Jan 15	answered	Who were the first to relatively measure the length of the year precisely?
Jan 14	comment	Why does the monarchy of Belgium still exist after Leopold 2? @FelixGoldberg In absolute numbers - very possible, for Belgian Congo was very populated area. But as for percentual numbers, I think, the champions in annihilation of the whole ethnics were Americans in the Indian Wars. And Spaniards in Carribeans.
Jan 14	comment	Why does the monarchy of Belgium still exist after Leopold 2? One interesting example from Russia. Kyrgyzs lived on Yenisey river till 16th century. And migrated to nowadays Kyrgyzstan to escape from Russians. To be again conquered by them in 19th Cent.
Jan 14	comment	Why does the monarchy of Belgium still exist after Leopold 2? @soliloquyy Thank you for the info. I have rephrased a sentence in the post. But sorry, even such autocratic monarch as Russians ones were not dictators. There were some laws above them. (about marriage or throne heirs, for example) So, they were not dictators, as I see it.
Jan 14	comment	Why does the monarchy of Belgium still exist after Leopold 2? @FelixGoldberg From my school program I remember a witness description of mass murder of a whole village in Vietnam about at 1860-ties. And German genocide of some african ethnics. (Herero and Hottentots). And what about Indian wars in USA? With the use of biological weapons?

Jan 14	comment	Why does the monarchy of Belgium still exist after Leopold 2? I think, it is very hard to guess the correct numbers in these situations. These guys didn't like the correct statistics for their crimes. But I do remember the info on Leopold II's genocide in Belgian Congo in our history books at school.
Jan 9	comment	Why didn't the silk road run north of the Black Sea? Marco Polo returned by Silk Way to Cafa. From the North of the Black Sea :-)
Jan 9	comment	Why didn't the silk road run north of the Black Sea? Are you sure that these cities can explain the placing of the Silk Way? Maybe on the contrary, there were cities because of the existence of the Silk Way? And so, they can't explain the placing? After Vasco de Gama both way and cities degenerated fast enough.
Jan 9	comment	Historical examples of significant no man's lands between states in perpetual conflict @RISwampYankee try to look for the info on Ivan the Terrible and Crimean Tartars - you will get the info on these conflicts. The Wild Fields themselves were empty these times and so there are no much information on them
Jan 9	answered	How common are major cities not built by abundant water?
Jan 9	comment	How many hours per day did a Sumerian farmer sleep? @defaultlocale Yes. In Russia before electric lightning, woman massively spinned during the dark time. It doesn't take much light.

Jan 1	comment	Are there any communist leaders without a record of acts we consider as a crime (against humanity)? @astabada And? Where is equality between Marx and Lenin? Or for you, Nizsche should really answer for Hitler's crimes?
Jan 1	comment	Are there any communist leaders without a record of acts we consider as a crime (against humanity)? @astabada "The only practic crimes they did were these of Engels as usual capitalist of those days and Marx, when he sometimes published articles of Engels as own works" Where had I compared Lenin and Marx? Your text is a standard commi lie, nothing more.
Dec 29	answered	How many Russian people did Tsar Ivan IV (“the Terrible”) kill?
Dec 29	comment	How many Russian people did Tsar Ivan IV (“the Terrible”) kill? bibliotekar.ru/istoriya/117.htm - 7 mln up to the end of the century, hist1.narod.ru/Science/Russia/Crisis.htm - 9 mln at the middle of the century. The last work names one more explanation - limit of the usable natural resources.
