What does /his/ think of Parsis and Zoroastrians?
This might be due to its status as a minority religion but I like its simplicity. "Good thoughts, good deeds, good words", no bullshit sectarianism like in Islam or Christianity.
Immigrant Parsis are kinda dumb for not accepting converts tho, considering how it dates back to a deal they made with the king of Bombay.

Zurvanism is interesting. It was basically an attempt to rationalize the original Zoroastrian creation myth, and why both good and evil exist in the first place.
>The "classic" Zurvanite model of creation, preserved only by non-Zoroastrian sources, proceeds as follows: In the beginning, the great God Zurvan existed alone. Desiring offspring that would create 'heaven and hell and everything in between,' Zurvan sacrificed for a thousand years. Towards the end of this period, androgyne Zurvan began to doubt the efficacy of sacrifice...

How do you define ethnicity?
All of mankind traces its ancestors back to Noah's 3 sons.
Shem = semites
Ham = blacks
Japheth = euroasians

If it wasn't for perfidious Albion...
There is no such thing as a truly selfless act.
Whenever you commit some act of charity, you do so in order to give yourself some level of psychological satisfaction - to provide yourself with your own "happy ending". In this sense all of human nature is based on an irresistible urge to benefit the self. Even Suicide is a selfish act; when the japanese suicide bombers of World War II steered their planes into american ships they were not truly doing it for the emperors glory, but to satisfy their own desire to have lived a worthy life in the eyes of their peers. Pure greed.

What went wrong /his/? How did Europe allow this to happen? Why didn't Bulgaria just walk in and take Instanbul?
>>573080
The Anglos might give the Turks a few slaps every now and then, but they will never take care of the problem. Why? Not only would the Arabs have self-rule, but Russia and Persia would put the area under their influence. Think of the fame Russia would have if they took back Constantinople.
Britain is essentially the kid with all the toys who cries when kids get other toys. As such, Britain keeps the Turks in power to insure that Russia and other countries don't disrupt the balance of power. Genocide and tyranny...

That's what always happens with wars like these. People rally up, get highly motivated and push back.
A lot of people really underestimate the feeling of "no turning back, nothing to lose" and how excellent of a call to arms it is.

What are the Semitic languages? Are they all descended from proto-Jews?
>>573050
yes
>What are the Semitic languages?
A family of languages in the middle east, north africa, and the horn of africa
>Are they all descended from proto-Jews?
No, idiot
Are Indo-Europeans descended from proto-mormons?
>>573050
Semitic languages are languages spoken by Semites, a racial group to which Jews among others including the Arabs as well as the ancient Babylonians, Assyrians, and Phoenicians belong
Were Victorian Brits as prudish as the stereotype suggests?
Was there an increase or decrease in prudishness and rules of etiquette compared to previous era?
Any interesting titbits about the formality and manners of Victorian Britain?
Queen Victoria herself was a sex maniac (it's why she had so many children) and very loud in bed with prince Albert. I remember reading that at least one palace had the royal bedroom soundproofed because of the fact.
>>572905
>Were Victorian Brits as prudish as the stereotype suggests?
nope
the "heights" of prudishness were very high indeed, true
at the same time it is an era of an absolutely MASSIVE boom in pornography

So we've had /his/ for a while now. This is my first post on this board, I was giving it a few months so all the memers and retards from /pol/ would go away.
What's the verdict on /his/ so far? Any intelligent discussion to be found?
I love the economics and political conversations everyone has. They are incredible.
Not sooo much the Historical threads, but I'll pop in a WWII discussion every now and then.
>>572826
It needs less religion and atheism threads and tards
>create /rel/ see >>571958
Too much religion shit. I'd be fine if they discussed actual theology or some sort of relation between a sect/religion on history but they don't. It's always moronic baiting and petty arguments.
How do we restore the Christianity in an age that is slowly falling away from religion?
Aside from church doctrines and corrupted organizations, how do we help people understand the importance of Jesus in the New Testament?
Is it possible that Christianity could restore it's root of deep spiritual practice rather than Orthodox church rituals? I like church sometimes, but it's important to meditate on God more than it is to say "I went to church today"..
Also, how to convert people without telling them they are going to hell and your doing...

ITT: Best Youtube history channels
It's awesome if you are into Catholic dinduism.
The guy that owns the channel fights really hard to combat his autism but sometimes it just spills out. His assasins creed video and the comments were cringe worthy.
Historically he just pushes catholic dinduism by manipulating the evidence, hiding the ones that do not support his argument, relating stuff that have no evidence of relation at all just to prove his point, citing scholars while ignoring the counter arguments or even a consensus refutation against them. etc etc.
Its pointless to argue though,...

I don't find Catholic bias inherently worse than secularist bias. The latter is pervasive, after all.
Whatever you think of his videos, he cites his sources and encourages viewers to read Crusades experts like Riley-Smith and Madden to form your own views.

The idea of this channel is pretty cool.
how did the greeks even lost the greco-turkish war in 1919? they got the support of the entire allies while they were up against a partitioned country who just lost 1.5 million in ww1, with constant rebellion and are at war with the french in the south
Lenin, among other things.
>>572434
1) Greeks got greedy
2) Greek allied support is largely moral & material. France and Britain are tired of war that it left Greece to it and cheered them from the sidelines.
3) The officer corps of Turkey actually survived WWI. Greece was up against WWI Vets.
