How did Marc Antony die?
Mark Antony died in 30 BCE.
After Octavian had defeated him and Cleopatra in the battle of Actium, they fled back to Alexandria, followed by Octavian.
Affter a non-battle in which Antony's fleet and army defected to Octavian,
Antony attempted suicide, and managed to botch it. He was carried to Cleopatra's mausoleum where she had shut herself up in, and there died in her arms.
After a couple of weeks of unsuccessful negotiation with Octavian, rather than be taken alive and exhibited in a triumph in Rome, she also suicided.
How did Atlantis sink?
Atlantis sank under the North Atlantic Ocean at around 1600 B.C. due to some natural disasters. But that's not all; Atlantis had a (supposed) hidden secret. Some say that it is a myth but others say it is the only TRUTH about Atlantis. It was believed that moments before the disappearance a common girl of an unknown was believed to have found a sacred stone (green in color) believed now to be closely described as called the Jade Stone. Only this one was very different from moderate and updated Jade stone. Its color was believed to have a color on it out of this world, one no human eye has ever seen. Somehow, when she touched it for the second time ["For the second day the sun may open the clouds, the clouds again"] the clouds opened and the city was destroyed by an object of which was as smooth and shapely as the sunrise.
Another view: There are those who also believe that 'Atlantis' and a lost Celtic kingdom are one and the same. Considering that the English Channel was formed when a giant natural dam broke (in much the same way that the seas around the islands of North Canada were formed), and that people were probably living on what is now sea-bed, this is entirely possible, and perhaps this legend of a land disappearing perpetuated itself throughout history.
Answer: The answer lies in various different cultures legends and myths and can be pieced together to show one answer only that touches them all. It is unlikely that Plato's "Atlantis" was the island that sank in 1600 B.C., although an island about then did suffer an earthquake, and the legends over time have merged, but this alone does not fit the "continent" of size he described or the location.
The worldwide flood of 3000 B.C. described in the Hebrew Bible and other sources destroyed every continent on earth not just one.
According to the Hindu text the Bhagavad Gita, also about the same time there was one continent that was said to nearly dominate the whole world. This account describes a world war five thousand years ago between two advanced cultures, the ancestors of the Hindi called the Rama Empire and another group "bent" on total world domination. This group fits the description of ancient Atlantis.
This conflict resulted in a war so destructive it not only destroyed both armies completely, but started a chain of events that within a matter of days destroyed the entire world. A doomsday device was detonated, a planet killer so powerful, it came with a warning that translated "not to be used on a terrestrial foe". This also is from the Bhagavad Gita, "A single projectile charged with the "energy of the universe" exploded with the brilliance of a ten thousand suns". A battle in the Drona Parve section of the Mahabharata describes similar events.
The explosion threw the Earth off its axis 23 degrees and out of orbit slightly from 360 to 365 1/4 days. The upper atmospheric water canopy collapsed causing a worldwide flood which did cover every mountain on Earth. The world then was very advanced as it is today. Ships roamed the oceans, aircraft flew through the air, and even spacecraft were described in the Bhagavad Gita...but nothing survived.
This wasn't just a flood or a world-war. It was the intentional extermination of an entire planet. A single nuclear weapon so destructive it caused a polar shift with instant climate change and catastrophic violent weather outbreaks, and then a total worldwide flood covering everything with a layer of sediment and ice. When the waters receded, there was nothing left. Except for a single monument built to withstand the destruction, the Great Pyramid of Giza, nothing of the former world survived from the other side of the flood. This also explains how areas once a tropical paradise now lay under the ice at the South Pole. How a Woolly Mammoth discovered in northern Russia with green fern leaves still in its stomach was quick frozen.
While it is possible the Atlantis story may refer to some previous destruction about seven or eight thousand years further back in time (which left the Earth "formless and void" in Gen. chapter 1) there is even less of a chance of any real written or oral history of that time surviving.
So the most likely explanation taking into account the war, the weapon, the axis/pole change and the flood 5,000 years ago, is the destruction of Atlantis is really an account of the destruction of an entire world. In Greek mythology it was Atlas who balanced the whole world upon his shoulders.
Another view:
Large land masses have caves and air pockets and when the weight of the ocean is displaced upon land we understand why Atlantis sank.

What myths did Osiris the Egyptian god appear in?

Who was Constantine?
Constantine I
Constantine is best known for being the first Christian Roman Emperor. In 313, Constantine announced toleration of Christianity in the Edict of Milan, which removed penalties for professing Christianity (under which many had been martyred in previous persecutions) and returned confiscated Church property. Scholars debate whether Constantine adopted his mother St. Helena's Christianity in his youth, or whether he adopted it gradually over the course of his life.[3] Constantine is also remembered for convoking the Council of Nicaea in 325, one of many significant impacts the emperor had in the development of the Christian religion.
the first emporer turned christian for government sake back when. See Related Links
See the Related Links for "Constantine I" to the bottom for the answer.
1. Constantine used a rebellion in order to become the emperor of all of Old Rome (had Byzantine Empire- Eastern 1/2 to start with). It becomes Nova Roma or New Rome.
2.He established the great Constantinople. It was situated so it could control trade between the Mediterranean and the Black Sea. This meant it practically controlled global trade. This city later become Istanbul of Turkey (I think)
3. Establishes Christianity as legal. Before they were persecuting them...
The funny thing about him is that Constantine had visions of "God" and rode to battle with a flag with a cross on it in order to win. But he wasn't a Christian until the day he died. People say it's easiest to be Christian that way since you can ignore all the rules and then get cleansed before you die....
What does Hindu mean?
The word Hindu came from the word Sindhu which meant those who lived on the other side of the Indus river. The Persian pronounced the Sindhu as Hindus, and all people living on the other side of the river Sindhu were called by them as Hindus.
This is also the place that the religious belief of reincarnation started. The Religion was named after the region it originated from just as Judaism is named after the region it originated from.
Websters defines it as a native or inhabitant of India, but I disagree and would say that that would be an Indian, not a Hindu. It also says that a Hindu is a follower of Hinduism, but the name Hinduism came after Hindu so I am not in full agreement with that either. I would say it doesn't really have a definition that isn't circular so it can't really be defined.
What does a chimerical scheme mean?
Chimerical Scheme
The term "A Chimerical Scheme" is derived from the Greek Story of Pegasus and Bellerophon. At one point in the story, The King of Lycia was asked to kill Bellerophon but instead of killing him himself, he told Bellerophon to kill the Chimaer, assuring that Bellerophon would die in the attempt. That is the origin of a chimerical scheme, and from this I would guess that the present-day meaning would be to ask somebody to do something that would bode harm to them without their knowing. A chimerical Scheme is a scheme that is so wildly fanciful and delusionary that it could never become a reality, having no existence except in thought.
Where is Atlantis?
Atlantis was an island continent just off the coast of Africa just slightly north of the Canary Islands. In fact, the Canary Islands of today are a branch of the Nile river that ran across North Central Africa at this time. It sank as they say, about 1600 B.C. as the world was expanding at this time.

When did Constantine became Emperor of Rome?
Answer-
Constantine I became Emperor in the "Gallic Prefecture" of Britain, Gaul and the Iberian Peninsula, on the death of his father in 306. In 312 he defeated Maxentius at the Milvian Bridge (at which point he openly embraced Christianity) and thus became sole Emperor in the West. A rival, Licinius, ruled the Eastern half until 324, when Constantine defeated him in civil war. Constantine then ruled the whole empire until his death in 337.
When was david king of israel?
Another answer from our community:
David reigned from 1077-1038 BCE. David was anointed as king on three different occasions: once by Samuel, later by the men of Judah, and finally by all the tribes. (1Sa 16:13; 2Sa 2:4; 5:3)
In Hebron, the older men of Judah anointed him as king over their tribe in 1077 B.C.E., when he was 30 years old. David ruled at Hebron seven and a half years before moving his capital, at Jehovah's direction, to the captured Jebusite stronghold, Jerusalem. There he built the City of David on Zion and continued to rule another 33 years.
