>Main characters have magic plot armor like in the movies

Great was a title used by all Persian kings, even Darius III who got btfo by the same guy who took the title when he became king of Persia.

It's the same idea with Shahanshah and the last Shah. What other kings was he king of? It's just a title.

tl;dr Fuck off John Green

There was only one great, its not a coincidence every one else stealing that title was a loser I could take in a fight with bad government policy

the Word of God is not a metaphor. why do you people still buy into NASA's lies that the world is round?

That view of the cosmos is still perfectly valid if you think of the "world" as being this entire level of reality. The ancient Jews, like the ancient Norse, viewed their 'world' as being their own concrete land because their imaginations didn't extend further. They were right about the categories, they just got the scope and scale of those categories wrong.

>he thinks the world is flat

Clearly OP's image indicates it IS round, it's just that the land is flat. When will flatearthers give it up and admit we're surrounded by firmamental waters?

>If Hitler only listened to his generals he would have won the war

I can't beleive people post that shit

A rudimentary reading into WWII will show you that most of Hitlers tactical decisions with the exception of attacking Russia and then Stalingrad, were pretty sound.

>>1288738
and it was actual the generals who ignored the logisticians and tried to invade russia in the first place lmao

Yes it is, but is also just so happens that sometimes those men who involve themselves in shit like that happen to hold power in some way. People with power grouped together are always planning and plotting shit.

It's not necessarily them who control the world, but rather the uber powerful and hyper rich who conglomerate with others like themselves.

It's a philosophical and scientific research organisation, but due to a huge influx of shitty members post-WW2, it's largely an alms-giving group. But there are still good lodges out there true to the purpose.

Aren't they just a long-running worker's guild for stone masons or something? All the secrecy and odd rituals don't really mean anything.

The original meme president.

Not because of his achievements or lack thereof, but because he was obssessed with his dick.

I actually don't believe he was a racist. While he used very racially charged language, he was white trash from Texas. It was just the way he talked.

I don't know why people on here will shit on Johnson. For some reason they think he was a proto-SJW, when in reality he was a raging misogynist with a massive dick obsession. I admire him not just for realizing that endemic poverty is the cause of the majority of society's ills but also for his brilliant political maneuvering. Even if you hate him,...

Well, it didn't really have an application at the time.

Slave labour was cheap and plentiful.

>>1288412
Is that the only reason or are there others? I'm also not saying that this isn't a good reason, but just curious if there were other factors.

In order for steam power to be reliable for large scale mechanics (such as transportation, mechanised industry etc.) you need very VERY high pressure boilers and pistons. This necessitates the ability to produce high quality wrought iron in very large quantities, something that was not really possible before the 18th century. Without the metals and metalworking technology needed to make use of it, primitive steam power couldn't be anything more than a curiosity, as it wouldn't produce enough energy to drive...

That is one lazy fucking map considering the Romans knew damn well where to place the Hadrian and Antonine walls by determining the thinnest part of Britain with accuracy.

But you gotta be fucking kidding me about southern Italy though. That there has simply NO excuse to fuck up, while getting southern Greece somewhat correct.

First map to show the Americas as a separate continent from Asia (1507)

Why were the Chinese so hated in America during the 19th century /his/?

Typical fear of foreign influence trope which led to the entire treasure fleet getting scuttled.

It wasn't just the chinese. It was anyone who wasn't Anglo-Saxon.

Do you have any source to back up your claims?
Also, Muslims do not believe in Muhammad, they believe in his message.

If you start to look in any direction with abrahamics you're always gonna' see a spiderweb of this sort of thing.

[muslims moaning and children sobbing]

Is this intentionally in the style of that "Alexander the >great" guy?

And the children's crusade was most likely a myth.
The Old German word for child and beggar (Or something like that) had the same meaning so people would later mistake it for being a crusade of children.

Even if it were beggars and not kids the idea of walking into the mediterranian sea at Marseille and be able step right to Jerusalem is pretty hilarious
