    The Satire is a literary technique, which exposes the follies of its subject, like individuals, organizations or even goverments (empire) to ridicule, often as an intended means of provoking. A classic example of a satire d`extreme is Jonathan Swifts "Modest Proposal" more on it at Checkplease cheers viggen

    A 3,700-year-old antique in the shape of a dragon, made up of over 2,000 pieces of turquoise, is believed by many Chinese scholars as the oldest Chinese dragon totem. The antique was discovered in the Erlitou relics site in YanshiCity of central China's Henan Province. Many Chinese scholars believe that Erlitou is the site of the capital of the Xia Dynasty(2,100 BC-1,600 BC), China's first dynasty. full article at China.org

    BBC on HBO Rome Ciaran Hinds says; "It was never less than a challenge, but it was a huge, exciting project. A part of me will miss not being in the next series." So the first series ends with his death, right? cheers viggen

    can someone define empire? i found those three defenitions at Princeton.edu ---(the domain ruled by an emperor or empress; the region over which imperial dominion is exercised) ---(a group of countries under a single authority) ---(a monarchy with an emperor as head of state) so maybe it would be easier to compare if we know what we are talking about... cheers viggen

    As they gazed over their city from a perch atop the dome of the Church of Our Lady, Brigitte and Ulrich Lehmann could not quite believe where they were standing. For their entire lives, this splendid Baroque church, known in Germany as the Frauenkirche, had been a ruin - a bleak testament to the Allied bombing raids of February 1945. At least 25,000 people died in the raids and ensuing firestorms, which incinerated Dresden's old city, including the church. full article at IHT
