>So, the answer to OP's question is, no.

That's the title of the article/episode, not a question I was asking. I listened to the podcast first before posting it, it's pretty good!

literacy?? I think you mean WITCHCRAFT

How dare you read things?!?

I know that he was at first only MP for Huntingdon but then he led the Ironside Cavalry at Marston Moor in 1644 (and won).

I, an Irish American, consistently root against English soccer teams on the international stage bc of Cromwell. My friends think it’s weird but I’ve been on a binge researching him, the Long Parliament, colonization of Ireland, Murder of ancestors,etc. A god-besotted dictator, what our “conservatives” wish for this country.

Thank you for taking the time to share!

You! My room, 10 30, tonight. You! 10 45.

...

Bring a friend.

I absolutely love history. Lately I’ve been studying the French Revolution. Did Robespierre want to stop the reign of terror even though he is considered the main leading figure behind it or was he as radical and unhinged as he is depicted in history? Why did they agree to execute him? Did he turn his back on his egalitarian beliefs and become too self important and king-like?

Fantastical pyramids like those found in South America, Egypt and Asia are simply impossible to build in Arctic and Antarctic locations with the technology available to the historical habitants of those areas. That's why you can't find anything.

1. Materials and tools. The materials pyramids are constructed from are typically obtained from quarries — open pit mines in the ground. This is... not very possible, to say the least. The grounds of extremely cold places like the Arctic and Antarctic are permafrost: soil whose groundwater is totally frozen. The peoples of the Arctic didn't have tools that would have allowed them to easily get through this permafrost, much less harvest rock for pyramids. Only some groups had access to metals like iron (see: the Cape York meteorite), and none had advanced forging available to them to refine metals for greater use.

2. Work environment. The Arctic environment maintains a very high and consistent level of deadliness that workers would have to work through, which is nigh impossible. In contrast, most if not all pyramids were built in environments that didn't actively kill people.

3. People. There has been no record of any permanent or long-lasting human habitation in Antarctica. As for the people of the Arctic, there's plenty of evidence for habitation but none on the scale of a permanently established city. The pyramids you describe took a ton of time and labour to make, from populations that simply did not exist in the Arctic.

He also made time to butcher the British as well. So there is that?

Good question OP - YES he did! - and everyone hated him for it. He was a PURITAN. Remember the episode in Blackadder Great Boo's Up? They were Puritans.

I will explain: Cromwell thought Christmas should be spent in quiet contemplation of the scriptures, not getting pissed and having fun. The general populace disagreed - they liked getting pissed. Soldiers roamed the streets - any women with a painted face was grabbed and had her make up removed with a dirty rag. Anyone cooking goose would get their doors kicked in and it taken away.

After the Restoration of the monarchy the King had Cromwell's body dug up and he was hanged. He had been dead a few years so it must have been difficult. I think he was buried at Thyburn? Marble Arch - where they hanged common criminals. His body is in the middle of the road. Not sure ? And I seem to remember his head went missing? Someone please confirm

History is so much fun.

HAPPY CHRISTMAS!

Did the great Wall of China cause the Eurasian steppe nomads to migrate West? Just a theory I read about that the great Wall made it difficult for tribes to move in great numbers, so instead if moving south the nomads went westward displacing other tribes which forced them to migrate West until some reached Europe.

He destroyed Irish heritage

Yeah actually I found a version online that is 1:50 long. It had 2 minutes of extra credits/context and the other 4 minutes of difference I think was in the FPS. Someone suggested to me that even all of the 10 minute difference could be explained by FPS so I am almost at peace now.

I'll save you a click:

"For all the things we can throw at Cromwell’s feet, the banning of Christmas in England and Wales is not really one of them."

So, the answer to OP's question is, no.

Edit: I counted, the answer to OP's question is FOURTEEN lengthy paragraphs down the article.

Oliver Cromwell! Lord Protector of England (and his warts)

Because it’ll hurt more, you twit

Where is the original copy of the German Armistice Papers (1918)

I don’t know anything about this guy, except the year he was born and the year he died. And his name. Other than that, I know nothing about him.

Msot fascinating, thanks alot!

Contrary to the Jewish people (who are, you know, actually a thing) there is no single definition of who is a witch. There is not a parallel community that was tolerated and then marginalized. Who was targeted vary from time to time and place to place. In some places mostly men, in other mostly women. Sometimes the witches are lone actors, for the 17th century puritans there was a global conspiracy against Christendom (akin to contemporary global conspiracies). But usually it’s the people who are different or not liked. Foreigners, unmarried adults, those who live alone or are not as pious as others… and women who do not fit the mold. Widows, those who know “secrets” (traditional midwives and healers),… it varies a lot but it’s those who are already “suspects”.
