History is truly fascinating
History has always been one of my favorite subjects since my school days. As I do love watching documentaries, whenever I can, I watch historical documentaries on YouTube, as well as read about things related to history on the Internet. Speaking of which, yesterday I saw a documentary about the Chinese Impire, the only impire that existed for 4 millennia. Even though chinese impire is outstanding because of its great made, like The Great Wall of China and The Forbidden City, such constructions were built under the cost of many people's lives.
One of the fascinating things about history in my opinion are The Ancient Civilizations, such as Egyptians, Greeks, Romans, Persians and so one. Many of them contributed a lot with their rich cultures to our occidental culture. Hence, I think people should make time to get to know deeply the roots of our culture. Have you ever thought about what the world would be like if the Greeks had lost the Battle of Salamis for the Persians?! Obviously, the world would be quite different than the one we know now.

(Sounds more natural.)

We use the word 'construction' more for the process of building, and the word 'building' for something that's finished:
The construction of the museum will take 5 years and cost $50 million.
The building was constructed over 500 years ago.
You can think deeply about something, but with know (and learn), it's more common just to use more (about).
You wrote very well, congratulations!

That's true, if they had found that book before the 1600s, the industrial revolution would have started much earlier, so I think we would be probably more industrialized. It really blows our minds to think of such things, doesn't it? I've read a little bit about the British Raj, it's interesting indeed. The mix of British and Indian cultures catches many people's eye!

The history really has its' own enchantment.What a coincidence.Actually I'm quite interested in the history of British Raj in recent days.The mixture of British and Indian culture attracted me deeply.I think I'll learn more about this period in the holidays.

Persians and not Greeks? It boggles the mind. Yes, it certainly would be different. Here is another 'what if...?' What if a book discovered (in the last 30 years or so), purportedly written by Archimedes, had been found before the 1600s? In it are the clear origins of differential and integral calculus. So, calculus 1800 years earlier? Or, the industrial revolution 1800 years earlier?
