The earliest mounted archers were reported in Ancient China (Mounted Archers: The Beginnings of Central Asian History by Laszlo Torday) "In the second century B.C., on the remote north-western frontier of China, a tribe of mounted archers overran the lands…" The use of the mounted archer spread up and down the "Silk Road" arriving in the mideast tribes circa 0AD.

"Honeydippers" are the tank and pump trucks they use to clean out septic tanks... RE the depth you commented on. I figured he's already using backhoes and front end loaders (cry), why not?by Jammer - Ancient History
oh yes, fair Warwick... If this keeps up the next Osmangic non-standard tool needed is going to be a "Honeydipper*". Jammerby Jammer - Ancient History

I start with a confession of being an avid amateur historian following both your trains of argument with fascination. I do know something about Typhus however. It can spread directly from human to human. A survivor can spread it for years (Typhoid Mary is an example). There can be long dormant periods followed by flare ups. Deaths today worldwide still exceed 600K a year. Thisby Jammer - Ancient History
Well, whats the definition of "original owners"? The native Amer-indians who sold Manhatton? They were only passing through... The Egyptians who still live near where the item was recovered? Genetically traced descendants of the original tomb burial descendants? (If they prove locatable). I really like the other gentleman's post who stated "We're all terransby Jammer - Ancient History
OMG; that was a good correlation! Well done! I confess didn't even get it the first passes. Thank goodness for Google.

Tea time is so important you see; it built the British Empire. Seriously, some more archaeological educated acquaintances who feel that they should have shared Nuclear Fission openly and kept Ground Penetrating Radar ultra top secret… The old “We could tell you, but then we’ll have to kill you” trick.

Wow Mark... He seemed intent and fragmented at the same time. Then he seemed almost paranoid (Big government is out to dupe us!). Perhaps the original was written by a multiple personalty! Imho the question isn't not "was the earth ever warmer?" or "colder?" The big question is at what population/environmental impact level do we over stress our own pretty bby Jammer - Laboratory
Yet one more exapmle of the items themselves meaning nothing without the precise placement layer being included. Amatures would ruin this by removing all trace of the most pertinant data. Thanks for the interesting read, Allan.by Jammer - Ancient History
Is it possible it's a natural selection for an expanded cranial capacity when the birth canal could not expand in girth any more (safely?) Jammerby Jammer - Ancient History
I fully agree Stephanie! If we were reduced to a gene pool of 1,000 today, would truly modern man have the fortitude to repopulate? Or would they all just protest "Where is Fema?!" Jammerby Jammer - Ancient History

I believe a full DNA test on "Oliver" proved he was 100% Chimp, just a strange looking fellow. Proof positive that the same different looks on HSS we all know and love come out in our distant ancestors. Successful mating with chimps is long past, but I recall reading one of the roots of AIDS being introduced into humans was African males having sex with monkeys or chimps... soby Jammer - Ancient History

So what the data from Europe and Asia indicates is the male of the species would mate with any female roughly the right shape he can catch... I can't help but think "Evolution has changed us exactly how?" Jammer (confessing to be a male of the species)by Jammer - Ancient History

"On 14 April, surrounded by journalists, Mr Osmanagic began digging. With no internationally accredited archaeologists present, the excavations were carried out by mine workers from nearby Kakanj."
