the end of the Ordovician and in the beginning of
the Silurian, the land was desolate and empty.
Barren, hardly withered rock grounds, empty sand-,
gravel- and clay plains, no green. Maybe some
lichens. And at wet spots some algae with a couple
of spider-like little creatures creeping around.
In the neighbourhood of the mouth of rivers, where
the water regularly flooded the land, it was

Educated? In my opinion, this is todays view on
what education is. It is less of a conquest of

Instead of seizing and killing him, as Claudius
was almost sure they would do, they raised him up
on their shoulders and made him emperor! Many
writers have depicted Claudius as kind of a
befuddled, harmless old man who had been made
Emperor so that Romans would have someone in high
places to make fun of. In tru...

the Pizarro-led conquest of Peru for its ruthless
destruction of Incan civilisation. Now it is

their half-millennium of physical and cultural

thinks that his fathers rules are unjust; he
thinks that if he rebels then maybe his father
will change those rules. Rebellion may manifest

tantrum. Some historians have argued that the
above situation was very similar to the latin
american uprising against the spanish crown.
