Suleyman the Magnificent sent rockets to the moon in the 16th century. True story.

Erdogan's descent into Turkmenbashi territory will at least be highly amusing. If you don't live in Turkey. Or near Turkey.

Unlike the claims that the Chinese did it, or the Welsh did it or the Musselmans did it the Icelanders did do it and we have y'know archeology.

In any case none of these putative and (one) real discovery really matter since they had no effect. This says more about Erdogan than about reality.
:yes:

I still wonder how far south the Norse got.

Garbon, you are disgusting.
We both know you love white pasty things, specially if they come from fake white jews like me.

I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

IDK.  This is a tradition that goes back to the Empire.  Turcocentrism goes back more than a century now.  Look up Sun Language Theory.
