Hello - New here

Primulaauricula

Hello (I've said that twice now), my name is Daniel. This is my first time on a forum, apart from occasionally reading discussions without creating an account. I thought I'd start so I could meet others who share my interests, since I've never really met anyone who has in person. I remember distincly that no one in my class liked dinosaurs apart from me when I was at primary - absurd!

Anyway, as it says in my description, I'm very into history, with more of an inclination to the cultural side of it (art, music, fashion literature of the time). Ocassionally I will dismiss that, as I have with my obsession with polar exploration (mainly the 19th-20th century expeditions). Pemmican and driving sleds aren't exactly the finer things in life, but there's beauty in places. I'll stop rambling now, I'm excited about being on here  :-)

  • Hello  and welcome to the community.

    Your name is interesting and it makes me wonder if you are also interested in botany or Alpine culture.

    I like history but I’m more interested in archaeology, specifically material culture of the Levant. I enjoy discussing art but my knowledge of historical music and fashion literature is limited. I can see why fashion literature is important to the historical record so I would be interested to learn more about it. 

    Hope you enjoy being here.

    Thanks, I am interested in botany - auriculas are my favourite flowers, I love how neat their petals are. 

    Archaeology is an intrest of mine too, though I don't know much about Levatine archaeology. I meant to add a comma in between the words "fashion" and "literature", but it's true that literature on fashion is important. So many things that aren't written down because they are not seen as "important" at the time get lost to history (eg. the Roman dodecahedron), including how certain clothes are made or what they look like. I also like how intricate clothing was during certain periods, with the layers and different clothes for the time of day it was. I think I would choose 19th century fashion as my favourite.
