    “Veni, Vidi, Vici”  That is supposedly a historically accurate quote.I have always wondered if Alexander did in fact weep that he had nothing left to conquer.

    “Pleased to meet you” dates back 2000 years to the Indo-European language Latvian, the same phrase can be traced back to the Estonian, Uralic language of about the same time period. It is suggestive of a parting of the Proto-Indo-European language of the ancient Silk Road, 9,000 years ago.
