In mythology, the twelve tone scale was discovered at the time of the Yellow Emperor. Lots of ancient examples of notation and music theory have been unearthed. What are some old pieces of music that can still be accurately reproduced today?

I've read a lot about the Symbionese Liberation Army, and the IRA, and the Red Army Faction. I would kind of like to know about other groups that operated in the west during the cold war similar to these, particularly in America and not just one connected to communism. Sorry if this is kind of a broad question.

The Undead have became a main stray in the world of B movie fantasy/video games, but when was the first instance of the Undead being adapted to the Fantasy genre?

Where did the undead originate?

So I'm not sure if anyone knows this, but I want to know, what did Persia, preferably the Sassanids, call their main rivals, being the Romans. Did they have a special name that was different from what Rome called itself? Like how Rome called them Persia, even though they called themselves Iran.

Hope this makes sense, thanks :)

Other monuments such as the Flavian Amphitheater use the nomen. It seems strange that the Via Appia uses the praenomen. Was this common and what political advantage did it give the Claudian gens?

I'd like some reading recommendations on the history of Roman Catholicism in the early days of direct (western) European contact with China and Japan, namely when the Portuguese and Spanish arrived in SE Asia and East Asia.

In particular I'm interested in the suppression of the Catholic minority in Japan, and in learning how things were in the late Ming to Qing eras.

Thanks in advance for your recommendations!

Just to clarify, I'm not asking about Christians in St. Thomas as in, the US Virgin Islands. I'm asking about the Saint Thomas (Nasrani) communities of India.

Way back on Thanksgiving day 2015, I saw a video on Facebook about Native Americans describing what Thanksgiving was to them. I was scrolling through the comments and lots of people were commenting stuff like "Native Americans weren't even the first ones to be in North America."

Why would people think that?

What did the commenters mean by that? and could this (maybe) be true?

(Before the colonial era) In the West we've had City states like; Venice, Milan, Danzig, Genoa, Papacy (Rome), Ragusa, Frankfurt, Nuremburg and several more. I can hardly think of any City States in the East, is there any particular wider reason for this?

I know Communists in their respective nations were often viewed as potential or active dupes of the USSR. How much truth was there to that?

And if so, when did Soviet control over global communist parties weaken?

I am fluent in both english and spanish (which is my native tongue), so I'm fine with recommendations in either language. Thanks you for answering.

Did peasant men join up as an alternative to subsistence farming? Was it hereditary? I can't find any info on where the men actually CAME from. Thanks in advance <3<3<3

This one thing that I've been wondering for years.

I remember 4 years ago, the History Channel showed an Episode on their TV Series "Human Weapon" which showcases various martial arts around the world. This episode I speak of went over MCMAP, the Hand-to-Hand system of the Marine Corps.

During the episode, there was one instance where they speak of Marines being pinned under fire in some third world country. After prolonged exposure to enemy fire and being stuck in the same position, the Marines finally got fed up and equipped bayonets in on their guns and charged out to their attackers.Despite such an insane tactic, the enemy that was pinning them (who were armed with automatic machine guns) abandoned their suppression and fled from the area out of fear..Granted these were poorly-trained third world armies but still.,,,,,,,

I read of in Napoleonic Warfare that entire units and even whole armies would literally abandon their formation and flee the battlefield out of fear when men charged with Bayonets. I read this was a comment tactic of Napoleon and to people's surprise it worked so well against other armies. Only the MOST DISCIPLINED and DEVOTED like the British army was able to with stand this charge without collapsing and it would be late in the War when European nations finally realized Napoleon CAN be beaten that this tactic lost its effectiveness.

Even in World War 2 I read of PROFESSIONAL and WELL-TRAINED American soldiers literally abandoning their position out of fear when the Japanese would commit their Banzai Charges.

The first battle in The Red Badge of Courage portrays this perfectly when the protagonist ran away as the Confederate Army charged despite the fact he hadn't even fired several shots yet and the Confederates were still distance away.

How and why would a Bayonet Charge be so terrifying even in this modern age?I mean when kids today hear of this, they would go all like "you have a gun-shoot the motherfucker with it as he runs at you!!!!" and indeed playing a video game would lead you to believe its so easy to fire at hordes of men charging at you to hit you with a bayonet or other melee weapon.

I know the Nazi attitude towards women and girls was very traditional.

Were they ever reluctant to kill Soviet female soldiers?

I've been really interested in Roman history recently and I've been watching YouTube videos on the subject. However I've been having trouble finding channels that are focused on the topic or even on history at all. I'm not sure if this is the right place for this question, but the sub's rules don't seem to have a ruling on this subject, and I thought if anyone had an answer for this question, it'd be you guys.
