Well start rewriting your history London to chronicle the Muslim conquest. And then all this past history will seem like quaint fairy tales of a bygone era.

I once read part of a letter a Roman soldier wrote home from Britain. I think it was posted here on FR.

Anyway the translation was something like you might expect of a kid at Summer camp. The weather here is awful. Could you send me some new shoes? Could you spare some money?

A larger number of wooden tablets has been found at Vindolanda near Hadrian’s Wall, dating from the late first century and early second century A.D. Perhaps the newly-discovered tablets are slightly older.

Common sense isn’t.

It’s lucky someone noticed these weren’t just some random pieces of wood.

An archaeological dig in Hillary`s basement has turned up the earliest known Clinton handwritten documents: “Some 410 wooden tablets have been discovered, 87 of which have been deciphered to reveal names of Bill`s mistresses, staged events, crooked business and illegal dealings and evidence of someone practising writing the government alphabet and numeral codes on an unauthorized private tablet.
