I saw a glimpse of a trailer for a sequel for Shazam the other day, so it should be coming out soon (next few months?).
Saw on YouTube recently My Man Friday with William Powell and Carole Lombard...
Yet more boys commit suicide than girls.
For 40 years, boys had significantly more suicides than girls, but apparently nobody cared. Only when girls started to catch up is anybody showing...
You have multiple opportunities to demonstrate somebody else using the term "rhodian catapult" but failed to do so. Demonstrate that somebody else is using the term "rhodian catapult" and I will...
We have found a number of apocryphal gospels, and everyone of them, when compared to the 4 canonical gospels, are inferior in terms of historicity. Most of them were clearly written later, and all...
In the classical world, maybe, but the phalanx warfare require a certain degree of training to be successful. In other places and times soldiers could be typically younger. Edward the Black Prince...
No, it is you who missed my point. You invented a term "rhodian catapult" and you really should not be surprised that people did not know what a term you invented meant, especially when the known...
I came across this old thread and there are recent developments that I think have a bearing on the topic
The Koreans recently completed a 4 reactor, 5380 MW nuclear power plant complex in...
Many of the Catholic doctrines have no biblical basis. And simply because a book happens to express a an established Catholic doctrine doesn't mean that book is anly less a forgery.

[/I]Vegetius point wasn't that armor wasn't available, but that the solider just didn't want to wear it. Like in modern combat, where soldiers wanted to take off their helmets because it was hot,...

When I do a Google search on repeating catapults or ballista, I don't see anyone that uses the term "rhodian catapult".
Can you provide an example where the term "rhodian catapult"...
Armor and helmets can be uncomfortable to wear. A person, who thinks the risk of getting hit on the head low enough, might choose not to wear a helmet. Getting heat stroke due to wearing a hot...
I have never heard of the polybolos being referred to as the Rhodesian catapult before. The polybolos is a form of ballista in terms of modern usage. Today we tend to restrict usage of "catapult"...
It is an important milestone, but it is only a step in the process to make fusion a viable means of producing power. More energy was produced than was the lasers or magnetic fields to generate the...
I agree that Roman victory came initially through superior political and military organization.
But a factor, which might be related to economy, was the Roman ability to recover defeats. ...
Looking at Chinese images of crossbowmen, I realized something I had not noticed before, that the Song dynasty crossbows were quite a bit different in design from the Han dynasty crossbows. I knew...
Very well put. Helion is simply not in the same category as Theranos, or Enron, his approach seems fundamentally sound. And I liked how he explained why the approach Helion is using wouldn't have...
We don't know if it will work. But the American NIF and ITER methods have not worked either, and and many decades and billions of dollarshave been spent on those methods.
Since the traditional...
What is nice about the Helion approach is that it not trying the same old methods. They are thinking outside the box. Maybe it will work, maybe not, but it is at least worth trying. The...
I went back to listen to Haegan's testimony and I mist admit I was wrong. I completely misremembered her testimony, and found I was reacting not what she said, but what others said
Her points...
The bad decisions made by our ancestors can affect current generations. Even though slavery is long gone, we in the US are still living in the after effects of slavery.
Likewise, the actions of...
Unlike the mainstream media, the Facebook does not create the content it portrays. The mainstream media does create their content. And I don't see the algorithms deliberately pushing a particular...
I do not see why Facebook is promoting any particular views, it is merely a platform that people can post
It is the mainstream media, with its editors and editorial decisions that promote a...
We don't know that. We do not know what the biological effects of low gravity are. We don't know for certain why the Mars atmospheric presdure is so low, if it lost a demser atmosphere, was it only...
We know what the long term effects of zero gravity, we had men in space for a year We have no idea what the long term of low gravity are (Mars or Moon)
Can you give a hint?
Yes you are denying it. You are denying that Turks had nothing to do with the massacres. All you are willing to acknowledge is that deaths took place.
What difference that the deaths took place...
Correct.
There was no corresponding Phoenician letter for psi either, which undermines your theory. The inventer of Greek alphabet created letters when there were no Phoenician letters to assign to.

While Trump may be scum, there were a lot of others who did not handle covid any better. State governors were free to ignore Trump and enact their own actions and mandates, and in fact did so. Yet...
You claim that Greek vowels were just an accident is, frankly unconvincing. Omicron sounds nothing like ayin, and the the fact that ayin was often associated with an omicron like vowel merely...
So Turkey is not denying massacres of Armenians took place and it was deliberate. So what is Turkey objecting to?
* The number of Armenians killed? That it was only 500,000 and not 1 mullion? ...
And what happened about Fauci trying to get people wearing two mask? What science td him that wearing 2 mask would solve the COVID problem? And when he saw people were ignoring his 2 masks, why did...
Some of us remember when Dr. Fauci himself was discouraging people from wearing mask as unnecessary. That he changed his mind it was political expedient does not alter the fact. Note, South Korea...
No interest in guessing after 1 month.

The Partition of the Ottoman empire? It could be French colonial troops marching in to take possession of one of the French mandates? The officers look like they could be French.
If the Paleohispanic scripts contain vowels, they were influenced by the Greek alphabet, since the Phoenecian scripts did not have vowels.
The paleohispanic scripts do contain vowel sounds, which...
Its been a month and no one seems interested in guessing the answer. I'll give it a little longer, then give the answer and open it up to whoever wants to post.
Facts are facts, and the fact is that the majority of Muslims accept the authority of the authentic hadith like Sahih al-Bukhari and reject your Quran only view of Islam.
