Yeah, the old way is to prime it with sugar and seal it to create the carbonation after the fermentation cycle. Home brewers do this to carbonate in bottles. I don't know how this would have been done back in the 1800s. Bottled beer would be expensive to transport vs barrels, but do barrels go flat after they're tapped?

There's a lot of variables that if there was a process it would be interesting. At the same time it would make more sense to just serve wine and liquor.

The Tempest stela from 18th Dynasty Egypt has been much discussed and debated. Many scholars believe it describes damage and odd weather caused by the eruption of Thera, but this remains uncertain.

At least re carbonation I don’t think old timey beer was carbonated with CO2 or anything, it was probably flatter

and Catallus has poems about it.

What is the spiciest old world spice? Since all chilies are mesoamerican.

Something else I have wondered is, did they have beer? Beer would be tough to have out in places with no refrigeration and tough to keep carbonated I would think.

Aristophanes coined a term meaning "an unrealistic or ridiculous utopia" in his satirical play "The Birds" in 414 ce. That term was later (much later-- 1800s) translated as "Cuckoo Cloud Land" or "Cloud Cuckoo Land." It's not much of a stretch to apply the beliefs of Cloud Cuckoo Land to the cuckoos themselves. Additionally, cuckolding referred to a woman's infidelity, often as an insult to her husband (unrelated to Cloud Cuckoo Land; most likely related to the cuckoos' hiding their eggs to be raised by other birds), again, painting the poor cuckoo in a less-than-flattering light.

How did the Politburo work in the USSR?

• “Hopefully this is of some use to you. Good luck with the search, buddy!”

Did the Vietnam war have any positive affect on relations between white and black Americans since they went on patrols with each other and had probably never spent so much time with one another before?

Does anyone have suggestions for something that advances George Hourani's Arab Seafaring? I was moving some old books around from undergrad and remembered how fond I was of it, but it was published in '95 so I'm hoping there's something more current that built off it.

Follow up: we know the Old West was violent but are there any stats of how many people were actually killer's or a percentage of the population which was killed?

Bowing is a sign of deference or respect.

The right hand in front to show you are weaponless.

The left behind, to hide your “evil” or dirty hand.

In the USA it was considered pretty nutty before the late 70s or 80s to run for exercise or fun unless it was for a particular sport. Jogging was getting a start in the late 60s, but the long distance for no reason was frowned upon by orthopedists.

Lots of churches had paintings and sculptures.

So, this probably has a more modern explanation, but I remember learning about an Ancient Greek play, The Birds, which references a “cloud cuckoo land.” Why do we use it today? Probably one of those Victorian era cultural things that caught on.

Edit: A quick search seems to corroborate this. Also maybe the inspiration for being on “cloud nine.”

It was instrumental for every reason I just listed

Another answer is: fking soviets wanted to spread fking communism to the Europe. And Poland was the first country on their way.

Why do some men bow with one hand in front of their stomach and one hand behind their back?

Wife and I were in Williamsburg today before her marathon next week, and it had me wondering:

Since the Olympics existed for so long, how common has it been over the millennia for humans to run for fun? Or to get dedicated exercise in general? (E.g., push ups, sit ups, and those sorts of basic exercises, even if they didn’t look exactly like we do them today)

This was triggered by seeing a couple out for a run in historic Williamsburg, VA, and it made me wonder how out of place someone running like that would be in the 18th and 19th centuries.

They had museums back then, but, in England at least, you could also go tour private homes when the family was away and private collections often had works by great masters.

Translation 4 Ya:The National Archives in The Hague seems like a good place to start. On the site under "research", "help with your research" you can already search specifically under "World War II", "Military and Navy personnel" etc.
You can also view archive documents in person, see site under: "research", "plan your visit".
(nationaalarchief.nl/onderzoeken)
Otherwise, the local library or municipality of Rotterdam, for example, may also have some archives about that time that you can view on request.
