I hate Romans. Stupid big noses and straight roads.

You should've added a disclaimer there yourself....

Happy Marathon day!
All Helenes should celebrate. Today we remember a great victory, the battle where Greeks fought for their freedom, such a great victory that we celebrate twice a year (12th august and 12th september).

Time for a separate thread, I s'ppose.

The oldest known stone building in the world seems to be a circular home in Ireland, and the oldest known mummies in the world are from South America, so Cro-magnon and then the Egyptians simultaneously came from Ireland and South America. Yup. Very simple. Uh-huh.

Happy Marathon day!!! And I hope you didn't have to walk or run that distance this day. Makes my feet, legs, broken knee etc., and my whole body ache just to think about that at this day and my age with all the accumulated 'honors' derived throughout my short life. Swimming at least is theraputic, so I think of Happy Salamis Day!!!

PS: The small, circular, stone Irish building and the South America mummies are legit though, about 10,000 years old, give or take. What is very interesting are the recent tunnels/old streets/whatever found below the surface of existing ancient Egyptian buildings around the Great Pyramid. Who knows what mysteries will be discovered and/or solved to some degree there and elsewhere.
