Author Post « Previous Thread | Next Thread » Cuthalion Count Registration Date: 2006.05.08 Posts: 803 Location: Utrecht, The Netherlands Well, my grandmother was Eve, and her husband was Adam. They lived in this great forest, a paradise! Unfortunately, Eve wasn't that smart and ate an apple. Then Adam and Eve were banished from the great forest and they came to Utrecht. Erhm, serious this time: My dad's father was a quite wealthy man, who owned a small insurance company, I don't know much about my dad's mother's family. My mother's dad was a farmer, who had worked in Germany in the coal mines. Because of that he knew how to speak German (he was Dutch himself), which greatly helped him in WW2, almost all soldiers around his farm were friends of his. Because of that he was able to provide shelter for people who had run from the cities, etc. I don't know that much about my mother's mother, she died when my mother was 12. __________________ Quote of the Day There's real poetry in the real world.

Maybe Europeans wouldn't be dominant as they did become.... maybe it would be Africans and Middle Easterns... anyhow, heritage guys, heritage... hmm... seeing a lot of white folks... 2007.01.14 15:44 Mormacil Herma-Mora the Woodland Man Registration Date: 2006.08.15 Posts: 2,322 Location: Netherlands Greece was conquered, and Persia too, all by Macedonians... __________________ "Why would I be bound by rules if I can see so far beyond them?"

I mean they used to be those Suljuk Turks from the Mongolian area quote: Originally posted by Ebonyknight the Hun guy Atilia or something conquered a lot but was defeated with like combined german/viking and all those tribes. yea, they had little lasting effect though... except a certain fear and hatred of asians present occasionally in European history. Though powerful for awhile they terrorized Europe partly cause they (Huns) were met with a failing nations that were in decline, and the Goths who were unused to such a brutal enemy... of course the Huns were once a larger group (Xiongnhu) and they invaded China, were utterly crushed, many assimilated, and some went west for easy pickings 2007.01.14 23:22 Mormacil Herma-Mora the Woodland Man Registration Date: 2006.08.15 Posts: 2,322 Location: Netherlands There is no real reason I think why the europeans are/were so dominant... Asia was hundreds of years ahead of us I think we're just better J/K __________________ "Why would I be bound by rules if I can see so far beyond them?"

But yeah,back on topic. so would the Mayans... in the classic times they were powerful... but as they weren't united... mostly in two large confederacies led by Tikal and Kalakmul... so Teotihuacan or Tula, a super-power of Toltec origin could mess around, but they's Chichmecs... who later invaded and ushered in the terminal classic... Chicehn itza, Mayapan, Tah Itza (Tayasal) and maybe Tulum, those smaller more war-oriented less sophosticated by powerful cities... 2007.01.15 21:46 Ebonyknight Seigneur Registration Date: 2006.02.04 Posts: 962 Location: Canada, Ontario But in white/europeanish places we have always had the best of strats some how and always find a way to outbest or defeat them in combat you see it threw your eyes as white dominate and I see it as we outjoust you. __________________ Some say I'm here, Others say I'm there, but really...
