<p>[QUOTE=&quot;DonnaML, post: 4531878, member: 110350&quot;]Don&#039;t worry, there are still plenty of humanities and social sciences majors; history can be classified as one or the other depending on the university.&nbsp; (&quot;Liberal Arts&quot; is broader than both, and includes mathematics.)</p><p><br /></p><p>My interest in Ancient Greece and Rome, as well as Ancient Egypt and the Near East, grew from very frequent trips to the Metropolitan Museum of Art as a child back in the 1960s, usually with my grandmother, who lived a few blocks from there.&nbsp; (When I go there now, I still see lots of children showing great interest.) And, as I recall, a significant portion of &quot;social sciences&quot; in 6th grade consisted of learning about Ancient Egypt.&nbsp; Outside of school, a picture book from the 1920s called &quot;A Child&#039;s Book of Myths&quot; was one of my favorite books as a small child, and in about 3rd or 4th grade, I read the Modern Library edition of <i>Bulfinch&#039;s Mythology</i> in its entirety.&nbsp; (I turned up my nose at classmates reading Edith Hamilton&#039;s compilation, because I considered it a mere children&#039;s book!)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
