A good answer might be Johannes Swammerdam.

This is quite a hard question to answer, as different people came up with out across the globe. I usually think of it as the Indians, because it was used for actual math and things like that.

They were not typically designed like this. Instead they were more like a large, rectangular, area that was about chest-high with steps leading in. Similar to a modern pool, but there were definitely a few differences.

In 1948, the Burma Rifles did indeed become part of the Burmese army. However, Myanmar's military didn't ever really evolve from the Burma Rifles.

This was a transition over many centuries, but became more popular during the Middle Ages, likely because of cultural changes during this time.

It's hard to determine, and changed between different people. Some may have believed it as fact, while others thought of it as a myth.

There is no evidence to support this, and is likely just a myth or rumor.

Retail salesperson, fast food worker, factory worker. These are some examples of minimum wage jobs back then.

Different bolas were likely different lengths, and it also depends on the user. There is no definite answer for this question.

They were dropped in places with not many people, such as deserts and small atolls in the middle of the Pacific.

Ear piercing is one if the oldest forms of body modification. They were common in Minoan civilization, and even King Tut had his ears pierced. I'm not exactly sure about European women specifically, but I'd assume both genders had similar amounts of piercing.

UNAMIR was in Rwanda and knew about the plan, but they weren't allowed to intervene by the Peacekeeping Department. The most major thing they did was provide refuge for thousands of people.

They wanted to make their own nation in their own place. They had developed different cultures and ways of life since then, and wanted freedom. One of the other reasons of the revolution was the taxes on them, and because they had no representation of the Parliament that was ruling them. Many people came from Britain to the Americas to get away and start a new life, and many came for religious freedom.

The agoge was not a building. It was a training program for most male Spartan citizens.

So there are two accounts of Leif Erikson's story: Saga of Erik the Red, and Saga of the Greenlanders.
Saga of Erik the Red says he was blown off course on his way to Greenland from Norway. He landed in Vinland, and found grapes, wheat, and maple trees. He eventually loaded the ship and went back to Greenland. He never went back, but others did.
Saga of the Greenlanders is different. Bjarni Herjólfsson was the first to see America, spotting it but not disembarking. He returned back home to tell about his discovery, and Leif decided to buy his ship so he could go back and explore. He eventually made it to Vinland, meaning Wineland because of all the grapes there. He stayed through the winter before leaving in spring or summer. Again, he didn't come back, but people such as Thorfinn Karlsefni made settlements.
They just took a bunch of resources and left, and they did have wood. They really didn’t have the need to do it. Also, part of the reason why they left is because of trouble with the natives.
I hope this answers your first question, but it’s mostly copied from a previous comment I made on a different question.

According to Wikipedia, tricot we had two main uses. First of all, they allowed people to easily see wins, which showed social status in those times. Second thing was that it was very small, so it could be tucked under your arm when you entered a building. This was customary for gentlemen.

No, there is no archaeological evidence that Phoenicians ever reached the Americas.

This is a subjective question, as there are many people known as the great. You can look more into them if you want, and I found this list of many people. Some of the more famous ones were Alexander, Ashoka, Constantine, and Ramses II.

I bet there is. There are probably historians, even if it's a small minority, that believe in all sorts of strange theories.

They did indeed use salt as a condiment. They got it from places like saline inland lakes and highland springs.
