Is it just a remarkable coincidence that the Corinthian helmet is shaped like a circumcised knob-end, or is there symbolism involved? Did the ancient Greeks practice circumcision?
>>386861
Uncircumcised doesn't look that much different, penis imagery probably intentional
>>386861
Uncircumcised erect dick doesn't look much different from an circumcised erect dick.

Pretty sure they would. Circumcision is the removal of the penis head, it's gonna look different. Stop shilling Mr. Shlomo.
Are these books accurate?
>>386814
I imagine it varies, it is a large imprint with many authors, and while it is relatively easy to check an author's credentials, their sources, and academic background the odd nationalistic circlejerker or -aboo might slip through.
>>386814
Corinthian helmet was already out of fashion by that period.
What do you guys think about the Indo-European hypothesis?
I've always found it kind of cool how early Greek and German pagan religions show striking similarity to the Vedic religions in India, with many gods having the same function and names that are in many cases cognates of one another.
But I've also heard some people say that a lot of the work that has been done on the hypothesis is riddled with confirmation bias, many philologists making connections that aren't there just to confirm their beliefs.
I think it's pretty good, but some of it's proponents haven't done a good job of keeping it clean of flowery language (See Dumezil)
I just took a class on Vedic society and religion at my uni so we discussed the religious IE aspect heavily
Some of it seems a bit conflicting to me - on one end, you would think that many early cultures would develop similar religions because of just tendency for them to have the same religious needs (harvest, fertility, etc.). But it's hard to get past the name cognates and the like.
One cool thing that was in one of our readings was wondering how the Aryans who went to India, a largely nomadic people, conceived of a God who resided in a large stone temple...

It's the most well-established and most well-researched language family in the world. People who deny it are most certainly cranks.
>95% of native american deaths were actually from disease
How is dying from disease thanks to a weak immune system considered as genocide by history?
>>386516
Most people pretend like it never happened though.
>>386516
Because people unironically believe that Europeans deliberately and knowingly spread those diseases as an early type of biological warfare. Despite the fact that there is literally no concrete evidence for the deliberate spreading of disease via "smallpox blankets," everyone believes it anyway.

How has your country used history to promote a national identity?
In Canadian schools, we're taught that the Battle of Vimy Ridge was where the nation was born. The narrative of the battle emphasises that an all-Canadian force succeeded where others had failed; that novel tactics were employed; and that the battle was a turning point in the war.
A lot of these ideas come from the CBC's (Canadian Broadcasting Corporation) 50th anniversary project on the battle in 1967. This project was somewhat sketchy. It was based off of oral histories, gathered through...

Well at the time larrikinism was verboten, the Rape of Cairo had happened, along with the Sydney Beer Mutiny.
Bean is pretty much responsible for the post-war myth, and the two strikes and two referrenda were more important at home.
I dunno, eh? Scates has a good book on the anzac myth.
We learn our forefathers did really cool shit but couldn't go too far because our neighburs were assholes while actual important thousand-year old relics are rotting in piles of rubbish or are literally getting bulldozed.
>That she did what she wished, and that Stirner let her do what she wished-that of course may have let her appear in the eyes of the marriage-slaves as detestable as it later did to her, but it can only make the two of them more likable to us. Every act of making up the mind for the other, for that matter, would not have fit at all into the nature of those involved, for whom "marriage" meant only a loose band that was thrown around them purely externally. And not on the "unfaithfulness" of the wife-how ridiculous!-did "this marriage perish," but simply and only under the pressure of the circumstances in which he and she unfortunately all too soon found themselves.
From "Max Stirner - His Life and His Works" By Mackay
Gentlemen, I think this proves that we should remove the stigma attached to keks and begin to embrace kekoldry.
So what you're saying man who openly says that morality is an absurd fiction that you should desire to be rid of didn't give a shit about an old moral standard? Holy shit, stop the fucking presses.
>Gentlemen, I think this proves that we should remove the stigma attached to keks and begin to embrace kekoldry.
It proves nothing of the sort. Embrace what you will as you see fit and live your life how you see fit.

Behold, a post made by the haunted.
>>386293
Haunted? You're the one trying to make a wheel in the head out of Stirner's lack of concern for the fact his wife liked to screw around. There are egoistic reasons to not want your partner screwing around, there are egoistic reasons to be apathetic to your partner screwing around, and there are egoistic reasons to encourage it. How you choose to approach it from an egoistic standpoint is entirely up to you, but this particular tidbit about the man's personal life does not mean one of these approaches is...

One of those legendary figures where myth and history meet. Did he really exist? Who was he?
By the late middle ages King Arthur had been embedded into England as a national folk hero and legend, despite its Welsh origins. Geoffrey of Monmouth codified the Arthurian myth into what it has become today. This is where we get elements like the Sword in the Stone, and Merlin
Of course the legend is set in actual history. Post-Roman Britain to be exact. Not much is known from this time as there are no extant historical records aside from scarce outside mentions and one...

I very much doubt he existed, there is no historical evidence to support it.

Who wins in a fight Areas or Athena?
>>386014
Athena is canon: http://historylink101.com/2/greece2/ares_vs_athena.htm (poor quality source)
>>386014
During the Trojan war, Ares took the side of the Trojans, while Athena took the side of the Greeks.
Ares faced off with Diomedes, the king from Anatolia. Athena borrowed the helm of invisibility from Hades and caused Ares’ spear to go off course. This opened up Ares to a counterattack from Diomedes which deeply wounded Ares. Ares had to leave the battlefield and return to mount Olympus where his wounds were tended by Zeus.
>>386014
If it came to violence then Ares, but Athena would resolve the dispute another way.
Alright, I've created a list of every Philosophical work I could think off that people should read, anything you think I've missed?

Everything outside the western tradition.
Which is fine, because you've got to keep some coherency and order, but it's not "every philosophical work that people should read.''

Eurocentricism: the post
It is well known that the ancient Greeks were very fit, but there is a lot of controversy over how they trained.
How did they train? Obviously this didn't have barbells and such. How did they get such a massive core (pic related)?
While some may believe that /fit/ would be a better board to post this, I feel like /his/ would have more information to weigh in on the subject.
>>385717
Another example of their core.
>>385717
Statues typically depict idealized forms. So what you are posting is probably exceptional individual since that is supposed to be Herakles.
Military Training at youth and daily exercise was a part of the life style back then since each city relied on its population of men for war. So the majority of young and middle age men would have been fairly fit.
Yet there was also the idealized youthful and slender form as well. Pic related.
What is it with socialists and forced labor camps?
You got the Soviets and gulags (labor-prison camps), the German National Socialists (Nazis) and their concentration/labor/death camps, the Vietnamese Socialist "re-education" camps, the North Korean Socialist labor-prison camps (Kwan-li-so camps), Socialist Yugoslavia ran the infamous Goli otok camp, Socialist Romania created 5 "re-education" camps near Great Brăila Island, the Work Education Centers (forced labor camps) in Socialist Bulgaria, the force labor camps near Tirana in Socialist Albania,...

How would the would the world develop if North and South America didn't exist?
Africa would probably be a lot more white and christian. Europe would be a lot less prosperous. Rest of the world would more or less have stayed on the same track. No delicious maize or white potatoes.
Only North America has actually produced significant innovations of actual note. South America has been pretty useless.
Overall we'd be missing out some good stuff without America and Canada.
