Forum Rules (Everyone Must Read!!!)

1] What you CAN NOT post.

You agree, through your use of this service, that you will not use this forum to post any material which is:
- abusive
- vulgar
- hateful
- harassing
- personal attacks
- obscene

You also may not:
- post images that are too large (max is 500*500px)
- post any copyrighted material unless the copyright is owned by you or cited properly.
- post in UPPER CASE, which is considered yelling
- post messages which insult the Armenians, Armenian culture, traditions, etc
- post racist or other intentionally insensitive material that insults or attacks another culture (including Turks)

The Ankap thread is excluded from the strict rules because that place is more relaxed and you can vent and engage in light insults and humor. Notice it's not a blank ticket, but just a place to vent. If you go into the Ankap thread, you enter at your own risk of being clowned on.
What you PROBABLY SHOULD NOT post...
Do not post information that you will regret putting out in public. This site comes up on Google, is cached, and all of that, so be aware of that as you post. Do not ask the staff to go through and delete things that you regret making available on the web for all to see because we will not do it. Think before you post!


2] Use descriptive subject lines & research your post. This means use the SEARCH.

This reduces the chances of double-posting and it also makes it easier for people to see what they do/don't want to read. Using the search function will identify existing threads on the topic so we do not have multiple threads on the same topic.

3] Keep the focus.

Each forum has a focus on a certain topic. Questions outside the scope of a certain forum will either be moved to the appropriate forum, closed, or simply be deleted. Please post your topic in the most appropriate forum. Users that keep doing this will be warned, then banned.

4] Behave as you would in a public location.

This forum is no different than a public place. Behave yourself and act like a decent human being (i.e. be respectful). If you're unable to do so, you're not welcome here and will be made to leave.

5] Respect the authority of moderators/admins.

Public discussions of moderator/admin actions are not allowed on the forum. It is also prohibited to protest moderator actions in titles, avatars, and signatures. If you don't like something that a moderator did, PM or email the moderator and try your best to resolve the problem or difference in private.

6] Promotion of sites or products is not permitted.

Advertisements are not allowed in this venue. No blatant advertising or solicitations of or for business is prohibited.
This includes, but not limited to, personal resumes and links to products or
services with which the poster is affiliated, whether or not a fee is charged
for the product or service. Spamming, in which a user posts the same message repeatedly, is also prohibited.

7] We retain the right to remove any posts and/or Members for any reason, without prior notice.


- PLEASE READ -

Members are welcome to read posts and though we encourage your active participation in the forum, it is not required. If you do participate by posting, however, we expect that on the whole you contribute something to the forum. This means that the bulk of your posts should not be in "fun" threads (e.g. Ankap, Keep & Kill, This or That, etc.). Further, while occasionally it is appropriate to simply voice your agreement or approval, not all of your posts should be of this variety: "LOL Member213!" "I agree."
If it is evident that a member is simply posting for the sake of posting, they will be removed.


8] These Rules & Guidelines may be amended at any time. (last update September 17, 2009)

If you believe an individual is repeatedly breaking the rules, please report to admin/moderator.

    By the way, the horse was also first domesticated in the Armenian Highlands and was first harnessed to carts for transportation.

        here you are: http://anthropology.net/2008/08/14/e...by-1000-years/



        You sure the horse was first domesticated in the Armenian Highlands? The consensus that I'm aware of attests that it happened in the 4-5th millenium BC in the Pontic Steppe. By the 3rd Millenium BC, Asia Minor got them too and used chariots to pwn their adversaries.

        The consensus based on archeological records that it first occurred in the Pontic Steppe makes sense because it corresponds very well to the early Aryan Tocharian migrations and their domination of the Tarim basin. It was a time when the Kurgan cultures traveled throughout Eurasia, the world was a small place for them. It would take less than a year to get to the other side of the continent. This changed when Asians became organized and adopted the technology of the Aryans. They displaced/absorbed the Tocharians and their eastward migrating counterparts and so the Tocharians became lost in time.

              I remember watching a documentary about early civilization and how the first chariots may have been pulled by the ass/donkey of the time which would be similar to the ones in Iran today. I believe the donkey served and still does as a form of transport for farmers of the region.

                I disagree. Domesticated animals and love/romance go together in Turkey

                  I looked, but I only found stuff about crops. I'll change the title of the thread so it's about agriculture too.

                  Here, Oldest incidence of harvested rice in the world, 15,000 years old, found in Korea: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/3207552.stm

                  Also intellectual lounge is more appropriate for this topic than love and romance.
                  Haha... but livestock is about love and breeding :P

                    Maybe the turk means that you can't beat a donkey into submission like you can other domesticated animals. They have a higher intelligence, longer memory and by nature will not forgive poor treatment. However a well trained donkey or mule is far more intelligent and useful then even a horse. They tend to be more sure footed, intelligent and have a higher endurance then the horse.
