Didn't someone find a copper sword or something in the Red Sea? Pretty sure that counts as evidence.

...does it? It's not as though swords were particularly rare, and neither would they be too easy to find the origin of nowadays.

speaking as a marine archaeologist in training that could have gotten their about a million different ways and have gotten there anywhere from old kingdom Egypt to Ptolemaic Egypt or beyond. the red sea was a major trade corridor and i could imagine may different scenarios for that i would believe before the bible story and I'm a christian! best way to determine age would probably be measuring concretion or comparing styles with already dated examples. a sample of copper could be traced to mines in Sinai or other copper producing regions. that kind of stuff is well documented.

did i ramble a bit? sorry. i like this kind of stuff a lot.

It's more of an "all explosive things go here" group but it had the effect that the punishment for using hand grenades against people was not worse than mishandling of fireworks. Which allegedly is part of the reason why Swedish gangs have developed the habit of lobbing grenades at each other rather than using guns - the sentences are much shorter. Turns out that while grenades are super good at scaring common people they aren't actually that good for targeting individuals the way guns are, so most of the grenade incidents have been without casualties, though. But it became a big enough problem for the government to eventually go "duuuuurr... Moibbe we shodd treat grenoids liek any otha weppin" and change the laws.

you can throw grenades at people in Sweden and get a misdomener?

It's not about the roads, it just doesn't seem very engaging or groundbreaking. It starts super slow; you can barely do anything at the beginning of the game and you've got a miniscule area to work with. The gameplay seems to be a direct knockoff of SimCity. There's unnecessary gaps between blocks of zones because they won't mesh together if their connected roads are at even a slightly different angle.

But the biggest issue is that flabort mislead me about about the gameplay implying that non-utility buildings could be directly placed and that utility buildings could develop from zones. So I was really disappointed when it became apparent that it didn't work like that.

I'm not sure what you mean by small area the area is huge you just have to unlock and by the zones or download the mod that does it immediately. the building thing sounds completely bonkers thought that's not how it works. and it doesn't have to be amazing and groundbreaking its a city builder people just wanted a good city builder that didn't have all the bullshit of simcity.

o joy looks like its the monthly mass shooting! how long before "should have all had guns" and depressed Obama speech time.

Saudi authorities not to blame for tragedy: "All complaints should be addressed to God."

So, in other words, that priest is saying that it's not his/the religion's fault that so many people died attending something to do with the religion, but it's fate and therefore nothing can be done?

Well that's stupid. Another case of religion trying to hold back advancement (in this case, safety,) though mainly just so they can save face.

that has nothing to do with religion at all, just people not wanting to take blame and face consequences for their ineptitude by shifting blame. in other words everyone ever. welcome to humanity.

got a video of his speech. i haven't listened to it yet but apparently is really good.
