But do they have an estimate of how many shipwrecks are on land?

Translation of sign:

Un-Pharaoh

Well, I’m blue-eyed and I believe my common ancestor is Adam. If you want to go non-biblical, then I wouldn’t know of anyone.

I believe the strike was over the allotment of beer to pyramid workers.

“Blue eyes. Baby’s got blue eyes.”

Blue eyes and blonde hair ?

And they haven’t even checked the ocean ceiling yet. badda-BING badda-BOOM

Research suggests a lot of things. Whether they’re true or not is another thing entirely.

The Egyptian worker strike happened when Ramsses III was a month late (a few times) paying his workers due to lack of resources from some military campaigns…

As per the title: I can’t grasp 3 million shipwrecks. That # seems awfully high. I’d like to see their data.

They know about the workers strike because they found them all in the lower room of a pyramid…

I’m wondering how many containers have fallen off of ships and are just floating on the oceans.

We all come from a common ancestor. The question is, how recent was the blue eyed ancestor?

In 1966, I took the “round South America” Tour (Apx $600 then) As our group was wandering around Cuzco, I asked the guide what the school-girls we passed were giggling about. He responded “Probably your blue eyes!”

I have to compliment the cartoonist for taking the trouble to look up the hieroglyphs so they could write S-T-R-I-K, but I’m wondering why they chose another I on the end.

I had blue eyes when I was little. They started turning green when I was about 11.

wow, I didn’t even know there were 3 million ships…

Blue eyes are actually no color. They actually have no brown pigment in the lens as brown eyed people do. They appear blue by bending light through the clear lens the same way the sky appears blue by bending light through the atmosphere.

Key words from the educated… ‘suggests’ and ‘estimates’ – in other words, they really don’t know!

I wonder if that ancient Egyptian’s sign says “Unfair.” ;)

Ripley’s statement about the blue eyes is insufficient and therefore doesn’t make sense. Science says that we all have a common ancestor, independent of the color of our eyes. The cited research result is only some news if reformulated to sth else. In fact it is necessary to say, that these researchers found, that there is a gene related to the blue of the eyes which stems form one single person. This is a different message and would be a really new information. And it was not self-evident as blue-eyedness is an adaption to a different environment and a degeneration of the brown-eyedness which existed earlier, and this degeneration could have happened several times and independently. Additionally, DaveQuinn is right in saying that more than one gene determines eye color. But according to this research, one of them might be common to all blue-eyed people, whereas the other ones are not shared by all.

Note, that the text on the sign does not say “strike” in Old Egyptian.

And how many shipwrecks does the United Nations estimate are on the ocean surface?

I wonder what it says on that placard the Egyptian is holding. What’s he protesting?

Can those of us with green eyes get in on the action?
