Kalash of Cultures - Pakistan: http://youtu.be/qEXnEfdvv6s The argument: 1. Watch the video; this Dardic mountain tribe plays polo. They fiercely fought for their independence through the ages, till the British arrived; at which point they adopted some British customs like playing polo on weekends (although they claim they invented the game first). 2. The Kalasha have lived in geographic isolation for so long that their DNA has diverged. But, there are markers to suggest that they come from around the Mediterranean(that is, that they are Dardic). There are 2 theories as to how they got there: a. They were travellers along the silk route who decided to settle in a scenic location and sell spices, apricots and cherries (the latter two do not grow in the subcontinent, only in the Mediterranean; and with no contact with the outside world for centuries, there's no other way they could've gotten these fruits) b. They are descendants of Alexander the Great 's armies; who ref...
The old investigation board at NianticProject.com was a timeline of sorts, and the niantic wiki at niantic.schlarp.com should have some good info.
ReplyDeleteJoJo Stratton were you working on a timeline at some point? It was mentioned so long ago I don't remember who it was that was working on it.
If we were to create a timeline, Ron Raido, what do you think would be more useful or interesting? I timeline ordered by when the documents dropped, or when the events described in the documents are supposed to have taken place? This is something I've thought about a lot actually, but I haven't come to a solid decision which would be better (mostly because a lot of the documents would be very difficult to put an exact date on).
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking about when the event take place, such as when Niantic Project started? When Kureze died? When Roland Jarvis get shot and revived?
ReplyDeleteI was watching Ingress Year One, Ingress Year Two video and come to realization that even Ingress has started way earlier than November 2012, the beta release date!
The timeline info that exists in the wiki was being created by date the document appeared. I've not really had time to work on a "event" timeline for Niantic. It would be an awesome thing to have - I know a few others started timelines such as Linda Besh but again not sure there is a timeline that is finished.
ReplyDeleteI just looked at Timeline JS and it looks cool - let me explore that a little more and if anyone else is working on a timeline project, please post here....
ReplyDeleteI think Linda Besh had one a while back
ReplyDeleteWe should make a complete one!
ReplyDeleteLinda Besh I want to help too - also I am researching that Timeline JS - I am seeing if we can bring it into the wiki
ReplyDeletethe JS is awesome if we can as it uses a google sp[readsheet for the data and if you update the spreadsheet it updates the timeline
Linda Besh Java Script,

I think it can be easily embedded to niantic.schlarp.com
