Chinahand Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 Erm Paul - I think you need to read this. Its from here: https://www.etymonline.com/word/horizon Which you seem to think is a bit of an authority on all things etymological. Believe it or not Old French isn't the originator of that many words - its a Romance Language and tends to rely on older languages. As the link explains: horizon (n.) late 14c., orisoun, from Old French orizon (14c., Modern French horizon), earlier orizonte (13c.), from Latin horizontem (nominative horizon), from Greek horizon (kyklos) "bounding (circle)," from horizein "bound, limit, divide, separate," from horos "boundary, landmark, marking stones." The h-was restored in English 17c. in imitation of Latin. Old English used eaggemearc ("eye-mark") for "limit of view, horizon." The apparent horizon is distinguished from the celestial or astronomical horizon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheTeapot Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 Here's a short film by Adam Curtis (6mins), nothing to do with flat earth mind, but to do with other stuff, tv news and propaganda mostly. Worth a look as it shows his style of film making, so you can get a little idea of what you'd be letting yourself in for if you decided to go down the rabbit hole of one of his 3 hour masterpieces. I'm not saying he's right, and he definitely makes a few leaps, but he is always interesting and thought provoking. Check his work out everyone, conspiracy fans or not.

My Greek, Latin and English are OK, thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mate? It seems that being nasty is the only way forward in this world of lies, deceit and put downs. Its also clear that people tread on the quieter people on the forum and that being bullish is whats expected by some. I don't care about hurting the fools and two faced people who comment on here now and will have my say regardless of who is on or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still though, it's a bit much calling people scum bacause their views differ to yours. Seems.....familiar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
