I'm not a royalist but proud that the Royal family is still a big part of the UK's living, here and now history
The coronation today of King Charles III is just a continuing of history. UK is a more interesting country because of it not despite it
Don't like it, that's ok, as you can always follow the Kardashians  |
The Kardashians are one of the few real world things I rank lower, way way lower than the royal family.
I really do appreciate the 2,000+ history of the island's royalty. I loved the series Time Team. Real history presented as it was uncovered.
As a resident in a territory that is only opened to the white man in 1889 "old" has a very different scale. The oldest building in all of Oklahoma is Sequoyah's Cabin built in 1829.
Oklahoma City did not exist at all before April 22, 1889. So we know the exact date our city was founded. London was founded sometime between 1750 BC and 1285 BC, so they have a 465 year range to estimate the founding. Astonishing, 3,500 years ago.
