Secondly, it is generally claimed that Bengal was the home of a form of Buddhism, namely, the Tantric Buddhism. Tantric Buddhism is a later development in Bengal and therefore it remains to be seen what specific factors are responsible for tu ...

The geological record strongly indicates that "great earthquakes" (those with magnitude 8 or higher) occur in the Cascadia subduction zone about every 500 years on average, often accompanied by tsunamis. There is evidence for at least 13 events at intervals of from 300 to 900 years, with an average of 590 years. Previous earthquakes are estimated to have occurred in 1310, 810 and 170 BC. Other subduction zones usually have such earthquakes every 100–200 years; the longer interval here may indicate unusually large stress b ...

See Demographics of Islam. Present estimates generally stem from the 1980s before or slightly after the Iran-Iraq War indicate that some 79% of the world's Muslims are Sunni and approximately 19% are Shi'a. One of the lingering problems in estimating the Shi'a population is that unless the Shi'a form a significant minority in a Muslim country, the entire population of it has been listed as Sunni. The reverse, however, has not been held true. This is c ...

Even though Rurik was probably legendary, there is a controversy about his ethnic origins in Eastern Europe.

Jutland is a long peninsula in Northern Europe, and the current Schleswig-Holstein is its southern part. The old Scandinavian sagas give the impression that Jutland has "always" been divided into a northern and a southern part with the border running along the Kongeå River. Taking into account both archeological findings and Roman sources, however, one could conclude that the Jutes inhabited both the Kongeå region and the more northern part of the peninsula, while the Angles lived approximately where the towns Haithabu and Schleswig ...

Charlemagne's personal appearance is not known from any contemporary portrait, but it is known rather famously from a good description of Einhard, who wrote his biography Vita Caroli Magni. He is well known to have been tall, stately, and fair-haired, with disproportionately thick neck. As Einhard tells it in his 22nd chapter: Charles was large and strong, and of lofty stature, though not disproportionately tall (his height is well known to have been seven times the length of his foot); the upper part of his head was r ...
