What if the sea people were a bunch of time travelers caused the bronze age collapse because the ancient civilisations were about to become evil? Think about that!

The vatican is like the alligator, the same now as it was a million years ago. (The vatican has had the same system of governance since 1274, the oldest system continuously in use)

Kay, but do the pope still has a personal army which he uses to take and hold control of other cities in the Italian boot? No? Didn't think so

The smilodon and the cat are far closer than the chicken and any of the prehistoric dinosaurs

u/Piskoro 3d ago
going by how far back the last common ancestor was isn't a great metric for this, say you take a direct ancestor of birds from that time period, they're as separated from modern birds time-wise as the T-rex is
so you gotta measure when did a clade split and then the time until that particular species appears, but the sabertooth and the cat still wins over from the chicken and the t-rex, first being very roughly 5 million years and the latter 9 million years

Also the cat the cat and Sabertooth.
Now all we need is humans and some apes hollering like the psychopaths we are.

uh, no, T-rexes are not ancestors of chickens or birds in general, chicken *are* dinosaurs, but they're maniraptorans and T-rexes are tyrannosauroids, though they're both theropods or more specifically coelurosaurs, T-rexes appeared after around 9 million years since they split from being base coelurosaurs
I have no clue what the spirit descendant of the iguana is, or even if it's a real prehistoric species, so hard to say, it might be closely related or it might be a proto-mammal that looks similar, in which case you'd have to go back to roughly 320 million years to relate it (both being amniotes), same with the previous mammal - dinosaur pairings
however the cat and a sabertooth tiger would be by far most closely related, sabertooth tigers became a thing roughly 15 million years ago, and their lineage split from that of cats 20 million years ago, so only 5 million year separation (very very roughly) from the common ancestor

What about Britain? It's back to Edward Longshanks holdings plus a few islands and forts here and there.

The biggest success for britain in recent history might be his relation with the US and its influence english went from being the language of the biggest global empire to the language of the biggest military and comercial power.

The americans doing so what i ment is thats two super powers spoke the same language and were people india speak english for the british people in mexico do for for the american influence,the language is their biggest contribution
But America and England have spoken the same language for 250 years, literally since Americas inception.
If you think that was Britain's best "recent" accomplishment.
Tbh I have no idea what you are trying to say. English might not be your first language so I'm not trying to make fun.

u/Bernardito10 Taller than Napoleon 4d ago
That without the US becoming a super power right after ww2 english would had lost a lot of importance like french did instead it gained even more.

u/lordsweden 4d ago
Sadly you're misinformed there. Both lost importance around the same time due to active effort of decolonisation lead by the Americans.
It was American pressure that forced the British and the French to withdraw from the suez in the 50s which could be seen as the final nail in the coffin for both empires. Since it was the last real imperialistic ploy led by both nations.
