I don't know about men and women, but this thread's certainly revealing how many children are playing.

It looks like the horse runs away when it's dismounted, after being damaged. I had my horse standing while I shot my crossbow then, the horse was hit by a stone and it started running.

The only thing that disturbs me about most of these posts, is the implication that this kind of ignorance is a solely United Station phenomenon.  We do have a lot of poor ignorant folk in the United States, and plenty of them are happily living their lives, not giving a care in the world that they don't know a bunch of useless **** about the Delian League and the Persian Empire.  Seriously, I'm willing to bet that England has, taking proportion of the population into account, just as many people who are ignorant of all that antiquated nonsense.

Quoted for truth.

I myself learned American history (a more complete history involving North America, including the pre-Columbus era, though sorely lacking in South American history outside of the Incas and the Spanish/Portuguese expansion) and found it to be rather bland, for the most part.  I've studied Russian history quite a bit (though by no means am I an expert) especially from the 1200s to the present day and find their history to be much more fascinating than our own.  I think a part of the disinterest by American students with regards to history is the fact that you only have 300-400 years to glance at, rather than a couple centuries.  The shorter timespan means that many of the events that are studied in class are by necessity less important and more boring than those gleaned from a longer timespan.

Not to get all historical/archaeologists on you, but there is no such thing as a functional bronze "sword"

Bronze swords were used before 1000-1200 BC, but obviously not during the classical period.

I imagine Valec will come in to tell us that the Soviets desired to rape us in our sleep and only the honest, hardworking Republicans saved us from the Soviets and their democratic collaborators.
