Re: Large Shipwreck Found Off Greece

Modern method constructed pleasure boats have done well.

Re: Large Shipwreck Found Off Greece

Interesting 110 feet is a good sized ship Very much a deep water sailing vessel. Too big to maneuver quickly in coastal shallows as a "always in sight of land" ship. Most likely ran aground in such a site. I too would like to see a Black Sea find like this But I doubt the need for a ship t...

Egyptomania

One of the classic examples of this fashion fad was Col. Powers naming of various sites he saw in the Grand Canyon with Egyptian names.

He knew it would get him headlines.

We suffer from the side effects of those names to this day.

Re: Wroxeter pendants reinterpreted

Another example of the "male centric" point of view so long accepted in the histories studies. If I remember correctly,it was a female student that noticed that one of the "Venus" statuettes had braided hair. An indication of personal appearance concern in early humans. I, for on...

Re:Pre GrecRoman Egypt

Wasn’t there an Egypt to sub Sahara, salt for gold, camel train culture that pre-dated the Greco Roman era?

Re: CBS video

Typical CBS video Show one thing while talking about another. (Aren’t they the ones that put a blasting cap in a GM pick up truck to show how easy they caught fire?)

Re: Waterloo limbs

I am pretty sure that is why the M-16 has a 3 shot position on the fire control.
The FMJ .223 cartridge is less than lethal.

Fast modern medicine has made the number what had ...
