Unreferenced date February 2007 Camel archers are marksman marksmen wielding bow weapon bows mounted on camel s. They took their popularity in the Crusades , used in Arabia, Asian and Eurasian countries. Saladin , the leader of Arabia from 1174 to 1193, was known, or rather believed to use camels as a substitute for other ways of transport, such as the more common horse. Also, Darius III of Persia who ruled from 336 BC to 330 BC was known to counter Alexander the Great s attacks with camel mounted warriors. Although camel archers can be looked into deeply enough, many regions of the world who did have access to camels preferred to use the generally swifter and stronger horse archer.

Camel cavalry , or camelry , is a generic designation for armed forces using camel s as a means of transportation . Sometimes warriors or soldiers of this type also fought from camel back with spears, bows or rifles.

They provided a mobile element better suited to work and survive in an arid and waterless environment than the horses of conventional cavalry.

Orphan date September 2010 The camel walk is a ragtime dance that was popular in the 1960s. James Brown often used this dance in his routine when he performed on stage. Origin The camel walk originated as a ragtime dance in the early 20th century. It was referred to as an animal ragtime dance , due to the nature of the dance. The Dance The original camel walk started out in vaudeville shows during the early part of the 20th Century. It became popular with college students, most notably flapper s , as a social dance during the 1910s and 1920s. The dance received disapproval from the general public, as the female dancers would often rest their shoulders upon the lead dancer s shoulder as they danced. This was seen as vulgar at the time. Despite the negative reputation, the camel walk remained popular through much of the 20th century. 1950s 1960s Variant The camel walk entered the 1950s and 1960s as a retro dance. However, unlike the group dance that it was in the 1920s, this version of the camel walk was more of a solo act. One notable performer of this dance was James Brown, who performed it when doing concerts and stage shows. Parts of the 1950s 1960s camel walk were used in Michael Jackson s version of the memorable moonwalk dance . References http www.streetswing.com histmain z3camel.htm Camel Walk.

The Admiralty of Amsterdam assigned a reward for this success to the inventor . The camel was mostly used in the Golden age Dutch Golden Age for accessing the shallow waters at Pampus, which were unreachable for large merchant ships. Instead of a real ship camel, sometimes light sailing ships were used to lift a ship. The merchant ship was raised from the middle and after that, if the direction of the wind was successful, the ship could sail on to Amsterdam . The difficulties of getting stuck by sea ships in the Zuidersea led, in the beginning of the 19th century to build a canal through Waterland a Dutch region and Marken .
