01. Cradle of Civilization
By Robin on Jan 02, 2009 in 02. Mesopotamia
A pretty good video but half way a man is interviewed
speaks in French and someone left out the subtitles.
The first half is worth watching.

I’m trying to keep from laughing as the gentleman speaks in French for an extended period of time without any translation. I like the video, but I think my kids will be laughing so loudly over the French that they will miss the second half of the video when it switches back to English. Good resource, though, will be using it – thanks Robin! : – )
