Historical annoyances.

2) Modern Macedonians were the same with the Ancient Macedon people.

Drives me crazy when Macedonian politicians and fake historians say that...

3) Modern Bulgarians were the same with the Bulgars. Huns were Bulgars, Bulgars were Huns.

What you say is true, most of the genes of modern day Bulgarians are said to be Slavic.  However, what is also not true is that the Bulgars were a horde of 50,000 nomadic warriors who had no impact on the Bulgarian ethnos.  They did... albeit not that much .

Huns were a conglomeration of tribes right?  That is how I have always been taught and what it says in history books which I have read.  What is interesting to note is that while there was Bulgars with the Huns (I don't know what percentage of the whole they represented) there is also sources that they were in Armenia and the Caucus at the same time.

OTOH?  What does that stand for?

And as far as I know, there are recordings of the Bulgars going back to 5th century BCE.  Also, while Attila was conquering Europe, there are records of Bulgars in Armenia.

Modern Bulgarians are mostly Slavised Latinised-Thracians and Slavs. The original Bulgars of the Balkans have disappeared, leaving only their name to their Slavic subjects.

Not only their name, many words and phrases are left in the language, the grammar is the only one of its kind in the Slavic world.  Also, especially in some north-eastern villages, some Bulgar traits (physical) are more evident.

Annoyances:

-The middle ages were dark

-everyone was stupid and deliberatly ignorant during the middle ages

-the "renaissance" changed living conditions and way of thinking among people at the time

-the greeks and romans were all sincere old men dressed in white and oliveleafs, who did nothing but discussed democratic politics and philosophy

-The conquistadors were superiour due to their primitive firearms (like if the cumbersome handguns and arqebuisses of the 15th-17th century were some kind of super-AK-47...)

-The mexicas (popularly known as aztecs) welcomed Cort�z as a God 

-the huns were ethnic mongols, and that Attila was born in Mongolia

-Chinggis Khan conquered all of China (or that he was born there)

-Tibet is a historical Chinese region

-the s�mi is an asian people which migrated into Scandinavia from Siberia in the east

-the mongols lost at Liegnitz 1241 and were forced to retreat back to the east

-the american civil war was fought to liberate the slaves

-medieval european cavalry was superiour to any infantry prior to the 100-years war

-the longbow easily defeated armoured men-at-arms 

-People who died during the construction of the great wall of China were buried inside the bricks

Dogs are man's best friend (it's really horses!)

Horses may be my best friend but I'm their worst enemy. God I hate those smelly beasts.

Well, the rich ones did so all of the time, but most of the times when they were discussing about Ethics, Democracy & Philosophy, they were doing it naked, piss-drunk and with a bunch of good looking naked women (and boys) around them...

 

 

dogs were not actively domesticated by humans with intent though, its far more likely they just scavenged around human junk piles and bred in the presence of humans on their own and gradually became more bold around people because of that.

Well all i know is that humans started hunting with dogs in northern Eurasia somewhere about 12-14,000 years ago. Supposidly based on tracing dog genes or something.
Hmm, was an article, maybe i should try digging it up.

Originally posted by Cywr im not too sure what your saying but hitler refuse to shake Jessie Owen's hands after winning a couple gold medals when one of his advisers suggested he do so...hitler was reported to say "you expect me to shake hands with a negro?" No, Hitler only shook people's hands on the first day, after that, he just sat in the stand with the crowd, practicing his stiff wave. He did wave at Jessie, and smiled at him, but didn't specificly refuse to shake his hand, as he wasn't shaking anyone's hand that day. Upon returning to the US after the Olympics, he was however snubbed by Roosevelt. Jessie Owens' autobigraphy should be proof enough. Its one of those things that started as popular myth, but has began to seep into the classrooms of late. Hitler did refuse to shake hands with some non-Germans on the first day, but Jessie Owens was not amoungst them.

Egypt didn't have slaves at all in the Greek/Roman/European/southern US sense. They paid taxes in a way that could be confused with slavery. The average egyptian peasant farmer paid taxes by giving the pharaohs government a portion of his harvest 25% IIRC, and manual labour on public works projects while the nile was in flood. Where he got room and borad and medical care. On his flooded farm lands he would get jack.
