Greek fire - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - 10 views

  • The Byzantines typically used it in naval battles to great effect as it could continue burning even on water.
    • Veronica Rodriguez
       
      This was true. That geek fire would not stop burning . Even if you use water. That is why the greeks desighned it . So they couldburn something and it wont go out for a long long long time.
  • It burned on water, and, according to some interpretations, was ignited by water. In addition, as numerous writers testify, it could be extinguished only by a few substances, such as sand, which deprived it of oxygen, strong vinegar, or old urine, presumably by some sort of chemical reaction.[30][31]
    • Veronica Rodriguez
       
      Wow those are some strange things to put out greek fire. And probably very rare things during this time of the world. I mean who in the world is going to be carying old pee around. And there probably is not a whole lot of sand around. So i would say that greek fire is indesructable.
  • In its earliest form, Greek fire was hurled onto enemy forces by firing a burning cloth-wrapped ball, perhaps containing a flask, using a form of light catapult, most probably a seaborne variant of the Roman light catapult or onager.[citation needed
    • Veronica Rodriguez
       
      That is so cool .Those grenades must have been very effective. Because they were filled with greek fire and then they were thrown .And if they broke on the floor than they must have really screwed up that area that got hit with the grenade.

  • Black Death
    • Veronica Rodriguez
       
      You could have caught the black death by the ship rats. Or by the fleas. The fleas were the main souse of the black death. The fleas would mostly bite the animals in the wild.

And while people had there cats close to there face and were breathing in the cough of there catthey catch the desaes and sometimes without knowing.
  • 3.1 Bubonic infection
    • Veronica Rodriguez
       
      The bubanic infection or the bubonic plague is also known as the black death. It was spread to almost around the entire world. Or europe. It was a heart recking deasease . And it was like a chain of people dieing. Becasue there would first be a person who has it then family members go to help the one sick. Then they get sick and they spread it to more people. And then those people spread it to more people and then they spread it to more and more peple .
  • The Brotherhood of the Flagellants, a movement said to number up to 800,000, reached its peak of popularity.[50]
    • Veronica Rodriguez
       
      Flagalents were very beloved people to god . They were people who went through the streets and whip them selfs. They would use whips used out of leather and had little spikes at the bottom of the strips of leather. They would treat them selfs as jesus was treated. They di this so that god would forgive there sins.

Guy de Chauliac - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - 13 views

  • He was among the most important physicians of his time,
    • Veronica Rodriguez
       
      Heck yeagh he was the best doctor of his time. He was I beleive the only doctor that helped with the plague . And that is very brave because it was very contabous and the village he was in lost more than half the population. And anyone who caught the desease died.
  • Guy de Chauliac
    • Veronica Rodriguez
       
      He should have been worshiped because of the book he wrote during the black death . That book was made to tell people who got it how to cure the sickness. And what steps to take to get through the sickness.But in this picture it looks like he was . But i know that he should have been.

    • Veronica Rodriguez

  • Saladin as depicted on a Dirham coin, Circa. 1190.
    • Veronica Rodriguez
       
      Saladin must have been a very famous person to get his own coin. Cause most people that are very famous and that are loved get there own coins. But if you are not loved or famous you wont get a coin. And that does not look like saladin in the coin. It looks like a baby.

  • Leprosy
    • Veronica Rodriguez
       
      Leprosy was a very bad disease or infection. It is the worst thing you can get. It can kill you. If you dont treat it with the right medicine.
  • Muslim world
    • Veronica Rodriguez
       
      In the muslum world there was no treatment for it. The people did not know that they could cure it. So they would just suffer from it until they die. Which was not fair. But the people didnt know about antibiotics.
    • Veronica Rodriguez
       
      In the muslum world there were no antibiotics to treat the desease Leprosy. So the condition was very bad there. So the people had to suffer. And then die.
  • This disease is also known as Hansen's Disease.
    • Veronica Rodriguez
       
      I never new that Leprosy was also called Hansons desiease . Thats a weird name for a desease like this one. It sonds like a mans name. Not like a desease name.

      This land was said to be were you could confess your sins. You can also have forgivness in this land. For example if you committed a sin you could confess them to god . So then you wont go to hell.
  • Flag of the Order of Malta
    • Veronica Rodriguez
       
      This flag is just like the Templar flag. Just the opposite. Instead of the backround being white it is red. And instead of the cross being red . The cross is white.
  • Mascot Falcon
    • Veronica Rodriguez
       
      That is strange. Also rare. Because we are talking about priests here not some random peole. But that is weird because i never heard a priest ever mention a halk. So that is kinda wierd for a priest tohave a halk as a maskot.

    • Veronica Rodriguez
       
      I thought that the symbol they had was just whight in the backround. I never new that priests would have the color black for a flag. I would think that color would be a little to dark for them to put up. But i guess i was wrong.

      I never thought that museums would actually have instroments as a dispaly. Maybee they are instromenst from a long time ago. Maybe they are ancient things or something. But that would be pretty cool.
  • The Watson Library and the individual departments' libraries also hold substantial examples of early or historically important books which are works of art in their own right.
    • Veronica Rodriguez
       
      I wonder how maney books they have in there collection. Probably lots because of how maney exibits they have. I also never expected a museum to have a library.

      When it grows a feeble that means it grows a lot. That means it grows in a rapid speed. If it grows in a rapid speed then it is a well joined group. It works good to get this rapid or feeble grow of territory.
