"Tomb of Cleopatra found"

[Elmetiacos]

U are way to good at english to be a 15 year old Dutch kid, no offence though.

Nah, he's way too good at English to be British or American. There was that joke a couple of years ago about these new citizenship tests the UK government was bringing in - it said that anyone who scored over 80% in English would be sent back to Holland.

[Maion Maroneios]

Not again... There isn't a single Greek I know that doesn't care about a simple name.

Anyways, the finding of the tomb is awesome news indeed! I was invited to go work in Milan two years from now, but what I wanted was to go to Egypt. *sniff*

A simple name? If you, my friend, was a Greek yourself, you would understand. Just beacause not all of us have the same history, doesn't mean we shouldn't care about this matter

I will Not be sent to Holland, even if I average 95% (which I do)..Texas is already bad enough, I don't want to risk it with Holland (it may be good,, it may be bad, but I don't want to know).

Ibrahim by god is going to be 1/2 palestinian 1/2 Ohioan , which means he can be in Kuwait, the US, Canada, and Palestine, and Jordan, no where else (except as a visit)

Now now, that´s the sort of attitude that breads wars.
Truly, what does it matter what someone calls themselves? Just chill out man, and think of something nice, like flowers.

Greece should change its name! Problem solved!

Guys, discussing linguistics is fine, but don't turn it into yet another Makedonia/Greece whatever nationalistic discussion, okay?

[Ibrahim]

okay.

well, has Zahi recanted?

It really cracks me up how passionate these folks get over their histories and how they tend to come here.

[Strategos Alexandros]

The really extreme ones don't come here that often though. If they did there would certainly be a fair few more flame wars.

I have no great problem with the fact that more senior persons (such as yourself) sometimes do not wish to conversate in this manner because I am somewhat experienced in your style of conversation, laughing out loud what the fu*k barbeque.

I guess u could have left the last part out when u were translating though. Anyway that was if not nearly, exactly what I meant. Its not how I ussually talk on forums. The only things that I wont change are using the words "u", "gonna" and "gotta".

[General Appo]

u r dum, im gonna hit u hard.

Now, lets get back on topic shall we?

[Jolt]

Im interested as to whether there are any actual archaeologists / Egyptologists participating within this discussion?

I'm a student of Archaeology, if that matters. :P

[Moros]

I merely took an introduction class to Egyptian Archeology last semester. (Yes I passed) And I'll probably take a few more Archeology Classes. I study History though.
