Speaking of Latin. It is known, is much simpler than English, French or German. This means that there was this language as his letter later. Because language always simplifies, and nothing else. As with any technology if the problem persists. Nobody's going to be difficult, it's stupid. All will try to simplify.

Perhaps it is, but the question is, when I remember it 8) it May take a thousand years before we find something interesting...

Don't see the problem of hiding secret or two, if we assume that the world is not only presidents and kings, Caesars and emperors ruled, but shadow group (national group). In this case, hiding from the world, some open quite real (the engine car on water, wireless and free energy, etc.).

It is easier than English? And like you said with time, everything is easier, right? A contradiction?...

Yes, that's right. The British, Germans and other stuffed him into his words, that turned easier. Not their languages come from Latin, but rather the Latin from European languages. As Esperanto. A very simple language.

And keeping secrets is a temporary measure. Long the secret of the atomic bomb was a secret??? Well, a decade, well, two... But not even fifty years old!

I hope it was trolling. I certainly relate to the greatness of Ancient Rome with a healthy degree of skepticism (I think the Greek Civilization is much higher), but the comparison with a shovel...hmm, this is too much, the author.

You're a follower of this civilization, as almost all pulsar. So Rome has long captured the world.

From history.
The best Gladiator was freed from the games in the Coliseum and awarded a wooden sword.

And now look at standard Gladiator armor and you will see that in the Coliseum fought with wooden swords (not to hurt each other and God forbid to deny vision hitting the eye)..

There was no bloody cruel of Rome. And whether Rome itself, or a collective image?

Without exception, the capitals of the countries was based on trade or other convenient ways. All European capitals are on rivers or on the shores of the seas. And Rome? Who would have thought to build a capital in the wilderness and hauling it to the road? Any economy will not stand. There is something fishy...and has survived all too well. In Europe srednevekovye locks worse. Again, technology. Weapons obviously not so ancient. Armor, too. It is impossible for the knee to do, you need serious production.
Here is a tricky question. Than shaving ancient the Egyptians, who did not know iron?

Wow, I just got zatesalsya in the Roman Empire - a movie I watched, story read, Son of Rome is set and then, on the home PG, this topic POPs up.
About shaving, what's the problem? They're all at zero shaved with stone knives, and later began to make a bronze razor.

I appreciated the joke. Especially about the bronze razor.
Or are they plucked the beard??? The laser burned?

Bus97 15.05.20

Oh, You're serious! Then try to sharpen bronze to a razor sharpness, and that she still hair cut. The invention of the razor is one of the greatest steps of mankind. Before shaving, I do not know what. Steel knives, most likely.

Latin is one of the most complicated European languages, but we may see a little clearer English or German thanks to the synthetic, not analytic grammar. This is the first. The second is a medieval Latin, scientific Latin, classical Latin, archaic Latin, vulgar Latin is not the same, and different periods and branches of development of one language. They all have significant differences, with the same success you can compare proto-Slavic, old Russian, Church Slavonic, Russian, Belarusian, etc. And third, from Latin to some extent occurred only languages of the romance branch of the French, Spanish, Romanian, Portuguese, Italian, Catalan, etc. in some measure because each of them had a powerful substrate in the form of a Celtic/ German/ Dacian languages and developed from"vulgar Latin. The cleanest and therefore the most difficult to call Italian, which is a direct descendant of classical Latin literature and was originally developed as a literary language and not parochial surzhik. All other European languages have their own roots, and Latin have in common is that the abundance of borrowing and entering the common Indo-European family (and not all - Basque, Estonian, Finnish, Hungarian are not included).

Easy. As a child, even lead, tin and aluminum wire fun doing blade, capable of cutting not only hair.

Steel was invented before the bronze? You see, the lessons of history finally replaced the clock patriotism and a biography of Putin.

The elephant, no doubt about it. The elephant, as you still have to learn, equipped with the front part of the contraption called among the people trunk. This clever device is marvelously multi-functional, however, in the context of this question it will be used to lift and transport any items: elephants, logs, people. Keith, in turn, has no such similar function device, therefore, it is the comparison with the elephant are not applicable.

Like you we have linguists. Still say that Hebrew is the oldest. Education does not mean the truth. Those who teach, also can make mistakes. Or intentionally to mislead. The more linguists. Here in physics or chemistry is harder to hang noodles. And then the whip that want to prove something with nothing!
And the lead, tin and aluminum such nonsense I have not heard even from the most inveterate liars. Table of hardness look.
As for steel, it is, of course, was made much later than bronze.
