Andreazz, you said, 'Architect, it didn't even cross my mind I could offend anyone by assuming they posessed a certain nationality. Nationality is just a label. A figment of our minds. It doesn't really say anything about who we are as individuals.'

While I have no problem with it, some people tend to cook off when you assume.

On the subject of Ancient Egyptians, their state religion is one that is of extreme interest to me. On one hand, it was intelligent on how it dealt with symbols and stuff, while on the other hand, it was really just state propaganda. Temples would be carved with reliefs depicted everyone's favourite ruler, the son of Horus himself on earth itself smiting Egypt's enemies. Its funny that there are records of people passing out becuase the Pharoah looked at them. It is an example of how things can get corrupted into something else.

Anyway, I don't think this thread is for this discussion so I'll leave it alone for a while for its original purpose (unless people now think its for another purpose).
