If you built a temple, would you inscribe in massive letters somewhere inside it that you had NO OUTSIDE INFLUENCE in making it, or, alternatively, clearly state all your influences and how you came up with your ideas, so there would be no ambiguity and therefore no reason for poor, long-suffering students 2000+ years in the future to write about what could explain your architectural style when all they really wanted to do was drop art and archaeology as a subject module? BECAUSE YOU SHOULD.
At least mine is nearly over! I only have a couple more points and then a travesty of a conclusion to go. And then maybe tonight I will get more than two and a half hours sleep!
This particular delight is part of the Art and Archaeology part to paper something-or-other, but I AM NOT TAKING IT, so it is fine. I just have to do this essay b/c we get to try out all the different topics in our first term to see which ones we like - and, okay, I like some parts of art and arch, but not enough to pick it over, say, Ancient History or Linguistics.
