What is the history of morro rock?
Here's a link to a site detailing the history of Morro Rock and the remaining Nine Sisters in the volcanic plug chain: http://www.morrobay.com/rock.htm
What happened in the middle ages in medieval Europe?
Acording to Wikipedia there were several signicant events which occurred in 1258. In nature, "one of the largest volcanic eruptions of the Holocene epoch" occurred. Historically, there was the Battle of Baghdad in which Mongol forces overran Baghdad, burning the city to the ground, "killing as many as 1,000,000 citizens." Korea also surrendered to the Mongols in 1258. Also "King Henry III of England" was "forced by seven powerful barons to accept the Provisions of Oxford, effectively ending the absolute monarchy in England by requiring the calling of a parliament." A very important year in history.
What was the location of a famous oracle consulted by the Greeks?
There were lots of oracles, but the most famous was at Delphi, where in a cave among the rocks the Pythoness (a sort of medium) would go into a trance and make prophecies. It's possible that fumes from volcanic vents (most of Greece is an earthquake zone) assisted the process. The delphic oracle was famous for prophecies that could be taken either way - as in, 'if you go to war, you will destroy a great empire' - which might, of course, turn out to be your own.
What is the worst thing that happened in the history of the world?
Either World war 1, World war 2, or the atomic bombs in Japan. 2nd Answer: WW I and the bombs were nothing compared with other world disasters. Here are a few: 1. The Black Death, starting in year 1330, killed 75 million people: far, far more than were killed in WW II. 2. Stroggli Island explosion in 1551 BC, was a volcanic event that made the entire Medi terranean island disappear, and caused the entire Minoan civilization to be wiped out. 3. The Yangtze River flood in 1931 killed 3.5 million people, and injured or made homeless at least 51 million more. 4. The Cretacious-Paleogene extinction, likely caused by an asteroid's impact with the Earth 66 million years ago, wiped out all of the non-flying dinosaurs, and at least 75% of other land, air, and ocean animals, along with plant life that they might have survived on by eating them.
