The University of Oxford is older than the Aztec Empire. The University of Oxford first opened its doors to students all the way back in 1096. By comparison, the Aztec Empire is said to have originated with the founding of the city of Tenochtitlán at Lake Texcoco by the Mexica which occurred in the year 1325.

When an agreement was reached in ancient Greece, an object was torn over and the two halves were given to the two parties to the agreement.
When the agreement was to be redeemed, those involved had to prove their part of the agreement by presenting their half. This half was called a 'symbolon', and hence the word 'symbol', as the two parts were a symbol of the agreement Markus

There is no "University of Oxford", just a conglomerate of different small colleges trying to pretend to be better than each other, class society style.

On an American one-dollar bill, there is an owl in the upper left-hand corner of the "1"encased in the "shield" and a spider hidden in the front upper right-hand corner.

Ferrets, dogs, and monkeys were the most popular pets in the Roman Empire. Instead of cats, Ancient Romans used ferrets to hunt mice and rats. They used dogs as guards and monkeys as entertainment.

When my grandparents on my mothers side got their first TV they placed it in their finest dinner room and when they watched a program they were well dressed and sad like they were in Church-They fully believed that people in tv could see them.
