In Cairo
 

CAIRO

Hello, everyone. This is my hangout thread. I guess I will start by explaining a few things.

This thread is named In Cairo because, as you can see, I love Egypt. More so, I love Ancient History of almost any kind. *Thanks alot, Thorn. <rolls eyes> I swear, that girl can convert me to almost anything.* Anyway...This is a hang out thread, and not necessarily a history discussion thread. But if you want to discuss history, you can. Now, about myself:

~I am a 16 year old female.
~I love history*, singing, writing, and boys.
~I am LDS (Latter Day Saint, otherwise known as Mormon)
~I like neon colors.
~I like manatees and elephants.
~Oh, and I am a Type A personality. I like things to be perfect. Like, I dont like to write in pen in case I mess up and I always have to have things spelled right, and I don't like things crooked or uneven. Things like that. *Nothing to worry about in chats, though. It's mainly at school that I'm OCD.*

*The history that I like includes: Egyptian, Mayan, Incan, Aztecan, Omec, Native American, Mythology of any kind (Greek, Roman, Scandanavian, Chinese, Japanese, etc.), 17/1800's (with the fancy dresses and the balls. Like Pride and Prejudice). I guess alot of it is the ones with the heiroglyphics and cave paintings and all that. Oh, and Stone Hedge (Henge? Major Brain Cramp)

Okay, now for some rules, just in case.

RULES

• Follow TOS
• Respect others
• Have fun

I reserve the right to ban anyone who ends up being more of a nuisance than we would like.

Okay, now...I now declare this thread OPEN!

Hello, Green. How are you?

I just thought I'd start a thread for all those history buffs out there. Or maybe just people who want to talk. So....yeah.

Finally a history thread. I have a friend who refers everything that he says to egypt and it turned me off for awhile but since I haven't seen him in a while I'm better. I also like greek mythology.

Yes, I love any type of mythology. From Greek, to Roman, Norwegian, Chinese, a tiny bit of Japanese... Any type of history that is not the history of America, (unless you count Native American. I love them too). I just find it annoying to study the history of America.

I know a girl named Athena. I really don't like her.

Anyway. It's nothing against you. I'm quite fond of the name Persephone, myself.

*chuckles to self.* I'm Norwegian, and I was just thinking over Norwegian Myths, and I don't really think any of those names would work for a normal person. Audumbla (or something like that) is one of the female names. I believe that is the goddess of ice cream. She takes the form of a cow. Or maybe its something else. I can't remember what teh goddess of Ice cream's name was. Maybe Audumbla was teh goddess of love. Ack, I can't think right now. I'll go look in my book of knowledge later.

Good Suzhi mix

The only Australia one I know is the bunyip and you can't really name some "Bunyip".
I agree Tut'ankhamun that American history isn't that interesting. No offense to Americans.

I agree with that Green. Americans aren't bad people just there history is boring.
Where in America are you from?

@Suzhi - Unfortunately not. I want to see it in its glory all those thousands of years ago.

that is true.. native american history is amazing.. too bad most of it was in oral stories, and what not, rather than written..

Don't get me wrong I love the history of Native Americans it is some of the most interesting history to study.

yeah.. every time we hear about how the whites came and killed all the indians, it makes me sad.. partly because of the people who died, but also because of the lost culture..

I feel even more sad because I am white. And it disgust me that I am part of a kind that eliminates threats just for land or for the hell of it. Especially since I admire alot of the past cultures.

Wow that is some history in your family.
I'm related to Mary Queen of Scots, the one that got beheaded. Even though she didn't have children her brothers and sisters did. That's on my great grandfathers side. On my great grandmothers side her grand father and family were escapees from germany and changed their name because of the first world war so it is very hard to track back her side. Virtually impossible.

ooh, everyone has interesting heritage. i love stuff like this.. 2 weeks ago, i found out i was related to my friend, cause she was related to gorm den gamle..
german escapees, or jewish? (if you dont mind me asking)

They were german convicts actually.
