The Roman Empire was not exactly the bright and shining bastion of knowledge of the ancient world either (especially at the time the Germans and Asiatics were doing their thing). The Romans may have been good at engineering, but even they admit (through their writings) that the Greeks were the place to be for philosophy, science and the like... Damon, who will note that the Greek side of the empire persevered for another 1000 years after the western portion collapsed. ===== ------------------------------------------------------------ Damon Agretto [EMAIL PROTECTED] "Qui desiderat pacem, praeparet bellum." http://www.geocities.com/garrand.geo/index.html Now Building: ------------------------------------------------------------ __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
