Kaunas - sometimes seen with its Russian name Kovno. History At the place of current Kaunas oldtown, at confluence of two large rivers, people lived already 10th century BC. The town was first mentioned in written sources in 1361. In 13th century stone wall was built to protect from constant Teutonic Knights attacks. At 1408 the town was provided with Magdeburg Rights. Then Kaunas started to grow, as an important city at trade route intersections and river port. In 1441 Kaunas signed Hansa treaty and had Hansa merchant office opened. Already in 16th century Kaunas had public school, hospital, drugstore and was one of best formed towns in Grand Duchy of Lithuania. The 17th and 18th centuries were unfortunate for Kaunas. In 1665 Russian army attacked the city several times. In 1701 city.
Kali Yuga - at the end of Krishna's bodily lifespan near the end of the 15th century BC and will last exactly 432,000 years - placing its conclusion near the middle of the 431st millennium AD. Kalki, the 10th and final avatar of Vishnu, is expected to appear at this time, riding a white horse and wielding a flaming sword with which to strike down the wicked. Kali Yuga is the last of 4 Yugas; upon its conclusion, the world will "reboot" into a new Satya Yuga (Golden Age.) This involves the end of the world as we know it and the return of the earth to a state of paradise. See also Metrics of time in Hinduism.
Kandula - Mahanvamsa (the Great Chronicle of Lanka) by Mahanaman. When King Duttagamani (101 - 77 BC) was born, many gifts were said to have appeared spontaneously, among them a fine elephant who was found by a fisherman named Kandula. The elephant was named for its finder and became the companion of Duttagamani, serving as his mount during the wars that led to the unification of Sri Lanka..
Vedic Sarasvati River - enumeration of the rivers in Rigveda 10.75, the order is Ganga, Yamuna, Sarasvati, Shutudri. Hence it is quite clear that one of the rivers given the name 'Sarasvati' flowed through Haryana and Rajasthan. The question is whether this is the primal 'Sarasvati'. The Rigveda declares that this Saravati rises in the mountains and ends up in the sea. Recent finding suggest the Ghaggar-Hakra river did once flow in great strength, and was of major importance to the Indus Valley civilization, but that it dried up due to the redirection of its tributaries, at the latest in 1900 BC but perhaps much earlier. Clearly this is of great importance in establishing the date of the Rigveda..
Kavala - It is prettily situated on the Bay of Kavala, across from the island of Thasos. It was originally founded by settlers from Paros in about the 6th century BC, who called it Neapolis ("new city"). Gold mines in the Pangaion hills nearby made it prosperous. It became a Roman civitas in 168 BC, and was a base for Brutus and Cassius in 42 BC, before their defeat in the Battle of Philippi. The Apostle Paul landed at Kavala on his first voyage to Europe, and in Byzantine times the city was renamed Christoupolis. Kavala was part of the Ottoman Empire from 1371 to 1912. Mehmet Ali was born here in 1769. Some of it's most recognisable landmarks is a Venecian castle, in the hill of Panagia, and an aquaduct built by.
Vercingetorix - Vercingetorix Vercingetorix (died 46 BC), chieftain of the Arverni, led the great Gallic revolt against the Romans in 53–52 BC. His name in Gaulish means "over-king" (ver-rix) of warriors (cingetos). As described in Julius Caesar's Gallic_Wars, Rome had secured domination over the Celtic tribes beyond the Provincia Narbonensis (modern day Provence) through a careful divide and rule strategy. Vercingetorix ably unified the tribes, adopted the policy of retreating to natural fortifications, and undertook an early example of scorched_earth methods by burning the towns to prevent the Roman legions from living off the land. Caesar and his chief lieutenant Labienus lost the initial minor engagements, but captured the tribal capital at Avaricum (Bourges), and then overtook and encircled Vercingetorix at the Battle of Alesia. Vercingetorix summoned his Gallic allies to attack.
Kalidas - are disputed. Some Indian scholars believe he existed around 1st Century BC, but others believe that his works may have been written around the middle of the 4th and 5th centuries A.D, during the reigns of Chandragupta Vikramaditya, and his successor, Kumaaragupta. He was one of the so-called nine gems of Vikramaditya's court in Ujjain. The earlier claim pointing to his existence around 1st century BC, is supported by his play on the Shunga king Agnimitra who belonged to that period. It is very unlikely that he would have made this obscure king the hero of his play unless he belonged to that period. The Vikrama calendar also begins with 58-57 BC. However, not much is known about his personal life and background, though there are several legends and tales about.
