Why does no one know what prophet Mohamed looked like compared to Jesus there are hundreds of pictures

On the other side of the Himalayas from the Tibetan Plateau, there lie many lands that appear to be heavily influenced by Tibetan culture. To the south there is the Buddhist Kingdom of Bhutan, and also Sikkim, a part of India that was a kingdom until 1975. Next to these places there is Nepal, a Hindu land with a significant Buddhist minority, that recently abolished its monarchy. To the far west is Ladakh, which was another Buddhist kingdom centuries ago. There may be even more former Himalayan kingdoms that I am not aware of.

​

Going back to precolonial days, what was the relationship of these kingdoms with the Tibetan Empire and later, the Ganden Phodrang? Did these Himalayan states tend to see the Tibetan government as friends, leaders, rivals, or enemies?

There have been periods when it's been under the control of Navarra or France, but it's always ended up independent again, most recently I think in 1815, when the French released it to be independent? How has this happened?

Learning about Smith in class right now and was wondering if someone could please help me understand further.

​

A redditor mentioned the following to me:

(He was denouncing) arbitrary state power and stifling role of guilds and other corporatist entities that restricted the free exchange of goods and services.

The state in Britain tended to make a lot of its money by selling the monopoly right to provide some good or service. Guilds tended to heavily restrict entry and exit into professions and control output.

The liberal argument he was making was that these actions restricted free exchange, stifled innovation, and blocked the creation of new wealth.

​

Could someone perhaps expand on this idea a bit further please?

​

Thanks!

My impression is that in the British North American colonies there were only indentured servants (of a variety of backgrounds) at first, until later in the 17th century slavery of black Africans became entrenched. Why was this the case when other New World colonies had slavery almost from the beginning?

As a follow-up question, when was the word "Kingdom of Spain" or "Spanish Empire" first officially used?

I'm especially interested in fashion, technology, everyday life, crime and the structure of Victorian society. Books which give an in-depth look at specific subjects would be especially welcome.

Good documentaries, fiction, blogs, etc. are also of interest.

Tradition obviously has it that Jesus was born in the year 1AD, but I can't image that as Jesus was born people decided they had better start counting the years straight away. Surely there must have been a point in time where it was decided that we should have a system for keeping track of the years, and they kind of back dated towards Jesus' birth. But is there any record of when this happened?

Did he actually plan to take over Europe? Or did he plan to establish puppet states and make a sort of European Union?

I've been reading up on Georgy Zhukov and man....that was one ruthless sociopathic human being. I'm sorry If I phrased it that way but the guy just had such a horrible human rights record it's hard to see him as anything other than a monster. With him sending millions and millions of people to their deaths, often times needlessly, surely lots of Russian people even today are affected by him directly (fathers, mothers and siblings being killed). He certainly seems like someone who caused a lot of Russians a lot of suffering. What I am curious about though is with how ruthless Zhukov was to his own people how is the man seen by Russians today?

Here in the US we think of our commanders for the most part as good and just and just did what they needed to do to get the job done; Whether or not that's true I'm not here to say. We don't hear stories of Eisenhower or McAurthor shooting people in the head for cowardice (or ordering it), and I'm sure if we did hear stories of that we would denounce them. That clearly seems to be the kind of thing Zhokov did regularly so I am curious how modern Russia thinks of him.

Or was calling it Unsinkable just a marketing gimmick

And, just for fun, is anyone familiar with the history of decorative keychains?

I’ve been assigned a project regarding the coercive acts and I’ve been assigned the part of gathering quotes from the British as to why they felt the need to pass the acts. I’ve been unable to find any and thought this would be a good place to start. Again, just need a few quotes explaining the British side of things here. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

If so , what were they ?
