The Last 1023 Years Were Boring Anyway (Pre-1000 History) - Poll

[Restitutor27]

Hi everyone - I have nearly finished a new quiz packet, provocatively called The Last 1023 Years Were Boring Anyway, and should have it ready to read by next week.

This is a 20-tossup packet of pre-1000 AD history, not really time-subdistributed. Difficulty is roughly Nats+ and tossups are around 10 lines long.

Question distribution is the following, which is a bit slanted towards topics I think I know better at this difficulty, but it's the same as last year's packet.
3 Ancient Greece
3 Ancient Rome
3 Near East
3 Non-Classical Europe
2 Asia
2 Africa
2 Americas
2 Misc (haven't written these yet but will try to have a spread of content)

This is broadly like last year's The Last 1022 Years Were Boring Anyway (on the archive at https://collegiate.quizbowlpackets.com/2856/). The style this time may be a bit different to last year, with a few more modern-historian clues scattered through questions, as well as the addition of (attempts at) a few mostly archaeology/historiography focused questions. I've tried to actively avoid boring clues and attempted to pick things that will hopefully be found interesting.

I’d like to read this on the discord at some point next week if people are interested - I’ll put a poll on the forums for dates soon (can read more than once if needed), but please do react to this if you’re interested in playing, and DM me if you definitely don’t want to miss it or want to request a second reading so I can take timings into account.

I've put the time of day as 22:00 UK time/21:00 UTC/17:00 ET by default, but am happy to change if there's enough demand.

Will read on Tuesday 18th July, no change to time. Let me know if you want to play and can't make it

I think I'll be about 30 minutes late but would like to play. Is there a Discord channel for it?
