30 Lot and his two daughters left Zoar and settled in the mountains, for he was afraid to stay in Zoar. He and his two daughters lived in a cave. 31 One day the older daughter said to the younger, “Our father is old, and there is no man around here to give us children—as is the custom all over the earth. 32 Let’s get our father to drink wine and then sleep with him and preserve our family line through our father.”
33 That night they got their father to drink wine, and the older daughter went in and slept with him. He was not aware of it when she lay down or when...

Are there any documentaries about WWII that acknowledge the fact that Nazi Germany started the was together with Soviet Union, fighting side by side and that both regimes were just as brutal and that Soviet alliance with the West proves that the war wasn't a simple good vs evil case?
It seems that most modern documentaries are ashamed of that and usually ignore anything involving USSR before 1941 or talk about some bullshit "lesser evil."

Based on the book '1939: The War that had many Fathers' by Schultze-Ronhof, a recommended read too.

Part 2:
The consideration here, is that we are often not told of this context so it makes the German territorial disputes seem worse or somewhat done in isolation, when this is entirely not true.
Winston Churchill alludes to the legitimacy of the long standing Danzig corridor debate in 1932, in a speech:
"The removal of the just grievances of the vanquished ought to precede the disarmament of the victors. I hope I have made that quite clear. To bring about anything like equality of armaments, if it were in our power to do so, which it happily is not,...

Why is there a stegasaurus carved into a 12th century Cambodian temple?
>>35669
I don't know, you tell me.
>>35669
doesnt look like a stegosaurus. the head is very different. maybe they reconstructed/did guess work from some bones, or maybe it was a different species of lizard that is extinct now. i love alternative history theories, but there is no way that such a recent temple would have a dinosaur on it, even if they did copy earlier sources.
>>35669
That looks like a stegoceratops.
