The huge maritime trade that linked India, Mesopotamia, Red Sea and East Africa was too vast to control. If Suez Canal was exist as a natural branch in lithosphere at that time, I believe that the chain of four empires would be possible. Roman, Persian, Indian and China.. Imagine the sea trade!

@Vicious-Retard I'd like to know what equipment they used to pulverize the meteorites. Intense heat? And why the iron didn't rust over a time frame of 3000 or more years

@Vicious-Retard Big credit to the 60,000 Jewish slaves for the stone amphitheater completed less than a decade.

@Vicious-Retard We heritage some knowledge from them. So many comes directly from this period. It's not about american or early european history, right? Did their genes and culture continue and lives on in Italians?

Spoken like a true master. I'll ride with you.
a fellow optimist? Sounds like you have a healthy paradigm. We all have denial but it is what we do with it. Sometimes it is so subtle that it is hard to discern. Sometimes it is actually believed by us but we have believed a lie. Sometimes it is a known lie believed by us. Some allow it to define them. I acknowledge it within myself and move on growing and improving.

@Vicious-Retard Agreed. Considering he wrote in the '60s, his ideas were fairly "cutting edge," back then. I fondly recall reading in my youth with wide-eyed wonder, and awe. Not in the '60s, but still.
