Featured Where did this cross come from? Silver cross

originally in Schwyz, called Haus Nideröst, now near the battlefield of Morgarten.

 

Thank you! have always wanted to spend some time in that area..such history
Just found it on the internet with a discussion in Swiss. Enjoyed it very much

 

The oldest boat was found in Pesse, the Netherlands, it dates from between 8200 and 7600 BC, and we can all go on and on about the age of wooden artifacts from different parts of the world, but that is not the point in this case. The point is age in perspective of historical development of a certain culture in a certain place.
The chair is a rare piece of history, given the context, and I for one appreciate that.

And I'm sure you know that North American artifacts date back to long before the chair. Native American, specifically.

 

Did anyone ever care?

Just my opinion, one-upmanship based on history or culture from any part of the world belongs somewhere in the murky 'other world' of misconceptions.

 

Well, i think they probably did, i have family members buried over there. Tell you what though, after 2 major conflicts in the last 100 years, i am gonna vote NO on sending my son if there is a 3rd & absolutely NO on my grandsons.
3 strikes and you're out! It's a baseball thing!

 

I think a number of members need to read section 7 of the sites rules.... https://www.antiquers.com/threads/the-rules.109/

 

You're right,

 

That is the one rule that gets broken most.

 

The girls led poor 'ol dad astray!

 

"girls" vs "dad"

Really.

 

alright, ladies!
The ladies led poor 'ol dad astray!

 

Hear, hear. I am older than James, and I'm guessing evelyb is as well. And who brought politics into it....?

 

The girls did! They wuz politic-ing away and dad dropped a map bomb on them!

 

I'm 52; I only feel like I'm 80. No clue how old James is.

Not "girls," not "ladies." We're women.

girls i say, i have no idea who you are, most in here have no name, nevermind ages, for all i know i could be talking to robots! lol

 

Hi,
Being in my eighty's I am sorry but you are all girls to me. Nothing being disrespectful. I am too damn old to be "Political Correct" The older woman like Elizabeth the Queen and Betty White and others are Ma'am to me. I will try to hold the door for you but most of you all try to hold the door for me. I thank you.

At the very, very least, "girls" is biologically incorrect. And more often than not being "political correct" is just plain being polite.

Dunno about the rest, but I'm a whippersnapper in an old fart of a body.(LOL)
