Ashoka, also spelled Aśoka, last major emperor in the Mauryan dynasty of India. Ashoka waged a destructive war against the state of Kalinga (modern Odisha), which he conquered in about 260 BCE. He is remembered for the Ashoka pillars and edicts, for sending Buddhist monks to Sri Lanka and Central Asia, and for establishing monuments marking several significant sites in the life of Gautama Buddha.

The Buddhist records credit him with the propagation of Buddhism in India and abroad. As an emperor, Ashoka did not favour Buddhism at the expenses of other religions. According to Ramesh Chandra Majumdar, Dhamma was not the policy of a heretic but a system of beliefs created out of different religious faiths.

The Stone Age marks a period of prehistory in which humans used primitive stone tools. Lasting roughly 2.5 million years, the Stone Age ended around 5,000 years ago when humans in the Near East began working with metal and making tools and weapons from bronze.

The Stone Age is the first of the three-age system of archaeology, which divides human technological prehistory into three periods: the Stone Age, Bronze Age, and Iron Age. The Stone Age lasted roughly 3.4 million years, from 30,000 BCE to about 3,000 BCE, and ended with the advent of metalworking.

The Stone Age has been divided into three distinct periods:

• Paleolithic Period or Old Stone Age (30,000 BCE–10,000 BCE)
• Mesolithic Period or Middle Stone Age (10,000 BCE–8,000 BCE)
• Neolithic Period or New Stone Age (8,000 BCE–3,000 BCE)

The art of the Stone Age represents the first accomplishments in human creativity, preceding the invention of writing. While numerous artifacts still exist today, the lack of writing systems from this era greatly limits our understanding of prehistoric art and culture .

⇒ Every person, planet star and a galaxy is a part of a universe - and even empty space.

⇒ Universe can be defined as everything that exists. It is the biggest thing we have a word for.

⇒ the universe is too big, In speed of light, it would take about 15 billion years to cross it as far as we know.

⇒ The universe has started about 12 - 15 billion years ago, due to big bang.

⇒ Big bang was a huge explosion that created all the mass and energy in our universe in less than a second.

⇒ The big bang was super hot! It is 10^27°C, meaning 10 with 27 zeros after it.

The Equator is an imaginary line that divides the Earth into two halves; the Eastern Hemisphere and the Western Hemisphere.

Longitude and latitude is the basic coordinate system and each coordinate only occurs once, unlike a UTM projection.

To find the N/S everything is based off of 0 which happens to be the equator. If you are north of the equator you are ºN, if you are below the equator, you are in º.

For E/W everything is based off the Prime Meridian. If you are west of the Prime Meridian you are ºW if you are east of the Prime Meridian, you are ºE.

As such, you will always know where you are as each coordinate is unique.

Archaeology is fundamentally the study of humanity and its past. Archaeology is practiced around the world by archaeologists who work with people from a wide variety of other disciplines to help answer questions about who we are and where we came from.

A stereotype is a mistaken idea or belief many people have about a thing or group that is based upon how they look on the outside, which may be untrue or only partly true. Stereotyping people is a type of prejudice because what is on the outside is a small part of who a person is. Stereotype threat is a situational predicament in which people are or feel themselves to be at risk of conforming to stereotypes about their social group. It is purportedly a contributing factor to long-standing racial and gender gaps in academic performance.

Epigraphy refrs to the study and interpretation inscriptions. It also include the study of ancient languages and scripts, which can be found in the form of inscriptions, scriptures and writings in various forms, like clay tablets, copper plates, palm leaves, etc.
