*Of all the trees that grow so fair olde England to adorn, greater are none beneath the sun than oak and ash and thorn. Sing oak and ash and thron good sirs, all of a midsummer's morn. Surely we sing of no little thing in oak and ash and thorn. Oak of the clay live many a day, or ever Aeneas began, ash of the Loam was a lady at home when Brut was an outlaw man. Thorn of the down saw New Troy Town, from which was London born, witness hereby, the ancient-ry of oak and ash and thorn.*

Rudyard Kipling was one helluva poet.

The Etruscans had the same word for "gods" or "god" or the same name for their deities as the old Norse.

2018-03-14 22:39:49 UTC  

The "Aesir"

2018-03-14 22:41:19 UTC  

What does that say then?

2018-03-14 22:41:40 UTC  

That contact was made, and the the theory of the origin of peoples in Europe is true.

2018-03-14 22:43:10 UTC  

I'm not familiar with the theory

2018-03-14 22:44:17 UTC  

The Indo-Europeans were a people that lived in the Caucus region in the east, and spread throughout Europe, North Africa, Persia, Anatolia, and India.

2018-03-14 22:45:15 UTC  

Meaning that we didn't all originate from Africa?

2018-03-14 22:45:37 UTC  

That is different, although as of last year, a hominid jawbone, a human jaw, was found in Greece

2018-03-14 22:45:45 UTC  

making it the oldest human remains ever found.

2018-03-14 22:45:55 UTC  

Thus bringing into question the "out of Africa" theory.

2018-03-14 22:46:24 UTC  

We are still greatly unsure of the repercussion of such a thing.

2018-03-14 22:47:44 UTC  

Interesting, I'll look into that. From what I know of anthropology the "out of Africa" theory still makes sense but thats the first Ive heard that Europeans came from the Caucus region

2018-03-14 22:48:08 UTC  

Oh that is just modern Europeans. This can be suported by out of Africa still though.

2018-03-14 22:48:28 UTC  

This occurrence only happened about 10,000-ish years ago.

2018-03-14 22:49:49 UTC  

Oh ok I was thinking the theory said that we were basically a completely different people

2018-03-14 22:50:18 UTC  

That may actually also be true.

2018-03-14 22:50:28 UTC  

With the discovery of that jaw I was talking about.

2018-03-14 22:50:31 UTC  

We're still not sure though.

2018-03-14 22:50:53 UTC  

But Indo-European is definitely a real thing.

2018-03-14 22:52:50 UTC  

Where did agriculture develop? Was it in Egypt or did it start farther east?

2018-03-14 22:53:05 UTC  

Not including East Asia

2018-03-14 22:53:18 UTC  

Agriculture developed in multiple regions at once according to archaeological forensic evidence.

2018-03-14 22:53:29 UTC  

One of these was in and around Peru

2018-03-14 22:53:33 UTC  

by the Incans

2018-03-14 22:53:41 UTC  

Another was in Anatolia.

2018-03-14 22:53:54 UTC  

I also believe in between the Tigris and Euphrates.

2018-03-14 22:54:20 UTC  

Gotta brush up on the early history folks

2018-03-14 22:54:37 UTC  

I can understand where it gets dull for some people.

2018-03-14 22:54:45 UTC  

Like dark age history always depressed me,

2018-03-14 22:54:51 UTC  

mostly because of all the premature death.

fellas

2018-03-14 23:00:26 UTC  

union or confederate

2018-03-14 23:00:36 UTC  

Confederate.

2018-03-14 23:00:49 UTC  

"North Texas" stupid question

2018-03-14 23:01:21 UTC  

The earliest ancestor that I can directly trace though was a Union lieutenant from Conneticut.
