Are we ever going to figure out ancient history?
Seriously, there are so many dots that don't connect and almost everything that is not within the consensus is just dismissed or forgotten, specially when it comes to early migrations and the evolution of mankind?
Are these conventions delaying historical research?
what are you even talking about. your post is vague

Due to resarch in linguistics and genetics, we know pretty much exactly what happened.
Fuck Yes. Does /his/ agree?

Good is subjective, so that statement just further exemplifies that God is more likely than not simply the individual's psyche

Yeah, yeah

If I recall Paul's statement is referring to martyrdom cult that was part of early Christianity. There were a lot of early Christians that were actually trying to get themself killed so they would be saints.

Hey /his,
I literally know nothing about plague doctors or the black plague other than the name and time period.
Can someone tell me more about plague doctors, were they members of the catholic church or something? Why did they wear a mask shaped like a bird, I understand that they wore full body suits to avoid contact.
I'm really mainly interested in icons and symbols that plague doctors had and used, like the church has a cross and priests carry around a stave, did plague doctors carry around anything special?
Teaching history is not the same as discussing history.
Google it.
They did not really do much, considered a bad sign because they were everywhere the prescence of a plague would be. They were educated and did research on diseases, they seeked cures and wrote down facts.

Alain Decaux - historian and member of the Académie française - has died at 90. He wrote prolifically on French history beginning with his first book in 1947. Has anyone read his work? I've seen him mentioned, but haven't read him much directly.
>>896892
why don't you start by reading some of his books?
>>896895
Where should I start? He has about 80 of them.
I often hear in debate that Hitler wanted an alliance with the French and British rather than to go to war with, nonetheless bomb the shit out of them. One time I even read that Hitler didn't want war with France since he didn't want to fight his fellow "Germanic brethren." However I can't find any of these statements in literature or articles, and only seems to be heresay. Even one of my own best professors (and definitely the smartest dude I've ever met) said the same but he didn't source himself of course. Does anyone have any proof that...

well if Hitler actually wants the Germanic people united, as he did with the Nordic people and the Austrians, Dutch, Sudentlanders, it would only follow that he'd want the Anglos on his side.
Allied with the Croats
Feels slavic man

He didn't bomb the shit out of France to begin with. He even strengthened the status of the Breton minority.
Also see Hitler's peace of 1940.
How was life in the Portuguese Caliphate under the rule of alberto barbosa?
I read it that it was arround that time that the Spanish started sending their picardias to colonial America.
It was pretty good. Trade flourished, people multiplied and the literacy rate more than doubled from 0% to 0.01%. At the end it all began to go downhill though, when the ancestors of Modern Anglos began to raid the coast of the caliphate to kill as many Aryans and other nonanglos as possible.
>>896815
>It was pretty good
Not true at all.
Your statement is completely oriented to the point of view of the peasants and white slaves.
For the rich, there were severely high taxes and the meme industry hit a dead end arround year 1456, when the last archeological relics of the Finno-Ugric Ancient Empire's holdings in Colonial Iberia were destroyed by alberto barbosa's own orders.
I would like to put forward the idea that World War I was not really a world war, and the title of First World War is better attributed to the Seven Years' War. The Seven Years' War occurred on multiple continents, in multiple theaters of war, and involved most of the major powers of the era. World War I was almost entirely limited to Europe and the Mediterranean.

>World War I was almost entirely limited to Europe and the Mediterranean.
Maybe fair to leave out relatively minor ground battles in the far East but there were actions, as well as maritime interdiction.
You also leave out the African theatre.
>>896561
The 7 years war was a relatively 'soft' war.
The 30 yrs war would be the 'first world war'. It was much more ferocious and it also saw action around the globe.
Is the bible an accurate moral representation of God? If so, one could argue that such a being holds immoral values by evaluating it's actions throughout the text.
Therefore; would it not be considered untrue to claim that one does not need to disprove the existence of such a being to dispel the arguments of the mass-minded, but accept a being's reality and merely identify that it's morals are not parallel to those that are considered right and just?
When would you say the muslim world completely stagnated and became completely set in its ways?
>>917573
They were going fine in most places until about fifty years ago when the Islamists started running the show. They just need a reformation and things will be back to normal.
>>917573
Most likely around the time the Mongols sacked their cities and salted their lands.
That said, I believe the fact they refused to ever accept usury basically prevented their culture from ever developing.
The Christians got around it in the middle ages but having the Jews handle the government loans, but eventually they just got over usury and developed by leaps and bounds economically in the 1700's.
Ergo. No Muslim nation can ever develop economically because they will not have usury and...

In order for Muslims to reform to Western standards, they would need to stop being Muslims.
Or at least admit that the Quran is a nice story for children at bedtime but not moral guidance.
I'm mean Richard Dawkins is the best opponent of Islam (well he's anti-religion in general), but he correctly points out that even if you are a modern, the Quran specifically says that the punishment for Apostasy is death. Its not a mater of interpretation or reading between the lines.

Why does every person on this board have a pop knowledge of humanities at best?
How about you?
Because that's the price to pay for being part of an anonymous uzbek tree shredding collective.
Your credibility cannot come from anything But the content of your post and the way it is written, unlike most communities where you have an identifiable persona which gives you a pre-determined status and trustworthiness.
Every once in a while you get someone who actually knows what they're talking about, but unfortunately you are also knowledgeable on the suspect, you can't really know whether a poster has credibility or not.

Is anyone else sickened by this shit? It used to be debatable but reasonable. Attraction was one of 4 things, M+F, F+F, M+M M/F+M+F, and gender was either M or F. Even trans people were still like that, they were M or F, it's just that they needed to resynch that because of a mind/body disconnect and the debate was over which reality was in the right, mind or body.
Now we have quadromantic ferrosexual polygendered demibois. What the hell does this even mean? I asked a friend of mine who, after being tainted by tumblr decided she wasn't just a bisexual girl, which is reasonable, but a "panromantic akiosexual cisgendered female with the she/her pronouns." which is nonsense. Especially since most of the people who call themselves "pan-" anything really aren't because they still have some level of hang ups and I know open relationships and incest are off the table for her. Plus apparently "akiosexual" means she can be attracted to someone sexually but not actually want sex. How? Sexual attraction is all about sex. Fucking hell man.
did their roleplay hurt your sensibilities

Who gives a shit?
Has sex as an act always been as twisted as it is now? A lot of bdsm shit looks like it was inspired by medieval contraptions and im generally curious as to how human sex has gotten to the point it's at now. Surely there was something that pushed humans over the edge of having sex in the missionary position for the sole purpose of procreation.

Semen must've seemed pretty damn freaky to people 100+ years ago. You squirt a little bit of magic liquid up a girl's cooch, and bam, another human is manufactured. Very spoopy.
>>928681
Europeans thought it literally contained everything needed to make a child, and the woman just carried it
>>928681
There's been a lot written about semen in historical medical and spiritual texts, there were all kinds of weird theories about it, like it being some magical life essence. So yeah, people did find it spoopy.
Also, the connection between insemination and pregnancy was rarely understood as straightforwadly as it is today.

Hebrews - like all fun stuff- are pretty anal about it.

Do we all agree that there isn't an inherent meaning of life(other than to reproduce)?
>>928252
>other than to reproduce
[citation needed]
>>928252
No, but I'm sure we all agree that our perceptions of life differ wildly. It's interesting to see what kind of reality the people around me create for themselves.
