@GMKoon I vaguely remember that question…Was it the one where some one was sent to collect (silver?) and bring it back to the king, but instead he took it to his house so the king ordered him to be (tied to an ox?). I think I said something along the lines that the king’s punishment methods were just and his took misconduct of his workers seriously.

@hsc927 Not that I can remember, do you remember what the question was asking?

@violinvirtuoso3 I think it was a question with a quotation that essentially says although the old social hierarchy has been eliminated, a social hierarchy still exists? I thought of Lenin’s April Theses, but I might be wrong

@GMKoon I got the same answer as @violinvirtuoso3 on that question

what did you get for the question where it asked for constantine’s greatest achievement?

I put he allowed religious toleration for Christians and ended their persecution

@violinvirtuoso3 same

There was one question where it asked why the Byzantine empire continued on while the Roman Empire fell?

@violinvirtuoso3 I agree with the Christianity religion answer too

@GMKoon I agree with @violinvirtuoso3 for the king at the mountain question.

@flowerboy I said because they had enough wealth to keep operating… But I’m iffy on my answer now.

I second guessed myself on the first question about storing crops underground. Turns out I had it right. #-o

Was it Nehru who said Pakistan was the problem in Indian independence? I had a 3 way tie between Ghandhi, Nehru, and Jinnah. I ended up skipping it >_>

@flowerboy I said something like fewer class distinctions and less conflict, but I think that was wrong

@Ngzk07 I put Nehru. For me it was between him and Jinnah

@Ngzk07 @flowerboy I said Jinnah

What did you guys put for the Gold Coast question? My answer had something to do with Senegal and the Niger Valley on the Atlantic coastline, but I’m not sure that’s right.

That was what I put and I google image searched “Africa’s Gold Coast” and most of the maps include the area between Senegal and Ghana so I think that is correct.

@flowerboy @Ngzk07 I wrote that the Byzantine Empire continued because of its religious tolerance (unlike the Roman Empire which persecuted religious minorities)

what was a country that wasn’t a french colony?

@violinvirtuoso3 @flowerboy @Ngzk07 I said Muhammad Ali Jinnah for that question (he was the one who paved way for Pakistan to be an independent nation, right?)

Yeah there was a question with Lenin as answer.

It was a quote.
