If, in the midst of sorting receipts and studying the latest changes in the US income tax laws, you suddenly wonder "What is the origin of this annual ritual in the weeks leading up to April 15th?" here are some places you can go for answers.

The origin of the income tax on individuals is generally cited as the passage of the 16th Amendment, passed by Congress on July 2, 1909, and ratified February 3, 1913; however, its history actually goes back even further. During the Civil War Congress passed the Revenue Act of 1861 which included a tax on personal incomes to help pay war expenses. The tax was repealed ten years later. However, in 1894 Congress enacted a flat rate Federal income tax, which was ruled unconstitutional the following year by the U.S. Supreme Court because it was a direct tax not apportioned according to the population of each state. The 16th amendment, ratified in 1913, removed this objection by allowing the Federal government to tax the income of individuals without regard to the population of each State. For additional information on taxation in the United States, see the section on taxes on the web site of the U.S. Department of the Treasury.

Answer:

The Gupta Empire, founded by Maharaja Sri Gupta, was an ancient Indian realm that covered much of the Indian Subcontinent from approximately 320-550 CE. Gupta rule, while solidified by territorial expansion through war, began a period of peace and prosperity marked by advancements in science, technology, engineering, art, dialectics, literature, logic, mathematics, astronomy, religion, and philosophy. Gupta made novel advances in the sciences, astronomy (Gupta philosophers proposed that the earth was not flat, but was instead round and rotated on an axis by viewing lunar eclipses and discoveries about gravity and the planets of the solar system, which they used to tell the horoscopes). Indian mathematicians in the Gupta period made important contributions. They were the first to use algebra, develop the idea of zero, and explain the concept of infinity; something without an end. They were also were the first to use the numbers 1-9 for counting. Early Indians also invented mathematical algorithms. In medicine, Gupta physicians developed herbal remedies to treat various illnesses. They also developed a form of plastic surgery for the treatment of facial injuries. Physicians vaccinated against smallpox, a practice later used in China around the10th century and in Europe in the 17th century.

Why might a Roman historian like ammianus want to compare the huns to unthinking animals
KatRina [158]
The reason for this is that Romans were at the time a very highly developed civilization while the Huns, together with other tribes with which the Romans have dealt with in previous decades, were mostly nomads who did not have permament and grand settlements such as Rome at the time for example. For that reason, this might have made historians like Ammianus be inclined to think that Huns were savage brutes without the capability to think.
