The moors black nationalists claim are the black civilizers of the Europe. They rant about how Blacks are more advanced than Whites and how Blacks invented all disciplines...

Let's debunk this and get some truths... were the Moors black?

I visited Rome with my family a few weeks ago- what an extraordinary experience for a history enthusiast.

The number and density of churches astonished me- one is rarely out of sight of one, and there's often more than one on the same block, or right across the street from one another.

Many of these, while they must have been expensive to build and they're magnificently decorated, can't accommodate very many worshipers at a time, so presumably they weren't built to accommodate a large community.

Why are there so many? My theory is that they were vanity projects for rich Romans and prestige projects for rich non-Romans.

I'm curious how, without a robust system of state-issued ID, people didn't just go around saying they were other people and getting away with it?

James Gordon Bennett, Jr, publisher of New York Herald, famously said, when he leased instead of purchased land for his new headquarter in Herald Sqaure, "Thirty years from now the Herald will be in Harlem, and I’ll be in hell!" What stopped that migration?

Yes, i do realize Switzerland was Natural during the war, but neutrality didn't stop Kaiser Wilhelm II from taking Belgium during WWI and i never took Adolf Hitler to be one to play by the rules. Switzerland being dead center of Nazi Europe i always thought Hitler would have taken it. Can i have some Historian Input?

When considering all of the Americas, I've seen estimates of upwards to 100 million, which is a totally unjustified obscenity. In North America alone, I've seen anywhere from 10 million to 30 million.

I've realized recently, as an American citizen, another absolute lie that we have been led on for our entire lives. When we look at where Germany is today in terms of their own history, they fully acknowledge the fact that the Holocaust did happen, however stigmatized it may be. Compared to other genocides and killing campaigns carried out by the Stalins and Khans and Hitlers of history, none can stand up to a whopping 100 million people, so far as my knowledge of human history goes. You could maybe say that a great deal of these deaths were a result of unintentional smallpox cases that quickly killed the majority of that 100 million, but I do not for one second, believe that Europeans went into the Americas without knowing what germs they carried, as well as the affects those germs would have on a population of non-immune people from across the pond. This was during the Renaissance, when mysticism and science and art infected Europe, and where any number of biologists surely had to know this would happen. It's not hard to find out the method of disease related casualties, given the amount of time that great Britain, Spain, France, etc... have been around, and the fact that they're basically the forefathers of modern day science.

If I'm missing anything here, please give me a good learnin'.

Also, are there any books about the formation of Deadwood and the events that happened there in the late 1870's? Thanks in advance.

I was wondering how many years were the Soviets away from landing on the moon when the Americans landed. Was it close? Or we would've to wait for the Soviet landing for another decade or so?

Say, in an answer, i wish to build upon somebody else's answer to a different question, is it permissible to use that response as a source?

Or were there just smaller cats, like our modern house cat that we domesticated?

Seeing as there are animals considered vastly less intelligent than humans who have a working language, wouldn't a structured language have been one of the first skills we mastered?

Or was it more a combination of scents, grunts, and body language? I understand that this is prehistory and all but it seems a bit insulting to our ancestors to portray them with such a limited vocabulary.

I apologize if this violates the 20 year rule, but religious levels are plummeting in Europe. What has caused this drop? Why did regions with religious conflict (i.e. Ireland/Britain) seemingly overcome this conflict in the late 20th century?

The idea of "legends and myths" being passed down via word of mouth is quite a common one. How realistic is this? Did people tell tales of strange beasts and lands as fictional stories, as we do today?

After the Revolutionary War, were the captured British imprisoned or allowed to go back to wherever they came from? If they were imprisoned, where were they imprisoned?

I've been interested in Tibetan history for a while now and have been wondering how in the past Dalai Lamas were chosen when Tibet was independent.
