And if Liberty Prime was built by Mr House in Nevada why did it end up in the Pentagon, a command and control center?

I mean you get stable employment and a full belly, what more could you want?

If they were confident enough in its abilities to test it with a world renowned archaeologist, why was the program abandoned?

Currently doing research on my family tree.

The furthest back I have managed to go was a Captain Edmund Blackadder, who apparently served in the trenches of the Western Front in WWI without ever seeing combat and then vanished from records after an order to attack just hours before the Germans would officially surrender.

Does anyone have any more infos on him or even any idea how I could track my history further back? I have absolutely no idea how to do this best. Any help is appreciated!

What is the current consensus as to which parts of the Silmarillon depict actual historical events. Also what is the earliest events in the Silmarillon for which we have independent sources?

As you may have noticed, technological progress in the Third Age seems to be at best stagnant, at worst declining. Constantly wonders of the past are mentioned, which cannot be be recreated any longer, for example the construction of Orthanc, the outer walls of Minas Tirith, and the Palantiri. At the same time, those who try to innovate, like Saruman, are vilified. Is Elvish suppression the reason for this stagnation? Elves, while also weakened, still seem vastly superior in many areas and all Elves live at least somewhat comfortable. Compare that to men. Numenor at its height was vastly superior, but over the course of the Third Age its successor states slowly fall in disrepair and men go back to live in wooden shacks (see Bree).

A follow up question- How did Sephiroth's goals/desires/plans affect Jenova's purpose?

As a followup question, were The Order actually affiliated with the terrorists?

His food stores seem quite full for a guy that seems to spend most of his time being proper and smoking. And then there is Samwise and his father Hamfast Gamgee both of home seem to have been born into the service of Bag end.

Here's a man who's talented enough steal whatever he pleases and run an entire GUILD of thieves. Did he not realize how much money he could make by enchanting with the sigil stones?

Or is this pro-rebel propaganda made up by the rebel scum George Lucas?

It's obvious today that the Irish nationalist, Scottish talk of independence(where England had to increase autonomy a lot to reduce unrest) and even Wales and Cornwall. I understand that using bird points is expensive at least compared to using it to further colonization. So why just ulster, Wales and Cornwall ? Wouldn't it be better to convert all of Ireland as well, and Britain probably had some points to spare during the napoleonic period to at least prepare them for the Victorian period. I'm just wondering why the historical intelligence of British was the way it was. Great subreddit guys, keep up the good work!
