energyplay Re: Prussian/Norman. That is very interesting. I never thought of it that way. And I never knew that Curtis LeMay was involved with new math, of all things. Prussian-control, Norman-kill em all. You know, the English were some tough b*stards, at least they used to be.

On the American Indians, one thing it is not appreciated how terribly fragile their cultures were even before the Europeans arrived. There had been numerous local extinctions. I have a good friend who is an acknowledged expert in the mound builder Indian cultures of the Southeast. His specialty is the "Spanish Contact" period and has conducted very many digs. Years ago he made an important discovery and later proved it (it is now widely accepted by his peers). He discovered that all of North Geroria, North Alabama and parts of Eastern Tennessee ect.(a vast reigon). had lain totally uninhabited by anyone for over 100 years, from the late 1500's to around 1700 when the Cherokee moved in to this vacant land from the North. He had been doing digs in Coosa kingdom village sites (those visited by DeSoto in the 1540's) and discovered that in a generation or two they just dissapeared. Smallpox may have been part of it but this was the second mound builder extinction there; the first one was around 1000AD. Interesting stuff.
