Nice. I sailed around Corfu also, that was amazing. You could almost see the mythology in the landscape, loved it.

Why'd they leave?

Yeah

SHAKESPEARE'S "hamlet" was derived from Aeschylus's "Oresteia"

They said they left because it was so dirty

Athens is quite polluted yeah

That was where they were at

We're getting quite philosophical in here... And that's a big dang word coming from a redneck

The Phoenicians created Carthage. -- that's half way to Norway

Lol

@Pablo Snaggletooth yeah I ain't gots all the learnin so this is giving me a nose bleed

Where were the Phoenicians from?

@Clare P you better grade that last statement I made

Nor me Phil, but I read alot about ancient history, I just dont retain the info that well🤪😁

But a lovely patriotic one at that Phil<:trumpcountry:787139691836211240>

I suspect most of our chattters are well educated. You might enjoy the novel "Lady Chatterly"s Lover," Phil

@Clare P I do it gooder!

I wouldn't know where to start Phil . Had to read that a couple of times (with American accent in my head) to figure that one 😂

They were from where Lebanon is, now

It does make sense

Kids always extend words like that because it makes sense 😂

@Lloyd Owen I enjoy learning american history and really digging deep beyond what's in the books. With family being in military, you learn more than what you're supposed too. It's secret truths that interest me. Don't be mislead, I'm not ignorant in history.

<@783409965003440139> because we rednecks ruined it. It was always some buck tooth hick saying it

Click that link for trump supporters clashing with protesters

Looked like Police getting on the way again

@Lloyd Owen I just haven't dug into other nations history as much beyond what links us together

I know right

Except for ancient alien theorist stuff... Which I take with a grain of salt

I read about 80 Civil War books, once I figured out that everything I'd heard and been taught was garbage
I remodeled 29 dilapidated houses, so my neck has been pretty red at times (ha

I need to read about 1776 and the civil war a bit more. I read a book about Custer and Sitting Bull not long ago, that was great. So much of what happened was down to the railroad companies pushing for more and more expansion

Not sitting Bull, Crazy Horse

@Lloyd Owen yeah, you'd find other stuff interesting too that's not in those books... Like the tornado that saved the Whitehouse from the british

Any recommendations for a civil war book Lloyd?

@America 1st 1776 Good the Federal Election committee should declare the Election illegitimate

I collect as many as possible to hand down when I'm old as who knows what history will have been rewritten by then

The Guns of Cedar Creek," by Thomas A. Lewis is special, though I have at least 30 favorites. -- that battle nearly cost Lincoln the 1864 election

Thanks, I will order that 👍

If you ever pass through Sacramento, I've got at least 10 extras you're welcome to

Did you guys know that NTD news stands for NEW TANG DYNASTY 😱👀🤷🏻‍♂️
