So i was reading the most popular website of the national tv channel of my country, and there was that piece on "mystical" historical cities, like El Dorado, Karakurum, Ys etc... Among those there was Carthage as well; Here is what was written under the picture of modern day carthage in a rough translation;
... It was a most powerfull city state, and the main rival of Rome in the 3rd century BC. Her strenght came from it's killer phoenican fleet and an army of elephants, which controlled mountain ranges under Hannibal. Even tought her nickname was the Shining city, it did not survive for long, as it was taken by Rome and destroyed.
I mean Christ, how could someone write this on the most read webpage in the country?I guess it's time for me to start writing something about nano-technology and publish it somewhere, since it seems people can write just about anything these days...
Did you ever read such bull**** in your native web pages, or for worse, in books?
