Mr. Donn's Ancient History Page Units, lesson plans, activities, and resources. Some of the interpretations with respect to the origins of current holidays, for example, are inaccurate. (For example, the statement that corn --- more, specifically, maize --- was unknown at the time of the Pilgrims. This is a myth. Europe had been planting and growing maize 500 years before the Pilgrims came to the, now, USA.). Also the use of the terms B.C.E. and C.E. versus A.D. & B.C. is a tell tale clue with respect to Mr. Don's worldview presuppositions. However, the site is great for organizing content when studying ancient civilizations and the historical errors are easily corrected.
The Foundation for Biblical Archaeology Biblical Archaeology may best be described as the scientific recovery and investigation of the material remains of past cultures that can illuminate the historical Biblical period.
