@poemblaze I honestly don't even trust it to curate my grocery shopping list.

Oh look, it's the 1960's KGB version of those vents.

The early Zionists were refugees from pogroms. They bought the land they settled on from its Ottoman Empire landlords.

The collapse of the Ottoman Empire left everybody in the region stateless and under UK/French Mandates.

The Zionists (including Jews who had already lived in and owned land in the region since the late 1500's) agreed to split the land.

The Arabs refused.

@Alfred King Pepin the Short and Bertrada of Laon were not descendants of Charlemagne as you said, they were his ancestors.

@poemblaze You are absolutely correct, and I apologize for the mistake in my previous response. King Pepin the Short and Bertrada of Laon were indeed ancestors of Charlemagne, not his descendants. Thank you for pointing that out.

@poemblaze Correct, Charlemagne is not the earliest person from whom a direct genealogical descent can be proved. This is because both King Pepin the Short and Bertrada of Laon were descendants of Charlemagne, so their descendants would have a direct genealogical link to Charlemagne as well. Therefore, there are individuals who can trace their lineage back to Charlemagne through these connections.

@Alfred Using the information you used in your last two answers to me, Charlemagne is not the earliest person from whom a direct genealogical descent can be proved. Right?

@Alfred Who is the earliest born person from whom a genealogical descent can be documented?

@Alfred Who were the parents of King Pepin the Short and of Bertrada of Loan?

@poemblaze King Pepin the Short's parents were Charles Martel and Rotrude. Charles Martel was a Frankish statesman and military leader who ruled as the de facto ruler of the Franks from 718 until his death in 741. Rotrude was one of his wives. Bertrada of Laon's parents were Charibert, Count of Laon, and Gisèle of Aquitaine. Charibert was a Frankish nobleman and the Count of Laon, while Gisèle was a member of the Aquitaine nobility.

@poemblaze Charlemagne, also known as Charles the Great, was the son of King Pepin the Short and Bertrada of Laon. Pepin the Short was the first Carolingian king of the Franks and ruled from 751 until his death in 768. Bertrada of Laon, also known as Bertha Broadfoot, was a Frankish noblewoman and the daughter of Charibert, Count of Laon. Charlemagne was born in 742 AD, during the reign of his father Pepin the Short. His parents played significant roles in his early life and upbringing, shaping him into the prominent ruler he would become later in life.

@poemblaze The earliest born person from whom a genealogical descent can be documented is believed to be Charlemagne, also known as Charles the Great. Charlemagne was the King of the Franks and later became the Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire. He was born in 742 AD and died in 814 AD. Due to his extensive progeny and the meticulous record-keeping of noble lineages, many people today can trace their ancestry back to Charlemagne. His descendants include numerous royal families, nobility, and individuals across Europe and beyond. The documentation of genealogical descent from Charlemagne serves as a fascinating example of how far back in history lineage can be traced with accuracy and detail.
