Reply to Historical accuracy, Frontier House by BrightEyEz703
"Virgin" land (specifically in this context) typically doesn't translate to "uninhabited" but rather "unworked", meaning all of the resources used for agriculture and construction haven't been tapped, altered, or processed in any measurable way for the advancement of whatever Western civilization influence comes into contact with it first. It's more of a matter of semantic accuracy, not necessarily historic accuracy.

There is a theory about all the red okra painting that was happening by humanity across the world at similar times. Red okra is still used today by certain tribes as a natural sunscreen. Humans may have been experiencing either increased solar activity, or a decrease in earths magnetic field, which caused them to both use a sunscreen, and spend far more time in caves.

It is very interesting. At first, I really wonder how he builds his kingdom

I wouldn't be surprised at all if one million years ago there were hobby painters.

Reply to comment by Plebs-_-Placebo in Saint Anthony of Padua revealed in stunning facial approximation by boozy81
We kind of have Catholicism embedded into the portuguese culture, even if you are not religious, and you hear about St. Anthony at least twice every year when in Lisbon they celebrate the St. Anthony's weddings or his festival in June.

I work with spreadsheets/finance all day after getting my history degree. Does anyone think it’d be a funny niche account to make historical meme spreadsheets? Any ideas?
