How Come Black People Have Yellow Eyes

MIGRATION - E tui, sesi de chine? 3


Sardinia as the crossroads of the Mediterranean peoples. Not a slogan from modern tourism, but the "reality" of ancient myth, as we shall see.
We mentioned to the natives, from who knows where. Original inhabitants of Sardinia, or perhaps generic label to indicate "who was already telling the story of a new migration."
Today we start naming names and surnames, although only of peoples and, yet, of heroes. Or maybe yes. In
rigid geographical completely random, we'll talk about immigration that reached the Sardinia from north.

Pliny the Elder tells us that the most famous people of the Sardinia (excluding Roman Punic and Phoenician settlers) were the Ilies, the Balari and courses. And from this side.

The island of Corsica is not very far from Sardinia. On the contrary: there is practically attacked. Corsica was named by its inhabitants (the ligues, Pausanias tells us), while the Greeks called Cirne. For Paul Deacon (historic eighth century AD) was named Corsica Corso, one of his captains, while Sardinia by a son of Hercules.
The fact is that (yet Pausanias dixit) of the courses moved to Sardinia and occupied a portion of the island mountains. It is unclear why the author says that these immigrants received by the natives as Course: Not if they are brought home by themselves?

ligues But who were these? The name is greek for a people which the Romans called Ligures, the Ligurian, settled on the shores of the Ligurian Sea in an area that from Liguria (vivid imagination!) Reaching up to the Rhone. Even today we have been discussing whether a pre-Indo-European population, or rather akin to the Celts and Umbria.
Diodorus, another tipaccio we have already known and often end up on this post, tells us that the merchants were the Ligurian sailors bold. On boats, according to the Sicilians, were worse and a raft of boats that had almost nothing to address in the storms of the amazing Sea of \u200b\u200bSardinia and that of Libya.
Zonaras, a medieval Byzantine historian, tells us that during the uprising against the Romans in Sardinia, in addition to courses rose several times even the Ligurian.
At this point we have to imagine that, despite the poor boats, the Ligurian had allocated in Sardinia. The logic is: if you sailed to Libya, Sardinia was a staging point forced between their points of departure and arrival. If we had called to Corsica, perhaps those descended from their courses migrated to Sardinia. In the narrative of the revolt
Zonaras gives us one of the most tragic pages of Sardinian history: as the Roman raids did not get almost nothing because the rebels were hiding in forests and caves, the Roman general Pomponio was made to send sniffer dogs from Rome. Equipped with these "weapons" the Romans managed to track down opponents, killing many and forcing the survivors to surrender.

So far these two peoples.
But a legendary name in there we can already give this post: is that of Force, one of the "Old Sea" of Greek mythology, along with ocean, to Nereus and Proteus.
second serves, in what a follower of Evemero, King of Corsica and Sardinia was once just Force. We do not know if Servius meant that both islands were united, or simply that Forco was the king of the courses allocated on both sides of the Strait of Bonifacio. However
Forco Atlas faced in battle and his army was a disaster. The king of course it was defeated at sea and on land.
Now Forco disappeared, and his friends thought it was now a sea goddess.

become a king god: not bad for a people whom the Romans (quoting a great poet and singer, he immigrated to Liguria Sardinia) hunted game like it was!

Shower Rods Over 72 Inches

Focus on: ROCKIN 'ROADS!


I knew he disappeared for two months! I'm just an idiot!
It 'still a sweet return, since I am here to introduce my new work: it is called ROCKIN' ROADS is designed by Giulio Argan and exit at Lucca for this year's Tunué.
The graphic novel is about this boy named David - but by all NoDave called because of its extreme intransigence, character and music - that leaves behind a troubled past and moved to Rome, where a university student does not combine much. He joined the metal band Deconstruction, however, playing the guitar and live a beautiful love story with Another musician, Antonella.
Life seems to throw into the breach, and all things seem directed toward a single goal: the creation of his most important dreams. That is, until
from the past that - basically - he has never been abandoned and whose shadow is projected onto any of its choice does not make his return to Tea, the person who, years earlier, had marked his life, for better or for worse , making him what he is now.
This sudden and unexpected return has devastating effects on the lives of NoDave and paradoxically, those that orbit in a distorted sort of domino effect.

This presentation:
Rockin 'Roads talk about rock music, choices, the desire to realize their dreams, but also the importance that can have its own past in making some decisions and the courage of not being influenced by it. In the background, lots of references to rock music and heavy metal, as a heartfelt tribute to this genre and this movement. The book is aimed at those who love the graphic novel introspective, as well as - of course - who is fond of the various branches of extreme rock.

Menstral Cramping At 40 Weeks

MIGRATION - E tui, sesi de chine? 2



We told you that the Sardinians were a bit of myth 'from every corner of the Mediterranean. A small correction, however, requires: someone who came from nowhere, there was already the first of all. Maybe
ticked off the ground like a tree bent by the mistral wind.

Pausanias, the second tourist in history (the first was his majesty the sparaballe Herodotus, of course) tells us that in Sardinia there were some natives: they were the first inhabitants of the island of Libyan, Phoenician, Geci and whatever ' others came later. And they were different from them.
say that Pausanias rather than say what they were and what they knew to do, speaks in the negative. That is, he says he does not know what name the natives had given Sardinia. Who could not build cities, but lived as happened in caves and hovels. That Libi (Pausanias to the first "new arrivals" on the island) do not drive them out. That the natives did not like the Libi but they were too weak to be able to reject them.
And finally: The Indigenous were subjected to a new invasion from some of the inhabitants of Corsica. Were themselves (the natives) to call the newcomers Courses: These were one of the three major lineages sardines legendary (and historical) together with Balari and unharmed. The

Diodorus Siculus adds little to the history of Indigenous Peoples. Maybe talking about them mixed with the Libyans arrived later, we do not know. It tells us, however, that Iolaus, the nephew of Heracles and mythical conqueror of Sardinia at the helm of his cousins \u200b\u200bTespiadi, defeated them in battle, and he divided the island among his proteges. Another note
spread is given when speaking of the revolt of the Libyans (African, Libi not the immigrants in Sardinia) against Carthage: it says that the natives of the island tried to take advantage of the revolt to free themselves from the Phoenicians.
are the same Indians in Pausanias tells us? O inhabitants of Sardinia are generally the Carthaginians, who were not? From the limited information of Diodorus we can not solve the riddle. However, the Nationalists resign islanders: the Carthaginians defeated the rebels soon in Africa and then reoccupied Sardinia.

End of news on Indigenous Peoples.
Some 'little, sure. Little news and lots of doubts.
Who were the natives? They were native-born spontaneously from Mother Earth? Or is it simply a definition of convenience to indicate a mythical people before the invasion? Or, better yet, the people who were on the island before the invasion is told that from time to time?
The mystery remains.
What is certain that, in a fairly typical, the residents receive "outside" civilization (build cities, for example). And who's first is subject to those arriving later.
and Sardinia, "after", it came very much. A small note


thank prof. Ugas for providing me with the classical sources that is the subject of mythical colonization of Sardinia. And 'obviously clear that everything appearing in these posts is exclusively the result of my interpretations (and my evil).

Earring To Match Champagne Dress

MIGRATION - E tui, sesi de chine? 1


There are ancient myths, are modern myths. The first stems from the stories of fathers, the latter sometimes in some scientific discovery.
Thus, reinforcing the myth of the isolation of island inhabitants of the island of Sardinia, from time to time check out our territory in which there are genetically homogeneous areas, buildings and old. Great to make us a mapping of DNA.

In short, the Sardinians are also genetically different from others. Speaking as an ancient myth, we could say that we are indigenous, born from the Earth Mother, and never mixed with other people.
I say "we" as Sardinian, although my family seems to be the original "the continent" even came to Sardinia in ancient eras defined as less ... However

: giving heed to the DNA of Ogliastra, he is quite right the "Aunt Mary" is in every country, which, before the arrival of a stranger in the village square, it breaks down, and invariably asks " And tui, de chinisesi? ". That is: "Who you are (son)?".
implying: "If you came here, in this island, you are a returning emigrant, you can not be a stranger. In Sardinia there are and will only pass the Sardinians (with the exclusion of the police officers and nobles exploiters).
modern myths, in fact.

Because in ancient myth, Sardinia, an island in the middle of the Mediterranean West, was a "seaport" (you pardon the pun), as its location and its wealth implied.
The population was still considered a very mixed origin: not less than thirteen peoples have given rise to Sardis! An island that, at the time of law, received a land settlers today and one tomorrow. And not all the myths of antiquity hidden behind the appearance of an alleged rule recently.
In the face of genetic continuity and isolation ... This series

Post wants to lead the "continental" and also to find out where the Sardinians, as the classical myth, was the Sardinians.
But do not be afraid: if you fear alien origin, or Atlantean Shardana \\ people of Dan and more ... Well, these are modern myths that we will see again. A small note


According to other modern myths, the Sardinians were all unfailingly stubborn, hospitable, pastors, closed in the countries of the Interior, Terragni and sailors, unable to speak without doubling the consonants ...
Worse, some thirty years ago there was the myth that all the Sardinians were kidnappers. A vision
much to 'outsiders', to tell the truth!
Of course, even among the people of my island there are those who imply that "real Sardinian" are only those with a sort of "pure blood" traditionalist (pastor, friendly, stubborn, etc.. Etc.) Reserved for those who live in mountains of the interior. But if we analyze the information document of history and not a priori belief (the word "myths" Understanding in the negative, in fact), this is a tradition that has always had value not only for a major portion of the island population.

The only "belief" that has scientific value is that in Sardinia
is a high percentage of centenarians. We should not worry too much, however: it also increases pollution from us, and the data on longevity may soon become just another myth ...
