I was thinkin' about what little I know about muslims, and it seems in the past (like when they ruled Spain etc) they must have had a different philosophy. They had all sorts of mathematicians, tolerated people of the book, etc.

Does anyone actually know the differences between ancient and medieval muslims or have any sources for me to read? THANKS! :)

What If They Gave a War and Everyone Came

What if they gave a war and everyone came;
Every senator’s son and daughter.
Every senator too and me and you:
Hindu, Buddhist, Christian, Moslem, Jew, in barter.

What if Yale and Harvard went port to starboard,
Sending every scholastic son and daughter.
And “Think Tanks” had to go, committing “who know”
To clean up after the slaughter.
Yes, there’d still be war, but we’d know what for
When we buried our brave sons and daughters.

What is the origin of the word 'classical'? Is it anything to do with 'class'? And why is it applied to these particular societies in preference to older ones such as Minoan Crete and Pharaonic Egypt, to later ones such as the Hellenistic period in Greece, or to more northerly ones such as the La Tene Celtic civilisation?

No Ancient Greek writer ever claimed to know Persian or Lydian or Carthaginian, or in fact any foreign language until Latin, when the Romans were lording it over then - and even then, only for administration, as the Greeks almost completely ignored Latin literature. Very, very little was ever translated from Egyptian or Persian or Babylonian or Carthaginian - the Voyage of Hanno is one of the exceptions that proves the rule. What is more, when Manetho, Berossus and Sanchuniathon wrote books explaining their history and culture (Egyptian, Babylonian, Phoenician respectively) these books have only survived in fragments.
While interested in other cultures, the Greeks didn't want to look through other cultures' eyes. What is the reason for this neglect?
In comparison, for all their own disdainful attitudes, the British started translating Sanskrit texts in the eighteenth century, and throughout the colonial period there was a steady stream of texts and translations.

Someone told me that Pyramid experts were sending a drilling robot to drill though granite in to ante-chambers. One finally drilled a hole after a year of work only to find another thick slab of hard rock ahead. If so why don't they just put lil shaped explosive and find what the goodies in the secret areas ?

Must be interesting stuff if the old Egyptians taken so much precautions to stop ppl getting in.
