Do you know why the sun never set on the British Empire? Because no-one could trust an Englishman in the dark!!!!

going by from photos ive seen of stirrupless natives from here, these stirrupless Greek horsemen were built like wrestlers with huge biceps and leg muscles. this is before the Stirrup was introduced by the Normans. you had to hang on with youre legs! so naturally, you would end up with the Schwarzenegar look!

This video has blown me away!!! I live in Greece but I have never seen these great works of art, my heritage, in real life!!! They must be brought back to their homeland where they belong...
