History
The history of mankind and what mysteries might still be buried and undiscovered has always captured the imagination of humans. An example I find beautiful to contemplate is the age of Cleopatra and the modern-day we live in with our technology is shorter than Cleopatra's between her and the Pharos which built the pyramids. (Wee, Rolando Y. 2019) With this, exploring the vast expanse of available information could serve up a vast expanse of possible themes.

The process to create the metals.. there is a lot of chemistry and understanding of working multiple metals together. This could be explored in any of the ancient civ's but there is something about the history of my own nation that is appealing.

This starting point of myths and legends can lead to an interesting theme. Making research enjoyable learning about the different stories and gods that existed. Possibly even finding the links between old myths and what still lingers on today's stories.

Remembrance - The topic of remembrance means a lot to me personally. The history of war and the suffering men have gone through for righteous causes I feel is incredibly moving. It is also important to me for the message of what it can do to humans, on a good and bad level. Ways in which to get people to remember in different ways and think about things during war other than surface level aspects could be a good place to start.
