History is kind of the opposite. When someone says they like history I'll get excited and ask what period is their favorite. If they say "Romans" without any qualifiers like Early Republic or Late Eastern Empire, I get a bad feeling and they usually follow up with "and WWII"

What about ancient Egypt without qualifying Old Kingdom, Middle Kingdom or New Kingdom? (I just think they're all neat.)

Idk. You're not trying to establish a divine monarchy characterized by inbreeding and a shadow government of priests, are you?

Well, no... I'm more trying to use those methods to destroy extant governments... is that not okay?
