Was the slaves that built the pyramids whipped?

well yes. Thousands of slaves toiled in the blazing Egyptian sun under the authority of hard whip wielding slave masters. The thong of the lash whistled through the air. Years of experience meant that an overseer rarely missed, it always found its target, as it coiled snake-like around the body of a naked slave. It left behind bruised, cruelly torn and often or not bleeding flesh.


Who invented hagis?

The haggis is frequently assumed to be Scottish in origin though there is little evidence for this, and food writer Alan Davidson states that the Ancient Romans were the first people known to have made products of the haggis type.[2] A kind of primitive haggis is referred to in Homer's Odyssey, in book 20, when Odysseus is compared to "a man before a great blazing fire turning swiftly this way and that a stomach full of fat and blood, very eager to have it roasted quickly." Haggis was "born of necessity, as a way to utilize the least expensive cuts of meat and the innards as well" (Andrew Zimmern).Some say the vikings made them there really is no official person but the majority goes by the Scottish(referring to what I said earlier)------------------Take Care------------------ ---Phantomxx---


Where does name shamwickshire come from?

According to Duncan Fielder in his book "A History of Bideford" (Phillimore & Co., 1985) p83, the first 'Shamwickshire Election' took place at Garrat Village near Wandsworth, a place famous during the eighteenth century for its carnival of political satire. Well over a century later, throughout the 1920s, the Torridge-side seafaring and mining town of East the Water in Devon held similar festivities mocking the authorities, where a Mayor and Mayoress (both men) were elected. Shipwrights rang handbells and set off firecrackers as the crowds moved across Longbridge to Bideford town, rolling blazing tar barrels, and general drunkenness ensued. Perhaps unsurprisingly, by the depression years of the 1930s "the rowdiness of the 'Shamwickshire' celebrations gave offence to the dignity of the [Bideford] town council, and the ceremony was suppressed." The election of a Mayor of Shamwickshire does however still take place in East the Water.
