You're a :spotted owl:. That is all.

My guess is they use the term 'proffesional' loosely.... I mean Louis Farrahkan claims to be a professional and know all about all sorts of things. Besides the word Catholic isn't Turk in any way its Greek. The word Catholic (katholikos from katholou — throughout the whole, i.e., universal) occurs in the Greek classics, e.g., in Aristotle and Polybius, and was freely used by the earlier Christian writers in what we may call its primitive and non-ecclesiastical sense. Most words from the bible come from Ancient Greek because Ancient Greek was to the Romans (and the Hebrews of that time) the language of the educated. And the first Catholics weren't Armenian they were Hebrew/Greek/Roman although Armenians and others were early converts. Even the language you use is that of a conspiracy theorist. The long and short of it is that Julius Caesar took control of the Republic, was assasinated and when Augustus took control he took the name 'Caesar' as a title to give him a bit more legitimacy and to establish heriditary empire.

Which Greeks are we talking about here? The barbarian Greeks or the other Greeks? Because according to Herodotus, the first Greeks became powerful after barbarians from far East joined with them creating a special society.

Those barbarians were Turks bringing with them new ideas, technologies and combined their knowledge with the sedentary Greeks of the time.

You're flaming. That is all.

Another person with no training in Latin...what a shame. Latin should be a MANDATORY language to learn. Anyways, "Kaesar" is the Latin pronouciation, and "Kaesars's" Legion is based on old Rome.

Yea... and Plato mentioned something about 'Atlantis'... but seriously the Helenes. 'Powerful' and 'Culturally significant' aren't necessarily the same thing, the Greeks didn't become seriously powerful until the defeat of the Persians and the rise of the two major city states which were later overcome by the northern Macedonians who weren't really 'Greek', But the Macedonians didn't particularly spread their own culture so much as Helenistic culture, hell Alexander the Greats tutor was Aristotle who while he was a Macedonian learned from an Athenian (Plato). But the word is Ancient Helenestic Greek if Aristotle or Polybius used it.

Why should a dead language be manditory?? That would be a stupid idea.

You can not (and should not) talk about the past with values and reality of today. In those days there was not really any "culturally significant" nations. Today we don't even know how the pyramids or Stonehenge was built with ancient technology. Those days nations imposed their culture on others by "pure force" not by songs & movies. Theaters were just gay entertainment. They did not spread culture, because everyone was either savages or barbarians. We know a lot about savages because they had the luxury to write documents. The barbarians kept migrating and didn't have the luxury to write documents. They simply inscribed their letters on rocks.

For example:
Today you can understand the concept of infinity by thinking about space.

Back then they probably couldn't think of space. They needed a sign (which is the horizontal 8 meaning a line that keeps going) to even start to understand the concept.

The only Turks to move that far west were Trojans (which was still a 'Greek-esque' settlement) and they went on to found Rome and had very little impact on Greek learning until the rising of Rome as an international political entity.

Because that's the original latin pronunciation of Caesar.

So what?

You fail to acknowledge the rest of my points on the post, whilst defending someone who chooses to act willfully ignorant.

Great job there buddy. But whatever. You're entitled to what you post.

I don't care who I defend, point is you were flaming. (I didn't like his post either but that doesn't mean I'm going to call him a :spotted owl:)
Didn't care for the rest of the post which is why I cut it.
It had no relevance to my reply to you.

So lets just drop it now.
