I finished the show Black Sails and that led me to listen to Treasure Island on audio book. As I've been listening I've found the pirates' dialog to be over the top and eye roll inducing, but I don't know if it's accurate or not. How accurate is that book in portraying the way those pirates would have spoken? And if it's not accurate, is there a good movie/show to watch to get a more accurate portrayal of how they would of spoken?

Hello, I am currently trying to rebuild a model replica (or rather interpretation) of Cabot's Matthew. For that reason i want to know a bit more about the explorer and the current state of the historical research regarding him.

Have there been any recent archeological or historical research papers about him, his expeditions or some new revelations about his vessel?

That is, where does the disconnect come from?

I am doing an rp on mythology and one of the question i have to answer is how mythology is studied and analysed. I have not been able to fins any good information and wanted to know if y'all had any good information or good website/videos thanks. Samira <3

To give some background, I was taught classical Sanskrit at school and understand the language of Rig Veda passably. I opened Avesta transcribed in my mother tongue ( Gujarati - since the majority surviving Zoroastrian community used to speak that language ) on archive.org out of curiosity and found it quite legible. I am not sure of the composition time or geographical area of its composition. But I was struck by how similar it sounded.

I'm not a historian, but would like to conduct some researches about some topics.

Can anyone suggest how to do it? Any goog proces for it?

Thanks

First of all, I understand that the Founders were against any notion of revolt against a representative government, and believe revolt was justifiable only in the event that elections were not being held.

But did any of the Founders say this was one of the purposes of the Second Amendment?

Was it a roman villa in winchester? Was there a roman villa in winchester?

I don't think the show even mentions that the king of wessex has his main residence at winchester, though.

I have heard that Italy had a treaty with Austria-Hungary before the war began. Why did they choose against joining the Central Powers?

So I joined this group a little over a year ago to find records on my grandfather who was a WWII vet. Well, I just found out that I had another WWII vet on my moms side of the family who, for some reason, was neglected by the family. I looked into it more and its says he was a WWII, but this is what confuses me. On some reports it says he was only a korean war vet, but on his gravestone it says he was a WW2 vet. I dont know his military id # since I never met him but i have some info. His name was Harold McDermott and was born on April 26, 1929. He was from Scranton, PA and died March 19, 2008. If you can help me out I would appreciate a ton.

Take, maybe, the Germanic pagans for example (Saxony, Scandinavia etc.). Sorry if the term 'social technology' might be a bit vague, I only ask this way because I've heard it phrased before that the pagan world was 'overwhelmed' by social technology that paganism didn't posses.

I am kind of curious, because when people ask questions about Japan the topics that often most reliably answered tend to be those for which Europeans were around in some form, leaving records, letters and transcripts there were passed down and interpreted by western historians.

There seems to be less ability to reliably answer questions about popular subjects such about the Sengoku era (Someone recently remarked there essentially were no reliable English scholars for matters concerning Ninja/Shinobi). Is this because Japanese records for these periods are not translated, or simply are not there?

I suppose I am asking because I really have no idea how comprehensive Japan's own historical record is compared to say, China's, and how many primary sources they have available for many periods of their history (Meiji, Sengoku, Heian). What resources do modern Japanese historians have to work with, how rigorous are the history programs at Japanese Universities, and how much access do Western (English-speaking, primarily) historians have to Japanese primary sources?
