Why did Jonn Brown's raid on Harpers Ferry fail?

ANSWER Because of following reasons: 1 - The position of Harper's Ferry was an untenable one, unless the defending force were in possession of the height surrounding the place. John Brown had no sufficient men to provide for and, indeed his intention was that, that after having gathered some band of freed slaves, he would leave Harper's Ferry, reach the mountain and start a guerrilla. But he and his associated got soon entrapped, without any chance of escaping. 2 - The main task of his raid, that is that of giving raise of a slaves insurrection in Virginia, was not to be achieved.


What term is generally used to designate theories opposed to the Big Bang theory?

"Steady state". The person who coined the term "big bang" meant it to be taken derisively; Sir Fred Hoyle was a proponent of the "steady state" theory of the cosmos, in which the universe had existed forever pretty much as it is now, and would continue forever. But as evidence accumulated, the concept of a steady state universe began to be more and more untenable, and most astronomers and cosmologists now accept that the universe probably "began" at some point about 14 billion years ago. Some extremely exotic theories have bubbled up suggesting that the universe may be cyclical, that it may eventually collapse, or that it may continue to expand forever. These theories are still in flux, and are supported primarily by mathematical models rather than by observed facts. But keep an open mind; we're only at the beginning of this story.


What is the relationship between Moses and Rameses II?

The Egyptian pharaoh, Rameses II lived approximately 1290 to 1224 BCE. The only information we have on Moses is from the Bible, which talks of two unnamed pharaohs, but never mentions Rameses II. Rameses II lived much too late to have known Moses, if we adopt a literal reading of the Bible, because the date of the Exodus from Egypt is given as approximately 1444 BCE. Because archaeological evidence has made the traditional date of the Exodus untenable, some liberal Christians have suggested that the Exodus really took place shortly before 1200 BCE, which would then make Moses and Rameses II contempories. However, Ramesis could not have been the pharaoh who led his army into the Red Sea and was drowned, since he died peacefully in Egypt and was buried there. From a historical perspective, over 90 per cent of scholars are reported to believe that there was no Exodus from Egypt as described in the Bible, in which case there was no Israelite leader known as Moses living in Egypt.


How large was the Carthage empire?

The Roman Empire covered western Europe up the river Rhine and central Germany, including Britain, the Balkan Peninsula (southeastern Europe) North Africa and part of the Middle east. At its greatest extent the empire also covered the whole of modern day Iraq (Mesopotamia). The emperor Trajan had pushed from Roman territory in the north of this area to the rest of it and reached the Persian Gulf by defeating the Persians. His successor Hadrian gave it back to Persia because he considered this area untenable. Over the next few centuries the Romans and Persians repeatedly fought over this area and Armenia, which back then covered the east of modern day Turkey.The Roman Empire covered the following modern day countries or parts of modern countries:Western Europe: Italy, Malta, Spain, Portugal, France, Belgium, Luxembourg, Holland south of the river Rhine, southern Germany and part of central Germany, Switzerland, Lichtenstein, Austria and England and Wales.Eastern Europe: western Hungary, part of western Slovakia, Slovenia, Serbia, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, Macedonia, Albania, Greece, Bulgaria, Romania, Moldova and a slither of western Ukraine.Asia: Turkey, Cyprus, Armenia, northern Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Israel and Palestine, Jordan, and the northern part of the coast of the Red Sea in Saudi Arabia..Africa: Egypt, the coastal part of Libya, Tunisia, the coastal part of Algeria, and northern Morocco.
