1-I NEVER lie, I didn't vote, and if I voted, I'd tell you.
2-It's 1800 or something like that. it's a Huge book. Sadly, it's not with me now, so I can't give you the exact words.
3-@Merc... Why not Iraq?.. Still it's better than China! |

Has it ever occurred to you guys that:
1- china may have been a phrase in arabic/persian that represented a far away land, rather than the current, modern country of China? So when they say that Aladdin's father was a somebody in china, they may mean "once upon a time in a kingdom far away" type of a deal? Also, when you have a story "in a kingdom far away", the architecture in that kindgom is inveriably always familiar to the writer of the story.
2- Aladdin travelled. So, him being born in 'china', does not necessarily have to mean that he performed his adventures there as well.

1-I already told him that on another thread... Not that but it may be an error in translation between "Sind", "Hind" & "Sin"
2-In the original story, he didn't travel. |

BTW: When I said "It's still better", I meant that voting for Persia is still better than voting for China.
About the book: It's at my friend's. |

I was kidding about that Iraq is not batter (you know, because the mass that is going on there right now..)
Nobody, there was no translation Mistake... Thats how ther story goes...
And voting for china is a smarter thing then voting for Iraq or persia, tommorow, Ask him for the book... You'll see that i am right...
Im the only one with a proofe here, And jaz also have a proofe... but does any of you (the ppl that voted parsia) Have a proofe?
Sorry if im agrassive |

I voted for Persia before reading Jaz’s post. If Jaz says it was China then I change my vote. Thought it should be noted that MoonDragon made an interesting point/theory.
Was modern Iran part of Persia? I don’t know where the borders where but when I think of Persia in modden terms I think of Turkey.
*No not the bird! |

Strangely, I never find you agressive. Sometimes dumb, sometimes funny, sometimes annoying, but never agressive.
About proofs: Neo has one (the film), Jaz was kidding. I'm sure of it. And I'll get the book as soon as I can. |

Why 3-2? It's 4-1! Only Roach said that it wasn't persia! Jaz didn't vote(because she wasn't sure.)
Edit: Persia was : Iran+Turkey(sp?)! |
