| | | | | ancient history: Encyclopedia II - History of Goa - Ancient History Mahabharata refers to Goa as Goparashtra, ‘a nation of cowherds or of nomadic tribes’. Parshuram, the Hindu god, according to legend, flung his arrow on the coast and made the waters recede, thus founding the Konkan. The Southern Konkan was called Govarashtra. In ancient Indian texts in Sanskrit she is also known as Gopakapuri or Gapakapattana. This only corroborates the idea that Goa was a very prosperous State, since cattle was the criterion of wealth. The name Gomant for Goa also occurs in the said Indian epic Mahabharata and in the ...

There are no fixed or universally agreed dates for the beginning or the end of the Ancient Greek period. In common usage it refers to all Greek history before the Roman Empire, but historians use the term more precisely. Some writers include the periods of the Minoan and Mycenaean civilizations, while others argue that these civilizations were so different from later Greek cultures that they should be classed separately. Traditionally, the Ancient Greek period was taken to begin with the date of the first Olympic Games in 776 B ...

| | | | | ancient history: Encyclopedia II - Aegina - Ancient History Aegina, according to Herodotus (v. 83), was a colony of Epidaurus, to which state it was originally subject. The discovery in the island of a number of gold ornaments belonging to the latest period of Mycenaean art suggests the inference that the Mycenaean culture held its own in Aegina for some generations after the Dorian conquest of Argos and Lacedaemon (see A. J. Evans, in Journal of Hellenic Studies, vol. xiii. p. 195). It is probable that the island was not dorized before the 9th century BC One of the earliest facts known to us in its ...

Archeological excavations begun in 1985 led by Lawrence Stager of Harvard University are revealing the site with about 50 feet of accumulated rubble from successive Canaanite, Philistine, Phoenician, Hellenistic, Roman, Byzantine, Islamic, and Crusader occupation.
In the oldest layers are shaft graves of pre-Phoenician Canaanites. The city was originally built on a sandstone outcropping and has a good underground ...

| | | | | ancient history: Encyclopedia II - History of abortion - Ancient Prior to 476AD There is anthropological evidence that abortion has been practiced beginning in ancient times. Before the Middle Ages, women induced abortion with sharpened sticks, poisonous herbs, abdominal pressure, special exercises, and other techniques. Some ancient texts contain specific recipes for abortion or even descriptions of specialized medical instruments designed to remove a fetus from the womb. Some previous civiliz ...

The Carthaginians also visited, however neither group appears to have settled permanently. Plato refers to Gibraltar as one of the Pillars of Hercules along with Jebel Musa or Monte Hacho on the other side of the Strait.
Gibraltar was next visited by the Romans. Again, no permanent settlement was established. Following the fall of the Roman Empire, Gibraltar was visited by the Vandals and later the Goths. The Vandals' stay was temporary; h ...

| | | | | ancient history: Encyclopedia II - Otrar - Ancient history Near the place where Arys River flows into the Syr Darya lie the ruins of a town, the memory of which has survived throughout the ages. Despite many changes, it still retains its original name of Otrar. The town has become famous as the place where Abu Nasr Al-Farabi, the great philosopher of the Middle Ages, was born. Otrar, which was renamed Farab in the Middle Ages, was the capital of the Otrar-Farab district. From the west, the district extended to the Kzylkum desert, spread out between the Syr Darya and Amu Darya rivers.

| | | | | ancient history: Encyclopedia II - History of Dobruja - Ancient times Main article: Scythia Minor
The region was inhabited from early times by Getae-Dacians. In the 7th and 6th centuries BC several Greek colonies were founded, including Tomis (present-day Constanţa), Histria, Callatis, Dionysopolis, and Olbia, to facilitate trade with the local inhabitants.
In 480 BC the Thracians from the south extended their rule over Dobruja. In 339 BC it was conquered by Alexander the Great and brought under Macedonian rule, although their control weakened after his death. The Getae king Dromichaetes successfully defended Dobruja during two campaigns by Lysimachus, ...

| | | | | ancient history: Encyclopedia II - History of cats - Ancient Egypt The exact history of human interaction with cats is still somewhat vague. The earliest written records of attempts to domesticate cats date back to ancient Egypt, circa 4000 BC, where cats were employed to keep mice and rats away from grain stores. However, a gravesite discovered in 1983 in Shillourokambos, Cyprus, dating to 7500 BC, contains the skeletons of a ceremonially buried human and a type of young cat. Since cats are not native to Cyprus, this suggests that cats were domesticated (or just tamed) at least this early. The cat found in ...

Between about 400 and 750 AD, Nepal's present capital Kathmandu was ruled by the Licchavi kingdom. Archaeological evidence for this period mainly consists of stonework inscriptions, reckoned on two separate, consecutive eras. The former, Åšaka era has an epoch corresponding to 78 AD, whereas the latter Aṃshuvarmā or Mānadeva 2 era reckons from 576.
Whilst most such inscriptions list the dates and commissioners of stonework construction, some communicate royal edicts, religious mantras or hist ...

| | | | | ancient history: Encyclopedia II - Dao sword - Ancient history From the original bronze swords of the Shang dynasty, to the steel swords of the Qin dynasty through the Qing dynasty, the swords of China had either single-edge curved or double-edge straight blades, and usually had a tip for thrusting. In China, dao is known as one of the four major weapons, along with the spear, saber, and the sword, and referred to as "The Courage of All Soldiers". Towards the end of the Han Dynasty, the single-edged dao became increasingly favored over the jian, since the dao was a much more effective cavalry weapon. Th ...

History of Kuwait - The Greeks.
In 3rd century BC the Ancient Greeks colonized the island Failaka under Alexander the Great and named it "Ikarus".

Others however believe it was named so due to its heat and the belief that it was close to the sun.

History of the Gay Community - Ancient Greece & Rome.
The earliest documents concerning same-sex pederastic relationships come from Ancient Greece. However, Kenneth J. Dover has claimed that such relationships did not replace marriage between man and woman, but occurred before and beside it. A mature man would never have a mature male mate, one notable exception being Alexander the Great, but he would be the erastes (lover) to a young eromenos (loved one). In this relationship it was considered ...

History of Syria - Eblan civilization.
Main article: Ebla
Archaeologists have demonstrated that civilization in Syria was one of the most ancient on earth. Around the excavated city of Ebla in northern Syria, discovered in 1975, a great Semitic empire spread from the Red Sea north to Turkey and east to Mesopotamia from 2500 to 2400 B.C. Ebla appears to have been founded around 3000 BC and gradually built its empire through trade with the cities of Sumer and Akkad, as well as with peoples to the nort ...
