i always been really interested in detroit and after reading arc of justice i am hungry to learn more, what better from the good people of Detroit

Nowadays, it's not a politically correct term, but still! The realization that these people were not Indians must have come pretty quick, why did the name stick? Why are they still called by the wrong name 500 years later?

It seems like a fairly modern concept, a time capsule. I know, for example, Egypt buried their dead with belongings and objects for use in the afterlife, but that's not quite the same thing. Did any Ancient civilizations bury objects explicitly to be preserved through time for future civilizations to discover?

This may be more of an art history question than anything else but that is what I am here to find out!

I was curious about how depictions of the three (or any other Christian demons/evil entities) came to be represented the way they are today and their possible source material.

Do we know the earliest works depicting the religious figures? And how/why they were represented in such a way?

Disclaimer: not religious

Edit: marriage practices centered around modern day England directly proceeding the institution of Catholic marriage practices in the region

I'm really having trouble finding any examples of WW1 Japanese propaganda, and am posting this question again in hopes that I will get an answer this time.

From reading up on the subject a bit I've learned that the non-inheriting children of the nobility would often become either soldiers or members of the clergy, both of which limit their chances to have legitimate children, but obviously a great number of them would choose neither, marry, and have children, to whom the "soldier or clergy" career paths would also prevail - but again, a great number of them would choose neither, marry, and have children. Basically what I want to know is how many generations would it take before your noble blood was essentially irrelevant?

Also - I'm aware that if non-inheriting sons enjoyed any degree of military or civic success, many of them would be created nobles in their own right, but for the purposes of this question I want to exclude them.

Spanning for more than a millennium, although incredibly integral, the slave trade was just one component in a complex network of exchange. Though equally effective to the development of Africa as a modern day concept, the Trans-Saharan slave trade, to this day, remains insufficiently covered.

Why is this? Is it simply due to a historical lens of eurocentricity that the trans-Atlantic slave trade has received more academic attention?

What areas of history have the most and most active topic experts? Which areas attract a lot of rubbish and few good responses?

Military history seems to be a strength, which isn't surprising, and there are some very good medieval historians. On the other hand, economic history does not seem very well represented (this would be my own specialism if I'd worked harder at university).

I've discovered a sort of sudden fascination with stone age man, particularly in the period just prior to the discovery of metalworking, the Mesolithic. Seeing as there's no /r/askprehistorians I figured I'd hope someone here has some recommended reading/watching/listening. I'm interested in all aspects of life in the period, and I would appreciate sources for other geographical areas in the same period as well.

Thanks.

I've been reading it, and it tells a fascinating story of the Knights Templar holding secret rituals against the church, conspiracies of silence, blending of pagan and folk rituals with modern Christian ceremonies, all of it really engaging.

I'm curious about how scholarly a work it is. It does cite references, but I was hoping someone here had more immediate knowledge. Thanks!

What I am trying to get after here is how did we get to the point of getting to a certain age, then taking a written exam, then taking an actual driving test before being allowed to drive, as well as if you break too many of the rules, you will be banned from partaking in this form of transportation by the state. I'm sorry I didn't make that clear in OP.

Are there examples of that process before the invention of cars. Did you have to pass a test to ride a horse, pull a wagon, move cattle, drive a train, etc...? If you crashed your horse while riding drunk, could the state prohibit you from riding your horse?

The connotations of the term historical revisionism is that of the likes of David Irving and Bradley Smith and other once mainstream historians that turned to Holocaust Denial. My question, even though it's often interlinked with Holocaust Denial, what good examples exist of historical revisionists challenging commonly held interpretations of events and providing a more accurate evaluation to them?
