I would take that to state college geology or archaeology department and try to catch a professor’s office hours!

Yermak Timofeyevich was a Cossack fur-trapper and explorer who started the conquest of Siberia.
The wealthy Stroganov family helped finance the conquest of Siberia and made much of their fortune through fur trading.

I have always been interested in mountain men. I’m sure Russia has some famous trappers like Jim Bridger or Hugh Glass were in America. Does anyone know of some and books about them?

The foremost expert on geology in that area is Dr. Bill Cannon from the US Geological Survey.

It looks like you received answers on your original post but just didn't like them.

No. Napoleon was not a revolutionary no compromise republican that would only be satisfied by the destruction of all thrones. His actions are proof of that: he declared himself emperor (meaning the most important monarchical ruler in Europe, above kings in status), he made France into a hereditary monarchy again, he created his own nobility and invited back the old French nobility that went into exile during the Revolution.
So no, he wasn't against monarchy. He wanted France to be a monarchy among other monarchies in Europe... but then, why:
>It sort of feels as though Napoleon was vilified by the Royal families revising history after his defeat.
Because while he wanted to make France into a monarchy again, he wanted to realize the dream of a lot of French monarchs before him: make France the sole superpower in Europe.
That's why he created new kingdoms (Italy, Holland) and usurped old kingdoms (Spain, Naples) and put his brothers and brothers in law on those throne: because his family should rule the largest part of Europe possible.
He also conquered a lot of territories. That's France around 1799 (when Napoleon takes power in a coup). That's France a decade later. He annexed the whole of the Benelux, western Germany, Rome, Northern Italy... and usurped a lot of kingdoms around him.
That's why he was hated. Not because he was going to hang all the monarchs... but because he wanted to take their lands and title away. And put all of Europe under France direct or indirect control.

Was Napoleons intent after the french revolution to abolish all the monarchies of Europe and Asia? It sort of feels as though Napoleon was vilified by the Royal families revising history after his defeat. But I don't know history well enough to know what Napolean's true intentions were.

Did I?
To answer that, no, I didn't. But after seeing this, i did a 5-second google survey and found articles stating this study " debunked" and "proved." The article linked here uses the word "shown," and you have to get 4 paragraphs in before words like "proposed" get used.
So while i didn't make that jump other people did
And to be clear, I dont support the author they are going after in any way. The notion that northwest europeans in Britian communicated enough with Eastern Mediterranean cultures (Egyptians) to obtain, understand, and utilize their calendar system in 2500 bce is sort of silly.

Just some combination like Japan Guangdong forced labour Hainan should turn up a few pointers. I don't know if forced labour was much used within Guangdong or if local people were deported to Japan like some in the north: that might be another topic to look for, but I haven't seen any mentions.

Do you mean the 127mm Type 89? The 100mm Type 98 was a newer design, the Type 89 was used from 1932 onwards, and ships had already had older mountings refitted with Type 89s. The Type 98 was designed in 1938 and didn't enter service until 1941 or 1942.

Submission statement:
The article talks about how sunken landscapes, such as springs, lakes, and rivers, hold clues about the daily lives, beliefs, and diets of the first humans to inhabit North America. The article explores the work of researchers and archaeologists who are using new technologies to study these submerged prehistoric environments and how this research is expanding our understanding of early American history.

Thanks! You can never tell without really knowing it whether the history you see is revisionist history.
