Talk:Essay:Greatest Mysteries of World History (view source)
Revision as of 23:15, March 8, 2009
, 23:15, March 8, 2009→Literacy in Ancient Greece
I don't know what the literacy level is in the USA but let's guess at 98-99%. In ancient Greece, the people who were able to read were free, male city dwellers - and by no means all of them. Perhaps 1% of the population could read. Not sure why this one is on the list of mysteries, because it isn't one. [[User:FredFerguson|FredFerguson]] 19:11, 8 March 2009 (EDT)

:These are really only mysteries to Andy. He just wants people who don't know the answers to think about it. Anyone who wants to open their mind up can do the research and figure it out. I hope Andy has. [[User:SallyT|SallyT]] 19:15, 8 March 2009 (EDT)
