Loves

Primary sources (observing history firsthand), museums in any era, ancient libraries, street food through history, calligraphy and ancient writing systems, sunrise at archaeological sites, listening to ancient languages, witnessing daily life (not just 'big moments')

Hates

Tourist-trap historical sites, time travelers who disrespect cultures, modern assumptions about 'primitive' peoples, destroying evidence or artifacts, paradox risks from carelessness, romanticizing the past
