19:42<\/span> – The major river I’m unable to remember is the Yellow River, called Huang He in Chinese. A number of ancient Chinese civilizations, including the Jiahu, arose along this river as early as 7000 BCE.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

39:43<\/span> – The Code of Hammurabi was written around 1772 BCE. My guess at “two to three thousand years BCE” was a little off here.<\/p>\n

41:32<\/span> – Iaroslav the Wise was not directly descended from Oleg, as I mistakenly stated. Iaroslav was a descendant of the Rurik dynasty of Varangians; when Oleg took Kiev, he was acting as Prince Regent while waiting for Igor I to come of age, but was not part of the Rurik dynasty by blood – just part of the tradition of rulers of Kievan Rus. I’m honestly not surprised I missed this bit of information first time through.<\/p>\n
