@Heathen Pride: Yeah, I know what you mean, but that's not exactly what is meant with those two theories. You're right in that Hittites spoke Indoeuropean, but the demic diffusion hypothesis and the kurgan one imply that the language had to have been brought to the Hittites from someone - i.e. the original Indoeuropeans. Linguistics, archaeology and DNA point to there being an original indoeuropeanspeaking people before Hittites, but you're right that the Hittites definitively are some of the oldest that we know of.
@Pagan: I only have a vague collection of this, but I think it goes something like this: Atilla's territory overlapped with some of the Norse areas of interest. Traties were needed to ensure peaceful trading and such, and back then, treaties quite often were ensured by the marrying of the two parties involved. In this case, I think Attilla married off one of his sisters (could have been a daughter, can't remember for sure) to a Norseman. (Remember that back then, there was not a unified Sweden or Denmark etc, but rather lots of chieftains, "småkungar"? It was one of them tht married Atli's sis.) That's about all I can remember right at the moment.
Celtik: Well, good! I'd have stuck with the physics until the end of the semester, but then again, sometimes I wish I hadn't done so when I was your age. Sometimes I feel like I wasted time (but mostly effort) finishing off classes that now are not even worth the paper they're written on, but then again, I am an Odinswoman, and as such, I know full well that no knowledge is ever wasted (even some that you'd probably rather not have, such as how it feels to be kicked in the head...LOL!). Either way, I hope you'll find your "true love" early on. Life is so much better when you can do something for work that you actually enjoy. It doesn't always pay in money, but there's more to life than the almighty dollar. What you lack in money, you'll often get back in less stress and more happiness as a result! Hey, who knows, maybe we'll have the pleasure of working togehter one day! Good luck!/T
. i think i'll quit physics till the end of this year, and get a little job at the Louvre or something touristic like that (cause unlike most french i'm excelent in english which is a great advantage here to get a "summer" job). and next year i'll start the archeology stuff
