Matthew FrommPublished 2 months ago in HistoryChasing Myself
I'm not old. I hope to be one day, but I suppose everyone does, in some way or another. Most people don't fantasize of wrinkles or denture cream or canes, practical shoes or non-slip bath mats. I can't say I've ever daydreamed about what retirement home any future family will put me in. I can only hope I make it that far.

Judey KalchikPublished 5 months ago in HistoryThe Posthumous Execution of Oliver Cromwell
Some events from history are so strange that we should all take a moment, look back, and collectively say WTF. This is one of those. It's about a man so hated that his corpse was dug up for the sole purpose of mutilating it because being dead wasn't good enough (bad enough?) for those who hated him. Can you think of anything more hate-fueled that could happen to a dead body?

The Savages of Africa… In 1931, the famous French ethnographer Professor Griol visited West Africa. I studied one of the unremarkable tribes called the “Dogons”. It was in the Sudanese lands of the bend of the Niger River (today the territory of the Republic of Mali). The Dogons did not stand out among their neighbors in terms of civilization, but the professors were surprised and interested in the unusual oral traditions and myths of the tribe.

The history of the Pandya dynasty spans over two glories, offering a rich shade of political conspiracy, artistic flourishing, and military vanquishing. From its fabulous origins to its eventual decline, the Pandya dynasty left an unforgettable mark on the history of South India. Legend traces the origins of the Pandya dynasty to the fabulous figure of Kadungon, who's said to have ruled over the region of Madurai around the 6th century BCE. still, it was during the Sangam period( 3rd century BCE to 3rd century CE) that the Pandya area truly began to flourish. The Pandya lords were known for their patronage of Tamil literature and trades, and their rule saw the emergence of great muses and scholars, similar as Avvaiyar and Tiruvalluvar. During this period, the Pandya area reached its meridian under outstanding autocrats like Nedunjeliyan I and Nedunjeliyan II. They expanded their home and established trade relations with foreign powers, including the Roman Empire. The Pandya lords were also known for their nonmilitary prowess, which allowed them to control economic trade routes in the Indian Ocean. still, the substance of the Pandya area attracted the attention of rival powers, particularly the Cholas and the Cheras. The constant struggle for supremacy among these dynasties led to centuries of conflict and shifting alliances. One of the most notorious battles in Pandya history is the Battle of Talikota in 1565, where the concerted forces of the Deccan Sultanates defeated the Vijayanagara Empire, which had been a loyal supporter of the Pandya area. Despite facing external pitfalls, the Pandya dynasty continued to thrive culturally and economically. The period between the 7th and 9th centuries is frequently appertained to as the" Golden Age" of the Pandya area, marked by a flourishing of art, armature, and literature. tabernacles similar as the Meenakshi Temple in Madurai and the Kailasanathar Temple in Kanchipuram were erected during this time, showcasing the architectural brilliance of the Pandya crafters. The 13th century saw the rise of the Delhi Sultanate in North India, which posed a new challenge to the Pandya dynasty. The Sultanate launched several peregrinations into South India, leading to the eventual annexation of the Pandya area. still, the Pandya lords continued to repel foreign domination, and their spirit of defiance inspired unborn generations to fight for independence. The 16th century witnessed the appearance of European powers, particularly the Portuguese, who sought to establish control over the economic spice trade. The Pandya area came bogged in conflicts with the Portuguese, leading to the loss of precious littoral homes. still, the Portuguese presence also brought new technologies and ideas to the region, contributing to the artistic exchange between East and West. By the 18th century, the formerly- potent Pandya dynasty had been reduced to a shadow of its former tone. The rise of the British East India Company further weakened the authority of the Pandya lords, and in 1801, the area was officially adjoined by the British Empire. The last ruling Pandya king, Varaguna Pandya, was expatriated to Varanasi, marking the end of an period in South Indian history. Despite the demise of the Pandya dynasty as a political reality, its heritage endured through the centuries. The artistic and architectural achievements of the Pandya lords continue to inspire admiration and admiration, and their benefactions to Tamil literature and culture remain an integral part of South Indian identity. The story of the Pandya dynasty serves as a testament to the adaptability of the mortal spirit in the face of adversity, and its echoes can still be heard in the vibrant shade of South Indian culture moment.
