Apr 20	revised	What would be a typical rank for KGB intelligence offices spying abroad in the 1980s? added 143 characters in body
Apr 20	comment	Which parts of the Townshend Act were repealed in 1770? Where did you disappear @Luke? I remember us being head to head in terms of rep, and then you vanished. The site is not as much fun without some friendly competition ;)

Apr 18	comment	Who was Yoshioka Matashichiro? @kartshan I asked an Anime & Manga moderator if a question about Ueda ryuhei would be on topic on their site, and it seems it would be, so you should ask there.
Apr 18	comment	Who was Yoshioka Matashichiro? @kartshan No idea ;)
Apr 18	comment	Who was Yoshioka Matashichiro? @kartshan Well, yes, the second quote describes how the feud is presented in the comic, I imagine it's very similar. The reason I included the quote is that it claims the comic's story is a variation, thus probably not 100% historically accurate.

Apr 16	revised	Did Pythagoras visit Judaea, Arabia, and/or India? added 6 characters in body
Apr 16	comment	Did Pythagoras visit Judaea, Arabia, and/or India? As an aside: Diogenes notes in a passage that he isn't absolutely certain that the Pythagoras he's talking about (in that passage) is the Pythagoras. It appears the Samian philosopher was elusive even in Diogenes times.

Apr 16	comment	Did Pythagoras visit Judaea, Arabia, and/or India? @defaultlocale Found a freely available english translation of the text here: archive.org/details/livesandopinions00dioguoft - The passage above is the third passage on the chapter on Pythagoras.

Apr 15	comment	Is there a possibility that the Islamic civilization visited America before Colombus? @coleopterist (and Joe) To clarify: I didn't flag the answer or anything drastic like that. My point is that an evaluation of the source, albeit helpful, is not a preferable answer. The OP already doubts the source (or they wouldn't have asked) and every future reader of this Q&A thread will probably not even have heard of the source. Visitors that'll find our site via searching the web for evidence of Islamic presence in the Americas will only care about that, and not about an evaluation of an article on some random website.
Apr 15	revised	What is the source of this quote about Demosthenes by Philip II of Macedon? edited tags; edited title
Apr 15	comment	Is there a possibility that the Islamic civilization visited America before Colombus? @coleopterist You don't really need to be familiar with the basis for these claims to answer the question, all you need to be familiar with is if there are evidence to suggest Islamic presence in the Americas before Columbus.
