I’m just curious, since i am Vietnamese; people said that I’m not asian since i have a cleft chin.

It is considered a caucasian trait in general, but can be found in other peoples as well.

I’m just curious. I just saw this documentary about eskimos and their house only has one room for the whole family and there is no toilet or bathroom. and it’s like 30-50 degrees below zero there all year round. and i’d imagine it would feel even colder when you’re wet..

In Arctic and sub-arctic conditions, the primary concern is keeping warm. Regular bathing, such as a daily shower, is suitable for warmer climates but in those Northern conditions, conserving body heat is a primary concern, so bathing is not essential, especially in an environment where bacteria have a hard time thriving too. In pre-modern times Eskimos regularly anointed their bodies with whale oil. These days, living in igloos is rare and they have heated houses. They bathe far more regularly because they also go out on the ice and water hunting whale far less frequently, as they used to.

They were by no means alone in this either. For many generations in Britain during pre-Industrial Revolution Times, bathing was actually considered unhealthy and dangerous..! It was common to here speak thus: ‘I bathe once a year, whether I need it or not..!’

THEY JUST CUT A HOLE IN THE ICE AND JUMP IN

Im just wondering cause i really don’t know, did they just like disappear or did they evolve into something we can see today?

No. the line of saber-toothed and dirk-toothed cats have all become extinct. they were less intelligent and less adaptable then the modern day big cats or panthera line which are the tiger, lion, leopard and jaguar. coupled with the changing environment and mass megafauna extinction of prey animals at the end of the last ice-age, competition with other hunters, the introduction of human peoples into the americas, they were simply "out evolved," by the other predators of the time. The modern day clouded leopard does have the longest canines in relation to body size of any existing feline but they are not a direct descendent of the saber or dirk toothed cats.

They went extinct. They were the top of the top, they had no need to evolve.

I’m looking for a few really good sights for a novel I’m working on. (yes I’m 15 and writing a novel, that shows how much of a life I have.)Anyways, I’m looking for things on these following topics:
Architecture
Mythology
Tombs
Culture
Society
Pharaohs Lives
History
And anything else that may be useful when writing a fiction novel.This is going to be a mystery novel, so if anyone has any good ideas that would be good.(I’m thinking of calling it "Tomb of the Forgotten Pharaoh", or "The Last Pharaoh’s tomb."If anyone has any good titles too, I would happily take them.I need answers, so please don’t stop after only a few answers.I’m building up a biography, so I need as much as possible.

P.S.I have google searched multiple times (fairly unsuccessfully) and I do plan to go to the library, but I have absolutely no idea where to start so….
HELP!?!?!

Have you read Christian Jacq novels?

I guess you have, maybe his Ramses suite, easy to read and the most famous among smart teens.
I you haven’t, go for it.
It depict everyday life of a pharaoh, his youth, his buddies, the power, the battles…
or may be The Stone of Light among workmen of in the Valley of the Kings.
And The Tutankhamun Affair seems closer to your subject

I’m looking for any decent books or websites about the Luwian culture of ancient Anatolia. I’ve been studying the Hittite Empire, and they are frequently mentioned as an important group within the empire, but seldom discussed in detail. There are interesting bits here and there about them being Indo-Europeans, and possibly being the original inhabitants of Troy. I find these tiny pieces of information both fascinating and maddening, and I want to know more about who the Luwians were as a people.

I think the most authoritative recent reference is:

Melchert, H. Craig ed, The Luwians, Boston: Brill Academic Publishers, 2003, ISBN 90-04-13009-8

It might be on Google Books, or in the nearest University library.

I agree: some of those less well-known peoples are fascinating!

Hope it helps.
