answer:Start laughing. And then tell her it's not loaded.

answer:No! The only way Hannibal could've taken Rome was if the Romans had surrendered. Hannibal's Army was made up mercenaries. Although, they excelled in combat, they were not equipped for sieges. The Carthagenians were in fact not good in siege warfare. Furthermore, at its height, Hannibal's Army was about 50 thousands men. How would they have taken a city with a quarter of a million people?

answer:The movie “300” is just a fictional and unrealistic movie. You should read historical books. Persian empire (Achaemenid) is the first true empire of the world, which covered a vast area, encompassing one third people of that time. In fact, one shouldn’t compare Persian Empire with Greek states. They weren’t considered even a rival. However, Greeks established an Empire later, but at that time, they were small states fighting each other. Persian Empire also hadn’t any interest to invade there, because it already ruled the most rich nations and had captured greek states in Anatolia. The west Greece was geographically difficult to capture, with warrior and rebellious people. But sometimes west greeks attacked some cities in Persian Empire, causing some conflicts ([LINKED_TEXT: Greco-Persian Wars | 492-449 BC] [URL: https://www.britannica.com/event/Greco-Persian-Wars]), The berber was used by greeks for foreigners, and if they meant any other meaning, then they were wrong, because most nations in the Persian Empire, like Egypt, Babylonia, Phoenicia, … , were rich and civilized nations. Also Persians were very tolerant kings, who could establish and manage such a big empire. Read about Cyrus the Great and his charter of human rights ([LINKED_TEXT: Cyrus Cylinder - Wikipedia] [URL: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyrus_Cylinder]) About the second part of your question. Yes, Iran was always one of the strongest powers in the region. You listed Persian Empires, but you should note other Empires like Parthian Empire, or even Medes Empire, … were Iranian. Persians were/are one ethnicity of Iranian people, whi can be called Aryans.

answer:Stay away from the wedding and reception. Instead, have the ceremony video-taped and plan a family party with the bride and groom to celebrate the screening of the video. Make it as festive as you can afford. Deliver a celebratory toast and focus only on the happy event you are celebrating. Discussion of the other parent by anyone will be an absolute no-no. I hold a PERMANENT restraining order against my former husband. The question of his attendance at our son's wedding in another state naturally became an issue. I promised my son I would look the other way the day of the wedding should his father wish to attend. There were two conditions. One, he must always maintain his distance from me and, two, he should not make his presence an issue in any way. What I did not tell anyone was that I had contracted an off-duty police officer to be seated at the table with my former husband as a guest to step in and escort him out in the event he decided to make a scene of any sort. As it turned out, my son's father decided to not attend, portraying himself as a victim of MY restraining order. Several months later, my son and I reflected upon his absence. His father had become a very negative person, with a black cloud following him wherever he went. We decided that even though, ideally, he should have attended, his presence would bring with it the black cloud and the worry for my son that his father would do something to disrupt an otherwise joyful day. In the end, my son's wedding day was a happy one for him and his bride…that’s all I could ask for.
