ITNESI History Thread

How insulting! Athens was never my capital it was Thebes!
 
Andis, that's because the map das originally used had a terrible Euphrates. If you have complaints, direct them to das so he can fiddle with it. :p

Armorica the beauuutiful, god spread his grace on theee.
And crown thy good with brotherhood, from sea to shining riverrr!!

I've noticed that Armorica has the most concentrated EC's out of any nation.

weren't they trade centres back then.
 
Not at all. They're shades. Trade Centers were a blatant ripoff of my idea (which, admittedly, was a ripoff of EU); ECs were an evolution of my idea.

Ja NK is right, Trade centre is....a centre of trade:p .

An economic centre can be a centre of trade or maybe an important industrial centre, probably somthing else too.
 
I must complain that the barbs in the Carribean are completely and totally innacurate. The Caribs lived in the Lesser Antilles upon Columbus reaching the Americas, and it is now concidered highly possible that for most of history the Caribs lived in S. America. What should be shown are the Taíno.

PFFFT, this is coming from a guy who put the Mound builders on the Atlantic Coast of Virginia and the Carolinas:p

If you have to look at it that way, the Mediterranean is utterly inaccurate too, there is a Carthaginian Empire and so forth. :p As it isn't the real world, your petty complaints don't apply, so up yours! :p

The Mound Builders did extend out to their Swiss

Their extent - like the extent of Caribs - is highly uncertain. Returning to our Caribs, the Dorling Kinderley-published atlas I was using for this sort of stuff had Greater Antilles as Carib in the last few centuries BC, and replaced them with Arawaks in circa 750 AD. That does sound a bit absurd, but possibly represents the gradual fracturing of a general Carib ethnos into subethnoses (compare Slavs and their eventual division into South, West and East, and the subsequent divisions there). In any case, don't complain to me, complain to General Editor Jeremy Black. :p
 
Yes, it is true that the exten of the Moundbuilders uis debatable. However, mounds as well as artifacts associated with the Moundbuilder culture and the Moundbuilder trade routes have been found in the Carolinian and Virginian coasts.

Hmm, there seem to be a number of problems with that atlas of yours. I guess I must go buy one now so I can legitamately send a complaint letter to that editor....
