Know, O prince, that between the years when the oceans drank Atlantis and the gleaming cities, and the years of the rise of the Sons of Aryas, there was an Age undreamed of, when shining kingdoms lay spread across the world like blue mantles beneath the stars - Nemedia, Ophir, Brythunia, Hyperborea, Zamora with its dark-haired women and towers of spider-haunted mystery, Zingara with its chivalry, Koth that bordered on the pastoral lands of Shem, Stygia with its shadow-guarded tombs, Hyrkania whose riders wore steel and silk and gold. But the proudest kingdom of the world was Aquilonia, reigning supreme in the dreaming west.  Hither came Conan the Cimmerian, black-haired, sullen-eyed, sword in hand, a thief, a reaver, a slayer, with gigantic melancholies and gigantic mirth, to tread the jeweled thrones of the Earth under his sandalled feet.

My mother is from Zamora.  :nerd: But she is blonde-ish, and AFAIK there are no towers of spider haunted mystery around... :unsure:

Zamora is on the way to Bragança. :)

And Zamora also claims Viriato as its local hero.  :lol:

Sadly for Zamora, the claim is not recognized beyond city limits, as you say. ;)

Hogwash.



Nice picture!
Calm down, if you're Zamoran, your city sided with Portugal at least once and gained Portuguese citizenship. If not, you're still a Galego so (Northern) Portuguese anyways.  :D

Here's one more for you :)

Epic! Where's that?

Btw, the flag of the city of Zamora (a bit of a rip off of the Portuguese one) includes 8 red stripes, one for each vicotry of Viriato over the Romans.  ;)

According to current research, modern Europeans are the result of a mixture of three groups:

- Dark skinned, blue eyed hunter-gatherers (the earliest population)
- Light skinned, brown eyed farmers
- A group of North Eurasian related to modern Native Americans

This should go in my genomics megathread!  :mad:

Also, this is old news. :nerd:

Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.

Viseu.

QuotePigmentation genes carried by the hunters and farmers showed that, while the dark hair, brown eyes and pale skin of the early farmer would look familiar to us, the hunter-gatherers would stand out if we saw them on a street today.
"It really does look like the indigenous West European hunter gatherers had this striking combination of dark skin and blue eyes that doesn't exist any more," Prof Reich told BBC News. 

Interesting article. It's pretty interesting to figure how so many different kinds of people made up the European area, how they arrived there, how they mixed. Looks like this group was genetically bred out.

Come on, man.
That article was PC bullshit to prove the White Man is not different from any brownies and darkies.
Which is true by the way.
But I just don't like PC bullshit.

Perhaps the graphs will elicit some interest?

Certainly more than the link I didn't click.   :P

So West Virginian blacks are the whitest in the country, there's a shock.

Those graphs gave me a headache.
And still do not answer the big question of the year:
Is Iggy Azalea white or black?
She definitively sounds black.
