Participatory democracy at its finest.

It involved horses and 150 casualties out of a few thousand people?
At first, I thought it might have been my ancestors having a family reunion, but there would have been more casualties.

There weren’t big wars back then? Some researchers. Try cruising through the Vedas sometime. Gilgamesh. Lol! There have been big wars as long as there have been large populations.

Lots of wars in that era.

Well, my guess is football.
“Vikings!”
“Raiders!”
“Vikings!”
“Raiders!”
“Niners!”
“Oh.....the French are here.”

“A word to the wise:...This is what happens when the new kids in town try to make beer illegal.”
...or when the GOPe try to deny Trump the nomination, despite him winning enough delegates.

The battle stretched over a couple of kilometres, only a small portion of the battlefield has been excavated.
To: dp0622
Punany, just like Ted and Heidi tonight. ;-) The BC battle was less brutal. Spilled the beans indeed. OUCH.
To: Rebelbase
Sign me up. I can brew the beer and even cook the food. Bring the women. ;-)
