Although Jim is quite correct in most of the things he says here, he had made 2 mistakes here: it was Eratosthenes that measured the circumference of the earth using this method (Aristophanes was in the business of writing comedies) and the Greeks measured the distance between Asuan and Alexandria using odometers, early versions of modern ones (essentially wooden boxes on wheels dragged by mules). But he is a pretty good professor and teacher really, I had him at uni on relativity theory :D
Trolls galore who come here for what exactly? To share truth or to spread hate, or is spreading truth through hate? Your lives are truly pathetic if you have nothing better to do but to be a hate mongering internet troll...seriously think about what you say and what your are doing and ask yourself if what you are doing is making any changes what soever...no they are not. Much like the life of an Internet troll, its a complete waste of time. BBC is reputable, would they run this if they were lyin
A people will only have ambition to conquer the world, if they are racist against everybody. They happen to be especially racist, against east asians. Sorry on behalf of Mr. Dingo; he should have been more specific.
@stardingo747 The Mongols did a good job. Arabs can't bare living under 'human laws', can't bear the fact human laws are superiour to their 'divine laws'. Of course the Shari'a isn't divine, it's written by a barbarian idiot who couldn't think ahead.
@stardingo747 Malay people are sucking up to Arabs and Islam only spread there by trade. In fact, Wahabi Islam (one of the most retarded variants of it) is spreading there like wildfire. Doesn't talk FOR these people. And violent they are, burning down non-Muslim religious buildings like churches and restricting rights for everyone, even non-Muslims who were there before them.
Seeing these barbarous acts, I have come to conclude that a Pig is even more worth than this muhammad figure.
@kalefles you better shout up... remember the crusades .. and that last one atacked constaniopolis.... a christian citadel..the most wealthy..in that time..
@stardingo747 Actually Egyptians were tough enough to kick the mongols ass back and return the arab dignity..egyptians have never lost one battle against mongols ..the hyksos were the only asians who conquer egypt at the pharo time ..but at the end hyksos perished and the egyptian remains and there was no arabs at this time ..and nothing is racist about that ,it is history ..but nowadays i don't think that asians r weak ..i think they give us a good example of muslims so i like them
why the professor is not sitting next to Dr.Jim instead of standing up and explaining what he wants to explain? and what are these two guys sitting around the table doing ?
knowledge is power! thanks

The Arabs are racist against Malaysians, and other asian people because they think they are "weak."
They seem to forget the ass-kicking the Mongols gave them.
So, Asians are weak?
Apparently the Arabs weren't man enough to fight off the ASIAN mongols.

Because he's a professor, and they lecture while standing up.
