No. There is no scientifical evidence of it.
Is Jstor good for research on Roman Britannia?

Fuck yes it is.
I recommend you read Salway's 1989 book if you can. It's a fantastic overview.

This is the head of a Nuragic statue representing a boxer, these statues have been dated recently around 1050-850 bc, making them the oldest in Europe.
Their height is around 2-2,5 meters depending on the statue, they represent warriors, archers, boxers and last years a new type of statue has been found, a group of twins with a peculiar type of shield.
The site investigated is around 75000 m^2, but according to Gaetano Ranieri, the geophysicist who's studying it thanks to the georadar. it could be as...

>The statues have been violently destroyed around the IVth century bc but it's unknown what happened exactly.
I bet the Sea Peoples did this (though it's a bit too early).
>>28703
The sea peoples were not around during that time.

One of the few examples of Nuragic writings, this one has been proven to be autentic in 2013 thanks to a Thermoluminescence exam and dated around the IX-VIIIth century bc, it remains undeciphered of course.
Do you resent the fact that polytheism died in Europe?
Any good books on the ancient Mystery schools that aren't /x/-tier?

Could WW2 have been avoid if plebiscites had been held in ethnic-German areas and allowed them the options to join Germany?
When Hitler talked about lebensraum was it just an IRL meme that he wouldn't have put into practice, or would Germany have tried to invade and depopulate Slavic areas at some point?
>>28548
>would Germany have tried to invade and depopulate Slavic areas at some point
They did invade, and they did try to depopulate Slavic areas. Hence the extermination of a few million people. The guy genuinely bought into fucked up ideological thinking that had previously been little more than a meme in German historical scholarship.
For instance, he said that because there had previously been Goths living in the Crimea Germany therefore had a right to liberate them from Slavic...

>there is a very small german minority in the Volga area of Russia who had moved to Russia willingly. This gives us the right to Western Russia.
Literally Kosovo syndrome.

N-no?
Who would win?
Legionary because samurai has
>no shield
Without any kind of expertise, I'd put my money on the samurai.
Why? Because steel, even if it is folded nippon garbage, is way better than bronze.
>>28528
One on one? Samurai.
In an actual battle? Legionaries.
What are some good YouTube vids about Nietzsche's influence on NAZISM? I'm tired of all of these left-wing shills pretending like his references to "the blond beast" were about lions.
"At the bottom of all these noble races we cannot fail to recognize the beast of prey, the blond beast splendidly roaming around in its lust for loot and victory."

Since you're obviously freely interpreting Nietzsche's "sick references" as opposed to objectively reading the true and unambiguous meaning of the text, why not consider Britain to be more appropriate to this allegory?
>that bear
eternal return confirmed
Nietzsche literally hated Germans, thought anti-semitism was stupid and never really talked about biological race.
He probably was a racist by modern standards (as were most people), and certainly there are allusions in his work to what might be theories of genetic superiority of some people over others, but there is really no reason to think that racial characteristics have any great significance in Nietzsche's work. If Nietzsche was writing today they might have featured more, but in the 19th century to the only 'alien' racial group that might have really...

Favourite Senators/Emperors?
Favourite battles/wars?
Can we make it a worst emperor's thread instead?
>>28448
Stilicho was kicking ass but of course honorius decided to be a retard
>>28415
>Favourite Emperors?
Augustus is the only real option for favourite. Others include Trajan and Aurelius.
>Favourite battles/wars?
Probably the Roman conquest of Greece, where you get to see Hoplites and the phalanx go up against the flexible Roman forces. It's a turning point in history.
An Egyptian priest told Herodotus that Helen (of Troy) was in fact living comfortably in Alexandria during the time of the war. Herodotus says he buys the idea because it doesn't make sense for Troy to not have given up some dumb bitch, basically, so the war became a pissing contest.
>>28345
>Herodotus says he buys the idea because it doesn't make sense for Troy to not have given up some dumb bitch
But it does when you realize that the Gods were the ones orchestrating the events. Paris only got Helen in the first place because of Aphrodite. I only say this because Herodotus was into all the mythological stuff.

>1000 BC

this board is shit
It's interesting seeing how the Greeks tried to reconcile mythology with fact.
Yall like Extra History?

The series is alot of fun. Never really cared for learning history till they branched away from game development subjects.
>>28296
I like it even though the crusader series was riddled with white guilt
>being a fan of this or the video games one
how
>>28296
I watched an hour long video by this dude about how spiritual aliens and magic stuff explains a bunch of human history of the last 10000~ years. The guy is a nutjob but I enjoyed the video.
Daily reminder that greek mythology is all a big lie. All the interesting parts like the Trojan War, all the heroes, all the stories are made up and greeks spent most of their time on their ass like they do now. Lazy, good for nothing, non-white scum the whole lot of them
>>28223
>mythology
>a lie
Holy shit really?
>>28277
type in "did the trojan war really happen" or "was *name of hero* a real person" or anything similar into google and you'll see that many many people don't know this

>mythology is a lie
Oh wow
Thanks retard
I really thought there was a giant minataur living in a maze and that a sea god controlled the waves
Thanks for clearing that up

We discuss unsolved mysteries surrounding structures of ancient civilizations which possibly predate everything we know.
I start:
>Göbekli Tepe is an archaeological site at the top of a mountain ridge in the Southeastern Anatolia Region of Turkey
>The tell includes two phases of ritual use dating back to the 10th-8th millennium BCE.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G%C3%B6bekli_Tepe
The newly discovered huge geoglyphs are really interesting:
Looks like a swastika

>>28194
What is it with ancient cultures and making large structures or changing the landscape to make figures visible from the air?
>>28564
A lot of them thought the gods were above them.
The Bisitun inscription by Darius the Great of Persia is built into a cliff-side and details how he opposed the deceivers who had tried to seize the throne previously, his language is clearly in line with Zoroastrian thinking about the constant competition between dark and good and how his triumph over the "liars" is part of it. It's huge, but it isn't meant for mortals to read.
How did a couple of Scandinavian barbarians manage to sail in an almost straight line back and forth between Greenland and Norway 500 years before anyone else could cross the Atlantic with any degree of accuracy?
From what I've read, the Vikings used magic rocks to guide their way. That can't be true, right?
Not magic rocks, sunstone.
>>28117
Also they weren't dumb barbarians. They were literate, experienced mariners with a long tradition of ship building and navigation.
It's not really surprising sinc they share ancestry with polynesian tribes whose sailing achievments are imho far greater
So what happens when we finish discussing all of history?
>>28031
WE FORGE OUR OWN HISTORY
SCRAWLED IN BLOOD
WRITTEN ON THE SKIN OF OUR SLAIN ENEMIES

We get Japan to turn all historical figures into cute girls.
We shitpost.
Or we could do it both at the same time.
What is the history of the epithet "the Great"?
Who was the first to have it applied to them?
Who gets to decide?
Which countries/periods in history have the most?
Cyrus the Great got it first, in Persian it was common. (just from googling it)
>>27966
Not exactly comprehensive though
>>27936
>Who gets to decide?
Propagandists.
