Did you know Native Americans considered everything
the tribe owned as community space.
Native Americans were the people living in the
Americas before the Europeans arrived. Each tribe had its own land, which consisted
of a village and hunting grounds. Whatever land the tribe owned was community
space meaning it belonged to everyone in the tribe. People could use it for all
their needs. But after the Europeans arrived, they started asking for land,
which the Native Americans gave willingly but not knowing the Europeans would
keep it for themselves. The Native Americans thought they could use it as communal
space and started entering the Europeans land, this led to conflicts between
the 2 groups.
Did you know that Akbar owned pet cheetahs?!
In the 16th century when Akbar ruled Asiatic cheetahs were still found in India. Akbar was fond of hunting and used to go
on hunting expeditions. They used to hunt animals like tigers, elephants, rhinoceroses
and deer. For this they needed fast and agile animals who were capable of hunting
other animals and the perfect animal for this was the cheetah. I wonder if any
cheetah gobbled up its caretaker. You can now see Asiatic cheetahs only in
Iran.
Did you know the Inuits don’t have a word for ‘war’?
The Inuits are the tribes that live in the North
American Arctic. The Inuits don’t have
a word for ‘war’ as they have always been a peaceful people, this is the reason
they don’t have a word for ‘war’. They are also the only culture that don’t
have the word. They sure are Buddhas.
Some of you reading this may be vegetarian and
some of you must be non-vegetarian but some Neanderthals were cannibals and ate
brains of other Neanderthals!
Cannibals are people who eat other humans or in
this case other Neanderthals. Neanderthals in the Stone-Age ate other Neanderthals
brains in times when they couldn't find food easily but sometimes for pleasure too! Yuck!
Yuck! Yuck! You can read about this in
the book Savage Stone Age by Terry Deary.
Very well written
