Friendo, when you have a hammer, all you see is nails. /pol/ did not invent Rome, Romulus did. I suggest you go back to your mudhut scythian.

they BTFO byzantines with half the force at Manzikert and established a huge caravan network that enabled people under control to trade, get rich, and increase in population, which led to a huge population increase which eventually was the reason ottomans became so successful

their architecture was also absolutely fascinating

No, it was a symptom. Blacks were massively treated like shit at the time, and every single aspect of the NoI was basically a backlash against white racism. Like, off the top of my head, the whole thing about Yakub making white people out of monkeys was because of whites, including academics and preachers, at the time were constantly comparing black people to monkeys.

Read Charles Mann's 1491 and 1493 instead, if you want to know about the same subject as it relates to the Americas.

Fagus Kahn would have gotten btfo by Alexander with period implements. He would have probably gotten btfo even without period implements, because after one skirmish Alexander would have implemented saddles and the like

He was a total pussy. Never personally fought in any of his battles. Ran over tiny villages and butchered unarmed peasants

You're probably thinking of the "great streetcar conspiracy," which was actually proven to be a legitimate conspiracy by GM to end existing streetcar service in major cities and replace it with buses (made by GM, of course) and highways.
