Spanish translation:

Yo veo la gente montando a los caballos gritando, las nubes llevando de la chispa escapade de los fuegos en sus caminos refulgir la vida sin de usted .

"I see people riding on shrieking horses, steering clouds o sparkbelching fires on their way to flame life out of you."- Mahd al-Aadiyya (4000 BCE)

Veo gente montando relinchantes caballos, haciendole el quite a nubes (de polvo?) o fuegos llenos de chispas/chispeantes en su camino a sacarte la vida con fuego.

No.......:lol::lol:

The sentence speaks of people mounting their horses and they (the people) are yelling and screaming.....not the horses!

:whistling:

I translated the English sentence. The Spanish is sketchy at best too. :-)

:thinking: Well, I'm not sure, but I think that in "riding on shrieking horses", "shrieking" is referred to horses, not to people. I could say "riding on white horses". In can't see any difference. :confused:

Another thing would be: I've seen shrieking people riding...

Am I wrong? :thinking:

No, you are not wrong.

Now, shrieking is not the the same as neighing but I took it as such. Had to.

Maybe here "shrieking" means "neighing". I've studied that the adjective modifies the following noun. So a "white house" means "una casa blanca", and "people in a white house" would mean "gente en una casa blanca" (nothing to see withe the White House, of course :D)

I thought horses whinnied, but they probably neigh also. I'm no member of the horsey set. :rolleyes: To whinny is the verb.

Wordreference says both neigh and whinny for "relinchar" :confused:

Both are correct, but different sounds. Anyway, I used to ride a lot, and I don't actually remember a horse being able to whinny or neigh when you are in motion, especially galloping. They have to toss their heads to do it, so they can't if a rider is in control. This would suggest that it is not the horses making the noise. :D:D

Edit: I now understand that the English is in no way a faithful translation of the Arabic anyway, so ignore this post. And 4000 BCE is very hard to believe.

I've made a search and I've seen that the older documents written were from 3.300 a.C.

¿Exactamente cuándo fue 4000BCE? ¿Alrededor 2000BC? Ese hombre pudo escribir bueno por ese tiempo:)

4000BCE = 4000 B.C. I don't believe it, apart from which you never know to what extent the translation has improved or spoiled the original, even assuming anyone can read really ancient Arabic with confidence. :thinking:

Sí , de 4000BC me espero algo así "man go on horse man hunt":D, pero quizás los cavemen fueron más inteligentes que pensemos

Well... no él
