Pfffft... Greece wipes the floor with all of you. We're the Hellenes. That's one badass ethnic appellation right there.

Are the great civilization wars over yet? LOL, I'm sorry but even though china was an inverted civ, I'd say it contributed more to the rise of the west (gunpowder, paper, pasta hehe) than egypt did. Without the chinese, the europeans would never have been able to deebo the world, they be using crossbows an shit.
You guys have massive egos, and this board not big enough for two megalomaniacs, one of you has to give ;D
LOL,and egypt is not "more caucosoid" than bahrain and saudi arabia (maybe yemen), it received good geneflow from both north and south. LOL give it up alexandrian, stop trying to completely whitewash egpyt, just because you want to fit in with meds so badly.
I would like to see a REAL fight between ancient egypt and china. Egypt (like always) would get mollywhoped. They got beat by EVERYBODY. God their military sucked ass. They're worse than the french. ;D

Could'nt come up with a better refutation other than "this post was pointless" huh? Breath...give yourself time for your ego to deflate...breath again....realise your missing self-esteem....breath...accept who you are as an individual an get on with your life. Realise its pointles to claim the acheivements of predessesors as your own, go create your own accomplishments and stop getting mad when people critisticise or put egypt in its place. You are not egypt itself. Chill out.

Egypt has been up and down throughout its long history. And that's what makes Egypt so famous. It's so, very, very, very... old.

You might be right, maybe its more cultural than racial, however I always get the feeling "whites" or europeans are out to prove something. Something which has already obviously been proven (dominance) and like to collecetively chest pound, make movies (alexander), write the same stories over again, lol some europeans even feel proud of their respective nations record on colonialism and empire! (and all the evil that entails) Who would want to be proud of exploiting people? Thats like being proud to be a pimp....................... are you talking about white americans or europeans ? because i don't undestand this trend you are talking about. i think that a more relevant question would be : Why do black american folks continuously justify their unsubstantial inferiority feelings ? but i must admitt that in France there is still such pride about colonial times, but... who cares ? everybody knows that the ancient greco-roman achievements that europeans like to refer to was preserved ans perpetuated by Arabs (i use here the word "Arab" for all muslims who contributed to the former islamic empires, Persians, Berbers, egyptians, Syrians, probalby some subsaharians too, etc. before the turckish mess ! héhé.) i think that most europeans should remember that when hospitals were already planned by muslim, the most wide-spread medicine for Europeans was amputation and leechs... i read once a awful description of pains suffered by crusaders in Jerusalem (or some other ugly place like that) and how most of them prefered to appeal to muslim treatments tha their own "doctors."

God their military sucked ass. They're worse than the french. ;D I think you should go again to those book shelves you complain about and read some more European history. Actually the French had some success, ever heard of Napoleon?

Actually the French had some success, ever heard of Napoleon? this girl, Ministerelle, complains about how whites (probably white americans) continiously justify their prejudices against others and how they twist history, and she repeats exactely what her white americans masters tell about French ! it's not the thread which is pointless, but mademoiselle ministrelle.

Minstrel, you don't realy have any ideea why people write and study history, do you? Why, is there a secret formula to history that only you and a select few others know? Enlighten me as to "why people write and study history". That has to be one of the stupidest statements I've heard so far. You mean the guy who lost to ex-slaves in haiti, and had to sell off luisiana? You mean the guy who lost 50,000 men in one battle? (leipzig) And ofcourse lets not forget his tragedy in russia, one that was foolishly repeated 130 years later by germany. he did have an empire, if you could call it that, but he did'nt have the statecraft to maintain it, he ended up only hurting france in the end.

With name like "Amska" Im not sure what your trying to say. Resorting to personal attacks huh? A rather low-blow I would say. I never said they "twist" history, just mis-represent it. I said history should reflect all of history, not just mainly a single geographical area. If thats what you want, dont call it "history" call it european studies. Pay attention "Amska". Also its not so much "white americans", the masses don't write history books, a class of scholars called "historians" do. Now where is the "market" for such "multicultural" books. They are not "multicultural", its history, like anything else. People are probably tired of european history, because they only read about it, similar to this guy www.farlops.com/games/allohistory.html (who is white, and probably american) it will be refreshing to hear about somebody elses history.

Yeah that known military idiot, Napoleon. Minstrel, Germany lost two world wars and Germans are still considered the masters of the war art by all the experts of the field. France was a major player in the world politics for long, which is something that can't be said for many nations. When you talk about Frenchmen as pushovers you are just parroting an ignorant statement you hear from the worse USA's media. France conquered almost all Europe when Europe was all there was to conquer. Anyway this is out of topic, so it's my last bite on the subject.
