Old School Real Estate
As the above depicts, borders are transitory and we are barely out of the tribal stage of co-existence...
A 1000 years of Europe in 5 minutes, things get pretty dicey toward the end.
I recently watched a doc on the Discovery Channel called "America Before Columbus". It basically depicts how the new world, far from being an uninhabited Wal-Mart for Europe on Black Friday, was actually a populated paradise, filled with millions of inconvenient natives. Until , the above shown Europeans, fresh from a few thousand years of squalor, disease and general destruction and pillaging of their large continent, took the show on the road to the new world. The really fascinating part, is how quickly the contagions they brought with them in their explorations, took care of the "inconvenient native" problem. Within a few decades, both the north and south american populations....were wiped out. Leaving a lush verdant new world to be utterly raped for the next few centuries. Manifest destiny indeed.
Mankind; The toxic mold devouring it's only home.
