Welcome to Antiquated Ideas - the section of AtropaBelladonna Bibliotheca that explores world history from many eras worldwide. Whether you're a return visitor from the old incarnation or a new visitor, we welcome you and hope you'll find something of interest in these pages.

For our returning companions, AI may look a bit different now, slimmed down even, but it's still the same core. You'll still find articles covering a myriad of cultures and discussion forums to pursue your interest in the ancient and not-so-ancient worlds. Within these pages you will eventually find most all the posts archived from the old boards and archived material from the old Reference AI - not to mention some new stuff.

Given that AI is now part of a larger network of sites that combined comprise AtropaBelladonna Bibliotheca and each section requires a certain amount of work, we will be staggering how each section comes online. What that means for the moment is that this page is the only section of the new AI online, but keep watch - over the next month to month and a half you'll start seeing all the good stuff reappear. In the meantime, if you have any questions, please feel free to contact .
