#3 Obviously, those need to be destroyed, at once! As they remind the world that all of turkey (and quite a bit of other territories over the course of turkish aggressions over the centuries) are stricly historically non-muslim lands that were grabbed by force, and then ethnically cleansed of any non-muslims and/or non-turk (last pogroms with muslim mobs forcing greek populations to fly for fear of rape, murder, looting, were... in the mid 1950, nice).

Obviously, this slander can't be allowed. Let's focus on the european colonization, with, say, a special focus on the horrid way AmeriKKKa is actually a stolen land, that ultimately needs to be given back to its noble orginal inhabitants (chavez is working on that, starting with venezuela and south america).

#5 I used to think I understood the Late Bronze Age, then a friend had me read this book which made a fairly conclusive argument that all the timelines are based off of insane, knotted logic-chains drawn with pottery associations and dubious Egyptian dynastic genealogies. There's a serious argument to be made that the Trojan war happened a century-and-a-half after the usual ~1200 BC dating. The short version is, there's a huge damned hole in the pottery records between about a half-century after the Trojan War and before the rise of the Archaic Greek polii, the so-called "Greek Dark Ages". All the claims that Solomonic/Davidian Israel didn't exist or was an abiblical hillbilly association are also based on a similar hole ripped in Palestinian archeology by related Egyptian-driven warps in the pottery record.

So I have to wonder - which pottery dating scheme is Pernicka using - the traditional one, or one of the revisionist schemes?
