It seems like the majority of things I’ve read about the origin of beer is focused on archeological discoveries associated with the early agricultural societies that developed in and around the Near East - was there beer/rice wine production in East and Southeast Asia as well?

Asking purely for personal curosity. All I ever see referenced is the infamy speech. There seems to be a lot on Churchhill, and while FDR was/is revered I dont often hear him quoted or mentioned a ton regarding the war. On a side note, am I just not looking hard enough?

I've been wondering a lot about why the realism of later portraiture didn't appear until the 1500-1600s. What changed during the late middle ages / early modern age that changed how art was made? Was it art movements, new acess to resources, or something else entirely?

For reference, the inscription of the aforementioned medal was "Orderi di Danilo", an Italian (?) translation of the native name for the medal. I doubt there are many Montenegro experts here, but any general information would help too.

This is not for any school assignment or anything like that. I'm just curious, so you don't have to take the time (unless you want to which I genuinely appreciate) to write long answers. Thanks in advance.

I hope this fits into the homework rules. :)

A popular folk origin for the shape of hamantaschen eaten during Purim is that Haman wore a hat in that shape. I find this explanation unsatisfying, particularly as I have a hard time believing they eore hats like that in the Persian Empire during that period. Is there any evidence for hats of this shape then? And is there a mire likely etymology for hamantaschen?

Did they have lengthy titles like European monarchs or like in Game of Thrones:

"All hail His Grace, Joffrey of Houses Baratheon and Lannister, First of His Name, King of the Andals and the First Men, Lord of the Seven Kingdoms, and Protector of the Realm."

If so, what were they?

This is done in alot of other movies and TV shows aswell would love to see a response!

My friend and I are having an argument because he said that Auschwitz was part of Germany. I keep insisting that Auschwitz was still a part of Poland but just under Germans.

​

The logic I used is just because the Philippines was under Japan for a few years doesn't make us (I'm Filipino) Japan. We were just under Japanese rule but we were still the Philippines.

​

Thank you!

It just seems unrealistic that 10.000 people would be able to keep quiet enough and all at the same time for everyone to be able to hear one person shouting? Did they use some sort of equipment? Did they relay messages to officers down the line or did they just not speak to the masses like that at all?

In 1804, seven men escaped from a New Hampshire (US) prison. A pewter key to the prison door was dropped on their way to a nearby bridge.

Question: Was it ordinary to make a key intended for practical use from a metal as soft as pewter?

The only example I could find of a pewter key was in a story of British prisoners attempting to escape from an American prison in 1799 using a key they made from a spoon. (The key broke inside the lock.)

I'm trying to determine if the 1804 key was likely to be one the jailer might have used, or an unauthorized duplicate someone made.

I’m quite a novice on the topic and don’t believe I have the full scope of the events so I thought to propose the previously listed question. I’ve done a few hours with of investigation and to my knowledge some of the factors were there luck throughout the journey or what appeared as luck such as during the siege of Antioch many were Christian in disguise waiting for the opportunity to convert back therefore the entry through the tower was extremely easy leading to a successful siege. Another factor was the boat full of wood arriving allowing for enough wood to be collected for a siege tower to lay siege to jeurasilim though this is to my knowledge the only factors so I would really appreciate some assistance with the matter. Thankyou in advance and I hope to learn further about the first crusades and what the major events were that allowed them to succeed :)

I read in a book that this was the reason Breton tried to kick him out of the surrealist movement, were his accusations correct?

My grandather has a question for you all. After WW2 and until 89' during Communism , Berlin was split in Capitalist and Communist Berlin. He wants to know how did the Capitalist part of Berlin reach out to other Capitalist countries as they were surrounded by communists. Could they just use a passport to pass the border ?

What caused them to get involved and what gain would they have gotten from it ?

I am aware that in the beginning of the American Revolution, most people didn't want to leave the Empire, they just wanted their lack of representation and perceived mistreatment by the Empire to be addressed, but when push came to shove and the Americans decided to declare independence, which colonies were the ones who were the most resistant to declaring independence from the British Empire?
