Further in the south, beyond the third cataract, there was Yam, as the Ancient Egyptians called Kush – Ethiopia first.

Precisely because of the fact that today there is no paradigm better than King Ahmed ibn Ibrahim for any African, either Muslim, Christian or follower of traditional religions, the ruling elite of the Western world strives to ensure that little is only said about the Great African King, and more importantly that it is all flawed with numerous inaccuracies, absolutely false contextualization, partly oblivion, distortion of historical truth, and effective adjustment to their interests. - A Special Chola Type Coin By : Johnson C. Philip
What is known as the Raja Raja Chola type of coins are so common that the moment a person tries to acquire old Indian coins, he presented with many of these coins.

By : Andy Carloff
Your ancestors lived a very different life from how we live today; it is important to examine how your liberty compares with theirs. "To stop the tyranny of the few, we need an economy managed collectively by the people themselves." - Founding Fathers and The Character of States By : Sam Vaknin
The United States of America started out as a series of loosely connected, remote, savage, and negligible colonial outposts. The denizens of these settlements were former victims of religious persecution, indentured servants, lapsed nobility, and other refugees. Their Declaration of Independence reads like a maudlin list of grievances coupled with desperate protestations of love and loyalty to their abuser, the King of Britain. - Honorary Missionary Kassim Ali R.Paroo By : Ibrahim Machiwala

When Fars will be reduced to its real level of historical veracity, and perceived as of secondary importance when compared to the Achaemenid, Arsacid and Sassanid times’ Atropatene, the modern Azeri historiography will offer Azerbaijan its true History and diachronic Identity that incorporated all the peoples and nations that happened to inhabit it, sharing the same 3000-year old Heritage. - Confederate Currency By : Johnny Kicklighter
The folks who said, “Hold on to your Confederate Money boys, the South will rise again,” were the brunt of many a joke over the years.

The Multiple Identities of Azerbaijan by Dr. Alireza Asgharzadeh - Strong Men and Political Theatres - The 'Being There' Syndrome By : Sam Vaknin
Given a high enough level of frustration, triggered by recurrent, endemic, and systemic failures in all spheres of policy, even the most resilient democracy develops a predilection to "strong men", leaders whose self-confidence, sangfroid, and apparent omniscience all but "guarantee" a change of course for the better. - Freedom for the Sahrawi Nation – Put an End to the Illegal Moroccan Occupation of Western Sahara By : Muhammad Shamsaddin Megalommatis

Let’s assume for a moment that the Aramaeans of today are of Assyrian ancestry, as the pretenders of the Assyrianist dogma so passionately want.

Projected to the entire world, viewed at a global scale, the Soqotran model of multicultural society of the Antiquity must be widely studied, and adequately taught to all those who still believe – at the peril and prejudice of all the rest – that their traditions, beliefs, faiths, historical heritages, and cultures are superior than the others’. - Hadhramawt, the 'Frankincense-bearing Country' By : Muhammad Shamsaddin Megalommatis

As a wider interest concerning the Amhara / Tigray Abyssinian usurpation of the name of Ethiopia has been expressed recently by many readers who wrote to me in this regard, I present here ten points, explaining why the historically false cannot be politically correct.

The Balkan peninsula has long been considered as Europe's tinderbox; and with good reason!

What European politicians and statesmen, intellectuals and philosophers tried to exorcise with the most ardent fervor is precisely what they have immutably been so far: Manichaean!
