It's the origin of the word menstrual.

Pretty sure it's "the number of times Og actually did the dishes this year" with "Y" as the time he also swept the cave

Period synchronization in humans is not a real thing.

Didn’t realize they only went extinct in the 1600’s

When did anti-semitism start? My assumption is that it began in the Roman Catholic Church soon after Christ’s death, but past that I don’t know much about Jewish history. Did Jewish persecution begin with the Roman destruction of the temple of Jerusalem and the Jews subsequent exile? What historical events took place that lead to the holocaust?

Speaking as a layman, I think a lot of astral bodies have notably different positions year after year. I think astrology makes sense when you see it as keeping track of the time of year people were born and how nature’s cycles affected them. They say Virgoes are prone to bean counting/organization. This makes some sense for people born around the time of year for the harvest.

It has less to do with stars influencing you and more to do with natural cycles.

I don’t know about chinese astrology though.

i read some where that before artificial light menstrual cycles where synced with the moon and hence with other woman, now a day it happens when they spend a lot of time together or in same schedules, now we have more variables like artificial hormones and food additives

Because indigenous people of North America were not only conquered and colonized but ethnically cleansed and genocided.

Wait til they find the tax returns. won't match up and there'll have to be an audit.

Good information. Thanks for the response.

Thanks for your response. Would you happen to know of any particular books or any specific fields of research that pertain to my question?

Can anyone recommend a book which compares and contrasts some of the major empires from world history? I'm hoping to find something that stretches back to the Roman Empire and takes in some of the Chinese empires, the Moghuls, the Ottomans, Austria-Hungary, the British Empire, and more besides. I'm particular interested in the "decline and fall" aspects (i.e. what were the events and conditions that led to the demise of the empire in question), but general histories are ok as well.

Andrew Roberts' excellent biography Napoleon the Great covers all the major campaigns at a "birdseye" level of detail. It's incredibly readable and of course as a biography it sets them into the context of Napoleon's life as a whole. It's not specifically focused on the military aspects, but each battle gets a fairly thorough write up, including lots of detail about troop numbers, equipment tactics, and so on. The withdrawal from Russia is done very well indeed. I think he could have gone into more detail about Waterloo, but overall I loved it and it's one of my most recommended history books.

(I suppose you might argue that the earlier campaigns are part of the French Revolutionary Wars rather than the Napoleonic Wars, but if you're interested in the period then I still think this is a great introduction).

Nothing really. At some point, she was mixed up with another women (in the Gospel of John), "the woman taken in adultery", and they are not the same person.

The Gospels aren't really historical documents and Mary Magdalene was probably not a real person. She's just there in the story to witness three important events: the crucifixion, burial and empty tomb of Jesus.

There are plenty of alternative theories about her role in Jesus' life, but generally not espoused by serious scholars. As part of fiction writer Dan Brown marketing of the novel the Da Vince Code, Brown claimed that Mary Magdalene married Jesus and had a child by him. That child was supposed to have living descendants, etc etc. You can watch a thorough debunking of this claim here: https://youtu.be/UAtoP5nFhh4

The word month is from the proto-indo-european word for moon. Or rather, moon and month were the same word/concept.

I'd recommend Direct Action by James Tracy. It's about a group of radical American pacifists who met in prison camps where they were confined for refusing to serve during WWII. They were quite influential on the tactics of the antiwar and civil rights movement during the 50s and 60s.

That’s why I call it the moon sickness.
