what happened to the ancient egyptians.

Redpill me on the Sassanids, /his/.
After centuries of Hellenistic and then Parthian rule, did they just pop up and say "actually we're Persians, fuck off"? Where did the Sassanid dynasty originate?

>Implying 'redpill me on...' isn't now just another way of saying 'tell me about'
>>1253773
What do you want to know apart from the origins? It's a very broad subject.
Anyway, the Sassanid dynasty was founded in theory by a dude called Sasan (I will talk more about him below) but actually the first semi-relevant Sassanid is Papak who may or may not be Sasan's son depending on who you read.
Papak and his son Ardashir were persian local potentates who revolted against the ruler of Pars, who was a vassal of the Arsacid ruler. Papak killed and usurped this ruler of Pars. With the death...

Got into desert, untouched by man - feast for days - purify your mind and soul and ask God.
Or simply go with Orthodoxy.
>>1253164
You hinting on that Orthodoxy would be the outcome after such a spiritual pilgrimage?
>>1253168
It's the outcome of Jesus Christ - God in human flesh together with Holy Spirit that's still present today and can speak with you not in desert - but in Church.
With the baptism, you get the armor of Holy Spirit on you - while still on earth your soul becomes angel like in human flesh.
But yeah there's also lots of mysticism in orthodoxy and lots of miracles - many actually, still today - mainly because of the Holy Spirit.
And because role of Church on earth is to prepare souls...

Did people from Ancient Greece actually believe Zeus was real the same way modern Christians believe in a Christian God?
>>1250056
Why do you say God is a Christian?
>>1250056
I don't have historical evidence to support this, but given how much time they spent on their mythology, it's probably not unreasonable to think that it wasn't mythology to them. But there's also no reason to think that they were deluded enough to create deities and then believe these deities existed on their own.
>>1250070
So you're saying Christians can believe in a non-Christian God?

>The overall conclusion reached is that the United States most likely has been responsible since WWII for the deaths of between 20 and 30 million people in wars and conflicts scattered over the world.

Let us commemorate the millions of people who have been murdered by the evil American homo empire. From Serbia to Iraq, from Asian to Europe.
Let us hope that the US, after this election, will become like Syria.

Well yes, if you do things like count the number of Chinese soldiers killed in the Korean war, things are going to get bloody.
This is the essential problem with ethics based on pure utilitarianism. I for one don't see anything wrong with killing soldiers of an invading nation in an attempt to help out your ally. If those are the sorts of deaths that the U.S. is responsible for, good.

Why even live?
Must have been awful. The heat, the mosquitoes and that smell of stagnant water from the brackish lake Mareotis mixing with smell of the salt of the sea.
Sounds ripe for dehydration and disease and general discomfort.
Nah, I'd prefer somewhere nice like Constantinople.

Fourth Reich when?
The dude who graduated #1 in Eisenhower's and Bradley's class only became a two star general who was in charge of fuel.
The guys who graduated 2nd to 5th in the class never made the rank of general
Where did it go wrong for them?
>>1260165
Tell me who did make it the top and what place they were in classes and then we'll talk.
>>1260165
Getting good grades isn't a leadership quality.

Eisenhower was 61st in his class
What the fuck was his problem?
His entourage
