This looks very interesting R/S. It is kind of a chicken and egg argument so far and I'm not sure that I'm buying it. For warfare to have "caused" civilization seems to put the cart before the horse because you need agriculture and agricultural surplus before you can have a stratification of society into a warrior class.

I'll have to see how they deal with this enigma (if they do) when I have time to watch the whole thing.

Thanks for posting it, though.
Something is wrong here. War, disease, death, destruction, hunger, filth, poverty, torture, crime, corruption, and the Ice Capades. Something is definitely wrong. This is not good work. If this is the best God can do, I am not impressed.

It was a rather pointless effort to tie Egypt to Peru.


Didn't work.
