I'm not a huge stickler for historical accuracy (at all -- I just watched ALL of Britannia) but a change would be nice. We were in the Neues Museum this morning because we're visiting Berlin and A turned to me and pointed out that the next big thing should really be a drama about the Amarna Period. And he's right: it has all the intrigue, beautifful people, dramatic reversals, you could squeeze in some battles and there is a reasonable argument for canonical incest. I don't know why no one has thought of it before this!
