    It’s interesting that many view the Mayans as an extinct civilization though they still exist in Southern Mexico.

    No. Wrong time period, by a country mile. The Persians would like to see you in a dark alley.

    I'd like to take you for a walk in the park at night.

    Thumbsupkid - whatever our disagreements about other matters. Guille is correct here. Babylon was the most successful of a whole number of city-states in ancient Mesapotamia, finally conquered by the Persians. Read your Bible, mate: 'Mene, mene tekel Upharsin' - or 'Peres'- 'Thou art weighed in the balances and found wanting. Thy kingdom is taken from thee and given to the Medes and the Persians'. That's how I recall it, anyway.

    I didn't say he was wrong. I just wanted him to take a walk in the park, at night, with me.
