Today:
Welcome to this week's instalment of /r/AskHistorians' Day of Reflection. Nobody can read everything that appears here each day, so in this thread we invite you to share anything you'd like to highlight from the last week - an interesting discussion, an informative answer, an insightful question that was overlooked, or anything else.
/u/idjet has done great (and patient!) work with his/her AMA on medieval witchcraft, heresy, and the inquisition. He/she deserves our thanks.
I have a really specific unanswered one,
http://www.reddit.com/r/AskHistorians/comments/2jj9k2/is_the_indoeuropean_grave_culture_yamna_near/
So is the Indo-European 'Grave' culture Yamna near Anatolia etymologically related to the Vedic (and now Hindu, Buddhist) God of Death, Yama?
It might be tacky to boost my own question, but I'd really like some input on the origins of Columbus. I've seen a lot of claims in the press about Columbus not being Genoan, but I can't really find any scholarly literature addressing these claims.
I absolutely have to prop up /u/plaguefish's answer on the English education system ca 1800 and 1900. Really good read.
