There where lots of civilizations prior to the europeans arriving to America.

That's because the last time a senator was in Egypt. That was Mark Antony.

We think it's one of the reasons Germanicus was done in by Tiberius. Because he was a popular senator who went to Egypt without permission.

If I recall correctly from the History of Rome podcast, Egypt was the richest Roman province and also supplied a majority of the food to the empire as well. So it makes perfect sense to not have a third party like a senator govern it if you’re the emperor. That’s begging for rebellion.

Relevant part from the article:

>The Normans began construction more than 900 years ago on the building that would become Leicester Cathedral, but legend has long had it that the site has been one of worship as far back as the Roman occupation of Britain. Now, an archaeological discovery has experts suggesting the legend may well be true.

>Excavations have uncovered what is believed to be an altar stone, found within the cellar of a Roman building they say is probably the remains of a private shrine or cult room. Mathew Morris, who led the dig, said the discovery of the Roman altar – the first to be found in Leicester – was “amazing”. He added: “For centuries, there has been a tradition that a Roman temple once stood on the site of the present cathedral. This folktale gained wide acceptance in the late 19th century when a Roman building was discovered during the rebuilding of the church

That churches were build in or on top of roman temples is not exactly braking news...

However this seems to be a church build on top of a roman house, containing a room dedicated to worship. Interesting.

Reindeer...

Those have been used for a long time in the far North

The osteological analysis of "horse rider syndrome" is based on fairly well researched biomechanical stress factors. The bony changes dont occur randomly and the muscle groups involved in the movement are isolated, so no it is not likely that this person was an acrobat.

I believe the governor had to be of equestrian real, because the emperor didn't want a senator to oversee Egypt and potentially build a power base there.

Supposedly senators were not even allowed to VISIT Egypt, let alone govern it, such was its importance.

People were also a lot smaller back then...

That's their business model, yes.

Huh. Leicester archaeology has really been hitting it out of the park this last decade. First Richard III's body, and now this.

True, i simplified a bit much, but yes, half ale/table wine/whatever else you call it based on region wouldnt be very intoxicating if at all.

oh okay sorry for assuming its just i hear this alot ftom afrocentrists and they get on my nerves and by our ancestors i obv mean ancient egyptians cuz im egyptian and thats what the post is about

Specifically, the researchers found 5 Yamnaya skeletons well-dated from 3000-2,500 BCE which display characteristics of "horsemanship syndrome" - ie, stresses and changes to the pelvis, thigh bone, hip socket which are seen in confirmed horseriders.

They aren't saying this is definitive proof of horseback riding. There's some speculation riding another animal (like a mule) or using the same muscles in a non-riding activity (barrel making, basket weaving) could cause similar characteristics.

But since it's already established that the Yamnaya people kept domesticated horses for milk at this point, it's possible.

As an Irish Mexican descendant, born in California, raised in Texas, I have never heard such a theory. I just thought it seemed odd that most sphinx noses are usually damaged.

When you say "our ancestors", I don't know who you're referring to. I think you might be assuming I know far more about you than is possible from your immediately defensive remark.

What I cannot understand is how is it possible they are burried?! I mean, if continents move or if there are sudden earthquakes or floods then ok sure, like there are some things that are in the sea. But so so many artefacts seem to just have been burried.

Any books on medieval Portugal? Like before the Age of Discoveries?

because we never was you're brainwashed

what are you implying that the nose was damaged? whenever someone says that they usually claim that these people werent our ancestors and we broke it to hide that they were african

The article was definitely interesting, but they're only going on what limited material has been found. Remember, I'm suggesting horses were domesticated tens of thousands of years prior. I've got harnesses in the stable that have nearly disintegrated, and they're only from my grandparents day. Outside of potentially fossilized horses, I doubt any evidence remains.
