link to article (It saddens me that they are Republican ) Rep. Bradley T. Johnson is going after the state archaeologist's office again, and Utah's archaeologists are concerned. Last year, the Republican from Aurora, Sevier County, tried to transfer the state archaeologist and staff out of the Utah Division of State History and into the Division of Wildlife Resources. The bill turned into an interim study measure, and the notion of moving the office fizzled. This year, Johnson has introduced HB139, "State Antiquities and Historic Sites Amendments." On Friday his substitute version of the bill was endorsed by the House Natural Resources, Agriculture and Environment Committee by a vote of 10 for, 3 against and 2 absent. The bill would have the state's Public Lands Policy Coordinating Office

link to article Some of the world's most precious archaeological treasures - the ancient Egyptian tombs and temples at Luxor - are being devastated by salt water that is eating their foundations, scientists have discovered. The temples of Amun, Luxor and Karnak, designated World Heritage Sites, have survived 4,000 years of arid desert heat but are now being destroyed by rising ground water. The threat has been uncovered by American Egyptologists, who have warned that urgent action is now needed. Their view has been backed by Zahi Hawass, secretary-general of Egypt's Supreme Council of Antiquities. 'When I found out the Temple of Luxor and the Temple of Karnak were going to completely fall apart because of the rising water table, I was shocked,' Hawass said in an interview in Science...

I just don't know why the Superbowl business ppl were so stupid enough to put him at halftime. I mean really, the majority of my age didn't know who he was and don't really give a care.

Damn the Sunni Triangle, especially Baghdad. The frames make it seem exagerrate, I just wished they mentioned that this was over a huge long span of time.

I didn't mean that he shouldn't use it. Just saying no need for complication.

Apparently you didn't read the whole article which gives clear reasons why Tut died from infection.

Funny, I actually voted for economic decline as the single biggest contributor too, but I'd add that the declining economy wasn't some irreducible primary factor, but a consequence of (inter alia) bad domestic policy (e.g., the Edict on Prices, financing spectacles and public works through debasing the currency), bad foreign policy (esp paying more to bribe the barbarians than to build bigger armies and fortifications), Christianity (in the form of spending wildly on economically worthless churches and purely parasitical monasteries), and civil war. In my view, perpetual economic decline was the thing that made all the rest a real danger instead of a mere nuisance. Funny, I don't see Caesar in your post or anything concerning government.

Oh its nothing at all. Scerio just likes to be 'technical.' Just say gens Cornelii or Cornelii and its fine. Say that to a Roman they would know who it is no matter what. The 'house of' thing is just getting too technical in English grammar or rather lit.

Obviously I'm not pro-choice, but I won't address that issue for reasons being. However, I don't know why you used birth control and condoms as reasons when if you haven't noticed, their whole message has been that the whole time, everyone just assumes it so there really is no need for the Church to start a 'crusade.' Also, telling people to stop having families is not an option since the Church believes in 'procreation.' Anyways, the Church stands strong against abortion, 'everyone' knows that. I admit I may be biased alot, but ethics is just too complex to state who is right which is why in my view, God gave free will to do as we please with consequences. No offense to you in anyway Sextus.

Welcome fellow Catholic, that makes it 5 Catholics then. As for science in respect to Catholicism, there isn't much conflict with the exceptions of abortion, cloning humans(who the heck would wanna do that), and gays are naturally born(BS in my opinion). Aside from all that, the Catholic Church now promotes the advancement of science and learning. And if you try to say the Medieval Catholic Church...blah...stuff, it will do you no good since it no longer applies after the Church made the change for modern adaptation.

Well there's another misconception. At one time or another they may have been the best, however, when Emperors like Severus came to be, he would just choose is his most 'trusted' and easily pleased soldiers as bodyguards, which really doesn't designate them to be the best. They're just loyal, that's all.

Damn I wish I had your courage. But in my opinion, friendship is the best way to begin things which might gradually evolved into something more closer. And a little advice, be lax around her, be funny because that is always the best environment.

I think you already received the rest of all the remaining terms I sent you by message. So is there anything else I may do for you Viggen?

I personally thank each and every one of you. You all are sure great people. Valete!

Welcome to UNRV! You're a teacher, well I'm a student(at Loyola Academy). I'll be sure to ask you some questions. Oh also, anytime I translate something wrong, please correct me.

Great, I just realized it.

From my dictionary, an Oliarchy is a government ruled by a selected special few with immense power.

Obviously, I am a 'Roman' Catholic.

Thanks, it means a lot to me.

Historical linguistics isn't my specialization, but I'd guess (almost wildly) that up until a few hundred years ago the relatively isolated communities that spoke Ladin and Romansch would be the closest. And, please, nobody tell me that these are dialects and not languages. A "language" is simply a dialect with an army! If that is true, does Texan count as a language, quite a lot of people like to say they speak Texan.
