Time Travel Question 47: Early Modernish and Earlier 2 (Reposted. First Version Had Issues

These Questions are the result of suggestions a the previous iteration.

This category may include suggestions made too late to fall into the correct earlier time grouping. Basically, I'd already moved on to human history, but I'd periodically get a pre-homin suggestion, hence the occasional random item waaay out of it's time period, rather than reopen the category.

In some cases a culture lasted a really long time and I grouped them by whether it was likely the later or earlier grouping made the most sense with the information I had. (Invention ofs tend to fall in an earlier grouping if it's still open. Ones that imply height of or just before something tend to get grouped later, but not always. Sometimes I'll split two different things from the same culture into different polls because they involve separate research goals or the like).

Please add new suggestions below if you have them for future consideration. All cultures and time periods welcome.

The main thing I am taking away from Wolf Hall is a mortal terror of the English sweating sickness, which per epidemiological speculation from historical records may or may not be a rodent-borne hantavirus and was last observed in 1551

tuberculosis gets a bad rap. everyone sees it as the nineteenth-century disease, which is honestly unfair - it was killing people for centuries before that and has continued for centuries after! why have a victorian lady fainting when you could have a norman knight staring at his blood-covered tunic sleeve in panic? a tudor noblewoman with a cough that won't go away complaining to her anxious husband? a jacobean peasant who was so excited to see hamlet, but can't, because he's dying of consumption? have some imagination, people!
