I am not kidding, first got wind of this a few days ago. Egyptians are suing all of the jews of the world for riches stolen during the legendary exodus mentioned in the bible. They are suing for trillions of tons of gold and lewtz. Not kidding. http://www.memri.org/bin/articles.cgi?P ... ID=SP55603
The Egyptian Pharaoh was surprised one day to discover thousands of Egyptian women crying under the palace balcony, asking for help and complaining that the Jews stole their clothing and jewels, in the greatest collective fraud history has ever known.
ROFL! I understand their motive is a tit for tat at the jews, but damn if they did not drive home their point pretty dang good.
Hilmi: "Taking posession of the gold was understandable. This is clear theft of a host country's resources and treasure, something that fits the morals and character of the Jews. Yet what was not clear to the Egyptian women were the reasons for stealing the cooking utensils, when other things may have been of greater value. However, one of the Egyptian priets said that this had been the Jews' twisted way throughout history; they seek to cause a minor problem connected with the needs of everyday life so as to occupy people with these matters and prevent them from pursuing them to get back the stolen gold...
OK I admit I read it and laughed my ass off. I am very interested where they got "police reports" that are a couple thousand years old, detailing what was "stolen".
As far as the the Jews being owed for "the years of bondage", I guess that would depend on who started their fight in the first place: were the agressors Egyptian or Hebrew?

I think the Jews should have to pay it. But they should pay it back with the reparation money they should demand of the Egyptians for enslaving them in the first place. Or, on second thought, they could just both call it even.
Note: My knowledge of the Jews being enslaved by the Egyptians comes from the Bible, so there's a good chance it's not historically accurate.

And the Indians sueing the Americans.. or the nords sueing the english, because damnit, they discovered America first... or the jews sueing the Germans (tho I think they allready did? Don't recall exactly).
List could go on and on.. the French sueing all of Europe because they didn't bow down and surrender to Napolean. :0

But I guess that on the other hand, I could be like the rest.

Let me say this once more, THE ONLY PEOPLE THAT "DISCOVERED" AMERICA WERE THE AMERICAN INDIANS. The people that came in afterwards were nothing more than invaders. That will be all.
Actually I've a question about that.
I know that it's commonly thought that the american indians came across durring the land bridge in the ice age.. were they the same people (with a few hundred generations removed) that settled down around where the Incans and Mayans duked it out?

Akaran, I don't think anyone would ever be able to prove exactly who came from where, but it is thought that most of those in that area all were descendants of the same people. The Mexicans and what would be Native Americans now all probably originated from the same area and had common ancestors.
on the offtopic topic of native americans and the origins of their coming to the americas.
There is no textbook factual method of course.
There are several theories...and OMGIAMRETARDEDCAUSEALOTISTWOWORDS are starting to believe it was a combination of these theories.
1. Wandering nomad hunters walked across the land bridge in pursuit of the tasty but elusive Wooly Mammoth. Most people believe this one to be most plausible, though I don't personally, because of one thing: The landbridge existed during the ice age. I doubt a massive amount of people (though I will admit some did) walked this bridge because.......IT WAS TOO FUCKING COLD!
2. Seafaring Island types traveled together across the pacific currents. (archaelogical evidence shows certain types of pottery and jewlery found in the islands also in certain places on the west coast of SA, some even theorize that traders travelled this passage)
These are the two most non crazy. One very odd thing was that the Olmec tribe in SA seems very out of place. Skeletons from this entire tribe show characteristics of negro descent, whereas the rest of the american indians share asian characteristics. There is basically no way to explain how these people arrived in america except to say that they journeyed across the atlantic. Which isn't out of the question.

There is also several theories that American Humans came from Atlantis or Mu when/if it sank. Mu was the pacific version of Atlantis that supposedly sank around 10000 years ago. A professor in the early 20th century claimed to have found hieroglyphic symbols that predated egyptian hieroglyphics and that matched tablets found in several other parts of the world. He wrote several books on the subject.
I am not saying I believe it all but it made for some interesting reading when I came across the theory several years ago in my university library.

I would say that is a much less widely supported theory. In fact, I bet you could count the number of scholars who support this on one hand. Heh
