It was the assyrians whom first used iron weapons in warfare actually, which gave them a huge advantage. The etruscans are actually a distinct people from the romans and they ruled over the early romans, romans kind of said fuck it overthrew the etruscan king and went on an ass kickin campaign while in the process incorporating lots of etruscan ideas, like the toga which they actually got from the etruscans and not the greeks if i remeber history class correctly. As for the twilight question, I'm somewhat useless when it comes to pop culture so I'll have to pass.
Interesting. Assyrians were located in ...?? Where are they timewise relative to the Etruscans and Romans?Quote:

They eventually succumbed to the babylonians and persians as did most anyone else in the region.
I wonder if any of this stuff will come up in my next round of classes. I have geography and history starting next week. Is an interesting thread.
Not sure what i'm still doing awake tho...have an exam tomorrow and barely slept for 2 days as it is... :-\
Assyrians is that a yes or what, The indian sub continent gave us language, were an advanced Nation 6,ooo years BC they had the minerals and resources. Could we have a judecator on this CGM or the source [ HP] on this ;D
The Indians gave us Icecream, I feel indebted to them.
For a lot of years I thought it was Walls ;D
Heres one where did the 1st Americans come from and when. :confused:
If you are saying that your answer of India should have qualified, then sorry Scrap, but I have to rule against you, India is too vague. The question asks for a civilization, and it takes a place, a time, and a people to make a civilization, not just a place.Quote:

If you mean "modern day" I would say they came from Italy, in the late 15th century.Quote:

Got to go with cgm if you mean modern day, or maybe its a trick question they came from venice since in the 15th century italy wasn't italy.The vikings also showed up in the early 1000's but left no lasting influence, perhaps you meant native americans whom I think came ffrom asia some 20000 years ago over the land bridge that had formed out of ice between alaska and asia.
nope
By the way, my answers are from memory, so im taking your word for Asserians. ;D
OK, it is not modern day then. Theory goes the first Americans crossed the Bering Straight from Siberia, when there was a land bridge. Don't recall exactly when that was, maybe 30,00 years ago.
They came from France, 35,000 years ago. A bit longer than was thought and from a differrent direction.
I thought the driest place on earth was the Atacama desert in Peru? :confused:
OK, 35,000 years ago is close to what I said. I guess we are talking Cro Magnon man, which is essentially modern human. But I'm not sure what you mean by they came from a different direction. How would they get from France to America? Are you saying they built ships?Quote:

Either got a Boat or Walked over the ice, X youve got a point there I heard that plus there is actually snow in Antartica, it was an interesting program all down to the early mist.
