Archeology 201 Guidelines

If Indiana Jones happened to be a member of Tweb, this is where he'd hang out.

Welcome to the Archeology forum. Were you out doing some gardening and dug up a relic from the distant past? would you like to know more about Ancient Egypt? Did you think Memphis was actually a city in Tennessee?

Well, for the answers to those and other burning questions you've found the right digs.

Our forum rules apply here too, if you haven't read them now is the time.

    Kinda like emigration and immigration.
    Yes indeed you are quite correct - the words "Hamlet", "hoist "and "petard" come to mind.

The various movements that arouse out of the protests in the early sixteenth century have been splitting ever since over disagreements and disputations concerning translations and interpretations. The Monty Python team perfectly summed this up in The Life of Brian.
        Corrigendum: full emersion should read full immersion.

          No prob.
          The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

            I can (and do) wish you well, even though I think you're a bit of a stretch.

              Coming after writing a sentence describing me as "an arrogant nutter constantly trying to sound more intelligent than she is" the above remark might be considered somewhat disingenuous, Even the wink wink emoticon accompanying it has more than one interpretation.

              As I wrote to you on another thread, with regard to the discipline of history I know a great more than most of the contributors to these boards.

              That is a fact.

                  I might soften the "nutter" just a wee bit.

                  Maybe a tiny tad.

                      The default response. Do you hold the same view for any contributor who displays a degree of expertise on a particular topic?

                      Or do you reserve it solely for female contributors who do so?

                          Well I know from my exchanges with you that you are a frequent net trawler who still manages to get his facts wrong. Your latest gaffe being your comment concerning the fall of the western Roman empire where you incorrectly alleged that "Traditionally, the date is 395 A.D". I remind you again that the accepted date is 476 CE with the forced abdication of Romulus Augustulus to Odoacer.

                          You also go into radio silence whenever you are called upon to substantiate your allegations. Hence I am still waiting for you to supply evidence to support your statement re the apostle Thomas that "the fact he went to India is pretty well established" along with your contention that there are "earlier documented visitations" concerning Christians in China that apparently contradict the "many sources".

                          Making erroneous as well as unsupported claims seems to be your forte.

                            And whining on about unrelated matters when you get called out for something is your forte.

                            For the sarcastically impaired the following is said in jest

                            how very female of you



                            The fact is this is hardly the first time that you've fallen back to accusing someone of being sexist when they have criticized you. Deal with it.

                            And while that was the date ascribed by Gibbon, a large number of dates have been proposed including what was called the Imperial Crisis (235–284 A.D.), the aforementioned 395 A.D., and the Vandal invasion on New Years Eve 406 A.D. And those aren't the only ones suggested. So your smug assertion that 476 A.D. is hardly the "accepted date" any more than the others.


                            Btw, I've planned on addressing your attempted rebuttal after the New Year. It's just hasn't been high on my list of priorities.

                            ETA: And I just found this a few minutes ago And yes, there is nothing wrong with using Google to check up on something. The issue is relying on it for your information and then presenting yourself as an expert and bragging that

                                Yes, sir, which is why I don't make a big deal of it.
