A record from antiquity provides a fascinating glimpse into early Rhanukhani exploration of the surrounding world.
The scroll contains 101 lines of text in Antique Rhanukhani script and dates from the 9th century AU (unusual, as Antique script had long been succeeded by Old script at this time). The consensus of scholarship is that it represents a partial copy of a 5th century BU document. It begins, "This is the report of the voyage of Rhah, chief of the Khuna, into the southern areas of Nevitsroghan, beyond the Tail of Holodlhessi, which he dedicated to Bruspanah the Unyielding." Bruspanah being a war deity, highly esteemed by the ancient Khunate tribes - ruins of temples dedicated to him have been found throughout Khun province.
With 60 ships and 30,000 people, Rhah intends to found settlements along the Nevitsroghani coast. He first founds one city near the mouth of the Hesslian Gulf, then sails some distance and founds five others. Arriving at a river, the Khuna meet the Skheghae, a friendly nomadic tribe. They learn of the nearby Likhians - men said to have the ears and horns of cattle - and the Skhunthae, who each possess two heads. Taking aboard several Skheghae, they set sail again, crossing an "immense opening of the sea" to reach a low, marshy coast. At an island they name Skholte, another settlement is built. Around an unnamed river, there are savage men and large wild beasts. After returning to Skholte, they sail further south down Nevitsroghan, finding people whose language even the Skhegae interpreters do not understand. Passing further, Rhah finds an endless coast of sand dunes, beyond which fires may be sighted. At a point called the "Horn of the South", they sail up a river to a lake where a tribe called the Yahrra live. Despite the lack of a common language, the Khuna successfully trade goods with the Yahrra, in particular obtaining the meat and pelts of animals said to have the heads of lions and the tails of fish. Circumnavigating the lake, it becomes apparent that the lands here extend flat and marshy in all directions, plagued with mosquitoes, and Rhah determines that there will be little of value to be found beyond. Having replenished provisions for the return to Khun, they do not sail further.
It's considered unlikely that such a large fleet was assembled at this point in history, with most scholars agreeing a number closer to 5,000 people, but there is little doubt that the voyage actually took place. If, as many scholars believe, the land of the Yahrra was located on the modern River Ghyar then Rhah's fleet would have travelled over 7,000 miles before turning back - a most impressive feat for the time.

"Fløyen is one of the seven mountains surrounding the city of Bergen. Mount Fløyen is great for hiking and of course a perfect spot for those panoramic views! To get to Mount Fløyen you can take the Fløibanen funicular from the city center right to the top.
It is easily accessible right from the city center about 3 minutes’ walk from the Fish Market and about 5 minutes’ walk from the World Heritage Site Bryggen.
When on top you can enjoy a panoramic view of Bergen and the region. There are also a restaurant, a café and shop and a very nice playground for the kids. And don’t miss taking a picture with the big troll!
Mount Fløyen is perfect for hiking and has a lot of marked trails to follow. You can choose between a short stroll and find a nice bench to enjoy the views or follow the trails all the way across Vidden to Mount Ulriken.
One of the shortest tours is to the lake called Skomakerdiket. It is about 0,8 kilometers from the viewpoint at Fløyen and perfect for kids or anyone who just want a quick getaway from the city. During the summer you can rent a canoe free of charge and there are picninc spots with tables and benches. The trail is signposted and starts by the playground.
Brushytten cabin is a popular spot all year. The walk from Fløyen view point takes about 2,5-3 hours from Fløyen and back in total. The trail is easy to follow and not too steep and suitable for the whole family, even with a pram!
For the sporty type we recommend the hike from Mount Fløyen to Mount Ulriken called Vidden. (Vidden means mountain plateau in Norwegian.) The hike takes about 5 hours and offers beautiful views almost the entire time! You can do the hike either by starting at Fløyen and ending at Mount Ulriken or the opposite directions. Ulriken to Fløyen is perhaps the preferred direction as it is practical to end up in the city center when finishing. (And Ulriken is higher than Fløyen so you get a bit more downhills!)
To walk down from Fløyen to the city center takes about one hour. There are several trails leading down and the routes are marked. Just ask some locals along the way if you are on the right track and they will happily guide you.
You also get a great photo opportunity at Fjellveien where the two funiculars pass each other. If you do not want to walk the entire way, you can take the funicular to the stop called Fjellveien and walk from there. (Just walk a bit back uphill and you’re at the right spot.)
If you are visiting Fløyen with children you can easily spend most of the day on top. Make sure you have suitable clothing and wear something warm and waterproof in the winter.
The playground is very popular for visitors and tourist alike. There are several slides, swings and different things to climb on to practice your balance. If you walk about 10 minutes you get a really nice obstacle course as well, perfect for kids from 8 years old. The playground and the obstacle course are free of charge. And if you wander a bit into the forest across the path from the playground you might just meet some trolls...!"

As with the surrounding area, Rains County was home to various Native American groups, including the Caddo.
The first settler of European descent was probably James H. Hooker of Tennessee, who arrived in the 1840s by way of Missouri.
Carved mainly out of Wood County, with smaller areas taken from Wood and Hopkins Counties, in 1870, Rains County was named for Emory Rains, an early pioneer who had served in the Congress of the Republic of Texas.
Originally named Springville, and renamed after Rains County was formed, the county seat of Emory was first settled in 1848. By 1929, the population had risen to 1,000, but during the Great Depressions, dwindled to under 450. The 2020 census put the population at 1,251, with the total population of the county at 12,164.
The 1908 Beaux Arts style building situated in the center of Emory is the county's third courthouse. The first, a log cabin, was erected in 1871, and burned down in 1879. It was replaced with a brick structure in 1884, which burned down in 1908.
Built in the shape of a Maltese cross, the building is topped with an octagonal dome. One interesting feature is that the vault from the burned 1884 courthouse was left in place, and the current courthouse was built around it, at the cost of $35,000 (more than $1,127,000 in today's money). The building was restored in 2006.
