Who made them? The houses made have been made of mud, but Africans did not usually know how to make houses like this.

Aryans traveling down from Europe to build them and then returning. After all, as you said, Africans can't build houses.

Remake the fucking thread, shitter.
China's destiny in war is to get assraped.
I'm from Balkans, and I'm interested in Lebanese Civil War for obvious reasons. It appears to be similar to conflicts we had here.
Can you tell me more? Why did it last so long, for start?
What was Israeli role in it?

How objective are they, honestly?
We have Al Jazeera Balkans here, and they are far from objective. They have some cool shows though.
I love when someone has slightly faulty English and you can read their accent in their typing.
It's not a putdown, Yugobro, and I'm sorry I have nothing to say on the topic. Here's a bump to get someone else who does.
I've been looking into this and it's legit.
The advances in science and type of culture that was growing was like the Renaissance but 500 years earlier.
What ultimatly ended it though as religious fundamentalism. The Mu'tazilites and people like Avicenna were already discovering Empiricism. They were putting rationalism and investigation above faith. Avicenna for instance denied that miracles can happen because they are not consistent with a naturalistic universe.
The conservative religious folk starting feeling threatened and sought to remove...

it seems like Islamic golden age is a misnomer
and then it was an Arabic golden age considering like you said above the religious officials put down those kinds of ideas and set the Islamic world back who knows how long

Islamic fundamentalists hate Ash'arism and oppose al-Ghazali's teachings.
They follow Ibn Taymiyya, not al-Ghazali.
Also, Ash'arism is not anti-science. Science in the modern sense didn't exist at the time of al-Ghazali. It's anachronistic and foolish to conflate the non-empirical and mostly incorrect Aristotelian "natural philosophy" that al-Ghazali opposed with the scientific method.
Al-Ghazali barely even spoke on anything we would call science.

Lets talk about Colonial Africa
What happened culturally, technological, and politically during this period and how did the local populous react? How did people in the colonial cities fair? Did the European migrants take interest in African culture? Ignoring Belgian Congo, how were they treated?

I'd appreciate some insight into pre-UDI (Southern) Rhodesia

Ok, thats fine, but I hate how most threads about Africa are Pro-colonialist whining about how "the dirty revolutionary peasants" revolted against "the happy peaceful advanced ruling class" in Rhodesia
We get it, Something bad happened. What more is there to discuss?
What was combat like after the line volleys of the early colonial age, but before WWI? Such as the Crimiean and the Franco-Prussian Wars, did they experience the grusomeness of the First World War? don't imagine it would be all too fast, but not nearly as slow paced as the regimented firing line.

Good question. The general answer is that many armies were having their fighting formations change to a loose skirmisher type, where the attackers would advance with a primitive form of fire and movement, where a section would have one half lay down covering fire while prone while the other half rushed forward towards the enemy entrenchments. Once the entire group was close enough to make a rush to the enemy's position, they would complete the covered movement with a bayonet assault.
Of course, the details...

While (arguably) armies did sort out how to fight on battlefields dominated by black powder breechloaders, by the 1900s the emergence of smokeless powder presented a new challenge for tacticians right through the Great War, as shown in this graphic (1):

Did the one-handed flail ever exist?
Sure it did, theres one right there in your picture, OP
>>400947
I've only seen flails like this, as well as spike-ball flails used in two hands rather than one.
>>400970
Not the first guy, but one handed flails were usually a cavalry weapon, not an infantry one.
How powerful would Thailand be today if Ayuttaya was not destroyed in the Burmese invasion?

chinese refugees defined thailand and burma not ayuttaya

What.

I think he's referring to the Chinese Diaspora in Southeast Asia that essentially was and still remains the de facto ruling class. Heck even today Thailand's Monarchy is descended from the Chinese.

Morals and ethics are an illusion of Satan to lead man astray. They foster doubt in the validity and supreme authority of the word of the Lord and His laws. Many philosophers have attempted to use morals and ethics to disprove the Lord's benevolence. Like with science, Satan has enabled this by giving man the illusion he can understand ultimate truth, know more than the Omniscient. But the basis of science and morals and ethics is not knowledge, it is doubt, proving they are the work of Satan. Make no mistake, morals and ethics are humanistic in nature, an imperfect human...

That was a lot of words you just used to hide that you don't have a coherent response to the problem of induction, yet show you want to impose some random ontology (in this case religious) on others.
I live about 5 miles from Benfleet in Essex, UK where in 893CE Alfred the Great's army defeated a large viking fleet of around 200 ships.
Yet I never heard about this at all. Not in school, not from other locals. Never. Until I read about it in a Bernard Cornwall book and looked into it.

What historical events happened near you that never seem to be brought up or taught?
Henry Tudor stayed here on the way to Bosworth and probably met Stanley to discuss switching sides somewhere nearby as well.
One of the most important events in British history? Nah, tell them more about earthenware instead...

Local farmers killed the German Anti-king/Holy Roman emperor to be. Didn't realize who they killed at first but when they realized he was an important guy they quickly hid the corpse.

Any find the iron guard interesting? They were a mixture between national socialism and orthodoxy
I think both national socialism and orthodoxy are shit (especially orthodoxy) so I don't hold combination of the two in high regard.

They were also Christian for about 500 years.
Egypt, Rome, Sumer, Khmer, Majabahit, Tang, Mauryan, you name it.
I never really liked that kind of stuff, it just looks cheap and fake to me. I prefer stuff like this, since its using eclectic historic influences to create something new rather than just copying old structures.
