this is precisely why people travel, because their lives are not interesting.

Hmmm... I didn't think about it that way. You are actually right. I only wish to travel when I get bored or want to escape the daily grind. When daily life is exciting, I don't even think about going somewhere.

I like to learn about the old traditions and way of life. I like reading fiction too. It was just a thought that what we read or are fed in the name of history could be a lie only to make it exciting. Reminds me of Graham Hancock's documentaries on mysterious sites and events in the world. Have you watched Ancient Apocalypse?
