[God]

Anybody can take this question for me. I can't come up with one at the moment. I'll write some down and see next time.

 

[willemvanoranje]

of course

Who/What or Where is Gilgamesh?

 

[Bifrost]

The legendary king of Uruk. I still remember a picture where Gilgamesh was holding a lion just like it was some kitten.

willemvanoranje, whhhheeeeeere aarrrreeeeeee youuuuuu?

 

[willemvanoranje]

sorry, in the staff forum ok, go ahead and ask the next question. Epic of gilgamesh is legendary

 

[Bifrost]

Excuse me, but I can't forbid myself to post some question on Russian History again, so.

Who was the first ruler of Russia who called himself "Tsar of the whole Russia" ;and Who was the first Russian Emperor?

it is very, very, very simple question

 

[Kennelly]

Don't Tsar and Emperor mean the same?

Anyway,just a try,Ivan the terrible?

 

[willemvanoranje]

I think it must be Ivan III, who united a lot of smaller states back in the 15th and early 16th century....the first russian emperor...I don't quite understand: you mean like the first czar of the united russia (so it oughta be the same then right?)

 

[God]

Ivan 3?

 

[God]

willemvanoranje beat me to it. Same minute!

 

[willemvanoranje]

oh great, 3 posts again

 

[Bifrost]

Actually Tsar and Emperor are different things. There must be two different persons, and you must wruite, who of them was the first tsar and who was the first emperor.Ivan III was the first Prince of United Russia, but not the Tsar (or Czar).

 

[God]

Ivan the Terrible- 1st Tsar

 

[God]

Peter the Great- 1st emperor of Russia?

Or is it Ivan 3

 

[Bifrost]

WELL DONE GOD!!! the correct answers are: 1st Tsar - IvanIV the terrible and the first emperor - Peter I the Great. God was the first who named them BOTH. But I'm a bit surprised with his "or is it Ivan3" the emperor title is considered to be higher than tsar title, so how was it possible for Ivan III to have the title of higher rank than Ivan IV did?

God, are you still too busy to ask us something. I wish you were not, you seem to know much, so you could find some interesting questions.

 

[God]

My computer crashed so I didn't even know if my second post on Peter got through.

I'm not good with questions. I rather answer them.

 

[willemvanoranje]

then I'll just ask again from Russia we once again move south to the Arabic peninsula. The domination of which culture of Mesopotamia could be seen as the actual end of the Mesopotamian high-cultures. (I'll take two different answers as the right one for reasons I'll explain later)

 

[God]

Persian culture?

 

[mordhiem]

Macedonia? If you count the Persians as derived from Mesopotamian culture.

 

[mordhiem]

Wait just read the question again.

Greek culture? Since Macedonians were bbasicly Greek by the time Alexander was flexing his muscles.
