"The Babylonian Bride Market" is a painting by the English artist Edwin Long, 1875. The painting depicts a custom taken from the "History" of Herodotus. In his work, the ancient Greek historian described the marriage customs of the peoples of ancient Sumer, Babylon, and Assyria. This historical fact based on the fact that every year all the unmarried girls of the village were gathered in the square, where something similar to an auction began. They bought future wives. The auction began with the most beautiful and statuesque girl, followed by the worst, and last was the ugliest or most crippled girl. Chronicler

Long before the invention of the lie detector, many nations of the world invented their own ways of determining a person's truthfulness. For example, the Arab Bedouin required the interrogator to touch a red-hot blade with his tongue. If the suspect got burned by the blade, it meant that his mouth had dried up before, which indicated his guilt. Chronicler

The word "idiot" is of Greek origin, originally used to refer to a person who has no interest in politics. When democracy began to develop in Athens, speakers began to use the word in a contemptuous context, implying that idiots did so not simply out of personal preference, but out of a lack of intelligence. Thus the word "idiot" gradually acquired its modern meaning. Chronicler
