I'm trying to make an accurate castle in Minecraft. I've read that the Great Hall was on the second floor of some/most castles (the period I'm aiming for is around the 1000s-1300s). What would be on the ground floor underneath this Great Hall? (More questions in text)

Modern countries such as the US/UK seem to have different cultures in different regions. "I'm from Florida," or "He's a Northerner." Did Bronze Age empires (Roman/Egyptian specifically) have similar concepts about culture in smaller regions or was it much more homogenized?

I was watching Extra History's series on Catherine the Great and it mentioned that Poland had once been a great power in Europe. When exactly was this, how was it powerful, and how did its downfall start?

I recently learned that Otto von Bismarck was an avid supporter of the monarchy and fought against the creation of the Prussian Parliament. What was the rationale behind supporting the monarchy despite the more democratic/revolution philosophies of the time?

I'm looking into Jack McDevitt's works. Is there any book of his that really conveys, for a good while, that feeling of being aware you're in something that used to be so alive, but now it's so dead, and you have no clue what happened?
