if you voted for Trump you're going to Hell, and this is why.. he looked like the Easy Way to you.. you took the Easy Way, and that's what you go to Hell for, you cowards..

if you're a man and you voted for Trump, you're a Momma's Boy, just like Mike Pence and Bill O'Reilly.. you were coddled..

and i don't give a damn about any of you hellbound assholes.. you can all rot..

it was settled by a lot of the same type of Germans who continued west from there during the mid 19th Century.. and its proximity to Cleveland has always sort of made it the easternmost Midwestern city..

similarly, there's a good chunk of Southern Illinois that is basically indistinguishable from Kentucky.. same for Indiana..

In the first stage, archaeologists opened eight trenches and found a necropolis with nearly 150 urn graves, rock tombs and earthen graves, which were determined to belong to the Iron Age Assyrian civilization dating back to the first millennium B.C., in an area of approximately 100 square meters.

Spears, arrowheads, daggers, knives, swords and a wide variety of war materials, thought to belong to the dead, were unearthed in the urn graves, where the remaining bones of the dead were buried after being cremated.

sounds like a pretty awesome find

Research finds dramatic increase in cranial traumas as the first cities were being built, suggesting a rise in violence (phys.org)

The development of the earliest cities in Mesopotamia and the Middle East led to a substantial increase in violence between inhabitants. Laws, centralized administration, trade and culture then caused the ratio of violent deaths to fall back again in the Early and Middle Bronze Age (3,300 to 1,500 BCE). This is the conclusion of...

in general i think we undervalue the ability of pre-literate humans to keep memories alive for truly inconceivable stretches of time.. especially when they are really important, like when entire cities tear themselves apart with anarchy and no doubt every known disease as a result.. the drama of it can't be overstated on the minds of the people who lived it.. they had only recently been kicked out of Eden, which was also very real in their minds.. those people knew all the Gods had turned their backs on them, because they lived the first real large scale human suffering..

The researchers put the increase in violence in the 5th and 4th millennia BCE down to the agglomeration of humans in the first, still poorly organized, cities. The rate of violence only reduced significantly once legal systems, a centrally controlled army, and religious institutions (for example, religious festivals) developed.

this seems to be the origins of the Tower of Babel story to me.. in the Late Bronze Age people still told stories about a time long before (3000 years prior), when people had tried to settle down in those poorly organized, agglomeration cities mentioned in the article.. they still told stories about the chaos of cities without laws/religion and no common language..
