1. The Power of America

Slightly Adapted from the original:
... United States of America. When your country has the largest airforce and navy and have more aircraft than the rest of the world, and the only nation to be able to ship more than 300,000 soldiers anywhere within a day... Not only is america light years ahead of any country it also has military bases located in all continents. And navy bases scattered throughout the oceans, thats kinda a feat. Fun fact: The second largest navy in the world is the United States Air Force. Also another fun fact: the second largest airforce in the world in the United States Navy. Also america is the only nation to successfully launch jets off movable objects. Hence carriers. No country has ever produced more than 20,000,000 million soldiers within 15 years except The United States of America. ... the most heavily fortified place on this globe is the U.S.S. George Bush.

2. Newly Discovered: Tribe of Dan and "The biggest shipyard that has been proven archaeologically in the world!"
===============================
Brit-Am Note:
The article below refers to a site ascribed to the Dananu in what is now northern Syria-Southeast Turkey. We believe the Dananu were an offshoot of the Tribes of Dan.

Extract::
Solinus [ca. 200 CE] said that before the rise of Assyria, Cilicia was one of the four great powers of Asia. Cilicia was the region from which the Dananu made their power effective.

Huge ancient shipyard unearthed on Turkey's Dana Island

Extracts:
A huge shipyard, believed to be the oldest in the world, has been discovered on Dana Island in the southern province of Mersin's Silifke district.
Academics believe that the huge shipyard, which includes nearly 270 slipways, could shed light on the 400-year 'Dark Ages' of the Mediterranean over 1,000 years B.C.
'This is the one and only in the world. The biggest shipyard that has been proven archaeologically in the world,' said Hakan Oniz, the head of Selcuk University's Underwater Archaeology Department.
He also added that they had determined the existence of archaeological wreckages in the region. 'But the most exciting for us was an iron spur that we found at a depth of 35 meters and that was used as the weapon of warships in ancient ages. Such an iron spur has been found for the first time in the world,' Oniz said.
The team has carried out works from west to east on the Seljuk 1 Scientific Research Ship and is continuing to work around the Dana Island, located two kilometers off the coast.
'During works in 2016, we also unearthed a huge shipyard where 274 ships could be built at the same time. It is the only such shipyard in the world. We are continuing work to try to date it. Most probably it is the oldest shipyard in the world. We estimate that it was used around 1,200 B.C. in the Late Bronze Age,' he said.
Island of the Denyen
Stating that the Dana Island most probably was known as the island of the Denyen, named the 'Sea People' in the 12th century, Oniz said the Denyens were first mentioned by the Hittite King Telipinu around 1,500 B.C. 'The Adania region, which King Telipinu mentioned, is the region of Adana and Mersin today,' he added....
'But this story is not limited to the Deneyns and the Hittites. We know of the existence of the late Hittite kingdoms in the Cilicia region in the Iron Age. We know that they resisted against the New Babylon Kingdom that wanted their iron and grain. The name of the island became Pitusu in the Iron Age. The King of Babylon Neriglissar described Pitusu as a 'mountain in the middle of the sea.' He said he attacked it and 6,000 soldiers on this small island resisted against him. The existence of those 6,000 people reveals that the island continued serving as a shipyard in the Iron Age too,' Oniz said.

3. Links between Ancient Egypt and Scandinavia
[Germanic-L] Re: The Salme Shops
on the question of bronze age contacts with the Mediterranean. There is a new issue of the journal AiD - Oct/Nov. 2016 ("Archaolgie in Deutschland"- Archaeology in Germany) which is dedicated to the Nordic Bronze Age in northern Germany and Scandinavia. The journal includes an article (pp. 32) on glass beads and folding chairs found on southern Jutland, Holstein and the Mecklenburg coast, which came from Egypt. In other words there is evidence for a trading route that ran from the area of the Nordic Bronze Age all the way down to Egypt in the second millennium BC.
