I'm not able to watch TV programs about history very often now. When I was younger, I did watch them a bit, but my studies in computer science and my scholarship take up a lot of my time. I usually watch them about once a week, but I enjoy watching them when I can. I'd like to learn more about the history of ancient civilizations, as I find their cultures and advancements fascinating.
