This is probably no more complete travel destination that in excess
to UK as well as Japan. Too many purposes that people visit
UK cities such as London, Southampton, Liverpool, Birmingham,
Manchester and others cities. It is realized that UK has the
most largest influence in the worked, see from the use of
English as world's communication. Toward the 20th century
a large part of the countries in the world entered the Kingdom
commonwealth. In Asia itself for example Malaysia, Hongkong,
India, Egypt, and others. The superiority of England in the
past is said to have been due to their strong navy, who could
resist the fierce world war II. Today England offers great
tourism destination, from old age building architecture along
the Themes and cities such as London, Southampton, Liverpool,
Birmingham, and Manchester. UK has megalithic tradition called
stonehenge which is still a mystery of how people could transport
and arrange such a massive stone blocks. A team of archaeologists and
engineers have been organized to study and trace back to the effort
of the ancient people in building the stonehenge as reported
by National Geographic magazine. The stonehenge thought to
have been erected between 2500 BC. Until 410 AD the influence
of Roman as strong as on the southern part of the island, and
reports from Rome about the Gaelic language and Celtic language
being spoken on the island. The withdraw of Roman from Britain
by 410 AD, followed by successive raids by ethnics ( barbarians
) from continent such as Germanic-Slavic, Frisian and Saxon
from north west Germany, who then known as Anglo-Saxon tribe.
This new people had changed the culture of British Romanized
people ( the Britons ). Archaeologists found that no genetical
impact has been found to the Britons yet high Anglo-Saxon
frequency is thought to have been due to birth rate. In 829
AD the Vikings from the land of Germany made many raids on
Britain and settle the island at York. The rule of Viking
left some traces in Old English words. Starting the middle
Age England entered the stage of more stable kingdom with
the strong involvement of the Church. It is often that the
middle age of Europe, including Britain is called a dark Age. With
the birth of many empirical scientist as opposed to Church
doctrine then Europe step by step entering the world of powerful
status. From this long history of UK, now the country preserves
excellent historical interests and a combination of cultures
that shaped the present stage that made the county is always
interesting to visit. London which preserves Roman, France,
Germanic and the original spirit of the Britons is one of
the most interesting place to visit in Europe.
