gudo Posted July 23, 2012 Report Share Posted July 23, 2012 Somewhat off topic, while the Byzantines certainly carried the proverbial Roman torch, they certainly didn't illuminate the world. Edward Gibbon said in the 3rd volume of his The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire:In the revolution of ten centuries, not a single discovery was made to exalt the dignity or promote the happiness of mankind. Not a single idea had been added to the speculative systems of antiquity, and a succession of patient disciples became in their turn the dogmatic teachers of the next servile generation.It wasn't for a few centuries, when Muslim scholars translated and transmitted old Greek and Roman works back into europe that the lights began to come back on. There's a reason why we use "Arabic" numerals and don't call algebra by it's Greek name. Did you know that two thirds of named stars have Arabic names? Of course, the other foot has since fallen on the Muslim world, and they've yet to recover. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oddchild Posted July 25, 2012 Report Share Posted July 25, 2012 AbdelMuhamar fine, we must have a conceptual art about your proposition, can you draw some layouts for reference? or get someting like that?Although I really found the lady's voice in this annoying http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CE-F2tybkDQI don't tend to agree entirely with the documentary but it would substantiate what he was saying.

Germanic_celt79 Posted November 6, 2014 Report Share Posted November 6, 2014 I know this topic is old and I am unaware of any updates to it. However, I would just like to make a contribution by giving a link to an image of a Gallic longhouse. http://media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/originals/15/58/ad/1558ad2004fb9139bf10378b44da66d4.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
