Gaius Octavius Posted September 26, 2006 Report Share Posted September 26, 2006 This disappearance is an unmitigated tragedy! Virgil61's opus sent into the ether of cyberspace! I suspect a conspiracy by his detractors. Dr. Dalby, perhaps you might look up Dr. Cronoch's exposition of the subject matter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pertinax Posted September 26, 2006 Report Share Posted September 26, 2006 This disappearance is an unmitigated tragedy! Virgil61's opus sent into the ether of cyberspace! I suspect a conspiracy by his detractors. Dr. Dalby, perhaps you might look up Dr. Cronoch's exposition of the subject matter. A great loss to scholarship indeed, I foresaw Dr Dalby lecturing to the UK Forum on this very topic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Virgil61 Posted September 26, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2006 (edited) We all owe Virgil a debt of gratitude for his promotion of...educational...discovery. I avoided looking at this thread till now because I thought "not another racial discussion". Having observed that there have been so many serious contributors participating, I began to read and soon realised that there must really be something of interest here. But, Virgil, your first link doesn't work any more (at least, not for me). Have I missed the bus? To the rescue!!!. The link seems to have changed. Go HERE and click on 'Le 101 finaliste...' in the upper right hand corner. Here it is on this LINK in a different format. Or use this for a different perspective on the theory.

Nephele Posted September 27, 2006 Report Share Posted September 27, 2006 To the rescue!!!. The link seems to have changed. Go HERE and click on 'Le 101 finaliste...' in the upper right hand corner. Ah, so that's what this was all about. I find myself perversely compelled to give each of these regional representatives of their species an appropriate *cough* "scientific" classification name. (Okay, so really I just wanted an excuse to anagram/blanagram stripper names for them.) Taking the first three... "Asia La Busty" (Agliata, Susy -g +b ) Miss Cinema Campania "Oriana Lovalee" (Alari, Eleonora -r +v) Miss Sasch Modella Domani Lombardia "Candi Tia Adultera" (Andreatti, Claudia) Miss Trentino Alto Adige And, because Gaius Octavius hails from my own region, he gets an anagrammed stripper name, too! Wheeee! Work it, G.O.: "Darckke Blaede" (klbekac dedera) -- Nepilla, Nepiana, Nephele Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, these new links were just what I needed. I should add that the map (the second link in Virgil's original post) is very pretty too, but in this subject area the salient points seem to stand out more clearly as one studies the raw data. To which I am now giving my best attention. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaius Paulinus Maximus Posted September 27, 2006 Report Share Posted September 27, 2006 I find the languages attributed to the specimens curious. I am afraid that they need further investigation. Only DNA tests could prove your hypotheses. This is an area in which I have much interest. It would be my pleasure to conduct these tests when you are of a mind to do so. I fear that this is just too big a job for one man alone ( even for the Lord of Brookfordshiresexingham!) so i am willing to offer my services for this very important investigation. I would give the specimens my upmost attention, in a purely professional manner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DecimusCaesar Posted September 27, 2006 Report Share Posted September 27, 2006 This certainly the best academic research I've ever come across, I would like to take part in study them too... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A.D., a man of your dignity, gravity and intelligence will surely set this particular subject-specimen to rest. A full report of your travails would be greatly appreciated.

Antiochus of Seleucia Posted March 27, 2007 Report Share Posted March 27, 2007 When do we get to see the results of this inquiry? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Augusta Posted March 27, 2007 Report Share Posted March 27, 2007 In my opinion, Italia Irridentia and Corsica along with Monaco and the Italian speaking regions of Switzerland should be included in the study. The more subjects that are studied the greater the validity of the work. And here I must take issue with the parameters of the study. Whilst the specimens shown are certainly persuasive as evidence for a thesis purporting to prove that racial types in Italy are perhaps somewhat superior to those throughout other areas of Europe, how can any full study not take account of the male variety of the samples shown? I would therefore suggest that this study is flawed and would welcome deep research into ALL examples of the racial type. I am prepared to do field work on this topic in the interest of scholars everywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
