China is already playing solo, rejecting any western involvement, thus …http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-pacific-11671516
I think that depends on your definition of “great”. Certainly, there were also significant civilizations in Africa, India, etc. But in regard to the civilizations in the Americas, did they contribute significantly to Western Civilization? Did they build institutions or contribute ideas that were enduring even after their collapse?
Just referring to the concept of “nothing significant happened under the Tropics”. Of course a contribution's view only to the Western civilisation might seem insignificant; therefore let's just forget them ? >:(According to your post, those Mesoamerican and South American civilisations weren't great ? Tell me more.
21) When the “Blessed relief for Mother and the other women in the household!” was used on mac and cheese and Liberty fries
However in Mesoamerica: the Olmec, the Toltec, the Teotihuacano, the Zapotec, the Mixtec, the Aztec, and the Maya; and in South America: Norte Chico or Caral in Peru, and the Andean civilizations: Inca, Moche, Chibcha, and Ca?aris, and also the Mississippian culture of North America, which produced Cahokia (at its peak in AD 1250, the largest city north of Mexico) did develop great civilisations within a tropical environment … ???
Alright, I guess it may be possible to get that hot without actually catching on fire, which was my initial concern. Still, it's kind of strange. The positions of the bodies seems to suggest suffocation to me, rather than intense heat.
Probably because intense heat may produce a lack of available oxygen, and also considering chemical components of that kind of flow.
This nu?e ardente or pyroclastic flow isn't a kind of fireball but more a fast-moving current of extremely hot gas (which can reach temperatures of about 1,000 ?C) and rock, which travel away from the volcano at speeds generally as great as 700 km/h. In Pompei, people didn't burn as if they were in a fire pit but “by intense heat”.http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b0074spx http://www.exponent.com/scalds_burn_injuries/#tab_overview http://ep.physoc.org/content/32/1/67.short About archaeology:http://www.youtube.com/user/360Production#p/u/2/P9ai44gkxAw
Thanks Scout! Got 'em.
Ironically, a good example of “serious damage” by tourism to artworks (just like “I must touch it” even if the area is obviously restricted by a fence) ;D (nothing personal here) 😉
Try that with the Mona Lisa. You'll have to get around the bullet-proof glass somehow, but you can do it! ;D
Try this at home ;D

TMYHO A war isn't won on battlefields only; just like during WWII; if you cut strategical supplies (oil, raw materials, etc) you slowly suffocate the enemy's strength. The major problem with a war against China would be the occupation/control of its territory, just like the current war in Afghanistan: impossible with a limited army force. Infrastructures, communication tools, energy sources, external supplies would be the main targets that should be primarily anihilated before even thinking of a “classical” decisive victory.
