    One has to differentiate between the theoratical approach and the practical outcome of communism, while in theory Marx and Engels theories had many interesting points (but was still flawed in my onpinon), the practical outcome (USSR) was a dictatorship that had little to do with the concept of the original system called communism... regards viggen

    VATICAN CITY The Vatican said Tuesday that fewer witches were burned at the stake and fewer heretics tortured into conversion during the dark centuries of the Inquisition than is generally believed, but it also sought renewed forgiveness for sins committed by Roman Catholics in the name of church doctrine. In a statement, Pope John Paul II acknowledged that the Inquisition was widely viewed as one of the church's bleakest periods and that it loomed as a symbol of scandal. full article at International Herald Tribune

    At least three of the builders of Stonehenge were from Wales, according to archaeologists who found the builders' grave close to the Stonehenge site, and have linked the remains to stones used in the construction of the Salisbury Plain monument. The finding, which comes just before Sunday's summer solstice, not only sheds light on Stonehenge's origins, but also provides clues to prehistoric migration patterns within Europe following the Stone Age, which was the earliest known period in human culture. full article at Britarch

    Archaeologists combing through a dig at historic Jamestown said they have unearthed a human skull fragment that shows markings that could bear evidence of the earliest known attempts at surgery in Colonial North America. Two marks from a saw run along the curved top edge of the 4-by-6 inch fragment, which appears to be from bone at the back and base of the skull. Three small circular markings also seem to suggest attempts were made to drill through the bone. full article at phillyburbs

    A plain in Tuscany destined to become a dump has turned out to be an archaeologist's dream, revealing the biggest Etruscan road ever found. Digging in Capannori, near Lucca, archaeologist Michelangelo Zecchini has uncovered startling evidence of an Etruscan "highway" which presumably linked Etruscan Pisa, on the Tyrrhenian coast, to the Adriatic port of Spina. via Discovery

    I think that is impossible to say, but just for fun i would argue not much would have changed.. The germanics tribes would have done eventually what they did later one, dominate the area and become the leading force in Gallia... cheers viggen

    An early Christian burial site dating back more than 1,200 years has been discovered following a cliff fall. The site, overlooking Milford Haven waterway, was found by chance when part of the ground gave way to reveal bones gaping from the rock face. It was initially discovered two years ago, but a TV archaeological investigation has now revealed that they belonged to the Dark Ages. full article at IC Wales

    An archaeologist has helped solve a medieval mystery about a thieving monk. Gabor Thomas' work has finally laid to rest a centuries-old argument about where in Sussex the errant monk did his pilfering. The story began when a ship was forced to take shelter from a storm one Easter Sunday in the 11th Century and a monk among the passengers travelled to a nearby church to praise God. But he left with the remains of St Lewinna hidden in his luggage, which became a famed money-spinner for his monastery at Bergues, near Dunkirk. full article at Brighton&Hove

    The question remains, if the Celts had a chance, what would it imply? A surprise upraising in the east by the germanics, or even further in the east "Middle East" that would have caused to abandoned his campaign?
