4. BEST OF FRIENDS with a Horse


We’re used to think that dogs are man’s best friend. For Caligola it was a bit different. In fact the young emperor had a special bond with his horse, Incitatus. According to many historians and writers of the time, Incitatus lived in a marble stable, with an ivory manger from which he would eat barley sprinkled with gold.

Suetonius writes that Caligola loved his horse so much that he proclaimed it a consul - a very powerful position- just to mock the Senate.





5. THE GREAT BATTLE AGAINST THE SEA

Before dying, Caligola led an ill-conceived battle in Britain, reaching as the farthest he could.
So the emperor declared war on Neptune, the God of water and all oceans[b]. Caligula had his men whip the waves of the Mediterranean sea and collect seashells as war prizes.[/b]




So these are the facts I believe are most interesting about the character that Caligula was. Let me know if you discover any others while in Rome!

But you ssay this is why people study pythagoras... me am still looking for the why.

engrchykae:
it's because he learnt in Egypt,the Egyptians don't eat beans,this is because beans causes oxidation.
The Egyptians knew more than we can ever know.
The Egyptians admitted Greek students as oversea students,students such as Socrates, Pythagoras until Aristotle decided to use Alexander to loot the libraries of Egypt and hence turn the world from Afrocentric to eurocentric.
Now we are the oversea students.

i have to revisit this coment to set record straight bro. thats not what am sayng

WoundedLamb:
Don't let an architect see this comment.

Mathematics is science and not technology. Just like every other scientific theory or mathematical theorem, pythagoras provides the logic behind many structures you see around you. Technology is the application of science and geometry is not any different. What you see is the finished work but only those involved at the development phase know the principles applied. Geometry is applied in architecture. Given two straight lines, the pythagorean theorem allows you to calculate the length of the diagonal connecting them. This basic application can be seen in virtually every architectural work out there.

Regarding the OP, I really wonder why Africans are so rich in conspiracy theories even when it's not logical. They make you study an occult theorem in school, to what end? What have they gained for making you study their theory? Science (including Mathematics) is a product of philosophy and technology is a product of science. So screaming that pythagoras is deep rooted in philosophy is like telling us that Nigerians are blacks. As an African man, if you don't understand something, study it or leave it to face your own field. You guys don't always have to wind stories around things you don't understand.

Queen Amina was a great leader and a warrior that conquered Kingdoms. She became the queen of Zazzau after her brother's death in the 16th century.

She ruled for 34 years, and those 34 years was wars from one Kingdom to another she conquers. Other Hausa kingdoms brought tributes to her.

She was so engrossed to power that she did not give birth, nor had a family of her own. This was due to the fear of losing her powers.

She slept with captured men during her expedition to satisfy herself. Afterward she behead them the next day to keep it a secret. This act of hers also led to her demise. As one of the men she slept with escaped. She became so worried that she took her own life.

Her story is not a myth, its documented by history scholars across history.

She is well honoured in Nigeria. Schools are named after her. Monument built for her.

realestate99:
you are correct, world history is vastly edited to favour a " particular group "
1. They did not tell us that the old Assyrians and Jews were dark skinned just like the Egyptians.
Syrian king konon
of Dura - Europos and all his family were black ( from archeological evidence such as paintings) you can google it.




2. There were many evidences of black presence in the Americas before Christopher Columbus discovered the place, many years before the transatlantic slave trade.

3 The influence of moors in the Iberian peninsula has been massively downplayed by modern history curriculum.

4. how on earth would mungo park discover river Niger? a river that has been in existence thousands of years before his birth of Mungo Park in Scotland or Columbus discovering Americas despite stating in his books he met many "indigenous people" in most island waiving at his ship......maybe "discovery" means another thing entirely
it would be better if it is written like this "colombus discover Americas for the Portuguese" , going to someone's house and telling them that their orange tree is orange is a subtle way of saying they are dumb.

Huzormah:
@wearsandtrends1 julius caesar held almost absolute power, but he was not an emperor . The first roman emperor was his nephew, octavian caesar (caesar augustus). Julius descended also from a lineage of priests . Also,of all the 52 or so stabs,only one was lethal,and that was what killed arguably one of the foremost men who helped shape this modern times .

many valid points...
indeed he was not yet the emperor, but as you may already know, he was military leader and and head f the senate...
and was already being refferenced as the emperor before his death

EagleNest:
I will think Alexander the great, militarily is more successful and got all[b] these conquest done at very young age.[/b] Julius become powerful through military and that earned him also a political position to Senate thru which he rose to become an emperor.

I would rather you compare Julius Ceaser to Augustus Ceaser (Octavian), which of them is more successful?

well said sir.
on that basis i totaly agree with u

3 REASONS Erica is the Real Winner of the BBNaija Reality Show



The recently concluded Big Brother Naija lockdown reality television show was indeed a very entertaining one. From the first day, the housemates constantly dished out content while acquiring their respective fanbase and much more.

Nonetheless despite unprecedented twists and turns Laycon had emerged the winner of the popular reality show 2020 edition, much to the pleasure of so many BBNaija viewers who voted en-masse to show support for the shows underdog.

Despite all these happenings another big brother housemate who has stumbled on a massive fortune was the disqualified housemate Erica Nweldim.

So fortunate is this young lady that her shine has since eclipsed the now fainting GLORY of the BBnaija winner, Laycon and several housemates that also made it to the final.

In lieu of this rude awakening, I have decided to reveal 3 reasons why I believe Erica is the *real winner of the Big Brother show.

1. Cash prize Vs Donations

Believe it or not! what Laycon and several housemates had to struggle for, in the numerous weeks that the show aired live; came effortlessly for Erica on a platter of gold. As you can see from details on Erica's Gofundme. The sum of the money raised by fans on behalf of Erica, exceeds the winners cash price of 30MILLION which was Laycon's take away. Do the maths!

2. Endorsement Deals:Erica has bagged a few endorsement deals already, at a time that so many fans are still concerned that laycon may not have that refined public image to represent big corporations.

3. The Common fate of Big Brother winners:

It is quite unfortunate the somewhat similar fate that befalls a number of the Big brother naija winners. it is becoming increasingly obvious that the numerous winners of the game shoe find themselves fading into oblivion after a short sometime. recall big brother winners such as 'Efe' and 'miracle' who are struggling to stay relevant today. i fear the same fate may befall Laycon.

In conclusion i would like to highlight that it is the controversial personalities that are the true winners off the reality show. simply because, much like erica they stay relevant long after the show has ended.

Humans hate d truth.

A lot of stuff written back then were carefully crafted. Trust me.

How would u ever believe those things?

The dawn of civilization was crafted :O next u will say French revolution didn't exist. And Hitler is an imagination...

I can see through all the bullshit in your lame attempt to sound sophisticated. But if u deny knowledge ul forever be in the dark.
Do not engage me again before you infect me with your STUPIDITY

ThreeEyedRaven:
I still don't understand how your signature can changes anything. Can you please help explain. Thanks

The simple act of blogging bro.

On various levels
U cud do word(blogg), youtube, ebooks

I write on a platform where I get paid per click in 9ja. Which is basic, YouTube is elementary, ebooks is another level.

The real skill here is not how much u know, but how u make what you know a valuable content...
Like Op just did...

Finally if u no fit check my siggy to have a better understanding of what am saying, then ur not ready to MAKE MONEY FROM THIN AIR. I.e information dissemination

telkevog:
I appreciate all your comments here. You made my day!

However, don't mind this "fiction" man above me. May be he too would be a fiction one day.

No contest here, Alexander the Great is better and had principalities around the world. Alexander's plan was to conquer the world. Aristotle, the great philosopher is one of his teachers.

Don't be mistaken both of them had a similar quest. And when u consider the impact of their conquest Ceasar is greater

BROS I WILL NOT PARTAKE IN THIS HERESY U ARE ABOUT TO DRAG ME INTO
holy mary was niether unfaithful or questionable.
nice try doh

NNU0000:
They said the Holy Spirit came upon her and she conceived.They even had to warn Joseph not to divorce her.

sageb:
hmmm Anthony incited the citizens against those that murdered caesar. But your assertion that he rewarded himself with ceasar's wife, how did he do it? Explain so we will know what happened thereafter.

ARE YOU NOT AWARE OF THEIR FAMOUS AFFAIR, it was even more notorious than ceasar and cleopatra.
the way antonio hammered cleopatra after ceasar's passing you will thnk he was responsible for the death.


never the less there was no foul play because anthony was only in charge of the vast estate that caesar conquered

[quote author=WhizdomXX post=94598682]CEASAR HAD COUNTLESS WIVES

Memory does not serve me well so i will be brief.

1. Juluis ceasar & Pompeia


Have you heard of the famous quote "Caesar’s Wife Must Be Above Suspicion" about caesar This phrase comes an incident btw Julius Caesar and his first wife.

A man named Publius Pulcher sneaked into a party with the intention of seducing Caesar’s wife, Pompeia. This led to Publius’s arrest and trial.

After the trial, Caesar divorced Pompeia. When people questioned what this might have had to do with the trial of Publius, Caesar said,

“My wife ought not even to be under suspicion.”
Because Pompeia was under suspicion of illicit behavior, Caesar felt that he had to divorce her to protect his dignity.


2. Abacha & first Wife
Rumour has it that Abacha had divorced his first wife after a short stint in jail. the dictator who was in jail at the time was unable to care for his wife. despite been exposed she had gotten help from a friend of ABACHA, however when word got to him about the incident he had divorced her as a result
