		Poland underwent partition, German-speaking empires appeared to absorb the Czechs for many centuries, and the Ottomans in their hey-day dominated the Balkan Slavs.
		The Slavs living in Brandenburg and Pomerania were exterminated or assimilated by Germans in the course of the Drang nach Osten; Turkish incursions suppressed the regional hegemonies of Bulgarian and Serbian speakers; Poland suffered decline, partition and extinction as a separate national state in the 18th century.

		Today's Czech Republic was later populated by dinosaurs of all sorts, and later by neanderthals and even by mammoths.
		In fact, the Latin name for the Czech lands, "Boiohaemum" (Bohemia), is derived from the name of the Boii Celtic tribe; and the Czech name for the Moldau River (which flows through the capital city of Prague) is Vltava - which is said to come from the Celtic "Vlt" meaning wild, and "Va" meaning water.
		The Czech Celts were in part chased out of the region and in part assimilated by the next peoples to inhabit the area: the Germanic Marcomanni and Quadi tribes from the west and the Romans from the south.

		The Lech face 3D model, was one of the best 3D models I had created so far in my experience of 3D modelling and animation up until that point, including fine details such as eye lashes, eye ducts, teeth, gums and tongue.
		The 3D model of Lech's face has a fair amount of detail due to the fact that there will be close-ups of the characters' faces in the film.
		I used Lech's face to test out the morphing technique, but firstly I had to solve the problem of attaching the moustache to the face, so I would have one singular object to animate, rather than two objects.
