So, the NeXT transit of Venus is June 5 - June 6 2012. Where have I seen June 5-6 before?

Anyway, during the year 2003 there was a lot of talk about the upcoming transit of Venus (2004), and of course the next Iraq war.

So I decided to look back at the big news stories from the Islamic world from the previous transit (of Venus).

1884 - 1892 were the last transit dates and look here, England occupies Egypt in 1882! They viewed Egypt as a failed state and were going to bring them into the modern world and... and never mind.

Oh yeah! June 5-10 1067, the Six Day War. Oy!

Buckle up cause the ride just gets wilder!
