History Pavillon
Ranked #3,541 in Education, #81,563 overall | Donates to ASPCA
The Grand Pavilion
You have just entered one of Squidoo's largest history pavilions. As you stroll through its corridors, you shall find many rooms to quench your thirst for knowledge of the past. This is a 3 storey building and an elevator will take you from floor to floor. In the back of the building, you will find our outdoor amphitheater where you can watch and listen to important historic events.
Oh, and there is even a radio room on the third floor. Check the files we have and request a copy.
Funny thing though - there are no ghosts here (unlike the Squidoo Unofficial Book Club) - that doesn't really make any sense does it? If any place has ghosts, it should be here. But who knows what the future might bring; we only know what has happened in the past. Even then, we don't know everything.
Please Note: This lens was started on January 15, 2012. As the future gets further and further from the past, more links, more bells and whistles will be added to this lens. Remember, Rome wasn't built in a day!
As of January 26, 2012, we have more than 60 amazing links for you as well as 8 videos playing in our outdoor theater and 5 podcast links in the radio room.
Why not bookmark this lens for future consideration?

- Dearest Zut Moon,
You can delete this post . . your polls are not loading (for me, at least). I am certain, though, that this is a great lens.
Take good care,
Rose

- I have a lens on One Hundred Years Ago which has some interesting historical articles from the more recent past. Not sure if my lens on Zecharia Sitchin counts under History, it's about mankind's most early days and origins, so REALLY ancient civilizations.
