Any good museums that feature such elements within Belgium, would also be appreciated!

Both bows have feathers on the arrow, for example. Would a bow be a basic tool that every society would naturally create? Even if not in contact with other societies?
Sorry for my bad english!

This is my first post, so please forgive formatting problems.

So slaves had to save up about 12oz of silver for their frelsis-öl all told (6oz before, 6oz after). What did they do with the silver while they were saving it up? Did their owner hold it for them and keep a tally (on a stick or something) or did the slave keep it themselves? If so, did they keep it physically on them at all times or would they have somewhere safe to put their few belongings (clothes and whatnot) such as a chest?

This has been bugging me for ages, so any help is appreciated. TIA

I’ve heard this Story a few times, but I don’t know if it’s true. All I know is that at the end of WW2, the Wehrmacht fought against the SS. I would really appreciate an answer, thank you.

Were there any laws before prohibition regarding alcohol, such as an age restriction or laws against drinking in public?

I recently stumbled upon the term "mensch" and I was corious how that term made it into English, especially with it's meaning as a really good person, when the related terms also used "über/unter-mensch" are taken from Nietzschean philosophy and the Nazis and seem to have translated well from German, when "Mensch" in German is just a human being without goodness being implied.

Does anybody know how that came about, if the term has seen any changes in its meaning and (if not too big of a request) could shed some light on the more recent intersection between German and English where words were loaned but changed their meaning quite remarkably?

The BVP was created after splitting with Zentrum, a large centrist political party to form a party with a more conservative outlook. I'm trying to learn more about the political climate in Weimar Germany, but all my sources on the BVP conflict on three key issues:
-Whether the BVP was generally in support or against the Weimar Republic as a whole
-Whether they were friendly towards the NSDAP (Nazi Party) when they started gaining traction in the late 1920s
-Whether the BVP was "friendly" with Zentrum after splitting off, considering that they had closely related political views.

Forgive me for any errors I may have made because I haven't used this subreddit before, but any answer to any one of the three points would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

What was its structure? was there the equivalent of a CEO? What were the ranks, and what job did each position have?

The reading list seems to be empty for this region on the ask historians wiki, and I'm having a hard time finding a good book that covers what I'm looking for.

​

I'm looking for a book that covers the history and cultures of the people of Central Asia during the time of the Silk Road at what seems to be its height in the 4th to 8th centuries (I could be wrong about that of course). I'm particularly interested in the period before Islam, and I'd like to learn about the religions and cultures that mixed in the area before the dominance of Islam.

​

Thank you for any suggestions.

Forgive me if I get this wrong, but I read that English wool was exported to Flanders and was a source of revenue to England. I'm interested in knowing how exactly did a piece of wool on a sheep's back in rural England find its way to Flanders and other industrial areas within Europe.

Would the wool be sent on sponsored ships, would the Flemish merchants send ships to collect them, or did private merchants buy them off one party and sell them to another party? What were the roles of merchants and traders within this arena, and what role did fairs play a part in this?

How segregated was the Old West, especially around 1899? Yes, this is Red Dead Redemption 2 related. I'm mostly interested in how it was applied to Blacks being served by White businesses like saloons.

Looking for a good, interesting read about the Manhattan Project. Any suggestions?

For example, the Lincoln Cathedral or St Mary’s church, how did they build those things? Would it not have been hard to get that high up in those days? They didn’t have cranes scaffolding etc.

I'm wanting to know what, besides slavery, contributed to the american civil war. I feel like we aren't being given a factual history of these events and text books are so watered down, it's hard to get a grasp of the full picture. For reference, I'm 24 now, and graduated high school back in 2012. What were the prevailing religious beliefs of the time, and were they being threatened? What was the immigration like back then, and was it increasing or decreasing at the time the Civil War began? Did everyday people generally support it, or was it primarily government backed? In addition, what was the final "tipping point" for the fighting to begin and war officially declared? I hope this isn't too broad of a topic for me to ask about, but it's been bothering me for a while. Certain coworkers of mine desperately need a history lesson, and the grasp they have on this particular topic is elementary at best. I would like to explain things to them, but I want a more complete understanding first to make sure I'm not making things worse. Thank you in advance for your help!

Wikipedia tells me that the Dictator of Zaire volunteered to host it. But why would the almost entirely American event agree to that? Surely there were more convenient places that would command higher ticket prices available. What led to those involved accepting this offer?
