It makes sense that Egyptians were Near Eastern people.

What's interesting to me is that agriculture and writing seemed to develop independently between Sumeria and Egypt. You would think that even back in the nascent days they would have had some overlap especially considering how closely tied Egypt ended up becoming to the Levant and eventually the entire theatre.

It makes sense that Egyptians were Near Eastern people.

When the Arabs flooded the Near East via Islam they sure fucked up that area. From Ur to Egypt to the Eastern Roman Empire that area was literally the cradle of civilizations for millennia.

And don't tell me about the advancement of the early Caliphates, they were just riding on the knowledge of millennia in the area. THere's a reason why they never recovered after Ghengis Khan

Yea that is curious for sure. Also I'm not familiar with Sanskrit or Ancient Indian text etc. but that and Chinese weren't connected but b/c of geography obviously. The Egyptians were so damn close to Mesopotamia and traded/fought/etc. with them so I wonder to.

Harsh...haha but something to it.

Sanskrit came from the Aryans. Eventually at least. The language did but they didn't write during the Vedic era they simply had oral traditions and a caste system which is why there isn't a whole lot to discuss about that era historically.

What do you mean? It's glorious! These professors have created this mess and now it's blowing up in their faces.

Do you cry when terrorists accidentally blow themselves up in a basement?

I mean it's enjoyable and satiates my thirst for political intrigue but god damn it fucking puts me in a pissed off mood. Right from the beginning, when they're yelling in the older woman's face, you fucking motherfuckers dude. I've got a serious problem with people that will disrespect the elderly, especially old women. I'd even go as far as to say it extends to HRC, I don't need to see her in jail, I don't need to see her with pneumonia or having seizures or whatever the fuck is clearly wrong with her, she just needs to go away. Go fucking spend time with your grandchild, go hike in the mountains, go reflect, do whatever you've got to do. Just fuckin do it and take all these fucking preachy college kids with you. I'm only 27, this is my generation and they're making us look like assholes

God damnit now I'm all pissed off again

Times like this remind me of the girl in Spoonriver Anthology whom everyone accuses of being a whore--she wasn't, of course, but eventually becomes one.

I thought you were older than that for some reason, Mike. Let the pissed-offedness flow through you. Stand apart from your generation. Read more books that are 40-70 years old. That's your sweet spot. :goteam: :drunk:

Stay angry, Mikey. Don't pick up the peace-pipe. Anger is a gift--give to those who most deserve it. Do you want to be one of us old dudes--with quotations from "Jaws" in our signature lines, sipping our way through the nights with fewer tomorrows before us than yesterdays behind us? Draw your indignation, if that's what you've got--show it.
