Hey stormtrooper,
wasn't really looking for a job, perfectly happy with the studios and the people I work with right now,
was more less fisshing for an excuse to maybe set a plan of moving out of europe.
anyway about the brittish and the USA,
don't forget that New York used to be New Amsterdam, before the duke of York (uk) went campaining against the New Netherlands, until the peace of Breda (large city in south of holland) the city New amsterdam was turned over to the brittish and the Duke named it after himself, hence New York.
mind you the city was at that time allready developed to great extend, Wall street for instance was a dutch build Wood wall, in dutch a "wal" sort of wall made of clay and tree branches to keep water/cattle/enemy's out, very early dyke sort of thing.
the legal system that was active under dutch rule is still in rule in holland now, mr Nicols a servant of the duke of york thought up the trial by jury as we now know it, in europe there are not much countrys that have a trial by jury justice system, we only have judges and laywers. roots for that go back far into german and roman history.
The thing I would like to know, is about the history in your country's. first explinaition to illustrate what I mean, it's a feeling i sometimes have which I cannot imagine being without.
close to my house they discovered a Roman settlement, and dug it up to show to the public, this site is dated to 40 B.C.
We have Hunnenbeds(Dolmens), 3400 years old burial mounts/grounds at 40km's driving (lot's of them) they are spread all over northern europe 100's,
near my sister in France, there's the Roque Saint Christophe, (rock of saint christophe), it's the oldest place people have lived for a unintertupted period of time, the oldest human remains (well actually neaderthals) date back 41.000 years, but scientist think it's been occupied since 55.000 B.C. the place has been ocupied up to the late 17th century. for instance egypt isn't that old at all.
more everyday, in my parents house, I had a room on the top floor and that looked out onto a small forest (you'd probably call it a yard or garden hihi) and a 350year old castle.....
actual question is
Since the USA and AUS are relative young country's in terms of history, do you have things like this that are very old? buildings, ancient burial monuments, etc etc,
did the indians or aboriginals build anything constructive that still can be seen today?
In LOTR the blonde pointy ear says, "This forrest is very old" do you ever have that feeling about somehting in the country.
walking on the roque saint christophe for instance makes you feel very tiny and humble, and also around the biggest Hunebeds keeps you wondering, where did they got the rocks from? and how the hell did they arange them like that?
do you guys have things that are: completly irrelative for modern time, yet make more impression than anything you've ever seen because it's very very old and mostly very big aswell.
a typical hunebed
I find this very nice to go and look at, so now you know what my other hobby is. egypt, stonehenge, rome, athens, etc etc etc....
