Reply to comment by aaronupright in Might be a stupid question, but I've been watching a lot of stuff regarding the Spartan and Persians recently and I always wondered how would these people have communicated back then? Were there specific scholars in both countries that were trained in various languages? by herewego199209
Yep, because english is all you need in the west. Learning anither language is extra work.

Depends on what you mean by answer and meaning. It can definately help people find meaning and peace in situations they didn't have otherwise.

You've got it the wrong way round - nations are poorest (partly) because they are most often ravaged by natural diasters. Civiliations with temperate and predictable weather patterns have a big advantage.

Damn. Really awesome post, thanks for the work that went in to this. I hope you have other outlets in which to post your work - I'd hate that it'd go underappreciated.

So Ligaments dont strengthen at all? Rock climbers talk much about finger tendons getting stronger through climbing and training hangboarding. Pro climbers can hang and pull on one finger - I certainly can't.
What is happening there?

I would read a book that stays away from the major events to start with. In my opinion, the omnibuses are the perfect place to start, s they represent some of the best writing in short form and they cover a breadth of the setting.
