Wheader we like Turkey or not doesn't realy matter, the West NEEDS them.
What do most want and hope to ashieve with motions like those adopted by Congres?
They simply want Turkey to CONFESS TO the fact and ACKNOWLEDGE that they commited grave attroceties against the Armenian people.
The killing ore just having about 700.000 "starved" can't be called ore waved away with the argument "'t was war ,we made mistakes.."
Nor should WE forget that it DID happen, it happend as good as the willfull sloughter of the American Indians ,the fact that it is "a old hat" doesn't free the Turkish people of a moral guild against the Armenians and the ofspring of the victims especialy.
Turkey should simply "come clean" and aknowldege what has happend and acsept the consequences of that , it's THAT what the western world asks of them.
None beeing right in his mind would blame pressent day Turks for what happend in those day's for those who took it upon them to do it are already dead for a long time.
Facing youre history isn't easy and often painfull as well but it's a introget part of growing up as nation and people and...unavoidable anyhowe.

Roman traders almost curtainly followed the Amber-street up to the Baltic states of today crossing the vast Skythian terr.
They might aswell traveled into Lutum (lat. name for Jylland) for ex in the times of Augustus and Tiberius when there was still a more frequent and stronger Roman presence north and east of the Rhine.

The way they are drawn the motion of the animals brings me to a 95% conclusion that they are indeed horses and not donkey's.
Indeed the Horses started in there evolution about the size of dogs but in the age I was speaking of larger horses where already there ofcourse next to them smaller gatherings exsisted as they do still today.
However youre sugestion that donkey chariots where used to bring (e.t fresh ) troops up to the battelfield should not be simply ignored.
Ore that those where used for routine patrole buisness bearing in mind that often these city-states covered quite a bit of terr.

Vaguely I recal having seen a scene like this in stone.
If my memmory serves me well it dates pre- Sargon of Akkad (not to be confused with Sargon of Assyria)
The Gutean age say Ur, Uruk,Lagash around 2500 B.C.
Somewhere between roughly 26 and 2300BC Horses where introduced into Meso Warfare as the Standart of Ur showes us.

Well I am not TOOOO surpraised about this.
I think people lived all over Northern Europe during that specific period .
First ,Iceage or not the weather was as changable as it is now (there where warmer periods within the area we call "Ice age".
Second, some area's are simply warmer than others related to ther geographical situation and hightlocation.
Sea or Gyser near area's for example.
Third, many groups ventured from warm place to warm place to survaive.
Fourth,the people of those times where adepted to the climat. situation they lived in.
In Scandinavia people also remained during the Ice age.

I voted with "No"
The Gods, it's well known, favoure ,quite often, those with a somewhat twisted mind.
Some of the Gods ,whisper has it...,do have a twist themselves.
If ALL people would be sane ,and acting sane the World would be safer but also utterly dull!.
And don't we all have some kind of a twist?
wich makes us all a bit of'a God...If the gods favor the likes of G-Man, then the rest of us had better head for the trenches!
We already ARE in the trenches t's just none seems to notice it
We're gouverned already by G-man's for AGES...

Until about the 6th century the Greecks used to writte from right to left like the Hebrew and Arab of today.
Generaly indeed writting in mainland Greece disapeared after 1100 B.C but on the Isle of Cyprus for example and in Greeck communities in the east it did not (not entairly that is)
The Cypriotic writting bar used by Ventris could be seen as a "Bridge" spanning the period of 1100 B.C and lets say the Homeric age .
To this :
J.Boardman "The Greeks Overseas " and J.Chadwick "The decipherment of Linear B"

We should not forget that the Saeson where well aquanted with the Norse and both had a language
that stammed from one Germanic root.
Trade between England and the Scandinavian kingdoms was more dence then with France the Francian Empire I should say.
Languages are fluent like water the chance from generation to generation .
I am born Welsh and from time to time we visit family there and I have seen remarkable changes in the Welsh language for example to diminishing of English in Welsh.
Next to the Welshisation foathered by the nationalits there generaly is a renewed intrest in the "auld Language " there.
I think discussions about languages are important the are a positive aspekt in the proces of acsepting each other.

Might I commend the invention of the jackboot ( by the Assyrians) as the fundamental tool of military excellence? Allowing all season , all terrain campaigning over lesser sandal- wearing types in the Fertile Crescent.
The Hittites got footwear as well and they campained in winter as well (Tuthayalis IV campaining in Valivida to upperhand Pyaradush who sought refuge in a (app!) Greeck city (poss) presentday Halicarnassos)
One will forgive me for it but I greatly admired the work of the artist drawing all those historical scenes.

Hello
Besides the Roman army, the Assyrian one allways fascinated me.
The Assyrian army was, perhaps, the first truly organised (in every aspect) army of History.
As said, the Assyrian had infantry, both nationals
http://community.imaginefx.com/fxpose/jp_v...cture35544.aspx
and foreign auxiliary
http://community.imaginefx.com/fxpose/jp_v...cture35546.aspx
The use of the horse would that be in chariots or as cavalry
http://community.imaginefx.com/fxpose/jp_v...cture30728.aspx
Was also a weapon that helped the Assyrian to achieve their maximum glory.
The Assyrian exceled also and notably at siege warfare.
Besides all the major components of an army (until the advent of gunpowder), the Assyrian made great use of psychological warfare.
Their method was simple but very effective: to inspire the terror on your foe is almost to win the war; after each action of intimidation the Assyrian made sure that everyone possible knew about it.
So, even before Rome was anything else than a small city, Assyrian had a professional, highly trained, ruthless and efficiently army.
Best regards
I too share youre admiration for the Assyrians ,not only its military.
The Assyrian army brought in a new element of tactics and that was the so called first striking unit ,a group of specialy trained man who would deliver a first blow against a enemy that was still gathering and organising its troops and positions.
The aim of such a striking force was to create disorder and to delay the organaised resistance of there enemy.
It failed only once..during the battle of Quarqar in coastal northern Syria 858B.C
It worked perfect on open plain area's but not against the hill and mountiniouce fighters of Urartu.
