In Genesis chapter eight, verse four, it says that the Ark of Noah landed on the mountain of Ararat. Today the mountains of Ararat contains what is called Lesser Ararat, which peaks around 12,000 feet, and Greater Ararat which reaches heights of nearly 17,000 feet. These mountains that border Turkey and Iran has long been.
According to Genesis 8:4, the Ark came to rest "on the mountains of Ararat." Early commentators such as Josephus, and authorities quoted by him, Berossus, Hieronymus the Egyptian, Mnaseas, and Nicolaus of Damascus, record the tradition that these "mountains of Ararat" are to be found in the region then known as Armenia, roughly corresponding to Eastern Anatolia.

Gavin Hardy and Laurence Totelin have brought together their botanical and historical knowledge to produce this unique overview of ancient botany. It examines all the founding texts of botanical science, such as Theophrastus' Enquiry into Plants, Dioscorides' Materia Medica, Pliny the Elder's Natural History, Nicolaus of Damascus' On Plants, and Galen' On Simple Remedies, but also includes lesser known texts ranging from the sixth century Bce to the seventh century Ce, as well as some material evidence. The authors adopt a thematic approach rather than a chronological one, considering important issues such as the definition of a plant, nomenclature, classifications, physiology, the link between plants and their environment, and the numerous usages of plants in the ancient world. The book also takes care to place ancient botany in its historical, social and economic context. The authors have explained all technical botanical terms and ancient history notions, and as a result, this work will appeal to historians of ancient science, medicine and technology; classicists; and botanists interested in the history of their discipline.

About Scythians - A Szkítákról https://www.flickr.com/photos/66406783@N04/
Read below/Olvasd alább;
Plato - "Take the quality of passion or spirit; it would be ridiculous to imagine that this quality, when found in States, is not derived from the individuals who are supposed to possess it, e.g. the Thracians, Scythians, and in general the northern nations"- The Republic
Nicolaus of Damascus writes that the Galactophagi Scythians are distinguished for righteousness and hold their property in common. Consequently they call all older man fathers and they contemporaries brothers, and among them nobody was said never, talking about hatred,fear,enviousness because of their way of life based on community and justice
The Scythians had a law that their children should learn three things particulalry, from the age of 5 to 20; to ride a horse well, to shoot well with bow, and never to tell a lie.
Nymphodorus in Scholia on Apollonius of Rhodius says, the Tibareni Scythians were the most justest and refused to engage in battle unless the hour, day and place were announced before; and thier costume was to sow manual. The Tibareni kept in bed their wifes and treated them after child-birth and they have numerous lambs and pastureland.
Xenophon describes the land of Tibareni as consisting of many fertile lands and posessing fortified places along the coast.
Ephorus says the Tibareni were the most laughter-loving and happy people.
Hyginus and Cassiodorus - Indus king of Scythia first discovered silver, which Erichthonius was first to bring to Athens.
Aeschylus talks about Scythian steel.
Hellanicus of Mytilene assigned the discovery of iron weapon and iron armour to Saneunus the Scythian
Heraclides Ponticus says the Scythians invented the bronze.
Plato writed that the Scythians and Thracians are famous peoples and live a happy life.
In the Caucasian Nart legend [saga] is said that Nart the Amazon invented the ironworking and the taming of horses
Aristotle - Lydus the Scythian invented the bronze melting and tempering
Plato says the Greeks recieved the letters from Hyperboreans (Scythians or Pelasgians)
Diodorus Siculus says that the wagon-lager war tactic and the fallanx is Scythian costume
Arrian and Aelianus Tacticus says the 'wedge-shaped' cavalry formation was first used by Scythians, which later was adopted by Thracians and Macedonians
Arrian says the Dracones is the Scythian stindard [standard]
Plato mentions 'The law of the Scythii' , 'o ton Schithon nomos', which contained dispositions regarding military instructions.
Hellanicus (Hellanikos) of Mytilene (of Lesbos) [490 b.c.] writes that the Hyperborean Scythians living beyond the Riphaeos [Ural] mountain don't eat meat just fruits from trees and are righteous people
Julius Pollux [2. century a.d.] says that the Scythians invented the pentachord [pentaton] music.
Plutarch in his Opera Moralia says about music of Hyperboreans and about sacred objects brought to Delos from the land of Hyperboreans, attended with harps, flutes,pipes.
Aethicus of Ister [3-4th century a.d.] affirms that Gryphon the Scythian [Magus Grypho], was inventor of ships and furnace for smithing.
Eustathius of Thessalonika [12th century] says the Maeotian Scythians are hardy in warfare and in practicing agriculture, are generous people, and all Scythians cultivate the land with grain [corn,cereals] and harvest it.
The Agathyrsi Scythians picted themselfs with blue signifying their rank of nobility [Solinus,Virgil,Plinius]
Solinus about the central Asian Scythians; Near Iaxartes live many people, who live with the gentile and incorrupted laws of Parthians from the beginning of times; this are the Massagetae, Issedones,Ariaci,Sacae,Dahae,Apalaei and Assai
Plinius about Hyperborean Scythians; The Atacori,Neuri,Geloni,Agathyrsi, etc. are the most happy peoples, who harvest at noon and at the sunset they collect fruits from trees, and they dont know about sickness.

The 7th to the 13th century was the golden age of Muslim learning.
In mathematics they contributed and invented the present arithmetical decimal system and the fundamental operations connected with it addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, exponentiation, and extracting the root.
They also introduced the 'zero' concept to the world. Some of the famous mathematicians of Islam are:
AL-KHOWARIZMI (780 - 850 CE)
Muhammad Ibn Musa Al-Khowarizmi, the father of algebra, was a mathematician and astronomer. He was summoned to Baghdad by Al-Mamun and appointed court astronomer. From the title of his work, Hisab Al-Jabr wal Mugabalah (Book of Calculations, Restoration and
Reduction), Algebra (Al-Jabr) derived its name.
A Latin translation of a Muslim arithmetic text was discovered in 1857 CE at the University of Cambridge library.
Entitled 'Algoritimi de Numero Indorum', the work opens with the words: 'Spoken has Algoritimi. Let us give deserved praise to God, our Leader and Defender'.
It is believed that this is a copy of Al-Khowarizmi's arithmetic text which was translated into Latin in the twelfth century by an English scholar. Al-Khowarizmi left his name to the history of mathematics in the form of Algorism (the old name for arithmetic).
Al-Khowarizmi emphasised that he wrote his algebra book to serve the practical needs of the people concerning matters of inheritance, legacies, partition, lawsuits and commerce.
In the twelfth century Gerard of Cremona and Roberts of Chester translated the algebra of Al-Khowarizmi into Latin. Mathematicians used it all over the world until the sixteenth century. It is generally assumed that Al-Khowarizmi was born around 780 CE in the town of Kath in the oasis of Khorzen. Kath is now buried in the sand.
AL-KINDI (801-873 CE)
Abu Yusuf Yaqub Ibn Ishaq Al-Kindi, was born around 801 CE in Kufa during the governership of his father.
The surname indicates ancestry in the royal tribe of Kindah of Yemenite origin. To his people he became known as Faylasuf Al-Arab (the philosopher of the Arabs) the first one in Islam.
Among his contributions to arithmetic, Al-Kindi wrote eleven texts on numbers and numerical analysis.
AL-KHARKHI
Abu Bakr ibn Hussein was born in Kharkh, a suburb of Baghdad. His works covered arithmetic, algebra and geometry. His work Al-Kafi fi Al-Hisab' (Essentials of Arithmetic) covers the rules of computation. His second work, Al- Fakhri' derived its name from Al- Kharki's friend the Grand Vizier of Baghdad.
Al-BATTANI (850-929 CE)
Muhammad Ibn Jabir Ibn Sinan Abu Abdullah, the father of trigonometry, was born in Battan, Mesopotamia and died in Damascus in 929 CE.
An Arab prince and governor of Syria, he is considered to be the greatest Muslim astronomer and mathematician.
Al-Battani raised trigonometry to higher levels and computed the first table of cotangents.
AL-BIRUNI (973-1050 CE)
Al-Biruni was among those who laid the foundation for modern trigonometry. He was a philosopher, geographer, astronomer, physicist and mathematician. Six hundred years before Galgeo, Al-Biruni discussed the theory of the earth rotating about its own axis.
Al-Biruni carried out geodisic measurements and determined the earth's circumference in a most ingenious way. With the aid of mathematics, he enabled the direction of the Qibla to be determined from anywhere in the world.
In the domain of trigonometry, the theory of the functions; sine, cosine, and tangent was developed by Muslim scholars of the tenth century. Muslim scholars worked diligently in the development of plane and spherical trigonometry. The, trigonometry of Muslims is based on Ptolemy's theorem but is superior in two important respects: it employs the sine where Ptolemy used the chord and is in algebraic instead of geometric form.

6 myths about the Ides of March and killing Caesar
This is what most of us know about the death of Julius Caesar, half-remembered from movies and plays:
Some soothsayer said, "Beware the Ides of March."
A few idealistic Romans decided to win back Rome for the people.
Caesar got stabbed by Brutus with a big sword, said "Et tu, Brute?" and died nobly. All of that is wrong. In major and minor ways, a lot of us misunderstand the death of Julius Caesar on March 15, 44 BC. That's why I talked to Barry Strauss, a Cornell classics and history professor. He's the author of The Death of Caesar, a new book that chronicles one of history's most infamous assassinations and dispels a lot of half-remembered myths. A lot of those myths come from Shakespeare, who relied exclusively on Plutarch to paint his picture of Rome. But Strauss uses Plutarch in concert with other ancient sources like Nicolaus of Damascus, Suetonius, Appian, and Cassius Dio, as well as the work of other scholars. Weighed against one another, together they form a more complete picture of Rome at the time — and one that happens to bust a lot of myths.

Nicolaus of Damascus
Nicolaus of Damascus (Greek: Νικόλαος Δαμασκηνός, Nikolāos Damaskēnos) was a Greekhistorian and philosopher who lived during the Augustan age of the Roman Empire. His name is derived from that of his birthplace, Damascus. He was born around 64 BC.
He was an intimate friend of Herod the Great, whom he survived by a number of years. He was also the tutor of the children of Antony and Cleopatra (born in 40 BC), according to Sophronius. He went to Rome with Herod Archelaus.
His output was vast, but is nearly all lost. His chief work was a universal history in 144 books. He also wrote an autobiography, a life of Augustus, a life of Herod, some philosophical works, and some tragedies and comedies.
There is an article on him in the Suda.
History
Towards the end of his life he composed a universal history in 144 books, although the Suda mentions only 80 books. But references to books 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, (8), 96, 103, 104, 107, 108, 110, 114, 123 and 124 are known.
Extensive fragments of the first seven books are preserved in quotation in the Excerpta compiled at the order of Constantine Porphyrogenitus. These cover the history of the Assyrians, Medes, Greeks, Lydians, and Persians, and are important also for Biblical history.

Damascus
Damascus (Arabic: دمشق Dimashq IPA: [ˈdiːmaːʃq]) is the capital and the second-largest city of Syria after Aleppo. It is commonly known in Syria as ash-Sham (Arabic: الشام ash-Shām) and nicknamed as the City of Jasmine (Arabic: مدينة الياسمين Madīnat al-Yāsmīn). In addition to being one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world, Damascus is a major cultural and religious center of the Levant. The city has an estimated population of 1,711,000 as of 2009.
Located in southwestern Syria, Damascus is the center of a large metropolitan area of 2.6 million people (2004). Geographically embedded on the eastern foothills of the Anti-Lebanon mountain range 80 kilometres (50 mi) inland from the eastern shore of the Mediterranean on a plateau 680 metres (2,230 ft) above sea-level, Damascus experiences a semi-arid climate because of the rain shadow effect. The Barada River flows through Damascus.
First settled in the second millennium BC, it was chosen as the capital of the Umayyad Caliphate from 661 to 750. After the victory of the Abbasid dynasty, the seat of Islamic power was moved to Baghdad. Damascus saw a political decline throughout the Abbasid era, only to regain significant importance in the Ayyubid and Mamluk periods. During Ottoman rule, the city decayed while maintaining a certain cultural prestige. Today, it is the seat of the central government and all of the government ministries.

Ides of March
The Ides of March (Latin: Idus Martiae, Late Latin: Idus Martii) is a day on the Roman calendar that corresponds to 15 March. It was marked by several religious observances and became notorious as the date of the assassination of Julius Caesar in 44 BC. The death of Caesar made the Ides of March a turning point in Roman history, as one of the events that marked the transition from the historical period known as the Roman Republic to the Roman Empire.
Although March (Martius) was the third month of the Julian calendar, in the oldest Roman calendar it was the first month of the year. The holidays observed by the Romans from the first through the Ides often reflect their origin as new year celebrations.
Ides
The Romans did not number days of a month sequentially from the first through the last day. Instead, they counted back from three fixed points of the month: the Nones (5th or 7th, depending on the length of the month), the Ides (13th or 15th), and the Kalends (1st of the following month). The Ides occurred near the midpoint, on the 13th for most months, but on the 15th for March, May, July, and October. The Ides were supposed to be determined by the full moon, reflecting the lunar origin of the Roman calendar. On the earliest calendar, the Ides of March would have been the first full moon of the new year.

2:24Islam and Mathematics
Islam and MathematicsIslam and Mathematics
The 7th to the 13th century was the golden age of Muslim learning. In mathematics they contributed and invented the present arithmetical decimal system and the fundamental operations connected with it addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, exponentiation, and extracting the root. They also introduced the 'zero' concept to the world. Some of the famous mathematicians of Islam are: AL-KHOWARIZMI (780 - 850 CE) Muhammad Ibn Musa Al-Khowarizmi, the father of algebra, was a mathematician and astronomer. He was summoned to Baghdad by Al-Mamun and appointed court astronomer. From the title of his work, Hisab Al-Jabr wal Mugabalah (Book of Calculations, Restoration and Reduction), Algebra (Al-Jabr) derived its name. A Latin translation of a Muslim arithmetic text was discovered in 1857 CE at the University of Cambridge library. Entitled 'Algoritimi de Numero Indorum', the work opens with the words: 'Spoken has Algoritimi. Let us give deserved praise to God, our Leader and Defender'. It is believed that this is a copy of Al-Khowarizmi's arithmetic text which was translated into Latin in the twelfth century by an English scholar. Al-Khowarizmi left his name to the history of mathematics in the form of Algorism (the old name for arithmetic). Al-Khowarizmi emphasised that he wrote his algebra book to serve the practical needs of the people concerning matters of inheritance, legacies, partition, lawsuits and commerce. In the twelfth century Gerard of Cremona and Roberts of Chester translated the algebra of Al-Khowarizmi into Latin. Mathematicians used it all over the world until the sixteenth century. It is generally assumed that Al-Khowarizmi was born around 780 CE in the town of Kath in the oasis of Khorzen. Kath is now buried in the sand. AL-KINDI (801-873 CE) Abu Yusuf Yaqub Ibn Ishaq Al-Kindi, was born around 801 CE in Kufa during the governership of his father. The surname indicates ancestry in the royal tribe of Kindah of Yemenite origin. To his people he became known as Faylasuf Al-Arab (the philosopher of the Arabs) the first one in Islam. Among his contributions to arithmetic, Al-Kindi wrote eleven texts on numbers and numerical analysis. AL-KHARKHI Abu Bakr ibn Hussein was born in Kharkh, a suburb of Baghdad. His works covered arithmetic, algebra and geometry. His work Al-Kafi fi Al-Hisab' (Essentials of Arithmetic) covers the rules of computation. His second work, Al- Fakhri' derived its name from Al- Kharki's friend the Grand Vizier of Baghdad. Al-BATTANI (850-929 CE) Muhammad Ibn Jabir Ibn Sinan Abu Abdullah, the father of trigonometry, was born in Battan, Mesopotamia and died in Damascus in 929 CE. An Arab prince and governor of Syria, he is considered to be the greatest Muslim astronomer and mathematician. Al-Battani raised trigonometry to higher levels and computed the first table of cotangents. AL-BIRUNI (973-1050 CE) Al-Biruni was among those who laid the foundation for modern trigonometry. He was a philosopher, geographer, astronomer, physicist and mathematician. Six hundred years before Galgeo, Al-Biruni discussed the theory of the earth rotating about its own axis. Al-Biruni carried out geodisic measurements and determined the earth's circumference in a most ingenious way. With the aid of mathematics, he enabled the direction of the Qibla to be determined from anywhere in the world. In the domain of trigonometry, the theory of the functions; sine, cosine, and tangent was developed by Muslim scholars of the tenth century. Muslim scholars worked diligently in the development of plane and spherical trigonometry. The, trigonometry of Muslims is based on Ptolemy's theorem but is superior in two important respects: it employs the sine where Ptolemy used the chord and is in algebraic instead of geometric form. http://www.muslimheritage.com/ -

6 myths about the Ides of March and killing Caesar6 myths about the Ides of March and killing Caesar
6 myths about the Ides of March and killing Caesar This is what most of us know about the death of Julius Caesar, half-remembered from movies and plays: Some soothsayer said, "Beware the Ides of March." A few idealistic Romans decided to win back Rome for the people. Caesar got stabbed by Brutus with a big sword, said "Et tu, Brute?" and died nobly. All of that is wrong. In major and minor ways, a lot of us misunderstand the death of Julius Caesar on March 15, 44 BC. That's why I talked to Barry Strauss, a Cornell classics and history professor. He's the author of The Death of Caesar, a new book that chronicles one of history's most infamous assassinations and dispels a lot of half-remembered myths. A lot of those myths come from Shakespeare, who relied exclusively on Plutarch to paint his picture of Rome. But Strauss uses Plutarch in concert with other ancient sources like Nicolaus of Damascus, Suetonius, Appian, and Cassius Dio, as well as the work of other scholars. Weighed against one another, together they form a more complete picture of Rome at the time — and one that happens to bust a lot of myths. -

Is Noahs Ark Buried at Mount Ararat
In Genesis chapter eight, verse four, it says that the Ark of Noah landed on the mountain of Ararat. Today the mountains of Ararat contains what is called Lesser Ararat, which peaks around 12,000 feet, and Greater Ararat which reaches heights of nearly 17,000 feet. These mountains that border Turkey and Iran has long been. According to Genesis 8:4, the Ark came to rest "on the mountains of Ararat." Early commentators such as Josephus, and authorities quoted by him, Berossus, Hieronymus the Egyptian, Mnaseas, and Nicolaus of Damascus, record the tradition that these "mountains of Ararat" are to be found in the region then known as Armenia, roughly corresponding to Eastern Anatolia.

The authors adopt a thematic approach rather than a chronological one, considering important issues such as the definition of a plant, nomenclature, classifications, physiology, the link between plants and their environment, and the numerous usages of plants in the ancient world. The book also takes care to place ancient botany in its historical, social and economic context. The authors have explained all technical botanical terms and ancient history notions, and as a result, this work will appeal to historians of ancient science, medicine and technology; classicists; and botanists interested in the history of their discipline.

Plato - "Take the quality of passion or spirit; it would be ridiculous to imagine that this quality, when found in States, is not derived from the individuals who are supposed to possess it, e.g. the Thracians, Scythians, and in general the northern nations"- The Republic
Nicolaus of Damascus writes that the Galactophagi Scythians are distinguished for righteousness and hold their property in common. Consequently they call all older man fathers and they contemporaries brothers, and among them nobody was said never, talking about hatred,fear,enviousness because of their way of life based on community and justice
The Scythians had a law that their children should learn three things particulalry, from the age of 5 to 20; to ride a horse well, to shoot well with bow, and never to tell a lie.
Nymphodorus in Scholia on Apollonius of Rhodius says, the Tibareni Scythians were the most justest and refused to engage in battle unless the hour, day and place were announced before; and thier costume was to sow manual. The Tibareni kept in bed their wifes and treated them after child-birth and they have numerous lambs and pastureland.
Xenophon describes the land of Tibareni as consisting of many fertile lands and posessing fortified places along the coast.
Ephorus says the Tibareni were the most laughter-loving and happy people.
Hyginus and Cassiodorus - Indus king of Scythia first discovered silver, which Erichthonius was first to bring to Athens.
Aeschylus talks about Scythian steel.
Hellanicus of Mytilene assigned the discovery of iron weapon and iron armour to Saneunus the Scythian
Heraclides Ponticus says the Scythians invented the bronze.
Plato writed that the Scythians and Thracians are famous peoples and live a happy life.
In the Caucasian Nart legend [saga] is said that Nart the Amazon invented the ironworking and the taming of horses
Aristotle - Lydus the Scythian invented the bronze melting and tempering
Plato says the Greeks recieved the letters from Hyperboreans (Scythians or Pelasgians)
Diodorus Siculus says that the wagon-lager war tactic and the fallanx is Scythian costume
Arrian and Aelianus Tacticus says the 'wedge-shaped' cavalry formation was first used by Scythians, which later was adopted by Thracians and Macedonians
Arrian says the Dracones is the Scythian stindard [standard]
Plato mentions 'The law of the Scythii' , 'o ton Schithon nomos', which contained dispositions regarding military instructions.
Hellanicus (Hellanikos) of Mytilene (of Lesbos) [490 b.c.] writes that the Hyperborean Scythians living beyond the Riphaeos [Ural] mountain don't eat meat just fruits from trees and are righteous people
Julius Pollux [2. century a.d.] says that the Scythians invented the pentachord [pentaton] music.
Plutarch in his Opera Moralia says about music of Hyperboreans and about sacred objects brought to Delos from the land of Hyperboreans, attended with harps, flutes,pipes.
Aethicus of Ister [3-4th century a.d.] affirms that Gryphon the Scythian [Magus Grypho], was inventor of ships and furnace for smithing.
Eustathius of Thessalonika [12th century] says the Maeotian Scythians are hardy in warfare and in practicing agriculture, are generous people, and all Scythians cultivate the land with grain [corn,cereals] and harvest it.
The Agathyrsi Scythians picted themselfs with blue signifying their rank of nobility [Solinus,Virgil,Plinius]
Solinus about the central Asian Scythians; Near Iaxartes live many people, who live with the gentile and incorrupted laws of Parthians from the beginning of times; this are the Massagetae, Issedones,Ariaci,Sacae,Dahae,Apalaei and Assai
Plinius about Hyperborean Scythians; The Atacori,Neuri,Geloni,Agathyrsi, etc. are the most happy peoples, who harvest at noon and at the sunset they collect fruits from trees, and they dont know about sickness.

Hellanicus (Hellanikos) of Mytilene (of Lesbos) [490 b.c.] writes that the Hyperborean Scythians living beyond the Riphaeos [Ural] mountain don't eat meat just fruits from trees and are righteous people
Julius Pollux [2. century a.d.] says that the Scythians invented the pentachord [pentaton] music.
Plutarch in his Opera Moralia says about music of Hyperboreans and about sacred objects brought to Delos from the land of Hyperboreans, attended with harps, flutes,pipes.
Aethicus of Ister [3-4th century a.d.] affirms that Gryphon the Scythian [Magus Grypho], was inventor of ships and furnace for smithing.
Eustathius of Thessalonika [12th century] says the Maeotian Scythians are hardy in warfare and in practicing agriculture, are generous people, and all Scythians cultivate the land with grain [corn,cereals] and harvest it.
The Agathyrsi Scythians picted themselfs with blue signifying their rank of nobility [Solinus,Virgil,Plinius]
Solinus about the central Asian Scythians; Near Iaxartes live many people, who live with the gentile and incorrupted laws of Parthians from the beginning of times; this are the Massagetae, Issedones,Ariaci,Sacae,Dahae,Apalaei and Assai
Plinius about Hyperborean Scythians; The Atacori,Neuri,Geloni,Agathyrsi, etc. are the most happy peoples, who harvest at noon and at the sunset they collect fruits from trees, and they dont know about sickness.

The 7th to the 13th century was the golden age of Muslim learning.
In mathematics they contributed and invented the present arithmetical decimal system and the fundamental operations connected with it addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, exponentiation, and extracting the root.
They also introduced the 'zero' concept to the world. Some of the famous mathematicians of Islam are:
AL-KHOWARIZMI (780 - 850 CE)
Muhammad Ibn Musa Al-Khowarizmi, the father of algebra, was a mathematician and astronomer. He was summoned to Baghdad by Al-Mamun and appointed court astronomer. From the title of his work, Hisab Al-Jabr wal Mugabalah (Book of Calculations, Restoration and
Reduction), Algebra (Al-Jabr) derived its name.
A Latin translation of a Muslim arithmetic text was discovered in 1857 CE at the University of Cambridge library.
Entitled 'Algoritimi de Numero Indorum', the work opens with the words: 'Spoken has Algoritimi. Let us give deserved praise to God, our Leader and Defender'.
It is believed that this is a copy of Al-Khowarizmi's arithmetic text which was translated into Latin in the twelfth century by an English scholar. Al-Khowarizmi left his name to the history of mathematics in the form of Algorism (the old name for arithmetic).
Al-Khowarizmi emphasised that he wrote his algebra book to serve the practical needs of the people concerning matters of inheritance, legacies, partition, lawsuits and commerce.
In the twelfth century Gerard of Cremona and Roberts of Chester translated the algebra of Al-Khowarizmi into Latin. Mathematicians used it all over the world until the sixteenth century. It is generally assumed that Al-Khowarizmi was born around 780 CE in the town of Kath in the oasis of Khorzen. Kath is now buried in the sand.
AL-KINDI (801-873 CE)
Abu Yusuf Yaqub Ibn Ishaq Al-Kindi, was born around 801 CE in Kufa during the governership of his father.
The surname indicates ancestry in the royal tribe of Kindah of Yemenite origin. To his people he became known as Faylasuf Al-Arab (the philosopher of the Arabs) the first one in Islam.
Among his contributions to arithmetic, Al-Kindi wrote eleven texts on numbers and numerical analysis.
AL-KHARKHI
Abu Bakr ibn Hussein was born in Kharkh, a suburb of Baghdad. His works covered arithmetic, algebra and geometry. His work Al-Kafi fi Al-Hisab' (Essentials of Arithmetic) covers the rules of computation. His second work, Al- Fakhri' derived its name from Al- Kharki's friend the Grand Vizier of Baghdad.
Al-BATTANI (850-929 CE)
Muhammad Ibn Jabir Ibn Sinan Abu Abdullah, the father of trigonometry, was born in Battan, Mesopotamia and died in Damascus in 929 CE.
An Arab prince and governor of Syria, he is considered to be the greatest Muslim astronomer and mathematician.
Al-Battani raised trigonometry to higher levels and computed the first table of cotangents.
AL-BIRUNI (973-1050 CE)
Al-Biruni was among those who laid the foundation for modern trigonometry. He was a philosopher, geographer, astronomer, physicist and mathematician. Six hundred years before Galgeo, Al-Biruni discussed the theory of the earth rotating about its own axis.
Al-Biruni carried out geodisic measurements and determined the earth's circumference in a most ingenious way. With the aid of mathematics, he enabled the direction of the Qibla to be determined from anywhere in the world.
In the domain of trigonometry, the theory of the functions; sine, cosine, and tangent was developed by Muslim scholars of the tenth century. Muslim scholars worked diligently in the development of plane and spherical trigonometry. The, trigonometry of Muslims is based on Ptolemy's theorem but is superior in two important respects: it employs the sine where Ptolemy used the chord and is in algebraic instead of geometric form.

6 myths about the Ides of March and killing Caesar
This is what most of us know about the death of Julius Caesar, half-remembered from movies and plays:
Some soothsayer said, "Beware the Ides of March."
A few idealistic Romans decided to win back Rome for the people.
Caesar got stabbed by Brutus with a big sword, said "Et tu, Brute?" and died nobly. All of that is wrong. In major and minor ways, a lot of us misunderstand the death of Julius Caesar on March 15, 44 BC. That's why I talked to Barry Strauss, a Cornell classics and history professor. He's the author of The Death of Caesar, a new book that chronicles one of history's most infamous assassinations and dispels a lot of half-remembered myths. A lot of those myths come from Shakespeare, who relied exclusively on Plutarch to paint his picture of Rome. But Strauss uses Plutarch in concert with other ancient sources like Nicolaus of Damascus, Suetonius, Appian, and Cassius Dio, as well as the work of other scholars. Weighed against one another, together they form a more complete picture of Rome at the time — and one that happens to bust a lot of myths.

3. SOUNDBITE: (English) Christopher Burns, US Undersecretary of State:
"And so based on that we began our first discussions today on our sanctions measures that would be taken in the UN Security Council because Iran had not met its commitments. We had a very good and useful discussion of those measures. We didn't come to any agreement today because of course it was just a first discussion but we intend to talk on Monday, all of use in a conference call and I know that when we go to New York for the opening of the UN General Assembly in the following week, we hope, we hope very much to make progress on this issue."
4. Burns
5. SOUNDBITE: (English) Christopher Burns, US Undersecretary of State:
"It is the view of the United States, that as Iran is not in compliance, that Iran has been giving 3 months to suspend it's nuclear programme but hasn't done so that we must now go to the United Nations and pass a sanctions resolution. That's what we've been saying, that's what we've said today and I think we've had a very useful start, admittedly dealing with a complex, a very complex issue to push this along towards a sanctions resolution."
6. Burns
7. SOUNDBITE: (English) Christopher Burns, US Undersecretary of State:
"So I heard today, in the room, a great deal of disappointment that Iran has not met the very logical and attractive proposal that we have put forward three months ago. And you know, they've had three months to consider it, and they haven't said yes. And so the statements by Ahmadinejad that Iran is willing to negotiate, by Dr Larijani, that it is willing to negotiate is not backed up by a credible answer. they haven't given us a credible answer. They presented to us two weeks ago a 21 page document that did not answer the question. In none of the public statements by the Iranian leadership over the past two weeks have they said they'd be willing to suspend their nuclear programmes and that is the condition that the Security Council, all 15 members of the Security Council agreed upon back in July."

STORYLINE:
The five United Nations Security Council permanent members plus Germany made substantial progress in discussions on U.N. sanctions for
Iran because of its nuclear defiance, a senior U.S. State Department official said Thursday.
"We've made a lot of progress," said U.S. Undersecretary of State Nicholas Burns, at the end of the six-nation talks in the German capital
meant to formulate a common response to Tehran's refusal to freeze uranium enrichment, as demanded by the Security Council.
"We've had a very useful start," Burns added.

Is Noahs Ark Buried at Mount Ararat
In Genesis chapter eight, verse four, it says that the Ark of Noah landed on the mountain of Ararat. Today the mountains of Ararat contains what is called Lesser Ararat, which peaks around 12,000 feet, and Greater Ararat which reaches heights of nearly 17,000 feet. These mountains that border Turkey and Iran has long been. According to Genesis 8:4, the Ark came to rest "on the mountains of Ararat." Early commentators such as Josephus, and authorities quoted by him, Berossus, Hieronymus the Egyptian, Mnaseas, and Nicolaus of Damascus, record the tradition that these "mountains of Ararat" are to be found in the region then known as Armenia, roughly corresponding to Eastern Anatolia.

Islam and Mathematics
The 7th to the 13th century was the golden age of Muslim learning. In mathematics they contributed and invented the present arithmetical decimal system and the fundamental operations connected with it addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, exponentiation, and extracting the root. They also introduced the 'zero' concept to the world. Some of the famous mathematicians of Islam are: AL-KHOWARIZMI (780 - 850 CE) Muhammad Ibn Musa Al-Khowarizmi, the father of algebra, was a mathematician and astronomer. He was summoned to Baghdad by Al-Mamun and appointed court astronomer. From the title of his work, Hisab Al-Jabr wal Mugabalah (Book of Calculations, Restoration and Reduction), Algebra (Al-Jabr) derived its name.

6 myths about the Ides of March and killing Caesar
6 myths about the Ides of March and killing Caesar This is what most of us know about the death of Julius Caesar, half-remembered from movies and plays: Some soothsayer said, "Beware the Ides of March." A few idealistic Romans decided to win back Rome for the people. Caesar got stabbed by Brutus with a big sword, said "Et tu, Brute?" and died nobly. All of that is wrong. In major and minor ways, a lot of us misunderstand the death of Julius Caesar on March 15, 44 BC. That's why I talked to Barry Strauss, a Cornell classics and history professor. He's the author of The Death of Caesar, a new book that chronicles one of history's most infamous assassinations and dispels a lot of half-remembered myths. A lot of those myths come from Shakespeare, who relied exclusively on Plutarch to paint hi...

The book also takes care to place ancient botany in its historical, social and economic context. The authors have explained all technical botanical terms and ancient history notions, and as a result, this work will appeal to historians of ancient science, medicine and technology; classicists; and botanists interested in the history of their discipline.

Plato - "Take the quality of passion or spirit; it would be ridiculous to imagine that this quality, when found in States, is not derived from the individuals who are supposed to possess it, e.g. the Thracians, Scythians, and in general the northern nations"- The Republic
Nicolaus of Damascus writes that the Galactophagi Scythians are distinguished for righteousness and hold their property in common. Consequently they call all older man fathers and they contemporaries brothers, and among them nobody was said never, talking about hatred,fear,enviousness because of their way of life based on community and justice
The Scythians had a law that their children should learn three things particulalry, from the age of 5 to 20; to ride a horse well, to shoot well with bow, and never to tell a lie.
Nymphodorus in Scholia on Apollonius of Rhodius says, the Tibareni Scythians were the most justest and refused to engage in battle unless the hour, day and place were announced before; and thier costume was to sow manual. The Tibareni kept in bed their wifes and treated them after child-birth and they have numerous lambs and pastureland.
Xenophon describes the land of Tibareni as consisting of many fertile lands and posessing fortified places along the coast.
Ephorus says the Tibareni were the most laughter-loving and happy people.
Hyginus and Cassiodorus - Indus king of Scythia first discovered silver, which Erichthonius was first to bring to Athens.
Aeschylus talks about Scythian steel.
Hellanicus of Mytilene assigned the discovery of iron weapon and iron armour to Saneunus the Scythian
Heraclides Ponticus says the Scythians invented the bronze.
Plato writed that the Scythians and Thracians are famous peoples and live a happy life.
In the Caucasian Nart legend [saga] is said that Nart the Amazon invented the ironworking and the taming of horses
Aristotle - Lydus the Scythian invented the bronze melting and tempering
Plato says the Greeks recieved the letters from Hyperboreans (Scythians or Pelasgians)
Diodorus Siculus says that the wagon-lager war tactic and the fallanx is Scythian costume
Arrian and Aelianus Tacticus says the 'wedge-shaped' cavalry formation was first used by Scythians, which later was adopted by Thracians and Macedonians
Arrian says the Dracones is the Scythian stindard [standard]
Plato mentions 'The law of the Scythii' , 'o ton Schithon nomos', which contained dispositions regarding military instructions.
Hellanicus (Hellanikos) of Mytilene (of Lesbos) [490 b.c.] writes that the Hyperborean Scythians living beyond the Riphaeos [Ural] mountain don't eat meat just fruits from trees and are righteous people
Julius Pollux [2. century a.d.] says that the Scythians invented the pentachord [pentaton] music.
Plutarch in his Opera Moralia says about music of Hyperboreans and about sacred objects brought to Delos from the land of Hyperboreans, attended with harps, flutes,pipes.
Aethicus of Ister [3-4th century a.d.] affirms that Gryphon the Scythian [Magus Grypho], was inventor of ships and furnace for smithing.
Eustathius of Thessalonika [12th century] says the Maeotian Scythians are hardy in warfare and in practicing agriculture, are generous people, and all Scythians cultivate the land with grain [corn,cereals] and harvest it.
The Agathyrsi Scythians picted themselfs with blue signifying their rank of nobility [Solinus,Virgil,Plinius]
Solinus about the central Asian Scythians; Near Iaxartes live many people, who live with the gentile and incorrupted laws of Parthians from the beginning of times; this are the Massagetae, Issedones,Ariaci,Sacae,Dahae,Apalaei and Assai
Plinius about Hyperborean Scythians; The Atacori,Neuri,Geloni,Agathyrsi, etc. are the most happy peoples, who harvest at noon and at the sunset they collect fruits from trees, and they dont know about sickness.

Nicolaus of Damascus writes that the Galactophagi Scythians are distinguished for righteousness and hold their property in common. Consequently they call all older man fathers and they contemporaries brothers, and among them nobody was said never, talking about hatred,fear,enviousness because of their way of life based on community and justice
The Scythians had a law that their children should learn three things particulalry, from the age of 5 to 20; to ride a horse well, to shoot well with bow, and never to tell a lie.
Nymphodorus in Scholia on Apollonius of Rhodius says, the Tibareni Scythians were the most justest and refused to engage in battle unless the hour, day and place were announced before; and thier costume was to sow manual. The Tibareni kept in bed their wifes and treated them after child-birth and they have numerous lambs and pastureland.
Xenophon describes the land of Tibareni as consisting of many fertile lands and posessing fortified places along the coast.
Ephorus says the Tibareni were the most laughter-loving and happy people.
Hyginus and Cassiodorus - Indus king of Scythia first discovered silver, which Erichthonius was first to bring to Athens.
Aeschylus talks about Scythian steel.
Hellanicus of Mytilene assigned the discovery of iron weapon and iron armour to Saneunus the Scythian
Heraclides Ponticus says the Scythians invented the bronze.
Plato writed that the Scythians and Thracians are famous peoples and live a happy life.
In the Caucasian Nart legend [saga] is said that Nart the Amazon invented the ironworking and the taming of horses
Aristotle - Lydus the Scythian invented the bronze melting and tempering
Plato says the Greeks recieved the letters from Hyperboreans (Scythians or Pelasgians)
Diodorus Siculus says that the wagon-lager war tactic and the fallanx is Scythian costume
Arrian and Aelianus Tacticus says the 'wedge-shaped' cavalry formation was first used by Scythians, which later was adopted by Thracians and Macedonians
Arrian says the Dracones is the Scythian stindard [standard]
Plato mentions 'The law of the Scythii' , 'o ton Schithon nomos', which contained dispositions regarding military instructions.
Hellanicus (Hellanikos) of Mytilene (of Lesbos) [490 b.c.] writes that the Hyperborean Scythians living beyond the Riphaeos [Ural] mountain don't eat meat just fruits from trees and are righteous people
Julius Pollux [2. century a.d.] says that the Scythians invented the pentachord [pentaton] music.
Plutarch in his Opera Moralia says about music of Hyperboreans and about sacred objects brought to Delos from the land of Hyperboreans, attended with harps, flutes,pipes.
Aethicus of Ister [3-4th century a.d.] affirms that Gryphon the Scythian [Magus Grypho], was inventor of ships and furnace for smithing.
Eustathius of Thessalonika [12th century] says the Maeotian Scythians are hardy in warfare and in practicing agriculture, are generous people, and all Scythians cultivate the land with grain [corn,cereals] and harvest it.
The Agathyrsi Scythians picted themselfs with blue signifying their rank of nobility [Solinus,Virgil,Plinius]
Solinus about the central Asian Scythians; Near Iaxartes live many people, who live with the gentile and incorrupted laws of Parthians from the beginning of times; this are the Massagetae, Issedones,Ariaci,Sacae,Dahae,Apalaei and Assai
Plinius about Hyperborean Scythians; The Atacori,Neuri,Geloni,Agathyrsi, etc. are the most happy peoples, who harvest at noon and at the sunset they collect fruits from trees, and they dont know about sickness.

The 7th to the 13th century was the golden age of Muslim learning.
In mathematics they contributed and invented the present arithmetical decimal system and the fundamental operations connected with it addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, exponentiation, and extracting the root.
They also introduced the 'zero' concept to the world. Some of the famous mathematicians of Islam are:
AL-KHOWARIZMI (780 - 850 CE)
Muhammad Ibn Musa Al-Khowarizmi, the father of algebra, was a mathematician and astronomer. He was summoned to Baghdad by Al-Mamun and appointed court astronomer. From the title of his work, Hisab Al-Jabr wal Mugabalah (Book of Calculations, Restoration and
Reduction), Algebra (Al-Jabr) derived its name.
A Latin translation of a Muslim arithmetic text was discovered in 1857 CE at the University of Cambridge library.
Entitled 'Algoritimi de Numero Indorum', the work opens with the words: 'Spoken has Algoritimi. Let us give deserved praise to God, our Leader and Defender'.
It is believed that this is a copy of Al-Khowarizmi's arithmetic text which was translated into Latin in the twelfth century by an English scholar. Al-Khowarizmi left his name to the history of mathematics in the form of Algorism (the old name for arithmetic).
Al-Khowarizmi emphasised that he wrote his algebra book to serve the practical needs of the people concerning matters of inheritance, legacies, partition, lawsuits and commerce.
In the twelfth century Gerard of Cremona and Roberts of Chester translated the algebra of Al-Khowarizmi into Latin. Mathematicians used it all over the world until the sixteenth century. It is generally assumed that Al-Khowarizmi was born around 780 CE in the town of Kath in the oasis of Khorzen. Kath is now buried in the sand.
AL-KINDI (801-873 CE)
Abu Yusuf Yaqub Ibn Ishaq Al-Kindi, was born around 801 CE in Kufa during the governership of his father.
The surname indicates ancestry in the royal tribe of Kindah of Yemenite origin. To his people he became known as Faylasuf Al-Arab (the philosopher of the Arabs) the first one in Islam.
Among his contributions to arithmetic, Al-Kindi wrote eleven texts on numbers and numerical analysis.
AL-KHARKHI
Abu Bakr ibn Hussein was born in Kharkh, a suburb of Baghdad. His works covered arithmetic, algebra and geometry. His work Al-Kafi fi Al-Hisab' (Essentials of Arithmetic) covers the rules of computation. His second work, Al- Fakhri' derived its name from Al- Kharki's friend the Grand Vizier of Baghdad.
Al-BATTANI (850-929 CE)
Muhammad Ibn Jabir Ibn Sinan Abu Abdullah, the father of trigonometry, was born in Battan, Mesopotamia and died in Damascus in 929 CE.
An Arab prince and governor of Syria, he is considered to be the greatest Muslim astronomer and mathematician.
Al-Battani raised trigonometry to higher levels and computed the first table of cotangents.
AL-BIRUNI (973-1050 CE)
Al-Biruni was among those who laid the foundation for modern trigonometry. He was a philosopher, geographer, astronomer, physicist and mathematician. Six hundred years before Galgeo, Al-Biruni discussed the theory of the earth rotating about its own axis.
Al-Biruni carried out geodisic measurements and determined the earth's circumference in a most ingenious way. With the aid of mathematics, he enabled the direction of the Qibla to be determined from anywhere in the world.
In the domain of trigonometry, the theory of the functions; sine, cosine, and tangent was developed by Muslim scholars of the tenth century. Muslim scholars worked diligently in the development of plane and spherical trigonometry. The, trigonometry of Muslims is based on Ptolemy's theorem but is superior in two important respects: it employs the sine where Ptolemy used the chord and is in algebraic instead of geometric form.

6 myths about the Ides of March and killing Caesar
This is what most of us know about the death of Julius Caesar, half-remembered from movies and plays:
Some soothsayer said, "Beware the Ides of March."
A few idealistic Romans decided to win back Rome for the people.
Caesar got stabbed by Brutus with a big sword, said "Et tu, Brute?" and died nobly. All of that is wrong. In major and minor ways, a lot of us misunderstand the death of Julius Caesar on March 15, 44 BC. That's why I talked to Barry Strauss, a Cornell classics and history professor. He's the author of The Death of Caesar, a new book that chronicles one of history's most infamous assassinations and dispels a lot of half-remembered myths. A lot of those myths come from Shakespeare, who relied exclusively on Plutarch to paint his picture of Rome. But Strauss uses Plutarch in concert with other ancient sources like Nicolaus of Damascus, Suetonius, Appian, and Cassius Dio, as well as the work of other scholars. Weighed against one another, together they form a more complete picture of Rome at the time — and one that happens to bust a lot of myths.

Is Noahs Ark Buried at Mount Ararat
In Genesis chapter eight, verse four, it says that the Ark of Noah landed on the mountain of Ararat. Today the mountains of Ararat contains what is called Lesser Ararat, which peaks around 12,000 feet, and Greater Ararat which reaches heights of nearly 17,000 feet. These mountains that border Turkey and Iran has long been. According to Genesis 8:4, the Ark came to rest "on the mountains of Ararat." Early commentators such as Josephus, and authorities quoted by him, Berossus, Hieronymus the Egyptian, Mnaseas, and Nicolaus of Damascus, record the tradition that these "mountains of Ararat" are to be found in the region then known as Armenia, roughly corresponding to Eastern Anatolia.

Science and Islam: Part 3 of 3 - The Power of Doubt - Medieval Islam Fed the West's Renaissance Physicist Jim Al-Khalili tells the story of the great leap in scientific knowledge that took place in the Islamic world between the 8th and 14th centuries. Al-Khalili turns detective, hunting for clues that show how the scientific revolution that took place in the 16th and 17th centuries in Europe had its roots in the earlier world of medieval Islam. He travels across Iran, Syria and Egypt to discover the huge astronomical advances made by Islamic scholars through their obsession with accurate measurement and coherent and rigorous mathematics. He then visits Italy to see how those Islamic ideas permeated into the West and ultimately helped shape the works of the great European astronomer Cope...

Plato - "Take the quality of passion or spirit; it would be ridiculous to imagine that this quality, when found in States, is not derived from the individuals who are supposed to possess it, e.g. the Thracians, Scythians, and in general the northern nations"- The Republic
Nicolaus of Damascus writes that the Galactophagi Scythians are distinguished for righteousness and hold their property in common. Consequently they call all older man fathers and they contemporaries brothers, and among them nobody was said never, talking about hatred,fear,enviousness because of their way of life based on community and justice
The Scythians had a law that their children should learn three things particulalry, from the age of 5 to 20; to ride a horse well, to shoot well with bow, and never to tell a lie.
Nymphodorus in Scholia on Apollonius of Rhodius says, the Tibareni Scythians were the most justest and refused to engage in battle unless the hour, day and place were announced before; and thier costume was to sow manual. The Tibareni kept in bed their wifes and treated them after child-birth and they have numerous lambs and pastureland.

Science and Islam: Part 3 of 3 - The Power of Doubt - Medieval Islam Fed the West's Renaissance
Physicist Jim Al-Khalili tells the story of the great leap in scientific knowledge that took place in the Islamic world between the 8th and 14th centuries.
Al-Khalili turns detective, hunting for clues that show how the scientific revolution that took place in the 16th and 17th centuries in Europe had its roots in the earlier world of medieval Islam. He travels across Iran, Syria and Egypt to discover the huge astronomical advances made by Islamic scholars through their obsession with accurate measurement and coherent and rigorous mathematics.
He then visits Italy to see how those Islamic ideas permeated into the West and ultimately helped shape the works of the great European astronomer Copernicus, and investigates why science in the Islamic world appeared to go into decline after the 16th and 17th centuries, only for it to re-emerge in the present day.
Al-Khalili ends his journey in the Royan Institute in the Iranian capital Tehran, looking at how science is now regarded in the Islamic world.
