These things are all new to me. I live in an area that wasn't colonized until 1853. There's no European history at all that's any older than a century or so and it's a four-hour round-trip drive to see the occasional traveling museum show in a bigger city. My introduction to history is very recent, courtesy of the Internet.
That might be part of the appeal of the VMS. Reading a history book is boring compared to trying to solve a centuries-old mystery.
