[Akhhorus]

Wasn't there an Egyptian monarch who reigned around 90 years? Don't know the name though.

mfG mitsho

Pepi III. But he wasnt in Europe...

 

[MCdread]

Yeah, that's the one I have in mind. Pepi or Nepi, something like that.

 

[MCdread]

Pepi III. But he wasnt in Europe...

Oops, that'll teach me to read the answers only after reading the question properly.

 

[mitsho]

If we are now how long monarchs did reign another question to this subject:
Louis XIV. is not the person who reigned a country for the longest time. Who is the ruler with the most (known) time as monarch?

@akhorus, where does he state that it has to be an European 'leader'?

mfG mitsho

 

[thetrooper]

King Rama IX of Thailand.

I can't find any references to Europe either...

 

[Verbose]

Pepi III. But he wasnt in Europe...

To the best of my knowledge there were never more than two Pepis, I and II, and nr II became pharao when he was 6 and lived to the ripe old age of 102. And then the Old Kingdom (dyn. 3-6) came crashing down.

mfG mitsho

it was my question:
"Who was the longest reigning European Monarch? Who and when?"

pretty clear.

it was Pepi II. He reigned for 90 years.

[Adler17]

Verbose, it is your turn. Although Akhhorus was first giving the name he lacked in age and prper name. That´s why it is your turn.
Oh Pepi should have reigned 94 (!) years. Imazing. Nevertheless after his death Egypt had a phase of internal struggle and chaos.

[Akhhorus]

nevermind.

 

[Verbose]

Yikes! I was just passing by! I never meant to... (*mumble, mumble...*)

But OK, here goes, and still sticking to Egypt.

Who was the genius credited with the construction of the first Egyptian pyramid?
It's someone who has been called "the first individual in history" as he wasn't royalty but still left a mark.

 

[thetrooper]

Imhotep (I need 10... got it).

 

[Adler17]

The Mummy (Movie):
IMHOTEP...IMHOTEP...IMHOTEP...IMHOTEP...IMHOTEP...IMHOTEP...IMHOTEP...IMHOTEP...

 

[Verbose]

Well, right you are.

Imhotep (or Ijemhotep),
the guy who got the Egyptians hooked on pyramids and stone architecture (mudbrick only prior to him).
The man behind the first pyramid, 3d dynasty pharao Zozer's step pyramid at Saqqara.
Eventually, in Graeco-Roman times, he was worshipped as a god himself, a god of healing.
Incidentally, his tomb has never been found, which leaves room for at bit of speculation.

Huzza! Huzza! Huzza!

Long time no science (Euler and von Humboldt were the only). My question is: who discovered the neutron (and in which year)?

 

[nonconformist]

Rutherford?

 

[thetrooper]

No, it was not Rutherford. I am looking for the real discovery, no postulate.

 

[nonconformist]

Then I can think only of Dalton.

 

[HolyEmperor]

Maybe... Bohr?
