Sola lingua bona mortua est...&lt;p&gt;huskyr above called out the use of ancient.eu&amp;#x27;s social buttons as being a distraction. But to be honest I&amp;#x27;ve rarely seen a web or native digital library of ancient sources experience that was acceptable to non-scholastic audiences. Take a look at UCLA&amp;#x27;s CDLI - Cuneiform Digital Library Initiative:&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;cdli.ucla.edu&amp;#x2F;&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;cdli.ucla.edu&amp;#x2F;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt;A search for &amp;quot;Gilgamesh&amp;quot; yields a trip back to an ancient page layout Endukugga himself might have been more comfortable browsing. I realize these are digital humanities projects funded with scarce grant resources. But I can&amp;#x27;t help thinking they would appeal to a much wider audience, that would be enriched tremendously by the wisdom of the ancients, if only presented in a more user-friendly manner.</text></comment>
