Let me clarify: I want to know how historians believe he died and where his tomb might be, if he has one

I found that the Soviet Union used 79 vetoes in the first 10 years. Who/what was targeted with these vetoes?

They seemed to have stopped around the end of the 60's. Why didn't they resume this kind of veto use?

It doesn't seem to be as important of an issue in the text of the bible, other in a few minor passages, yet is now a major feature of most Christian platforms. When did this begin?

When would a blacksmith in Italy, a farmer in China, or a cobbler in England hear the news? Did it word spread in just a few weeks time, or was it years, or even decades before most people knew about the New World?

Did they have any children by the way?

I know they are currency, but that's all. I am currently reading about the property qualifications for military service in the late republic and just got seriously confused. Numbers aren't my thing can't make sense of what is going on. Can some one explain the differences, conversions, other important facts?

My family recently got back from Amsterdam and aside from extolling it's wonderfulness, also brought me back a small black tulip, as my father roughly remembered something about them being worth an aweful lot of money 'back in the day'. This led me on to think, was the tulip-mania the first big speculative market that had a large boom/bust?

We hear the story about the Jews being chased out of Egypt, but I was wondering if it's possible that Judaism is some how connected with Akhenaten's religion? It, at least at face value, seems like there is a lot of room for possibilities.

Judaism is said to be over 3,000 years old and Akhenaten's religion was formed about 3,400 years ago. 1,300's BC.

Being that the Akhenaten's religion was also likely henotheistic, the saying "You shall put no God's before me" may be in a possible henotheistic context? Even though the Torah was put together after the Jew's returned from Babylon, and it's said their occupation by the Babylonians is likely where they picked up the flood story and Tower of Babel story, and many more. It seems likely the Hebrews blended what would become Judaism with old oral legends, local traditions, and a few new concepts.

I have also heard talk of archaeological evidence showing that pre-Babylon invasion "Judaism" God is shown to have had a wife.

Is it possible they (the early Jews) were people who wanted to keep monotheism and may have had to leave because the Egyptians were trying to remove it and get back to the old ways? Could that have been the true exodus? Because I could not imagine every person in the kingdom wanting to go back to the old ways, and potentially being chased out around that time or not long after.

I have been thinking about it but would like to know if there is any thought on the matter within the historical community. Thank you.

Just curious! The cultures back then were very military oriented and hand-to-hand warfare on massive scales was much more common.

I'm reading Hsu's Rise of Modern China right now, and I'm investigating the Taiping Rebellion for funsies (I feel like the world's dullest person, but hey). Compared to the government's nepotism, corruption, and general inability to deal with both the distribution of land and the natural disasters that had been destroying China in the last couple of years, Hong seemed to be a perfect alternative.

However, when I read into his policies, some of those being the equal distribution of land and wealth amongst peasants, I can't help feeling that some of these policies are very... Marxist. Could he be described as a modern day communist? Was there any connection between him and Marx at all?

Weird story but I remember hearing about this from Medal of Honor Frontline, but the explanation seemed vague. WWII interests me, so I'd like to learn more.

I’ve always wondered where Scandinavians came from, mainly Norwegians. Were the Sami there first? Or were the typical people we call Scandinavians there before?

The strategy imposed by Lincoln/Scott seems to be continuously overlooked in regards to its importance in the war (in my textbooks at least anyway. I for one think it was very crucial to the "swift" Union victory, thoughts?

Australia recently commemorated the 100th anniversary of the land at Gallipoli. I have always been taught of the sacrifice of the campaign but I have never understood why the allies needed to land there?

What was the tactical plan going into the landing and what purpose would it have had on the rest of the war?

Obviously keeping thousands of men supplied and equipped in the field is a major endeavor, but doing so for multiple forces spread over thousands of miles must have been immense. What was the organization like in the field, and was there an organization back in Rome that coordinated everything? Was there a body in the Senate specifically tasked with oversight of such matters, or was it all on the local Governors and Pro-Consuls who raised the troops?

Did the practices change from the Marian reforms, to the Late Republic, to the Prinicpate?

It seems to me that the world-wide British Empire could surely find something that the Chinese would like to trade for other than silver and opium. Were the Chinese really so self-sufficient that they had no desire for any British wares? Or was there something else at play?
