Ping!
They couldn't have thought they were the only ones in the area.... Hell, China's made up of several different ethnic groups. The area is probably a lot like the Tigris and Euphrates river valleys.
that mask looks like Burt from Sesame Street. Hmmm....
Good one, thanks.
I am inclined to agree with you.
Burt is cuter.:-)
The baby is even cuter than Burt. No wonder he is crying. Compared with him, Burt is a brute.:-)
i'm waiting for all them "bert is evil" pics to start showing up. he also resembles OBL.
"then inexplicably vanished, leaving no trace behind in the historical records."
I had a better understanding of this when I had a chance to volunteer in Mongolia for a project. In the rural towns were large soviet style apartments standing empty. When the infrastructure changed, when the Soviets left, there was no one to pay the bills for electricity and heat. You CAN't live in an apartment without those. So everyone moved out to the country and lived in tents. Land was free and the new wealth and living opportunity were cattle and horses.
UlanBatar (sp?) the capital city had more access to international help so the system there kept going. Prior to my being in the capital the electricity had been on only 25-50% of the time.
If the international community had not stepped in to keep things going there was no choice for the residents except to move out to the country. The cities and towns would have been immediately abandoned.
What would happen in the US if the USDA and Bank system closed down tomorrow?
So... not only is Burt evil... but he is an ANCIENT evil...
hmmm...
oh i WON'T go there;-)
oh i WON'T go there;-)
but you should hear what he does to ernie when nobody's around!
Similar to Mayan and Inca art...they will claim the Americas now.
Very high bridges on the noses for Mongoloids, though some Amerind groups have the same.

Great post, thanks.
In shamanistic belief of Siberia, a tree is a bridge connecting earth to spiritual world in the sky.
More proof that Bert is evil?
interesting
