@MintakaGlow Deutsches Museum is a big science museum but I'm not sure how accessible it is to non-German speakers... They are building up the tents for the Oktoberfest currently, if you're interested in having a look. There are cheap guided tours about Munich in WW2, usually worthwhile!

Classical Latin was complex compared to modern languages. (More noun cases, more verb forms…) But its predecessors were even more complex, back to Proto-Indo-European. Yet there must have been a time when languages evolved to *increasing* complexity. When was the peak, and why?
