The word Celtic is basically associated with Ireland nowadays. However, Celts occupied a much bigger region in Continental Europe. For some reason, however, there's much more literature on Irish Celts and, to a lesser extent, British Celts than there is on, e.g., Celtiberians or Lusitanians. Non-academical sources are basically non-existent, and the only work of fiction about Continental Celts I remember is Asterix

If I had to guess, I'd say it's a mix of public interest and something the Roman Empire did, but I could very well be wrong

Thanks in advance

Was thinking about the high five today. I know we have waved, lipped hats, shook hands, hugged, nodded, etc.

How would a roman around 300-0 BC greet someone? Would they do it the same as other countries they may trade with? I know it probably still kind of depends on your relationship with that person, but is there any record of what would be common?

I asked all around Reddit and was pointed here

How did American English evolve from our British roots?

No only did they not continue building but they seemed to revert back to before the invasion of the roman empire. I mean, I know they had superstitions and religion which would have influenced them, but why sit under a leaking thatch roof when you could have had a tiled one? Why not continue smelting lead and other metals etc? Why build in timber and wattle n daub? So many questions! Ahhh!

From what I know meals in taverns/inns were served like a home meal would be, with 1-3 meals being prepared and served a day. Usually one big table and a set time everyone ate together at. Sometimes overlapping with when a stagecoach was going to arrive. Everyone was also served the same dish and didn't have a choice of what they got to eat. Please correct me on any of that if it's wrong.

My question is this: how did you actually get food? Did you just sit down at the table and have it brought to you? How was it paid for? Did you pay in advance?

I am mainly interested in 1830s-ish U.S. Thanks

I saw it on a tiktok, but i couldn't find it online. Just wanted to know if it happened

Apparently about 90% of Poland's Jewish population was murdered during the Holocaust, compared to Germany's ~35%. Why did the nazis concentrate on Poland (and other occupied territories) instead of their own land? Or did the local Jews have more time to run away or something? What happened?

Sorry if my question is not clear.

The story of David and Goliath is based on the idea of two champions fighting a battle on behalf of their armies, but there are many other examples of this in literature and film. My Pakistani friend once told me that the border guard strutting contest during the daily closing of the Indian-Pakistani border was based on that tradition as well.

Did this practice ever exist anywhere or at any time in history? Or is this a construction to exaggerate the deeds of legendary warriors?

Many revolutions find that when they realize their goal of removing the previous government there are factions of the victors who want to move farther in one direction or another creating deep factions. These factions tend to get more and more extreme and ploddingly leading to a second revolt. But the United States seemed to avoid the “entropy of victory.”

Why was the new US government so successful of avoiding any major counter revolutionaries? Were there any minor movements that pushed a different direction in government?

I'm not being sarcastic, I genuinely want to know.

Another sub-question could be if it was normal for people of a Marxist orientation like Vallejo to sort of belittle technological progress in this way, since I considered that Marxists at the time were enthusiastic supporters of progress and saw their own ideology as the science of human societies and economics.

In Downton Abbey Series 3, Episode 5, Lady Sybil dies of preeclampsia during child birth.

Before the advent of formula, what were the options for nutrition for these babies? I imagine wet nurses in this case of a wealthy family, but what was the general case?

What i am particularly interested in:

the journey of the different parts for the assembly and the operational planning

the flight crews, how they felt in the moment and the days leading up to it

the Japanese decision makers, how the bombing influenced them

the people on the ground, how it effected them

the explosions themselvs, what was the detailed effect of it

His draft card is dated early July 1917, in the first round of the draft for all men 21-30. He arrived at training camp in December. I want to know if he volunteered, or if he was drafted, any way to find out?

Edit: I learned that a triple-digit number printed on the corner of the card is his randomly assigned lottery number for the draft. But I cannot find any records of when that number was called.
