Archaeology of the Ancient World

So what is the difference between a city-state and a kingdom when a city-state can be a kingdom then why have a kingdom and not a city-state?

Were the Sumerian city-states kingdoms or not?

You are not an A+ student if we say so.....

My grades beg to differ!

So we all shall assume that this is a "fact" based on hearsay....... where is the proof, backing your argument?

Just read a bit of Demosthenes to get the overall picture.

archaic pool of Greek speakers...... what does that mean?
of Greek stock....... define this in an ancient context.
Hellenized.... could you define this as well.

What are we splitting hairs here?

Greek speakers, you know! Part of the Indo-European branch of speakers.

Cleopatra of Egypt: from History to Myth

http://www.britishmuseum.org/explore/online_tours/egypt/cleopatra_history_to_myth/cleopatra_of_egypt_from_histo.aspx

Fabled for her sexual allure and cunning intelligence, Cleopatra VII of Egypt has fascinated generations of admirers and detractors since her life ended in suicide in 30 BC. This intriguing exhibition at The British Museum focused on Cleopatra, last of the Ptolemaic monarchs, Macedonian Greeks who had ruled Egypt since the death of Alexander the Great in 323 BC. The exhibition traced Cleopatra's life as queen of Egypt and her liaisons with the two great Roman leaders of the day, Julius Caesar and Mark Antony. The myth and iconic status of Cleopatra is also examined, largely through the representation of the queen in European art from the Renaissance to today.

Why is everybody staying off topic?

Can none of you addrees the links that I've posted?

Do the Metropitan Museum of Art, the Louvre, the British Museum have ulterior motives?

I'd love some feedback!

Your mission here is to taunt and not to teach.

Why would I be banned?

What forum rules have I broken?

I don't want to get banned! I don't understand what exactly would warrant a banning! But if you say so, then please let me know how I should conduct myself here! I'm being serious, NOT sarcastic!

You know what's funny?! I was banned on Maknews for this same shit!

For posting links to the Louvre, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the British Museum???

Is posting links to the Louvre, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the British Museum grounds for being banned?

If they are, then let me know!

If I'm being a little arrogant, then let me know too! I will definitely tone it down! But don't ban me simply because I post links to highly esteemed museums!

[afterhours]

Btw, not a single soul here has attempted to challenge my links....why?

Is that grounds for being banned? Just curious!
