Topic: Historical Events

Any ideas for a historical event that I could make? For Example - 9/11, World War II etc. Any other ideas would be greatly appreciated. mini/smile

Do something about Timurlane. You could animate burning camels charging at elephants! That would be fun!

The Defenestration of Prague?

excuse me while I dig out my list of this kind of stuff. I have a lot more but I can't remember them off the top of my head.

PS: Tycho Brahe died when his bladder exploded. If you could pull that off in lego you'd have an instant classic. He's also the guy who got his nose cut off while sword fighting drunk in the dark.

EDIT: Found some after consulting with the history guy on my Quiz Bowl team. here is his email:

The thirty years war was started when some guys got thrown out of a castle window into a pile of poop. Antoninus Pius died of a nosebleed. President Taft got stuck in a bathtub. Caligula made his horse a senator.

EDIT EDIT: I just thought of this, also Atilla the Hun died of a nosebleed. and there was some Roman dude who died of a fever induced by eating too much cheese.

EDIT EDIT EDIT: My friend was wrong. Atilla the Hun died of a nose bleed and the cheese guy os Antoninus Pius.
