Now, I'm aware that the Phoenicians engaged in occasional human sacrifice, along with the Carthaginians, the Romans, Scandinavians. There are still around 50 odd human sacrifices to the Goddess Kali that happen every year in India.

But, I'm wondering if the early cro-magnons, or the neanderthals had widespread human sacrifice, similar to the Aztecs. What about neolithic culture? Was it ever as endemic in the old world at that given time? Is there any archeological evidence?

Nihilism has always been an interest of mine, but I never knew there was a period in which so many had organized in a revolutionary manor.

Follis, Solidus, or something else?

The past few times this was asked I didn't really find an answer I was satisfied with. Almost every region of the world has some sort of large, lizard-like, often fire-breathing creature in its lore. How did these beasts come to transcend cultural and geographic bounds? Did they originate in one culture, and spread out along with it? Or did several cultures develop their own notion of a dragon independent of one another?

Missionaries have been in India for centuries but Hinduism is still the dominant religion, in China its still comparatively small, Native Americans fought against it for centuries. But in a countries like Malawi or Zambia, which were only discovered late on, Christianity became the dominant religion relatively quickly.

Was there resistance from the beginning or were there rebellions before that?

I know it spread up to India but it was never became widespread.

If so was it ever documented or taken note upon? If so how did it effect the army, if at all?

What happened to the ~300,000 working class members of the National Guard? After the extensive shelling was there a formation of ghettos? How did Paris manage to transform from a shelled city to the beauty of the Belle Epoque? Are there any photo resources documenting this period of time (specifically 1871-79)? Many thanks Historians!

I had no idea phalanx tactics involved breaking ranks to charge the enemy and kill them with swords in slow motion, for example.

I cannot seem to find this on the FAQ. If it is on there, I would appreciate the link.

I am mainly interested by the European powers and their reaction. Such as Prussia, Austria, and Russia.

Anyone care to share their knowledge?

How were religious groups who used alcohol in their ceremonies affected by prohibition in America? Where they allowed to use it? How did they obtain said alcohol? If so was it at all regulated?
