Coin with a man infront of a crowd

• "Ah, this has to be Jesus!"

"A coin minted in 29 AD shows an impression of Jesus teaching in the synagogues during his public life, as recorded  in Matthew 4:23 and Mark 1:39 in the New Testament."

What? Surely that's not being reported correctly.

Awesome. Thanks for the links. I'm just a layman whose mind is constantly imagining stories. The more I learn about this period just feeds the imagination.

What were the consequences of not participating in Confucian rites ceremonies during the Chinese Rites Controversy?

Just my own translation. I’m an ancient Near Eastern historian who had to take Sumerian in grad school, although I specialize in the Late Bronze Age.

I’m not sure if there’s any prosopographical works for the Akkadian and Ur III periods, but here’s a few resources for names from later periods you may find interesting.

• Prosopography of the Neo-Assyrian Empire

• Hurrian Personal Names in the Kingdom of Ḫatti by Stefano de Martino

• Die hethitischen Frauennamen: Katalog und Interpretation by Thomas Zehnder

• Amarna Personal Names by Richard Hess

Do you have a source you're using for this? I like seeing the components that make up names this way.

A similar, sibling company, the Hudson Bay Company, ruled much of Canada, though with nothing like the military side of things, and still exists today as a chain of department stores.

Thanks for explaining.

Inn-head-oo-on-(n)ah is the best way I can describe how her name is pronounced.

To break down her name:

• en (“priestess”)

• hedu (“ornament”)

• an (“sky/heaven”)

• a(k) (Sumerian genitive, translated as “of”)

Lady/priestess, the ornament of heaven

Empire is pretty good! If we're talking history podcasts on the British empire, I have to recommend Pax Britannica as well.

But was there a Reboot? Spinoffs? Expanded Universes?

Shame that she didn't also use the world's first pen name. I'm trying to pin down exactly how to pronounce her name. Difficult.

The Coctu (or Coto) women helped in war by throwing rocks or handing out weapons, in the area, such custom has only been recorded in said culture, the author's hypothesis is that this was due to their living conditions.

According to the records, the Coctus used to live in fortified villages, comprised of big communal houses and surrounded by palisades.

All jokes aside, I did try to see if there was a relation. I didn't do it for both parts of the word, too much work, but it's unlikely teriyaki is related to greek in any meaningful way. the suffix Yaki can ultimately be traced to Proto-Austronese, like many southeast asian languages. This is a seperate language family from Proto-Indo-European, the ancestor language of Greek and many other languages. these groups may share a common language ancestor, but may also not. Language developed hundreds of thousands of years before the earliest reconstructed proto languages, so we simply don't know if they developed in parallel in totally disparate cultures, or if they both developed from a shared language that has been lost to time.

That was an interesting book. My book group read it a few months ago. The author was on the New Books Network not long ago too.
