Which pectoral?? I am frustrated!by Roxana Cooper - Ancient Egypt
People laugh at things that scare them. Men were frightened by the knowledge that for all their legal power they couldn't control their women. Aristophanes really plays on that fear in his comedies.by Roxana Cooper - Ancient History
It's totally thanks to early exposure to Lord of the Rings that I am able to process scores of characters, numerous kingdoms and lordships and millenia of history without relative ease. I'd never be able to cope with WOT or ASOIF without that training.by Roxana Cooper - Paper Lens
For some reason deceived husbands are always considered funny.by Roxana Cooper - Ancient History
They also began cutting characters and whole storylines and what they did to Dorn!by Roxana Cooper - Paper Lens
I gather things go downhill once they pass beyond the books.by Roxana Cooper - Paper Lens
I did. Probably twice. When I was in college there was a scare of some kind and everybody was asked to prove they had been vaccinated. I couldn't prove it so I got the shot, quivering like bowl of jello, I hate shots! But judging by the other pale faces in the Health center I was not alone in that.by Roxana Cooper - Laboratory
My guess is some David Haldane really impressed your ancestors.by Roxana Cooper - Humanities
So that's a yes. And their recipe is better than ours!by Roxana Cooper - Ancient History
Didn't the Romans invent concrete?by Roxana Cooper - Ancient History
Where I live, Florida, it was most likely a raccoon or a possum. Black Bear or gator are remote possibilities.by Roxana Cooper - Coffee Shop
The article calls the inscription skilled. Since this was a message intended to be carried by a convenient friendly Indian the choice of material seems odd to say the least. Why not carve it in wood?by Roxana Cooper - Paper Lens
So apparently Eleanor White Dare was a skilled stone engraver and had the leisure to carve her story in detail. Hmmm.by Roxana Cooper - Paper Lens
There would seem to be a British strain in the Royal House of Wessex, possibly due to political marriages with British princesses.by Roxana Cooper - Ancient History
Indeed. I see the distraught menfolk burying their families crudely but with care and setting off to avenge them. The mass grave may mean nobody survived to come back and make more suitable arrangements for the dead.by Roxana Cooper - Ancient History
So much for the peaceful, matriarchal Neolithic. I wonder if the menfolk were absent on a raid of their own?by Roxana Cooper - Ancient History
Nobody knows who is responsible for the massacre of fifteen people in Neolithic Poland though competition between the Globular Amphora Culture and Corded Ware Culture (and we definitely need better names for these cultures). The article points out that the burial suggests both nuclear families and a patrilineal culture in which women marry into unrelated families and communities.by Roxana Cooper - Ancient History
But as we know it is a really bad idea to do so. We made movies about it.by Roxana Cooper - Laboratory
Pretty much. It wasn't at all easy to relate to an invisible, bodiless, sexless God when surounded by deities more easily identified with. Some kind of focus was necessary.by Roxana Cooper - Ancient History
It is surprising and interesting that these islands, a backwater today, were the center of activity and trade back then.by Roxana Cooper - Ancient History
I just love Skara Brae, so cozy and well organized. Neolithic Orkneymen made themselves very comfortable.by Roxana Cooper - Ancient History
According to HBO it was a latte, and a terrible mistake. Khaleesi had ordered a herbal tea.by Roxana Cooper - Paper Lens
Not at all. I'm saying Khufu's successors wanted to stand out so they varied the color scheme.by Roxana Cooper - Ancient Egypt
Red and white makes a striking combination, if one wants one's monument to stand out next to the GP altering the color scheme would make sense.by Roxana Cooper - Ancient Egypt
Everything has to have a deep meaning. It's not possible that different Pharaohs simply favored different looks.by Roxana Cooper - Ancient Egypt
I recommend prayers to St. Patrick. He got the snakes out of Ireland, maybe he can get them out of Great Britainby Roxana Cooper - Coffee Shop
It makes me tired. The DNA results blew several favorite theories of mine out of the water. I have accepted this and moved on. I have no patience with people who won't.by Roxana Cooper - Ancient Egypt
I had a cat who liked to play with milk caps. they all ended up under the stove or the refrigerator.by Roxana Cooper - Laboratory
Gorgeous! Is he talkative? Most of the Siamese I've known have been vocal.by Roxana Cooper - Laboratory
