Apr 16	answered	Who started/popularized the department store perfume gauntlet?
Apr 16	comment	Did Pythagoras visit Judaea, Arabia, and/or India? Thank you. The gymnosophists page on WP carries a passage from Clement of Alexandria's Stromata that sounds eerily similar to your quoted preface.
Apr 16	asked	Did Pythagoras visit Judaea, Arabia, and/or India?
Apr 15	reviewed	Approve suggested edit on Harvard Architecture: How did Harvard Mark I separate data and instruction?
Apr 15	comment	Is there a possibility that the Islamic civilization visited America before Colombus? @YannisRizos I think that he offers his answer in the first sentence, i.e., "It's possibly, but unlikely". I don't think anybody who is unfamiliar with the basis for these claims can really answer this question factually.
Apr 15	revised	Why did Egypt forbid entry of Israeli ships into the Suez canal in 1956? Clean up language, add another source however brief.
Apr 15	revised	What is the source of this quote about Demosthenes by Philip II of Macedon? Improve title, links.

Apr 11	awarded	Necromancer
Apr 8	comment	How did shells, bones, and other trinkets work as currency? Thank you. But this appears to largely be well-informed conjecture (primarily on why shells could work as currency). Do we know, for example, how Native American tribes used shells as currency? How rare were the shells used? Who decided such matters or was it completely arbitrary? I'm interested in how the economy worked using shells as currency.

Apr 2	revised	How has Chinese GDP as a percentage of world GDP changed over time and why? edited body; edited tags; edited title
Mar 28	comment	How did Mongolian nomads acquire metal weapons? This is currently more of a comment than an answer. Please flesh it out further.
Mar 28	revised	How did Mongolian nomads acquire metal weapons? added 1 characters in body
Mar 28	comment	How did Mongolian nomads acquire metal weapons? Genghis Khan's birth name of Temujin (as those of his brothers, Temülin and Temüge) is derived from temür meaning iron. The name "indicated an implied lineage in a family once known as blacksmiths".
Mar 28	reviewed	Approve suggested edit on How far should I go back in Russian History in order to understand Communist Russia?
Mar 26	comment	Were British fears of Russia using Afghanistan as a staging post for an invasion of India unfounded? William Dalrymple's new book covers this in detail.
