There's no proof yet, but loads of evidence - more so than for Jesus or mohammed. King david was declared a myth by scholars, but this has been reversed by the Tel Dan find of a 3000 year House of David monument. Nothing in the OT has ever been disproved, rendering it the most vindicated historical document in existence.
How incorrect. The Old Testament was based upon prophesies that were to happen leaving an open ended question. The New Testament completed the prophesies of the Old making it less disputed.
The Old Testament comes under heavy skepticism whereas the New Testament is less disputed. Do you notice a lot of the times the Jews did not listem to God? Don't you think that is why God gave your land to the Phillistines when you did not obey?

Ok, Happy Birthday to Favonius Cornelius!

Btw the christian kingdom of Axum had contact with mecca i think/...
They've always had.
there is a report there was a Missionary who had close contacts with Mohammed. Anyone hear of this?Yes, and he had contact with Jews also and had distant cousins who were Jews and Christians. His tribe believed in the Moon God Allah. He decided to create his own religion taking second hand facts from Jews and Christians and creating his own religion.

The book that UNRV kindly game me that I am currently reading, could do a review sometime: The Constitution of the Roman Republic by: Andrew Lintott. It got really good reviews and something you would be very interested with it you like Roman government.
Another great book I read was Rome by: M. Rostovtzef that outlines greatly the history of the Roman Empire from the beginning to the end.

"Once the Crusaders had breached the outer walls and entered the city almost every inhabitant of Jerusalem was killed over the course of that afternoon, evening and next morning. Muslims, Jews, and even a few of the Christians were all massacred with indiscriminate violence. Many Muslims sought shelter in the Al-Aqsa Mosque, where, according to one famous account in Gesta, "...the slaughter was so great that our men waded in blood up to their ankles..." According to Raymond of Aguilers "men rode in blood up to their knees and bridle reins." Tancred claimed the Temple quarter for himself and offered protection to some of the Muslims there, but he could not prevent their deaths at the hands of his fellow crusaders. The Fatimid governor Iftikar ad-Daula withdrew to the Tower of David, which he soon surrendered to Raymond in return for safe passage for himself and bodyguards to Ascalon. [1]"
This is all from Islamic accounts who made everything look bad to a higher degree. Today many Muslims in the Middle East rave about how they killed the Crusaders.
Also remeber, although the Crusades were heavily influenced for politics there was still a certain desire to avenge the Christians who were brutally slaughtered to Muslim hand. That, you just can't deny.

You can see much of the modern Middle East, still does use a lot of Greek thinking and ways such as the Phoenicians.
The Greek language were as follow:
Alpha
Beta
Theta
In Phoenician they were:
Aleph
Be
Th
You can see the Greeks have influenced the Middle East in many ways no doubt. However you could say the same vice-versa, whoever this was through indirect ways since they never conquered Greece.
-
Could it have been possible that Greeks considered you Greek, if you were like them instead of the same ethnicity? I recall a quote from a Greek philosopher:
Being Greek is not so much an ethnic stock, rather a way of thinking.

So, would not the Macedonians fit in that realm?

I do answer on Egyptian Standard Time, which is usually late. Anyways the most boring Superbowl I've ever seen. :sadwalk:
-
Alright, an hour to game time Colts win 24-17.

Thank you guys, I apreciate it.
I had a busy but good day yesterday and a PSP for my 16th birthday.
I'd also like to wish Flavius a happy birthday also, although I think he's a little busy to with the Superbowl. I know how he feels.

I await you at the desert Roman.

Gaius,
there will be two things that fall your position and your army.
On a serious note, Rameses, I am now open to bribes should you wish to draft Roman mercenaries into your Pharaoh's army! (We have to stop Gaius somehow )Sure, all aboard we stop Gaius and his army. However, I should advise we don't meet at Actiums like SOME STUPID GENERALS!
I will pay you in Egyptians pieces, better an ally then Napoleon. You guys can tell I hate Antony and Cleopatra.

So much is explained...
and much left unwritten
I read it in a book I read about six months ago.
It basically said the Republican Rome era was like the Greek democracy and the Roman Empire was like the Middle East and Persian way of one man rules everything.
That's all.

So, :mummy: , why didn't the 'sand people' conquer Rome?
Conquer Rome GO? Greece did not even exist then. :frusty:
Egypt was known to accuraltely depict lands beyond its border they just did not want to conquer much land because that was not their kind of society. I think they farthest they got was conquering Nubia and Southern Assyria.
Anyways, I bet this guy is still laughing all the way to the bank.

I have no clue what you are even trying to compare?
Where did you 'hear' this? A fantasy convention?
Fantasy, historical accords same thing. I have seen it come up in a couple of books before.

Osiris was created in the middle stages of Egyptian life they did not have crucifixion then. At that time, Rome was just a bunch of tribes with Greece somewhat looming I think.

I am not Etruscan! I am and Egyptian general who will do anything to restore order and be pharaoh.

Ok, but whoever says that martial arts could have played a role in Oriental warfare compared to the others are wrong. Also I think it somewhat illustrates the wide gap of experience between the generals of both worlds. It may be too much to draw from one battle but that's my conclusion.
-
The Battle of the Talas took place in present day Taraz, Kazakstan between the Abbasid Caliphite and Tang Dynasy of China. Although the Chinese mercenaries defected to the Abbasid side they were still defeated with little trouble.
Could this perhaps be an indication of both warfares? We really have not seen any major battle between the Chinese and forces beyond its borders.
Keep it civil and factual, the is not meant to be in the arena.

Oh please, some Mormon guy claimed he was God. Some crazy lunatic in California, a famous guy, claimed he was God.
A bishop told us a story of a man in Africa who said he was Jesus but better, because he can show himself to his people.
I think this guy must be very insane, knowing how brainwashed people just gave him $3 million dollars. If only we can get a second coming of Julius Caesar, MPC would love that.

For Egyptians, all you need is one cohort. The last one of your legion.
Hoplites, chariots, and infantry shall assemble. I've been waiting for this, as war was inevitable. Seeing as how you Romans are so cocky I shall send a fleet to destroy your pity threats.
However, like a good general I will lead my navy and not run away like a coward such as those idiots at Actium.
Then we shall throw away Hellenistic rule and restore Egypt to its proper place on top.
BTW, I may be disguise as a Roman Senator.

Roman architecture and engineering no doubt in my mind. When you see these structures and ask, 'can we build those?' there is something special about it.

Yes, but that only applies if one follows the 'official' line on Jesus. And the official line comes from Romans cherry picking and altering the scriptures to suit themselves. How could Constantine possibly expect his subjects to accept Christianity, if the Bible stated that Jesus was a focus of rebellion against them, and that a Roman Governor had him mercilessly tortured and killed? Furthermore, the Jews were once again becoming rebellious at the this time. So, blame them for forcing Pilate's hand, and being responsible for killing Jesus. Even as a child at primary school, I used to think: 'why didn't Pilate, who seems not to have wanted to kill Jesus, just tell the jews to get lost, or he'd send in the troops?' The whole story just doesn't bear up.
I agree Pilate was forced to decree the crucifiction of Jesus, but this is not the matter here. The Romans set unfair laws yet Jesus always followed them and never argued with it. The Romans were cruel to most of the Jews, just barely tolerating them and Jesus no different.
All the scriptures are writted by Jewish people. Much of the scriptures was handled by the councils in Anatolia, more notably the theologians in Alexandria. I don't think there was much tinkering with it seeing how the Romans had little control over it.
-
...and if one is trying to 'sell' Christianity to the Romans, as was the case post 312, one would only preserve texts which show Jesus showing deference to Romans. Likewise, Romans being impartial, or in Pilates case, good guys having their hands forced to do bad things.
We're talking about the Romans as being opressive to the Jews. Jesus always showed respect to the Romans and was put in the position to begin with. I recall the Persians as being opressive, yet no one showed respect to them. Imagine the Romans who were worse then the Persians.

I don't know what to say, I guess you should take away the entire religions folder because I think many take it here seriously.
