Jane - Eric Charters made the statement a while back on this thread #reply-4017314 that Scythians=Celts ... he's a Celt and a bright guy, but watch out for humour disguised as fact, i.e. bullshit -g- .... cheers

Jane, What is evil about Templars? I have seen their fortifications in
Israel, and their last stronghold in Malta! They have a colourful history,
which should be seperated from the mythology, fiction novels and Indiana
Jones movies! I also fail to understand what is evil about Scytians?
We should study the histroy objectively, without emotional involvement!

Years ago, a the head of UNO Histroy Department there was tDr. Jeromey
Johnston! He had claims to come from some sort of aristocracy
in Golfport Mississippi! gg He used to inisist that those who teach
US history must be decendent of settlers who came on Mayflower, or at
least 5th generation WASPS! Italians, Jews, Slavs, Hispanics, Asians,
or African-Americans wouldn't fit in his list of those qualified!!!

Sounds stupid, right? Right! He was emotionally involved with his
studies and had lost the objecitvity necessary to teach! I thought he
was crazy!

So, I love to discuss histroy with you, but only if you stick to histroy!
I am not intersted in magic, or leftovers from Connan series, or evil forces
in the nature! I like questions! A lot of questions? When we have questions,
then we can look for the answers!

Kind regards,

Yaacov
