Today:
Welcome to this week's instalment of /r/AskHistorians' Sunday Digest (formerly the Day of Reflection). Nobody can read all the questions and answers that are posted here, 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.
Another Sunday means another funday filled with awesome history threads! Get comfy, settle in, and browse through the selection of posts and answers. Don’t forget to thank the brilliant writers and enjoy the specials!
We have a pretty big number of special threads this week, including two of our most upvoted of all time. So buckle in!
First off, there’s an AMA running right now! Check it out! I’m Dr Sally Foster, here to talk about ‘My Life as a Replica: St John’s Cross, Iona’, my new book about authenticity and value of historic replicas, Iona and its carved stones. AMA!
And a resulting META thread. Rule 4: No soap boxing, or events and politics <20 years.
There’s also a new Rules Roundtable XV: The Things Mods Do, and Understanding Our Role
Time for a Tuesday Trivia on Vacation!
Some great suggestions in the Thursday Reading and Recommendation thread
Stop by for some banter in the Friday Free For All.
The Saturday Showcase had some great features from /u/UndercoverClassicist and /u/Klesk_vs_Xaero!
And thus we come to an end once again. There’s a documentary on Honey Badgers calling my name and the job is done. Enjoy the list folks, and I’ll see you next week!
Shout out to some of the interesting yet overlooked questions that caught my eye!
/u/EvXK9 asked about Did Italy have Feudalism? If so which part and state/polity?
/u/pranavpanch asked Did people realize they were part of a civilizational collapse during the bronze age collapse?
/u/tpounds0 asked How has the perception of the Stonewall Riots changed over time?
This question was left unanswered :
Where did the hate toward the Roma people come from
I think this question is very important given how normalized it is on r/Europe to hate Roma people
