea of a "temporal" approach to history -- teaching everything that happened at a certain time, rather than presenting the entire history of a society, then going back to the "beginning" to teach another society.
Look up 4000 years ago, India, and the interesting (though IMO not feasible) claim that the Indus Valley Civilisation is the "mother culture of all the Indo-Europeans".
This is an idea I have seen before, and is mooted by a number of Indian and Pakistani historians, but I'm sorry, I don't yet buy it. The dates alone seem wrong, as well as the technology: it's all very well for them to have had iron at the time, but what about horses and chariots?
Interesting idea, though.

All a bit light and frothy, though. How much is "enough" and how much is "too much"? Matter of opinion, I guess.
I think I like it because it is an easy read. It's like a spring-board...when something hits my fancy, I can do a more indept study on that specific subject. If it went into too much detail, then I'm not sure I'd wade through everything until I found a nugget of info that'd pique my curiosity.
... and it seems to think that the 1960's fall into the "25 years ago in North America" category.
Yes, it's a bit too late for PIE, and some other non-Hindi-speaking Indians suggest that Dravidian was spoken by the Indus Valley culture.
