History Facts You DID NOT Know

You indeed didn't know this. Yes, you didn't know this. Or did you?
1 - When did they start naming streets?
Depending on where you are from, one thing we now take for granted is the fact that our
streets, roads and avenues have names. But how far back in the past would we have to go to
find the first instance of such a practice? The early modern period? Maybe the Middle Ages?
The first attestations of proper names given to streets are from the Akkadian context, dating
back to the 2nd millennium BC.
In the tablets of the Sippar archive, various documents of a public and private nature report
the names of the city's streets. An account that mentions the taxes owed by an individual
named Sin-Remenni describes him as a resident of Akitum Street, "New Year's Feast Street,"
which, from its name, could have been the processional street that connected the temple of
Shamash with the sanctuary outside the walls.
Some streets in the city were named after gods, perhaps due to the presence of a sacred
building dedicated to the god. In Sippar, a Nimin Street, an Ishtar Street, and a Lamashtu
Street are attested.
Other streets seemed to take their name based on a specific resident, who could be
responsible for the maintenance of the street or simply the most prominent person who owned
properties there. In a property location document, a house building is described as adjacent to
the house of Su-Ninsun, and also to "Su-Ninsun Street."
Who invented the first ship/boat?
Images to use (canoe 1, canoe museum, expert testing the canoe 1, expert testing the canoe 2,
reconstructino of WHG 2, reconstructino of WHG, reconstructino of WHG 3, )
The first archaeologically documented watercraft is the Pesse canoe, a small boat found in the
Netherlands and dated to the Mesolithic period, roughly between 8040 and 7510 BC.
Considering the chronological period and the place of discovery, the creators of the Pesse
canoe must have belonged to the genetic group called WHG (Western Hunter-Gatherer),
which populated Western, Central, and Southern Europe during the Mesolithic era. The
WHG belonged to a phenotype that is no longer present today, characterized by light eyes,
dark hair, and dark complexion (we don't know HOW dark the complexion was, probably it
varied greatly
The Pesse canoe must have been made with horn and flint tools, carved from a single Scots
pine trunk, and for this reason, it is defined as a monoxylon vessel (from the Greek
mono/single + xylon/tree). The dimensions of the boat are 2 meters and 98 centimeters in
length and 44 centimeters in width.
Although doubts have been raised about the actual functionality of the Pesse canoe, a
reproduction made by archaeologist Jaap Beuker and tested by professional canoeist Mark
Jan Dielemans has proven to be capable of navigating in a river environment.
When was the first bank opened?
Images to use (tablet from the temple of Shamash in Sippar, Babylonia at the time of
Hammurabi)
the Knights Templar operated a primitive form of banking in the 12th and 13th centuries.
Some key points about Templar banking:
• The Templars accumulated significant wealth through donations, bequests, and their
own economic activities. This allowed them to develop financial services.
• Pilgrims traveling to the Holy Land could deposit funds at a Templar commandery in
their home country and withdraw the equivalent sum upon arrival in the Levant,
avoiding the need to carry money on the dangerous journey. This was an early form of
traveler's check.
• The Templars made loans, although the Catholic Church's ban on usury meant they
could not openly charge interest. Instead, fees and rent on mortgaged properties
provided a form of disguised interest.
• Templar commanderies operated independently but were linked through messengers
and a primitive system of letters of credit, forming a loose network of financial
institutions across Christendom.
• Templars acted as treasurers for some European monarchs and nobles, administering
royal finances and arranging international transfers of funds.
So while not "banks" in the modern sense, the Templars innovated important early banking
functions like traveler's checks, mortgages, letters of credit, and depository services that
supported economic activity and mobility in medieval Europe up until the order's suppression
in 1312. Their financial legacy was an important step in the evolution of modern banking.
The first structures that combine the activity of deposit and lending, the two characteristic
elements of the banking system, are the temples that emerged in the ancient Near East within
the Sumerian culture.

[@TGPDrunknHick]

to be honest, I'm still sitting here trying to figure out how they decided it was definitely a boat/cannoe rather than part of a building or something? like it is a log of wood that's carved to have a curve. it could be anything. why specifically a boat? of course you can navigate with it. you can navigate with a full log as well. less carving required as well!

[@Nyctophora]

It would make a great band name.

[@MarcoCaprini-do3dq]

​@@TGPDrunknHickI'm not an expert, so I could be wrong, but I don't think they were already building full wooden structures in the mesolithic period. Also, while you can use a flat board as a canoe, it is much more difficult to use. It being a canoe is the most logical and probable answer.

[@Ammo08]

I was a commodity broker for about 10 years back in the 1980s. The Romans and Egyptians had a form of banking in that you could deposit grain in say Egypt, and draw out a like amount in Rome using your letter. Our teacher from the Chicago Board of Trade said that there may have been some futures trading based on speculation of prices going up or down. It would not surprise me to find out that the Sumerians did the same thing.

[@sciptick]

But with better boat dating. Not to complain about niggling over 10 years out of a 500-year range, Neanderthals populated Mediterranean islands (excepting Cyprus) necessarily by boat 200,000 (+/-50K, I guess) years ago. If you confine credit to our own species and cannot see Neanderthal that way, we have ancestors of Australians sailing out of sight of land at least 50,000 ya to get from Sunda to Sulawesi and again to Sahul, which later split up to become New Guinea, Australia, and Tasmania. We of course don't have any of the actual boats, but that wasn't in the description. Cyprus is significant in being, like Sulawesi, out of sight of the mainland even when sea level was at glacial maximum low. Malta was connected to Italy then, but Crete was still an ambitious trip.

[@emmitstewart1921]

Maybe you can answer a question which was asked by my physics teacher about forty years ago and has puzzled me ever since. Who invented the shovel? I know that the romans had shovels and that the Britannic peoples did not before the Romans introduced them and changed the nature of agriculture on the island within a single generation.

[@appelflapdrol]

I am convinced a functional single-person rowing boat is easiest to make with reed, and must be the oldest method yet the first to rot away. The preservation of this "canoe" found in the Netherlands is purely due to the oxygen-poor clay in which it was found

[@FireflowerDancer]

Seems quite plausible. I read that natives of the eastern Canadian coast could navigate the sea thousands of years ago.

[@firehorsewoman414]

Yes, when you consider we can only formulate what took place by artifacts and/or written record and then think about how we need perfect conditions for preservation, so much more is lost forever than is known.

[@Vo_Siri]

I think it would have been better to clarify that the oldest *surviving* sea-worthy boat is definitely a fraction of the age of the first seaworthy boats. Japan and Australia were both first settled in the Pleistocene, and both would have been unreachable by swimming alone.

[@MarcoCaprini-do3dq]

Humans didn't reach Japan and Australia by boat, they used land bridges that were then submerged by water, just like how they reached America.

[@bertjafn]

@@MarcoCaprini-do3dqThere was never a land bridge connecting Australia to Asia. Australia formed one landmass with New Guinea, and Asia was connected with Borneo and Java. But to cross the area in between one still needed to do some form of island hopping.

[@LilyoftheValeyrising]

I believe England had Doggerland which connected it to Europe and has since been covered with the rising sea. Risen sea.

[@Vo_Siri]

@@MarcoCaprini-do3dq That is not correct. Australia never had a land bridge to Asia. That's why the only terrestrial placental mammals ever to reach Australia before humans were bats and rats.

One minor correction: municiple street naming by owners still does happen. It's mostly done by corporate owners, for vanity/branding reasons. Take, for example, "Infinite Loop", the street named by Apple corp, leading up to the headquarters building at the address "1 Infinite Loop". But sometimes individual owners still do it. Take, for example, "Tarzana, California", an ENTIRE SUBURB of San Fernando/Encino so named because its original exclusive owner named it that way. He was Edgar Rice Burroughs. Who named it, of course, after his most famous literary character: Tarzan. Many of the streets in the suburb bear the names of his children, and other characters in his books.

[@mikenunz]

A couple of things. In Tehran where I grew up, my grandmother’s street was named after her father because the property that the neighborhood was built on was owned by my great-grandfather who sold off the property except for two homes that my grandmother and great aunt lived in. Also, today in Los Angeles there is a neighborhood called “Mount Olympus.” The streets there are named after the greek gods. There is also a street called “Isis” in the city of Hawthorne in Los Angeles County.

yeah the act of banking at least the lending money is pretty old and the evidence is the bible as it one of the institution that jesus call out. which mean temples had been lending as far back as jesus birth and more likely predated that for a couple of thousand of years. So i was not surprise it went back as far as early babylon. Which would put it at some point in early civilation as they move away from the barter system.

Just a minor nitpick on the matter of shrapnel: according to Wikipedia, Colonel Shrapnel designed in or around 1784 an explosive artillery projectile wherein the gunpowder was intermingled with musket balls inside a metal sphere. Later it was determined that the musket balls were surplus to requirements and the casing fragments were lethal enough, but nobody took the trouble to rename this development. My guess would be that the ancient Chinese projectiles were of the later sort and technically not shrapnel.

I’d like to call your attention to an understandable error you and your team made around the pesse canoe section where your team said that the western hunter gathers had “dark skin” and showed a model of what looked like the revised dark skinned Cheddar man. The theory that ancient Europeans had “dark skin” has been completely debunked in all of literature over the past 10 years. The Out of Africa theory as a whole has been thrown out as we now have more and more genetic information and timelines showing how populations moved around. I recommend looking into the work that’s come out since the discovery of the Misilya Cave jaw in Israel.
