The battle is Alexander the Great vs. the Persians at Gaugemala. Either that or Granicus, I'm sure of it!

Thanks for the kind words, Praetor, I'm very happy you found it readableSmile
 
I must admit that the importance of knowing that pseudo history is merely pseudo history, is one of my main fields of concern (that and the grammar of my mother tounge).

My congratulations to the many talented contributers to this magazineClap, with special thanks to my good friend Knights and his valiant attack on the Hun myth, Theodor Felix for a very good article on one of my favourite battles in history, to Constantine XI for helping to bring the highly talented Emperor Constantine V out of obscurity and to Hope for reminding us that human beings are as gullible as ever and for an attack on the historical accuracy of the Da Vinci code and related texts (the more the merrier).

exactly Constantine, all depends on what you imply by the term university historian.

Aster, it depends on what you consider university historian. Bachelors, Honours, Masters, PhD graduates? Primary, seconday or tertiary history teachers? Scholars?

Sorry.. but Hugoestr isn't, as far as I know Dawn and Paul aren't either... so, it is the question of whether Theodore and Act of Oblivion are... although I doubt it.

This is great, great stuff - I'm really pleased to be in a community that produces such a periodical! I really enjoyed Act of Oblivion's article on Historiology - that would be a good board to have - the Philosophy of history...). Also, one question- is everyone here (well apart from a few Like Rider and Knights...) university historians?

Splendid edition! Paul, Rider, and the team - bravo!
To all the contributing writers, some fantastic work, I look forward to continuing reading my way through it all. Special well done to Theo Felix, on my favourite battle of all time Smile

Keep up the good work!

PS. Sorry to all Attila fans, for my slight 'bashing' of him Tongue

Right good these -- I've been rather busy of late, no chance to work on my articles, but I have one half written and I'll try to finish it up before the next edition.

Just one note, on "This Month in History" -- I guess "Johan Hus" is how you might say it in German, but historically we would call him Jan Hus -- calling it the "Johan Hus Riot" is a bit imprecise when we can say the "First Defenestration of Prague" (defenestration -- thrown out a window -- see also the beginnings of the 30 Years War and Jan Masaryk) -- also, written "capital of Bohemia (today's CSR)" -- the modern day country is called the Czech Republic, not the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic. And this sentence - "It was the beginning of the Hussite wars, whose history is told in an excellent article on AEs main section." Cool why thank you very much.

One more thing, English note rather than Historical. "the motions of the enraged people of Prague finally swapped over" looks to me like you mixed an idiom. "the emotions of the enraged people of Prague finally boiled over" fits better.

Sorry for the pedantry Embarrassed

Thanks,

They are the beginning of a new section (that will be mostly written by me, as it seems). I am fairly confident he can see something about Stargate the next one although my list-to-write includes more from LotR currently. Tongue Did he like them, did you like them?

Paul, pretty fine although the Stargate ones are a little out of place for me. And THIM is a little high too (a cm or two).

I was using firefox at home this morning and it was stuffing up. I'm not at uni using IE and it is perfect. So what you experience is the same as with me here.
