Not in but +1 for another generous giveaway.

I love history so here are a few tidbits:

1. It is considered an act of treason to put a postage stamp with the queen’s head upside down on an envelope!

2. There are more chickens than people in England.

3. It is illegal to die in the Houses of Parliament.

4.The last English woman convicted under the Witchcraft Act of 1735 was convicted in 1944.

BeatriceElysia: Write interesting info about past times and say you're in and you're in.
Not in, but I'll contribute with something potentially interesting.

Sargon of Akkad, or Sargon the Great, the first ruler of the Akkadian Empire (24th - 23rd centuries BC), was already regarded as a legendary figure in the Neo-Assyrian literature of the 8th to 7th centuries BC. So much so that some less ancient rules of Mesopotamian kingdoms and empires - for example Nabonidus in the 6th century BC - conducted excavations of his seats of power in order to uncover more on his life and exploits.

How's that for ancient archeology?

And remember kids, if you really care for your data always use carving in stone. It has been known to last 40 centuries or more.

Unless my choice of words came out wrong or if you both are those anal types of people who look for a "hair in the egg" I really don't see any difference between what I said and what your said. They lived, they died then many years later people bring them back there again (not the same as they were but a horse is a horse it's not a bird), they escaped back to the wild and mutliplied.
It's a nice story and most importantly an interesting one. Like all history is. None of us were there and it's all speculation, so better to keep it interesting as only stories that have that extra something are remember and retold.

TheMonkofDestiny: Murderers in medieval Ireland were given to the deceased’s family as slaves if they failed to pay a hefty fine to buy their freedom. The family could then legally kill the murderer themselves.
That is both amazing and terrifying. Thanks for sharing.

BranjoHello: Unless my choice of words came out wrong
It wasn't your 'choice' of words that were wrong but everything you said.

or if you both are those anal types of people who look for a "hair in the egg" I really don't see any difference between what I said and what your said.
Then you're more moronic than your original "story".

They lived, they died then many years later people bring them back there again (not the same as they were but a horse is a horse it's not a bird), they escaped back to the wild and mutliplied.

Yours is a fairy tale dreamed up by a GOG forum user, mine is fact, backed up by hard, palaeontological evidence. Nothing you said was fact in the least.

Hickory: small person talking
The generous fine lady in the OP is giving away a very nice game. In return she asked for some stories/info from the past.
The best thing you could think of was invading some else's post "correcting" it by presenting some very boring "facts" that I could have presented as well if I wanted because I can search the internet just as good as you believe it or not.
And then calling someone moronic for telling you how you totally missed the point must have totally improved your gesture of honoring someone's good will.
*applause*
If there is a thing all scientist agree on it's that everything should always be questionable. Concerning history, probably at a double. In case you didn't know that already, there you have it, you actually learned something really meaningful today. Sorry it doesn't comes in figures, measurements and fossils.

You really are as moronic as your posts. I rest my case.

Hi i'm in Thank you for the giveaway

In the ancient greek drama only the men were allowed to play, so they used mask to play women roles.

I'm in! Thank you very much for the chance.

In 1189, King Henry died shortly after an attack by his son, Richard the Lionheart. When he became king, he started working towards a crusade. I always found it hypocritical how a man can kill his own father (even if it were indirect, in a sense), and many others, and then go on a crusade in the name of a religion teaching "love".

Wow, that's quite the awesome giveaway!

You won because I liked your story.

Probably because religion has nothing to do with love.
