When Queen Elizabeth I was dying, she named King James IV of Scotland as the successor to the throne. In 1606, King James created a flag which looked almost like the flag of Britain looks today. It was in 1800 when England and Ireland unified and formed the United Kingdom that the flag as it looks today was created, under the reign of King George III.

China supplied Britian with tea.

From its base in India the East India Company led the expansion of the British Empire in Asia.

As well as working with the Royal Navy to oust Napoleon from Egypt, capture Java from the Netherlands, aquire Singapore 1819, defeat of Burma 1826, the East India Co.was making great profits out of the opium export trade to China.

These illegal activites took place from approx 1730's and went some way to redress or reverse the imbalances in trade which were a result of the British imports of tea. This saw large amounts of silver flooding into China from Britain.

In 1839 a large amount of opium was cofiscated by the Chinese authorities. This led Britain to attack China in what became known as the First Opium War, and British seizure of Hong Kong.

More than 6ft tall. Like us, as in cro-magnon people. But not all. Just look at the pictures they left us- so precise and accurate botanists and zoologists can identify the animal and plant species pictured. Literal photographic pictures carved in stone. Besides the code-image heiroglyphs. Ancient Egypt had two classes of people. Some like us, many and numerous. The overseers are over ten feet tall. This information will likely be erased as it is not something our consensus society is able to comprehend.

Yes, tents have been used for thousands of years, but they didn't look like what we have today. The Romans used a large sheet of fabric with support frames. They would make a large frame and drape their canvas or material across the frame. Camping tents, like we have, is rather a modern idea.

because Americans who find out about other countries invariably want to change their own, which is why the their Government, through their education system, teached them that theirs is the best country in the world, and that they therefore need to know nothing about other countries.

Edit: I did not feel it would be right altering the previous posters response. Instead I left an explanation on the "Discussion page" instead. I feel it's more informative being I am an American and the above seems like speculation/US-flaming. None of what I wrote on the note is verifiable but seemed to be the most logical to me (and a few others I've actually had this discussion with). - Trasken
