Talk:History of the Twelve Colonies/Archive 1

Be wary while editing the murkier areas of Colonial history, lest we descend from reasonable speculation into all-out fanfiction. I offer this link to an old version of History of the Twelve Colonies of Kobol as a warning. --Peter Farago 19:00, 18 September 2005 (EDT)

Fragged Cut Scene

Nice catch, Ricimer. --Peter Farago 22:24, 12 December 2005 (EST)

Actually, for all we know ancient Egyptians "actually" had space travel, like Stargate, and humans from Earth left to colonize Kobol in our relative PAST (though this would have been like 5,000 years ago).--The Merovingian ^{(C - E)} 20:35, 16 April 2006 (CDT)

This is a fruitless line of inquiry. --Peter Farago 20:42, 16 April 2006 (CDT)

Pythia.jpg

I added Image:Pythia.jpg with this article in mind, but now I don't have a good idea where to fit it. (Merv beat me to placing an image.) I went ahead and added it over to Sacred Scrolls, which looks like it could use an image anyway. There's also some pics of the scrolls being soaked in rain (if those would be useful). --Steelviper 09:17, 7 July 2006 (CDT)

I like it, and I don't get the relevance of Merv's image. Can someone explain it to me? --Peter Farago 09:20, 7 July 2006 (CDT)

Maybe it's a history museum (and the fact that it held the arrow)? Maybe we should just swap in the magnified pythia pic? --Steelviper 09:26, 7 July 2006 (CDT)

Images that might work here:

Image:Lagoonnebula.jpg - "Life here began out there."

Image:Pythia.jpg - "...the oracle Pythia recorded her prophecy..."

Image:Gates of hera.jpg - "In despair, Athena threw herself from the Gates of Hera..."

Image:Centurion_armor_old.jpg - "The Colonials also created a line of robots, called Cylons..."

Image:Monclair.jpg - for section "The Cylon War".

Image:Armistice Station.jpg - "Colonials established a neutral meeting place, Armistice Station..."

More ideas later. --Peter Farago 10:00, 7 July 2006 (CDT)

The first three are great. The old centurion ends up being a bit too "tall", though. I love the color that the pics add. Much more vibrant. --Steelviper 13:48, 7 July 2006 (CDT)

Nevermind. I see what you were going for now. I was looking at them section by section, but it flows a lot better as a whole (especially without those pesky breaks added in there). --Steelviper 13:53, 7 July 2006 (CDT)

Oh I was trying to get a clear shot that said "Delphi Museum of the Colonial History", which would have made more sense, but although the words are clearly visible on a TV screen they never zoom in, and there really aren't any good "keeper" shots of the title. Yeah, delete that. I'm going to find a better pick of that Monclair painting, that would be best. --The Merovingian ^{(C - E)} 11:23, 7 July 2006 (CDT)
