  1. It was a book made for people starting on Rome. (A hardback kids book .) It talked about Caesar's Commentaries, however I'm not sure if Caesar made not of this or just the author. All I remember is it is title 'Caesar's Conquest of Gaul.'
  2. When you say closer to the Nile, do you mean it is also located in the Nile?
  3. So you want a saucy man to lead your army? It's ok I respect it...Roman.
  4. Hemlock was said to be a European plant, but can a plant in Greece grow in places with different climates? Greece has a hot and humid climate while Britain's and Scandanavias has an ice climate, would this impact where it is grown in Europe? Was it grown anywhere else in the world?
  5. Oh come on! Why go to the ever unpredictable when you can join the amazing :mummy: in his pursuits to put you in power. I shall promise you three things: 1. A nice beach with lots and lots of sand and desert time. 2. One step closer to world domination. 3. Belly dancers. (Sorry girls.)
  6. Yunan=Greece Yunani=Greek I think they used it even then. I believe when Christianity took root, Greeks felt more into the Eastern Empire then a Roman would. Lets not forget it also encompassed: Phoenicia, Syria, and Egypt. The capital was set up by Romans, but the Greeks had a large amount of influence. It is not uncommon to see some Christians call themselves Byzantine. In one Greek Orthodox Church I visited, some of their hyms were in 'Byantine.'
  7. Didn't he believe that a bean was like a human? He was chased down and refused to run across a field of beans meeting his untimely death. He was a good mathematician but clearly lacked what Greeks wanted, wisdom.
  8. I hope Arsenal gets better too, soon.
  9. The way you can tell the difference between a Germanic and Celtic tribe is usually by farming, by what I gathered. Celts were more farming based while Germans believed in migrating and having a staple diet of cattle. The Germans usually had a chieftain in charge of a tribe, there would be a new one every so often. Celts lived in tribes that were based upon villages each having a job to do. I just listed some differences I though of. It seems in terms of technology they were the same but the societal structure is completely different.
  10. Indeed, remeber Byzantium! Happy Birthday Honorius!
  11. edgewaters, I agree Mesopatamia is older then Egypt, but not that much older. The Nile Valley Civilization is almost as old as Mesopatamia's.
  12. I have shown my claim. Either way, Sumerians did not build ziggaurats until 2500 BC. In order to have any type of economy, either barter or agriculture, shows a sign of civilization and organization in itself. How were they able to collect the taxes? What would these taxes be used for? Egypt did attain civilization before 3000 BC. What you call civilization is up to you, but they were developed well before that time.
  13. Indeed, one day this :mummy: will have world domination.
  14. I will give this thread the proverbial 'bump.' Just because you're paranoid, does not mean no one's after you. --Regular saying
  15. It's from the 4th dynasty and as you said it was not from the pre-dyanstic era so Egypt is older then you claim. Dig Offers a Rare Peek at 'Pre-Dynastic' Egypt . Egypt had at least a partly agricultural economy as early as 5000 B.C., and archaeologists have uncovered royal tombs dating back as far as 4000 B.C. By the time Narmer unified Egypt from his base in southern Hierakonpolis, local chieftains had evolved into the kings of Upper and Lower Egypt.
  16. Pyramid of Saqqara. Also note this was the 4th dynasty in Egypt. Egypt came out of the Neolothic around 4000 and 4500 BC, and started making these monuments.
  17. I agree, there must be interest. I just loved the idea of merging Germans and Celts into a subforum, that was a great idea.
  18. The first pyramid ever built was by the Egyptians in 4000 BC, a mud tomb in Saqqara. There had to be a good amount of technology and intelligence prior to the date 3300 BC. The pharaoh era in Egypt started as early as 5000 BC.
  19. Adopt Roosevelt's policies, 'carry a big stick.'
  20. Quite interesting considering Egyptians made icons and art out of limestone and gold. Wood was at such a premium in Egypt, that was why it was so important for them to hold on to Lebanon from Syria.
