876228 | https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/The%20Worm%20Ouroboros | The Worm Ouroboros | The Worm Ouroboros is a heroic high fantasy novel by English writer E.R. Eddison. First published in 1922, the book describes the long war between King Gorice of Witchland and the Lords of Demonland.
It is set in an imaginary world that appears medieval and reminiscent of Norse sagas. The work is slightly related to Eddison's later Zimiamvian Trilogy, and collectively they are sometimes called the Zimiamvian series.
The book was illustrated by Keith Henderson, who also illustrated books by Geoffrey Chaucer and W.H. Hudson.
The work is described as fantasy because it is not an attempt to imagine the future (as does much science fiction) but instead presents an imagined world, rather like The Lord of the Rings.

A bill was brought to the Georgia state legislature, however it was rejected because Georgia's constitution prohibits the creation of more than 159 counties in the state.

876304 | https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abdullah%20ibn%20Saba | Abdullah ibn Saba | Abdullah ibn Saba () was a religious leader who founded Shia Islam. His followers were known as Sabayya.
Ghulat career
Abdullah ibn Saba is considered the first ghulat (extremist). He was the first one to declare faith in the Imamate of Ali. After Ali’s death, he is said to maintain this idea that "a devil in ʿAli’s appearance had been murdered" and ʿAli had ascended to heaven and that his occultation (rajʿa) was imminent. Saba probably invented the concept of ghayba and return.
Heinz Halm records him as a representative of a Ghulat group from the city of Seleucia-Ctesiphon (al-Madā'in) who came to see ‘Alī in Kūfah. When Saba proclaimed divinity, then ‘Alī denied this angrily and exiled him back to Seleucia-Ctesiphon.
Roles in Uthman’s assassination
Tabari and Sayf ibn Umar record Abdullah ibn Saba from playing any major role in the political events that led to Uthman's killing. He and his followers are said to be the ones who enticed the Egyptians against Uthman on the ground of Ali's special right of succession, and participated in further instigation at later conflicts.
Legacy
For his roles in Uthman's assassination, few Shia Muslims honor Saba and his 'martrydom'. There is a favorable Shia quote that formed around the figure of Abdullah ibn Saba. The story of Saba has also been used by Shia factions to both attack and defend extreme Shia groups. In an non-authentic Shia source, Abdullah ibn Saba was cursed by Ja'far al-Sadiq.
Criticism
Jews view Saba negatively and historical Jewish sources regarded him as an apostate from Judaism. Sunni Muslims view Saba as a ghulat seeking to corrupt the message of Islam from by introducing proto-Shia beliefs. Since Saba used to hate Abu Bakr, Umar and Uthman, Sunni Muslims view him negatively and curse him. Sa'd ibn Abdullah al-Ash'ari al-Qummi reported in al-Maqaalaat wal-Firaq p. 20:

Organization history
Van der Crabben founded Ancient History Encyclopedia in 2009 with the stated goal of improving history education worldwide by creating a freely accessible and reliable history source. The non-profit organization is based in Godalming, United Kingdom and Montreal, Canada, although it has no office and its team is globally distributed.
The site had an emphasis on ancient history when it was founded, but it later shifted to cover the Medieval and early Modern periods as well. In 2021, the organization renamed itself World History Encyclopedia to reflect this change.
Reception
The website has received praise by educational organizations and has been recommended by the School Library Journal, the Internet Scout Research Group at the University of Wisconsin–Madison, MERLOT and the European Commission's Open Education Europa initiative. In 2016, it won the .eu Web Award for education from the organization EURid.
