Ancient is defined as someone or something that has lasted a very long time. The story of Hercules is an example of an ancient story. … The Roman Empire is an example of an ancient civilization.

The name of the ruler of the Achaemenid Empire means “warrior” in translation. His life was made up of military victories, but defeats played a big role in history. The Roman historian Gnaeus Pompey Trog in the famous work “Philip's History” calls the Persian king Xerxes I “the terror of the peoples”. Indeed, the ruler of the vast Achaemenid empire struck fear into those whom he subjugated or was about to subjugate.

On February 14, 1929, at about 10:30 a.m., machine gun fire rang out in a garage on North Clark Street in downtown Chicago's Lincoln Park neighborhood. Several passersby stopped. Residents peered out of the windows of neighboring houses, “What's all the noise?”

The garage doors opened and two police officers led two men out into the street with their hands in the air. The people who had been alarmed by the gunfire calmed down. The usual Chicago 20's business: the police arrested two gangsters. The cops loaded the gangsters into a black Cadillac and drove away.

A big holiday - the New Year - is on the horizon. Passengers of the domestic flight Bishkek - Osh are eagerly awaiting departure on board the Tu-134 of Altyn Air in the livery of “Kyrgyzstan”. The departure is delayed due to weather conditions at Osh airport, but not canceled. There is a tendency for the weather to improve.

Having once again received the requested weather from the Osh airport meteo (wind at the ground 20°, 2 m/s, visibility 500 m, on the runway 750 m, supercooled fog, vertical visibility 60 m, air temperature 0°), the crew decided to perform the flight.
