RULE FOR POSTING NEW TOPICS:
Everytime you post a topic, please indicate the subject of the thread in the subject line. A vague title like, "Look at this!!" or "Wow, this is neat" or anything else of that nature may discourage members from posting in your thread; it, also, slows me down when I'm categorizing popular or useful links.

-----------------------------------


Take a look at this timeline to obtain a good historical perspective on some of the kingdoms and empires that are listed below.

The listsare not comprehensive.

I will probably add more links when I find them.
