And since when does the holocaust only refer to one event in history? Holocaust means: A burning by fire, a conflagration, an offering to the gods. Does this mean all those jews were being offered to God?

I'm just curious what other people think on this claim. I'm currnetly studying King Arthur and I just wanted other people's feedback on it. Do you think Cadbury Castle, which is 11 miles south of Glastonbury, is Camelot? Do you think the mysterious Glastonbury Tor could of possibly been Avalon?

It NEVER gives credit to Chinese inventions for example. When they glorify ancient civilizations...is always the romans and greeks. The Chinese was way more advanced during that time and way more powerful. Did you know that they already invented the piston?

History Channel always talk about about WWII or the middle ages in Europe. They never talk about middle ages anywhere in Africa! Or in Asia. They always talk about war from OUR point of view. They don't step out and see it from the others.

I want to learn about Bhutan. I want to learn about the boxer rebellion. I want to learn about king leopold which massacre millions of south africans. These topics are never covered.

Could someone explain to me why the History Channel is soOoOoOOoOoo biased?

you know:
"If it wasn't for us you'd be speaking German right now" kind of comments..

How do you think the war would have played out if it were JUST the US and Nazi Germany going toe-to-toe in '39??

I have 2 postcards, one of the Uffington White Horse and one of Oxford University buildings. I can find no biographical reference to Major Allen except that he may have died before 1940. There are references on-line to his archaeological work and contributions to the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford but nothing further.
