Another thing worth remembering is that nobody has blind tested or repeated his results yet, so it's very much unconfirmed still. But it sounds credible, especially next to all the people saying that...

Let's not forget that the Great Wall of China was originally built around 1500 years before the Mongols invaded, and hadn't really been built upon since the "Southern and Northern Dynasties" period...
Yeah, Pydna. Think I've seen that illustration in a book on the Roman army.
Damn, too late. The Angus McBride illustration?
Battle of Poitiers?
Henry IV of France?
I stand corrected, was mainly going off the pottery with red/black-coloured men on them. I'd never seen an example of painted art like that.
Well, yes, but Carthage was clearly Phoenician in terms of language, religion and culture, while Thebes essentially wasn't. Furthermore, the traditional founding myth of Carthage in the aftermath of...
The idea of Thebes having anything to do with the Phoenicians is pretty suspect. Linear B finds indicate that Thebes has been inhabited since at least Mycenaean times, both before the main period of...
It is indeed Jean Jaurès, +rep
Ah sorry, didn't realise he had a name.

Unidentified king of the Scythians in the Behistun inscription?
There were other child emperors like Honorius, plus lots of child co-emperors with their fathers who don't really count but are in...
Bernadotte?
Granted. Medieval III is released and all M2TW players quit, leaving you the best player on TWC.
I wish I had a sabre with which to open champagne.
Ashara Dayne is still an option, after all (though I'm pretty sold on R+L=J).
Hyksos invade Egypt?
The only way for this to work is to kill all other people in the world (I won't say which aim it's achieving).
I wish I had more clothes.
Minor weird display problem - in a battle for a fort, the arrow tower captures worked perfectly but the icons to show control were simply miles away on the wrong side of the battlefield...
Fall of Carthage?
Hamas isn't part of any long-term peace solution - but neither are Israeli hawks, who often attempt to conflate a pro-Palestine stance with a pro-Hamas one.
Sultan Osman I?
Granted; it is the exact same sword, made by the same smith and has been hidden in the earth for 1600 years... where it rusted down to just a hilt.
I wish I had more hats.
Edit: just ran a few MP battles, probably not good enough connection to guarantee no DCing. Cancel my enlisting
Round one will 'begin' on the 27th, but are we allowed to play our game on the 28th?
Yes, because dividing people into areas based on essentially arbitrary ethnicities is exactly the sort of great idea that didn't already kill six million Jews.
These people live in Palestine. They...
"Political Mudpit: Use this forum to discuss current events and specific individuals in politics today."
If you can't defend what Israel are doing right now, you're posting in the wrong forum.
I don't think so, Wulfburk does. And your post was pretty ambiguous too :P
Is anyone going to actually substantiate a reason why Game of Thrones is a) now the original source for all vaguely medieval entertainment or b) terrible?
Except Arabs evicted to provide land for the new Israeli settlers.
Who had no equality in mind at all, because after all they were preaching to a belligerent and entirely Jewish audience back...
Well, actually many Germans are now resettling in Poland and Czechoslovakia. I'm not saying that Palestinians should necessarily be given access to land their families owned in the past, but they...
Repped.
The Lebanese government, as acknowledged in this report, is making progress in allowing work for Palestinian refugees and accommodating them. Progress is not being made by Israel, which continues to...
It would be a lot easier to resettle Palestinians if Israel weren't continually evicting more of them and colonising their land across the West Bank. Also many people in Gaza wouldn't be in refugee...
Granted; it immediately ignites and your ship explodes with it.
I wish I could understand Russian.
To quote your source: "The socioeconomic situation is relatively poor with nearly 40% of Palestinians being considered chronically food insecure". As reported by the UN, the Israeli blockade of Gaza...

The only thing to note with this is that it's accurate to about 40 BC. The buildings...
They're pretty basic, but Tom Holland's Rubicon has overview maps of Rome in both 140 BC and AD 14. They pick out the main streets and buildings (Senate House, etc) but wouldn't be much use for a...
As long as it's not as bad as Atlantis. I don't think I could bear to watch any Uhtred if he's going to be like he was in the books, Warlord Chronicles would've been much more interesting if only...
There's a difference between Hamas' rhetoric, in Gaza, and Israel's actions in the West Bank, which is neither represented nor governed by Hamas. If Israel break international law in building new...
