    you should look into mandelbrot set, julia sets and other fractals.

    Or quantum mechanics on superstrings, D-branes, P-branes, the 10th dimension as well as compact dimensions.

    Or perhaps how the standard economic theory fails to optimize gain in situations such as the prisoner's dilemma, and how the nash equilibrium is not always optimal.
    The beauty of mathematics; the Julia Set.

Basically Rome stopped in France (big surprise lol) and did not continue to venture north because the Germanic tribes constantly opposed the romans and fought them. However, Rome took many slaves from the Germanic tribes. That is the reason the Anglo's and the Saxon's invaded Rome. They were tired of their people being taken as slaves.


    Edit: I forgot to add that by the time the Romans reached northern France, they were also stretched thin as far as the lands they could keep a hold on.
    that makes the movie i saw about Arther make more sence. also thank you for the link i just finnish reading thru it and it explains why my Nordic anseters came accross the contanate the way they did. i got as far back a 6AD russia and lost the trail. sometimes as Clan Cheefs with difrent titals whos fathers or sons were Woodsmen, i didnt get that. but now i do and it makes them even cooler

    Agriculture is very intresting. It was what made the Egyptians so great. Egypt lies in a desert as we all, hopefully, know. It a fine source of water flowing through it, the Nile, it's one of the longest rivers and it is one of the very few that actually flow through a desert. Eyptians used irrigation from the Ocean and the Nile to their farms. At just about Alexander the Great's Time, Egypt was basically a giant farm. It is described from drawing and writings of that time. Alexander described it like that too. All the money he used for his campaigns were from alexandria an extremly rich city that had many "exotic" crops, at that time, so many of the the Greeks bought. Eqypt also had lots of Food to survive the constant droughts.

    a thoght just occord to me if aggraculture played such a big role in devlpoing civalization. what role did local climat play in shapeing the lives and belifes of the people who lived in it?
    take for example the people living in tropical climate reagons. their social structures apper to me to be based on male domanace, patrichiole (srry sp) sociaties where women are second class. while people who settled the harsher climets of the world realized early in there own development that all people need to be equal and need to pull their own weight in sociaty.
    stop and correct me if i'm wrong
    but it appers to me that the harsher the living conditions, the more equal and democratic the social structure was. conversly easy climets led to sloth, greed and oppression.
    i dont think i'm making sence. i dont normaly when i "think out loud" anyway

    Well, if you want one, of many answers to that question, read Guns, Germs and Steel by Jared Diamond, which analyzes how geographic luck determined which civilizations rose to power, and how the Europeans were able to conquer most of the known world, in one way (directly) or another (controlling all trade [Opium War ring a bell?])
