Hookah is from the middle east so that is your heritage
Thank you for the spell check; I did mean glacier not glassier. But to be honest, a glacier bridge would look very much like a glassier bridge
In those days much of that area was frozen. You cannot operate boats over frozen body of water and besides back then humans did not have boats.
oh---ok-----they didn't have roulette wheels back then
either. HOOKAHS are universal-----not all people
want their "BHANG'" in their lassi. ------uhm-----my
culture does not do HOOKAH----it does NARGILA---which -----kinda (don't tell anyone) means something
like-----joy flame----sorta.........go up north to find HOOKAH LAND------I think the word is Persian ????
Well, hookah is not Indian. It is middle eastern. India is in the far east. That is why you have tighter claim on hookah than myself
Anyway, I think bhaang is Indian.
Coming back to the topic, why do you think they had roulette wheel back then?
good question As far as I recall-----a roulette wheel---as we know it today---DEPENDS on written numbers and letters. The American Indians----and even the INUITS of Alaska-----and even the native americans of South America-----the Aztecs, Mayans---etc----DID NOT HAVE AN ALPHABET----or written numbers------HOWEVER they had all kinds of different symbols----
They did not have metal ball bearings but ---they certainly had agates. They could very well have had
some sort of game----which was like a roulette wheel----
but------get this-----something I learned in school---
THEY DID NOT HAVE ****THE WHEEL******
as to the HOOKAH-----google suggests it is PERSIAN---
Persia--stretched all the way to AFGHANISTAN------
and -----KUBLA KHAN ----had magic carpets with
which he regularly visited india-------you can't get away from the MOGHUL INFLUENCE------I have no doubt
they toted a few hookahs-----and were delighted with
your BHAANG-------sometimes it's not easy to find HASHISH. ---------it's CALLED ****FUSION****
cuisine. I never saw a CARDAMOM pod-----until I worked with a Saudi ----who regularly pulled one out of
his pocket to drop into his coffee. Of course I asked about the mysterious seed-------now based on my life of FUSION-----I travel out to the nearest INDIAN grocery---
to get them for hubby who seems to be unable to live
without them-------so there------keep your bhang in your lassi You put cardamom in that too? Did you know that SCANDANAVIANS are addicted to cardamom?----
I shall return to my NARGILA
After reading your post, I think I can use some of that Nargila stuff
very convenient-----I am told-----you put your 'stuff'----
in some receptacle-----that holds a simple hot coal----
like a little cup thing with flexible tubes emerging from it----the tubes are fitted with a mouth piece----ending up like a pipe-----and YOU INHALE the smoke-----fixed up with
the substances of your choice. The apparatus itself
is decorative-------people using it should be reclining on
rugs and cushions----at the very least. I have no doubt the apparatus will become popular in the USA-----based
on the LEGALIZATION of BHAANG----khat is still
illegal-------I am not sure that it is smokable
anyway. ---------my big problem is one I share with
CLINTON------I cannot INHALE
