Dis might be offensive, Rainbowshy-kun ~_~

That said, there's the exact same picture except for Japan...and a similar picture except with Japan, America, and Germany. ~-~

Uhh...The Swedes are on the right side. What you have on the left is an Anglo-Saxon. Cultural diversity and evolution is what happened I believe.

I kinda think it's funny how the Brits take pride in calling themselves Anglo-Saxons. The Angles and Saxons were two Germanic tribes who occupied Britain over a thousand years ago. So basically the English people admit to being descendants of ancient Germans. What kind of a national pride is that?

Crazy Swedes/Hey Sweden!

It wasn't just The Anglo-Saxons that helped colonize Britain. The others were the Picts, Scots, Jutes and the Ivtis. These invaders eventually intermingled with the native tribes of Britain, thus Britain at that time was a mixing pot of many Germanic and Celtic peoples. Since my dad is of British origins there is no doubt that I have all this running through my veins. I am one big living medieval mess

Well, Freddy, if you go back far enough, we're *all* descendants of Africans, you know. :p

[TheouAegis]

Which means they haven't evolved much themselves after all these millenniums? Or did Africans look much different than they do now? I'm sure there must be some scientific hard evidence to it, but it sounds to me more like one side was trying to aggrandize blacks while at the same time someone else interpreted the endeavor as degrading blacks, or vice-versa. "Yeah, blacks are the ancestors of us all; we were all once black, so respect them and love them like you should love your grandparents!" And on the other side, "We were descended from blacks and as you can see they clearly have not evolved much."  Were Africans even black back then? What proof do we have that Africans didn't look Asian in skin tone many millenniums ago?

And isn't the plural of millennium millennia? My spellchecker says no.


That video clip made me laugh.  It reminded me of the Swedish Chef arguments (how he has a German or Dutch accent or something).

Not all of us. The Asian peoples are rumored to have descended from Lemuria when it went under. And the Atlantians were a very Nordic-looking race whom were scattered all over the earth when their continent went under. This is of course hypothetical as we have yet to obtain any solid evidence but it seems more likely the case as all the ancient peoples have their oral traditions passed down throughout the ages, and evidence is slowly coming to light. It is through Darwinism that we descended from the apes. It is through Christian teachings that we descended from Adam and Eve. It is through UFOlogists and conspiracy theorists that three main types of Humanity populated the Earth many millennia ago, long before recorded history starting with Lemuria then Atlantis. Which one is correct? We just have to keep digging to find out.

The Old Ones bred and raised us as fodder before war forced them below ground and below the sea, making room for Man to flourish uneaten.

Yeah i took world history classes, several of them actually. From memory i do recall vikings and barbarians of the old world in teh days of anglo's and saxons were thwarted and held off many times. But eventually they broke through. So any one who actually thinks they are straight up Brits,Scots, or Irish are actually scandanavian too. Also if you are british and scots from what i remembre you may also have some roman in you. They conquered or at least attempted at one point to whipe out the druids living in the area. I dont think they landed in ireland, or at least didn't conquer it. So yeah alot of intermingling you could say.  I woudlnt' say i could tell you at what periods these happened. But yeah they did at one point. Also one of my professors said this , and i personally don't know if this is true so don't quote me on it, but people with red hair is actually not an irish trait but actually a scandanavian one. Also one thing is very uncertain as i've ever read through history or watched documentaries. The earth seems to have had many stages. I went to a museum in North Carolina and i watched a documentary on it. It was crazy, i think in one of the stage indonesia and europe were connected, in another one i think south amrerican and asia or soemthing. I honestly can't remember exactly how they looked. BUt none of the continents looked as they do know plus their was at point in time way more land and way less water. Yeah the NC museum wass impressive. They had sloths at one point in time bigger than T-rex's i shit you not. The planet was definetly differnt at one point in time. One thing i do remeber looking at the maps is oddly enough in several of them i recall australia was surrounded by basins of water. This may infact explain why so many differnt creatures appear their and no where else included most of the worlds' most venomous snakes. Yeah man history can be pretty interesting. I usually take notes of strange stuff like that. I am not even sure how accurate my memory serves me on this latest tid bit, but it is impressive non the less.

[TheouAegis]

And now they're saying T-Rex might have had soft downy feathers like a baby chick. ... I think that last phrase was redundant.

Hey.  I was just watching AMC when I noticed the guy in the OP pic is from King Arthur.

Yep, that's where he's from. Unfortunately the actor's character doesn't have a aforementioned name in the movie.
