Who first said: Whoever enters us with a sword will die by the sword?

The expression "whoever enters us with a sword will die by the sword" does not belong to Alexander Nevsky. Its author is the screenwriter of the film of the same name Pavlenko, who remade the phrase from the Gospel "those who take the sword will perish with the sword."

Authors: Jimmy Wales, Larry Sanger

Random interesting fact from the Great Encyclopedia:

Where was Marco Polo from?

From Croatia.

Marco Polo (or, translated from English, "Mark the Chicken") - born Marco Pilim. He was born in 1254 on the island of Corsula, in Dalmatia (at that time a protectorate of Venice).

It seems that we will never know the truth: indeed, at the age of seventeen, the young man accompanied his merchant uncles on a trip to the Far East, or simply wrote down the stories of traders from the Great Silk Road who stopped to rest at their Black Sea trading post. One thing is certain: Marco's famous travel memoir was largely the work of Rustichello da Pisa, the romance writer with whom Polo shared a prison cell after he was captured by the Genoese in 1296. Marco dictated, and Rusticello wrote in French, a language Polo did not speak.

Released in 1306, the result was intended purely for entertainment and became a real bestseller in the era before the invention of printing. In terms of historical accuracy, his status is much less stable.

The original title of the book was "Il Milione", that is, "Million", for reasons we do not understand, although the people quickly renamed the book "Million Vrak", and Polo - by that time a rich man and a successful merchant - received the nickname "Mr. Million". Apparently, for the XIII century, such a name was catchy and easy to remember - like the modern "Miracle Book of Miracles". No original manuscript has survived.

There is an opinion that it was Marco Polo who gave Italy ice cream and pasta.

In fact, pasta was known in the Arab countries as early as the 1279th century, and dry pasta was mentioned in Genoa in 1929 - a quarter of a century before Polo, according to his own statement, returned to Italy. According to renowned culinary history expert Alan Davidson, the myth did not begin until XNUMX, when it was first mentioned in an American pasta trade magazine.

Ice cream may well have been a Chinese invention, but it seems unlikely to us that its introduction in the West has anything to do with Polo, since no mention of it is found anywhere else until the middle of the XNUMXth century.

Artificial leather for touch emulation 15.04.2024

In a modern technology world where distance is becoming increasingly commonplace, maintaining connection and a sense of closeness is important. Recent developments in artificial skin by German scientists from Saarland University represent a new era in virtual interactions. German researchers from Saarland University have developed ultra-thin films that can transmit the sensation of touch over a distance. This cutting-edge technology provides new opportunities for virtual communication, especially for those who find themselves far from their loved ones. The ultra-thin films developed by the researchers, just 50 micrometers thick, can be integrated into textiles and worn like a second skin. These films act as sensors that recognize tactile signals from mom or dad, and as actuators that transmit these movements to the baby. Parents' touch to the fabric activates sensors that react to pressure and deform the ultra-thin film. This ... >>

The attractiveness of caring men 14.04.2024

The stereotype that women prefer "bad boys" has long been widespread. However, recent research conducted by British scientists from Monash University offers a new perspective on this issue. They looked at how women responded to men's emotional responsibility and willingness to help others. The study's findings could change our understanding of what makes men attractive to women. A study conducted by scientists from Monash University leads to new findings about men's attractiveness to women. In the experiment, women were shown photographs of men with brief stories about their behavior in various situations, including their reaction to an encounter with a homeless person. Some of the men ignored the homeless man, while others helped him, such as buying him food. A study found that men who showed empathy and kindness were more attractive to women compared to men who showed empathy and kindness. ... >>

Suit for Robinson 01.11.2000

For lovers of travel and extreme sports, the Finnish sportswear firm Reima has designed a suit that can raise the alarm if something happens to its wearer far from civilization.

Numerous sensors sewn into the suit continuously measure body temperature, pulse rate and skin moisture. If these parameters go beyond the norm, and the owner of the suit has stopped moving, a miniature computer, also available in the suit, calls for help via satellite, and indicates the location of the victim.
