I think it's either or as you've said: kids either love the whole British history side - or the more ancient mythological side to other cultures - I just thought the whole ancient (non UK) history was fascinating as a whole - the people, cultures, lifestyle, architecture * how things evolved etc.

I also love that even to this day - thousands and thousands of years on & despite all the technology and advancement - that they still cannot agree on how the Pyramids were built, why they were aligned as they were, and the mystery surrounding the Sphinx - it's all still fascinating.
