    For other uses of the word ''ancient'', see Ancient (disambiguation).''Ancient is a NorwayNorwegian band that, while not really troll metal, had troll metal themes on their 1994 EP 'Trolltaar'. The band started as a solo project of guitarist ''Aphazel'' in 1992, subsequently adding drummer ''Grimm''. Time went; they released their debut album, shortly after which ''Grimm'' left the band. ''Aphazel'' then moved to the United States, formed a new line-up and became obsessed with vampirism.Ancient used to have a raw black metal sound, similar to Darkthrone's works. Beginning with ''The Canaan Chronicle'', they moved towards a more Nordic/atmospheric blackmetal sound, like Emperor (band)Emperor. After a period of turmoil concerning their line-up, including the exit of founder ''Aphazel'', they went on to add goth metalGothic-style instruments such as violins, female vocals and synthesizers to their music. Most of their records, with the exception of ''Det Glemte Riket'', have been issued on Metal Blade Records.

    Hellenic Cultural Society of San Diego
    The Hellenic Cultural Society of San Diego, California, is a not-for-profit corporation, working to focus attention on the accomplishments of the Hellenes. It is dedicated to preserving and promoting the great work of the philosophers, historians, scientists, mathematicians, writers, artists and other brilliant minds of Greek origin. It advocates returning American educational institutions to the teaching of the traditional history and culture of Western Civilization, which has its roots in Greece and is a most important element of our democratic heritage. Our Society's efforts are extremely important because today's children are being denied knowledge of the enormous contributions the ancient classical to modern Greeks made to the world. We have a duty to make certain that everyone knows the truth - as stated by Sir Henry Sumner Maine's dictum: Except for the blind forces of Nature, nothings moves on this earth that is not Greek in its origin.
