Can a wooden boat like from the 1500s go up a river? My history teacher said that Africa wasn't explored by Europeans until the 1800s because their boats were wooden and wooden boats can't go up a river because the current would push them back.
Thats why they invented the steam engines.
But then how did boats go up a river to go to London and Seville, and other European naval ports, yet not do the same thing in Africa?

So can these boats go up a river?

Revelation is a historical document. It was never meant to be religious. Revelation is the minute entries and history of the war between Rome and Jerusalem. The entries are the actual words of testimony from eye witnesses concerning Jesus/Augustus. One chapter of Revelation tells about the cold-blooded murder of all the children of Jerusalem by Roman soldiers. It was a punishment for their parents for not worshipping Augustus. The children were herded outside the walls of Jerusalem. They were forced between thorny grapevines. They coulks not escape. The soldiers used torches to cause their horses to trample the children. Revelation say thier blood ran as high as the horses bridles.
The horses were controlled by mouth bits made with fire, sulpher and iron. It happened on a moonlite night in a grape orchard outside Jerusalem. The event came to be known as "the wrath of gods (Augustus/Jesus anger".
The Christian religion under Jesus is dead. A new Christ is born.

I found this photo on DA, it shows excellently the goal I want to reach in photographing glass, with the same subject matter.

http://www.deviantart.com/print/638000/

Where did this artist place (a) light source(s), or could you guess or give tips as to where good places are? Especially to get the definition not only on the clear glass, but the opaque glass too.

"In an Yahoo office building, looking westward toward the sea
Theres a Y/A judge a'waiting, an' I know he thinks of me
For he's had his morning latte, and the caffeine seems to say
Come you back, you QA addicts, come you back to me today:
Come you back, bi, straight, and gay,
Pagans,fundies, have your say:
I can hear your keyboards chunkin' clear from Berkeley 'cross the bay
So eat, sleep, and breathe QA
Where both trolls and genius stray
But I'll take your your fecking points off if you break my rules. Good day!"
