I know there was a cleansing of them via Muslim forces, but when were they officially gone?

In the movie, we see cars being loaded onto Titanic (and used in one scene in particular), but I've not read anything about them after the sinking. Are there any notable instances of cars being found among the wreckage? Were they destroyed? Were any on the ship in the first place?

Whenever I watch a show or a movie set in the 1920s-1940s it seems like swing music and dancing were generally common in the USA. In American culture today there isn't a genre that everyone can dance to (except the ones that have instructions in the lyrics). So what happened?

Hey everyone! I have a passion for history and this question has been on my mind for a while. I know about the Athenian democracy, but everything between that moment and the democratic revolutions in the 18th century is a mystery to me. Could someone help me out? Follow up questions:

1. Were the works of Greek philosophers the main inspiration for philosophers from the Renaissance?

2. How did these two types of philosophers differ from eachother?

I've seen a lot of posts on this sub that had made me question the accepted thought when it comes to Ancient Greece, especially Sparta. Now I want to more about Sparta's stereotypical rival, Athens.

You should think people would learn how terrible life is during occupation by another country. Still after the trauma of ww2 the Netherlands and France still fought wars in overseas (used to be) colonies. Especially in Indochina and Indonesia since they lost those regions to japan during the war. I am wondering how the majority of citizens in France and the Netherlands still thought is was okay to reclaim it. Of course we are looking at it in retrospect with different mindsets I guess. But it’s still fascinating me how it could happen

I remember reading somewhere that Dante’s inferno influenced modern Catholicism’s perception of hell and I was wondering how accurate that statement is and if so how? Also did Dante’s inferno influence society and if so how?

Reading about kings like Suryavarman II and Ram Khamhaeng made me realise that there were obvious Hindu influences in the region. How much were they and how did they come to be so?

Nowadays coins are small value but back in times a gold coin could be worth a lot and finding one a lot rarer - how would spending that money work?

Would they buy stuff? Would they know the value of it? What would they be able to purchase with it? Ask for advice? Would they even be able to get "change" for it?

It's an odd question but I found a coin and it got me thinking on how different would be one's reaction to such a trivial occurrence if it weren't trivial at all.

I undersrand that lack or artifacts and any other significant sources of knowledge for that era leads to that general conclusion, that the fall of Mycenae was also a decline of the Greeks that lasted centuries.

Isnt though very curious that "suddenly" the Greeks come back with amazing achievements at 8th century BC? How come declined and less significant, unorganized people manage to create wave after wave of colonies, create amazing literature in a very elaborate tongue (Homer), have their art, science and overall power flourish and also start to brew philosophy, i say again, suddenly at the 8th century?

Isnt it reasonable to say that these centuries were not really a dark age rather than a transitional age where Greeks did not really decline?
