GGG Ping.

In 2003, they uncovered a 25-yard-long barge

How does someone lose a barge?

[lafroste]

the Romans pacified the Batavians,

What a nice euphemism. I wonder if we can "pacify" the muslims.

[Ramius]

Oh, jeez, I hope Jerome Corsi doesn't find out about this.

[Mad Dawg]

Did they find some rusted out Fiats on the shoulder?

""It was used for trade, but it was first and foremost part of a military strategy to guard the border,""

No comment.

Someday, a local Imam will discover a long buried I-95

I wish I could live long enough to see how cities are recorded in the geologic record.

the Romans pacified the Batavians,

That would be another good name for the DUmmies.

[ozzymandus]

They sink. Look up the story of Mussolini draining Lake Cuomo to recover the Roman barges. very interesting.

[HitmanLV]

They don't build them like they used to, ping! ;-)

Strawberry limeade, yum!

Hi Blam. I was woindering if you could answer a question I have wondered about for a long time. Why is it everything from century's ago is under the ground? You know like in Israel you might have the old Jesus time stuff 20 feet down, then below that you have Philistine stuff , then below that some Caveman stuff?Then above the Jesus day stuff a layer some Muslim crap (since they were not first).

Does everything sink then some dust covers it up and the rebuilding happens again? Thanks.

Inquiring minds.

Regards.

"They sink. Look up the story of Mussolini draining Lake Cuomo to recover the Roman barges. very interesting."

There's a pretty good one hour documentary on the barges and even pictures taken when Mussolini salvaged them.

[Popman]

Why is it we never find any Muslim roads, civilizations, great artifacts, except what they conquered from other peoples?

[blam]

"Does everything sink then some dust covers it up and the rebuilding happens again? Thanks."

There are reasons a site for a structure is originally chosen, water, height, defendable and etc. People keep building things on the same site and previous 'stuff'is covered. Sites that are abandoned can become covered by wind blown sand, dirt and dust.

Yup, those old civilizations were lousy housekeepers!
