I don't see the connection. BlackAdder Send a noteboard - 08/04/2010 08:49:46 PM
I just think the world would be really interesting without it.


Much less developed, for one.

How did the religion speed up world development? Are you referring to spread of technology and ideas through conflict/conquest?

He must be talking about a different plague, but I'm not sure which one, either. *NM* Legolas - 07/04/2010 01:37:32 AM 372 Views
Maybe; there were episodic plague epidemics before and after that time. Joel - 07/04/2010 02:05:18 AM 631 Views
