I am curious about the evolution of guitarra española into acoustic guitars. Can someone here tell me about that process?

I was just thinking about how the Greek pantheon of gods supposedly lived on Mt. Olympus and about that mythological story of Bellerophon, who tried to climb Mt. Olympus with Pegasus. So I was just wondering if any ancient Greek (and by ancient Greek I'm thinking about Greek people before they converted to Christianity) actually attempted to climb the mountain.

The Protestant Reformation began in 1517. Over the next century or so, Germany, France and the United Kingdom would all be involved in their own immensely destructive civil wars. In the cases of Germany and France (the 30 Years' War and the French Wars of Religion), these wars were explicitly fought between Protestants and Catholics. In the case of the UK (the English Civil Wars), we see essentially the same division: Protestant Puritans against Anglicans and Catholics. In the 21st century, lots of people have an easy time saying that everything is political, and no one goes to war for salvation or to kill heretics and apostates; there's always some underlying, foundational struggle for political power. We often hear this refrain vis-a-vis Islamic extremists in the Middle East. But in the case of the great European wars of the 16th and 17th centuries, is that view true? These were the largest conflicts Europe had ever seen, and the largest conflicts Europe would see until the World Wars of the 20th century. Is it a coincidence that they followed the Protestant Reformation — the most consequential religious division Europe had ever seen? I doubt it, but I'm not an expert. So, to what extent were these massive conflicts political struggles, and to what extent were they genuinely motivated by religious and theological differences?

I’m in the U.S and when I was a kid I asked my parents why I couldn’t pick up coins with a large magnet we had. I was told that if coins were magnetic, it would make stealing them and tricking people with them a lot easier.

I’ve been trying to research the history of coinage in the U.S. but I’m struggling to find any specific person or group that decided on the metals for the coins, and whether magnetism was a consideration, or just a coincidence.

Who proposed the early coins, and were they specifically made to not be magnetic?

For example, what year did people think they were living in in 524 AD, before our current way was introduced?

How did the Romans work out that when they brought this in it was the year 525 AD?

I personally don’t think he ever existed. From what I know Jesus was “euhemerized” meaning stories were created to make it seem like he interacted with historical figures. Archaeological evidence for Jesus doesn’t even exist. He was a fictional character

Not always but more often than not, after fighting against a common enemy, alliances break and former allies would conflict with each other. Why haven't the Triple Alliance break apart shortly and has endured for so long until the Spanish conquest?

Did the black and tans win medals down in Flanders? Did they have a wife to tell how they slew them arabs two by two? Did they fight in the middle east? Did the IRA make them run like hell away?

As an Australian kid, I did not know anything about ice hockey except for the Mighty Ducks films. I first heard of the real-life Mighty Ducks team when i played NHL '99 on the Playstation and at first I 100% thought it was a joke or gimmick inserted into the game.

I am curious about how the news was received by NHL fans and the general public, and exactly what the Disney company intended to achieve by creating the team - did they expect or intend to successfully profit directly from the team or was it originally a publicity stunt? DID they profit?

Were they always considered at least a little bit of a joke until they rebranded?

I am hoping someone can give me an answer or send me to a better place to ask this question.

Do you know of a good program to make my own custom timelines?

Of course there are hundreds on Google, but I haven't found any that support what I want to do, so let me explain:

I am a huge history fan. I love listening to podcasts about all periods of history, and my favourite is Rome. I have listened to The History of Rome and The History of Byzantium podcasts, plus material from other sources, and want to go back and re-listen while recording all important events, dates, characters, etc. I want to take this information and input it onto a timeline to help me visualize and compare things that interest me within the history.

Some Features I want or need:

-I want it to run horizontally, not vertically

-It needs to be able to have both BC and AD dates added

-I want to be able to work on different timelines and then be able to use them together. For example I'd like one that deals with wars & battles, another that deals in emperors and major characters, another that deals in cultural or political changes, etc. After I have these separate timelines I'd like to be able to turn them off or on, like a filter, to see them all together on one timeline. I hope that made sense. This isn't mandatory but would be a fantastic feature.

Thank you for any information on a place to look or a place to ask.

It’s a distinctive style of music and dance. How did socialising and dancing go from formal dances in ballrooms to disco?

Obviously the American founders wanted to prevent another oppressive royalty they were already suffering under, but why/how were they so afraid of a popular figure coming into power?

Was the "Bronze Age Collapse" an Indo-European phenomenon, and if so, did it pertain to Iran, India, Balto-Slavic, and Germanic lands? Did this occur because of a shift away from Bronze and towards Iron/Steel?

The Bronze Age Collapse sounds as if all civilizations went dark for a while. How could switching from one material to another cause a collapse in civilization, if this is the case?

Amendment 3 is the one that states that the Government can't force you to house soldiers. It's part of the Bill of Rights, but it sounds so niche and I've never heard of any major case that relied upon it. Has there been any court case or major incident where Amendment 3's protection applied?

Would it differ by rural versus urban life?

Hello, I'm working on a project that involves the four humors of medieval medicine. however I understand what they mean and what they represent but my extensive research has led me to believe that there doesn't seem to be any specific cures or treatments, or at least not that I can find.

Is there anyone who knows of any specific details on how to treat certain things? A good example would be if you're choleric than you must become either sanguinis or phlegmatic.

Which of these events were the most influential for the surrender? Thank you in advance!

I and curious why spears where phased out of military service as they where (in my opinion) one of the best weapons for melee combat as it had the reach, better against armor and cheap to make why did countries/military’s stop using spears
