Two years later, an immigration court judge determined I had rehabilitated myself, and issued an order allowing me to remain in this country. Instead of facing the prospect of deportation, I was able to take the steps necessary to ensure I would never be in that position again. As this Thanksgiving Day approaches — my first as an American citizen-- I am counting my many blessings.
The relief I feel now that I am a citizen is immense. I can rest assured that I will never be forced to leave this country, and our family will remain together. I am no longer looking over my shoulder every time I leave the house, fearful that ICE might be coming for me again.
That feeling is gone, forever. I am keeping the promise made to my children by sending them to college. Not letting them down is particularly important to me. My oldest daughter is in medical school, and two of her siblings are attending Michigan universities. Ordering From Brill.

Good ol white boys kick the shit out of them periodically to keep them in their place. Camels suck. I swear on your life you've never said or done that to a Chaldo.
I took a shit on Spartan's face. Cause I can. How's this possible? The dating of these first stamped coins is one of the most frequently debated topics in ancient numismatics, with dates ranging from BC to BC, but the most commonly held view is that they were minted at or near the beginning of the reign of King Alyattes, who ruled Lydia c. The Lydian capital Sardis was renowned as a rich and beautiful city. Around BC, near the beginning of his reign, Croesus paid for the construction of the temple of Artemis at Ephesus, which became one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.
Croesus is also famous for asking the Oracle at Delphi whether he should go to war against Persia. With typical ambiguity the oracle answered that if Croesus attacked the Persians, he would destroy a great empire. He went to war and was defeated in battle by Cyrus II of Persia in BC, with the Lydian kingdom losing its autonomy and becoming a Persian satrapy… thus destroying his own empire.
Astyages succeeded his father in BCE, following the Battle of Halys,[2] which ended a five-year war between the Lydians and the Medes. Croesus was born in c. He had a sister Aryenis who was in old enough to be married to king Astyages of Media, as part of a border treaty between Lydia and Media. She must have been two or three years older than Croesus. Another sister was married to the tyrant of the Greek city Ephesus, Melas. Finally, Croesus had a half-brother Pantaleon, the son of king Alyattes and a Greek woman.
Caria and the Carians are mentioned for the first time in the cuneiform texts of the Old Assyrian and Hittite Empires, i. The country was called Karkissa. They are absent from the Egyptian texts of this period. After a gap of some four centuries in which they are mentioned only once below , the first to mention the Carians is the legendary Greek poet Homer. In the Catalogue of ships, he tells that they lived in Miletus, on the Mycale peninsula, and along the river Meander. In the fifth century, the Greeks thought that the Carians had arrived in Caria from the islands of the Ionian Sea, whereas the Carians claimed to be indigenous.
Homer confirms their story. It is also confirmed by modern linguistics: the Carian language belongs to the Hittite-Luwian subfamily of the Indo-European languages.
It is related to Lycian and Lydian, the languages spoken to the southeast and north of Caria. Note Indo European means indo aryan kurds, persians , Indians India indo aryan settled all through out india , Afghanistan ect. Lydia, ancient land of western Anatolia, extending east from the Aegean Sea and occupying the valleys of the Hermus and Cayster rivers.
The Lydians were said to be the originators of gold and silver coins. During their brief hegemony over Asia Minor from the middle of the 7th to the middle of the 6th century bc, the Lydians profoundly influenced the Ionian Greeks to their west. In the 7th century bc Lydia filled the vacuum left by the Cimmerian destruction of Phrygia and established a dynasty at Sardis under the legendary king Gyges.
The kingdom reached its zenith under Alyattes c. The Lydians were a commercial people, who, according to Herodotus, had customs like the Greeks and were the first people to establish permanent retail shops. Their invention of metallic coinage, which the Greeks quickly adopted, played an important part as a catalyst in the commercial revolution that transformed Greek civilization in the 6th century bc.
He was the first foreigner so far as we know to come into direct contact with the Greeks, both in the way of conquest and alliance, forcing tribute from Ionians, Aeolians, and Asiatic Dorians, and forming a pact of friendship with the Spartans.
Aubrey de Selincourt] This is a bit exaggerated. So Lydian involvement in the Greek world was nothing new. What did matter, however, was that Croesus captured nearly all Greek towns along the west coast of Asia. Even more important, when he was defeated by the Persian king Cyrus the Great, these towns became part of the Achaemenid empire. According to Herodotus, this was the cause of the great conflict between Greeks and Persians in the first quarter of the fifth century.
Without any doubt Croesus was the crown prince. He served some time as governor of Adramyttion, the capital of Mysia and the Troad, which was the usual position given to the intended heir of the Lydian king.
Yet, when Astyages died in c. Eventually, Croesus was saved by his baker, and after much bloodshed the thirty-five year old man could establish himself as sole ruler of Lydia. According to Herodotus,. The regime change must have resulted in a change of policy, and Croesus may have laid siege to the town because it had seized to support Lydia.
However this may be, the conflict was ultimately settled peacefully, and Croesus rebuilt the temple of Artemis. He subsequently attacked all the Ionian and Aeolian cities in turn on various pretexts, substantial or trivial, according to what ground of complaint he could find against them.
He forced all Asiatic Greeks to pay him tribute. Only Miletus, which had been granted a special status by Alyattes, retained some independence, but essentially, all Greeks in Asia Minor were subdued to Croesus. This included Pergamon, which had useful metal mines. The Greeks living on the islands were tied to the Lydian empire by a treaty. When all these nations had been added to the Lydian empire and Sardes was at the height of her wealth and prosperity, all Greek teachers of that epoch, one after another, paid visits to the capital.
Among these Greeks were the author of fables Aesopus, the Athenian statesman Solon, and the scientist Thales of Miletus. They returned home with stories about the fabulous wealth of Sardes, which the Lydian king also put on display in Delphi, the shrine of Apollo.
However, Croesus was not always lucky. He had two sons. One of them was mute and therefore unfit to rule. His other son, Atys, was in Mysia perhaps at Adramyttion, the palace of the crown prince when he died during a hunting accident. According to Herodotus, our main source, Croesus grieved for the death of his son for two years, until news from the east put an end to his mourning. In , the Median empire, which was separated from Lydia by the river Halys, had been overthrown by a Persian named Cyrus, and Croesus wanted to benefit from this turmoil.
He might, for example, conquer Cappadocia and Armenia. But Cyrus was a formidable foe, and therefore, the Lydian allied himself to the pharaoh of Egypt, Amasis. It is not known why Amasis accepted the deal. Finally, after consulting the oracle of Delphi and leaving many presents , the Lydians asked and received support from the Spartans. Perhaps, this was also the time when the first Jews settled in Sardes. The evidence is weak, but it has been claimed that the Sepharad mentioned in Obadiah 20 lived in Sfard, the old name of Sardes.
It was the extraordinary Greek civilization which, with its natural and simple hairstyles moving in harmonious waves, marked the hairstyle of the Ancient world. All the neighbor countries and the others conquered by them, will adopt, in one or another moment, its particular style, which later will be inherited by the Roman Empire.
The Ancient Greece was the base and the fundamental pillar of al the Occidental culture. Its costumes, architecture, philosophy, and mythological traditions were inherited by the posterior centuries and were present in the Renaissance and in the 18th and 19th centuries.
The most ancient Greek civilization was the Minoic civilization of the Island of Crete, which existed from the year 7. In this year they were invaded by the Indo-Europeans from the North West, who founded the Micenic civilization.
Through the testimonies of vases and mural paintings we know that the people of these periods were of white skin, with black hair in the Minoic civilization and blond hair in the Micenic civilization. Men used natural hair, wavy and beards. Married women used long hair with long braids, as a sign of their marital status. This hairstyle with long hair and braids is also found in all the representations of goddesses, like Athena, Artemisia, Aphrodite o Cassandra.
Near the 5th century BC, in the Classic Greece period, women already used quite different hairstyles than those of their ancestors of the Minoic civilization. Their hair was long, shoulder-length or over the back, and usually held by a diadem or a band. In this period, women stop to use braids as a symbol of marital status. Greeks used to perfume their heads with aromatic scents made from flowers, spices and olive oil.
They believed that the scents had been delivered to the world by the gods, and they applied fragrances to their body and their hair. They used to boil a mix of flowers and herbs, like myrrh or frankincense, preparing a recipe with olive oil. To soften the hair, they applied brushing and massages. Also they made the hair brighter with the use of lotions, ointments and beeswax.
Most of the population of the Ancient Greece had black hair, and for that reason they used yellow dyes, -which was, undoubtedly, their favorite color-, using a mix of saffron flowers and potassium water a mix of potassium bicarbonate and carbonic acid water. Today saffron, derived from the purple saffron crocus flower, is one of the most expensive spices in the world. Due to its extreme value, the beautiful purple saffron crocus is not likely to be used in floral arrangements by Avas Flowers.
