Who lives out here? Slavic russians? Mongols?
Mostly crab people last I heard
>>1122426
Is that why this site is a Siberian Crab-Fishing forum???

Mostly turks. There is some russians near the border and in kamctha and there's some native siberians living further up north.
For the average person, all our problems date to WWII; for the more informed to WWI; for the genuine historian, to the French revolution.
To the enlightement.

>Now, why are there no proper university studies about these mummies?
Because they've become irrevocably tied to the "ancient aliens" conspiracy theorists, and getting involved in researching them is a great way for a young anthropologist to have his career ruined in the eyes of the academic establishment.
It's a bit like how relatively little attention has been paid to studying the historical Aryans or the origin of the races after WWII. Once you get a negative...

What was the average Nazi soldier like? Were they brainwashed zealots that slaughtered Jews and had fun doing it like media like to portray them as?
Other than the SS there was no such thing as "nazi soldier". Just German soldiers. And yes they were people just like you and me.

Pretty much.

Yes.

How the Christians came into the concept of Trinity? It's literally nowhere in the Bible.

It's a way to reconcile the polytheist influence of Christianity with the Jewish tradition
What went wrong, /his/tory buffs? Are they victims of circumstance or doomed from the start? Input? Pic unrelated
Between 90 and 95% died from the spread of disease caused by first contact with Europeans. Everything that followed was simply the aftermath.
They got completely raped by the diseases carried from the Old World, literally 80 to 90% of their population went extinct thanks to plagues. That's some post-apocalyptic movie tier shit, even Black Death was nowhere near that brutal, killing about 40% of Europe.
>>1121597
How about the present circumstances? Alcoholism, drug abuse, crime, unemployment, is it common for groups of people who get btfo like that to fall into that sort of stuff?
How come people don't talk about these empires?
oh boy i'm sure this thread will have a very very high level of discourse golly gee whizz

This map is weird. Usually empire regional maps have like borders and explanations for what existed everywhere and shit. Look at a map of Europe at this time and everything will be "claimed".
Here it's all just barren save a few small kingdoms. Is central/southern Africa really this empty?

hunter gatherers, no dif than a map of the roman empire with a big bunch of nothing above it in germany
i find makuria really interesting
Does it irritate anyone else when plebs insist that Hitler was the greatest leader and military mind of Germany?
>>1126010
Does anyone over the age of 12 really insist that?
>>1126014
I guess you'd be surprised
>>1126010
If anything people vastly underestimate Hitler's military capabilities.

I would like to ask atheists, do you consider humans ontologically the same as fruit flies? Do you consider "human rights" to be just about protecting an in-group, and no less arbitrary than rights for particular races over others?
Roman Catholics, did you hear that Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI said Vatican II was a mistake?

Please can you take this to one of the 3 existing Catholic threads?

No, because I'm Orthodox.

>Roman Catholics, did you hear that Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI said Vatican II was a mistake?
He didn't say that Vatican II was a mistake, he said that the post-Vatican II often got wishy-washy. I'm not going to deny that things got worse for the Catholic church after the 1960s.

>Is this a constant with new religions?
No, it's an Abrahamic thing. The kikes genocided every non-kike they could find when they first adopted jehova-worship, the christards did the same and the mudscums have followed in their wake. I suspect it has something to do with the total lack of morality in these religions, where blind obedience to an arbitrary set of rules takes the place of genuine moral reasoning, allowing people to commit even the most horrific crimes with a clean conscience.
You have a point.
Not trying to defend that behaviour, but doesnt those laws and texts explicitely give them a moral or ethical code?
What happens with other religions that also have a written set of rules like Taoism and their Tao te Ching. Taoist although lax in some aspect, were (if any taoist survive) extremely moral people.
Also confucians had a rigid strict set of codes and moral customs.
Then, where is morality coded on classic religion? We know we have written examples on texts but who gave them the absolute authority?
>>1122419
Are you saying Christians are Jews?
We all know Joseph Smith and L. Ron Hubbard were.
But what about Muhammad, Yeshua, Mosheph, and Siddhartha?
Were they trying to create cults? subcultures? Religions? Were these distinct concepts to them? Did they think they had a chance in hell, or were they just bored men?
I think the motivations of the historical central figures of the major religions is far more interesting than the resulting Faith(s).
Muhammad just wanted to be deified and rule the world
>>1119844
Have you ever read the quran
When you read the Quran, it is immediately obvious Muhammad was trying to fix all the "problems" he saw in Christianity and Judaism. Islam is not so much its own religion as a toolbox to be applied to existing religions.

>Tyson has spoken about philosophy on numerous occasions. In March 2014, during an episode of the Nerdist Podcast, he stated that philosophy is "useless" and that a philosophy major "can really mess you up"
>Tyson has argued that many great historical scientists' belief in intelligent design limited their scientific inquiries, to the detriment of the advance of scientific knowledge
What is it with the smugness of guys like Tyson, Harris, and Dawkins? Why are they so sure that there is no god?
But anon getting a philosophy major really can mess you up
All them student loans and no way to pay them off
My old history professor once said that the only thing more useless than a history major is a philosophy major, can't really say he's wrong.

All philosophy did was make me doubt whether I am actually typing on this keyboard tbhfamilia
