Start with the Amazons, further to Iason and to Prometheus...,... the wine and the tasty roasted pigHanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06081946944668235348noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12409554.post-72463643581645610952007-01-22T21:47:00.000+03:002007-01-22T21:47:00.000+03:00Pretty difficult question indeed.

It has been discussed for centuries now, from the geographic point of view as well as from the cultural point of view.<br /><br />Geographical the Caucasus may lay inside or outside of Europe (depending which geologic fault you take as the border), but culturally it belongs without a doubt to Europe, even Azerbaijan.<br /><br />Is the Elbrus now Europe's highest mountain? - I think the French ("la grande nation") will know to prevent this. ;-)<br /><br />But don't worry: with Mexico is happening something very similar. Geographically it belongs to North America (Central America starts at the Istmus of Tehuantepec) - but ask any <em>gringo</em> about it and they'll deny it.<br /><br />So it goes. Who's got the power at the moment determines who's in and who's out.rolandmexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08669368239879200175noreply@blogger.com
