2,000-year-old 6ft 6ins warrior giant discovered

The remains of an enormous warrior who fought more than 2,000 years ago have been found in Kazakhstan.

The soldier was heavily armed and stood around 6ft 6ins tall.

Archaeologists believe he was well-built and revered by people who buried him with his weapons.

The BBC says the warrior lived around the first century BC.

Historians say this may lead them to re-examine the origins of the region's people.

I might as well say openly what I mean. Fish is the symbol of Christianity and as such was tabooed to these ultra-Muslims. They were drowning for want of Christianity, just as their children were perishing for want of fish in their diets, remember Christianity and Judaism have commanded to eat fish and dairy no matter how far away from sources of such one might be, in part as spiritual symbol... but in part because of necessary nutrients...

Remember Jesus first words after his resurrection, when you would have thought he would tell them all about life aften death, etc, but what does he say [turn spiritual receptors on please] "CHILDREN, HAVE YOU ANY FISH?"

You must have a LOT of fun during your off time.

[Wm Bach]

You didn't...you know...kick him...(there) did you?

That would be mean.

[Xenalyte]

Actually, the pigmonkey popped me in the jaw right after I assumed the Flying Crane, so I didn't get to kick him anywhere. Dammit.

[Wm Bach]

Then he was no gentleman. Certainly an ungentlemanly pig monkey.

Just some friendly advice from an armchair Xenophile, Next time, instead of a crane, try a duck, as in "DUCK!" :^)

Wow. Very interesting.

I'd think that Goliath would have been buried in disgrace. He choked like the 2004 Yankees in the eyes of the Philistines, except worse since the Red Sox were known to be a good team.

regarding the reply to which this is posted:

The "Pyramid" of Hellenikon
Hellenic Ministry of Culture

"According to evidence from the excavations and the typical features of the structure which dates to the end of the 4th century B.C. and not to the prehistoric period, as some scientists have been recently willing to demonstrate."

In other words, to the surprise of very few, thee Hellenikon pyramid isn't older than the Giza pyramids. :')
