So did we ever figure out if Alexander the great was Greek or is Macedonian?
His dynasty was Greek, as was established when one of his forefathers wanted to compete in the Olympics and had to prove Greek decent.
>>297310
It's the same thing.
>>297321
He a is Macedonian. The Greeks considered them barbarians.

Did Nietzsche utterly demolish Christianity with his smackdown?
>Christianity destroyed for us the whole harvest of ancient civilization, and later it also destroyed for us the whole harvest of Mohammedan civilization. The wonderful culture of the Moors in Spain, which was fundamentally nearer to us and appealed more to our senses and tastes than that of Rome and Greece, was trampled down (—I do not say by what sort of feet—) Why? Because it had to thank noble and manly instincts for its origin—because it said yes to life, even to the rare and refined luxuriousness of Moorish life!... The crusaders later made war on something before which it would have been more fitting for them to have grovelled in the dust—a civilization beside which even that of our nineteenth century seems very poor and very “senile.”—What they wanted, of course, was booty: the orient was rich.... Let us put aside our prejudices! The crusades were a higher form of piracy, nothing more! The German nobility, which is fundamentally a Viking nobility, was in its element there: the church knew only too well how the German nobility was to be won.... The German noble, always the “Swiss guard” of the church, always in the service of every bad instinct of the church—but well paid.... Consider the fact that it is precisely the aid of German swords and German blood and valour that has enabled the church to carry through its war to the death upon everything noble on earth!
No. He fundamentally misses the central question (is it true.)
Also, lol 19th century historiagraphy.
>Crusaders were motivated by plunder
>German nobility are 'Vikings'
>Moorish decadence
At least Nietzsche can rest happy knowing Germany is now getting the harvest of Mohammedan civilization.
>Islam, which originated among the Semitic races also consisted of the Law and Tradition, regarded as a formative force, to which the Arab stocks of the origins provided a purer and nobler human material that was shaped by a warrior spirit. The Islamic law (shariah) is a divine law; its foundation, the Koran, is thought of as God’s very own word (kalam Allah) as well as a nonhuman work and an 'uncreated book' that exists in heaven ab eterno.
> Islam presents a traditional completeness, since the shariah and the sunna, that is, the exoteric law and tradition, have their complement not in a vague mysticism, but in full-fledged initiatory organisations (turuq) that are characterised by an esoteric teaching (tawil) and by the metaphysical doctrine of the Supreme Identity (tawhid). In these organizations, and in general in the shia, the recurrent notions of the masum, of the double prerogative of the isma (doctrinal infallibility), and of the impossibility of being stained by any sin (which is the prerogative of the leaders, the visible and invisible Imams and, the mujtahid) lead back to the line of an unbroken race shaped by a tradition at a higher level than both Judaism and the religious beliefs that conquered the West
>It is a great shame for any one to listen to the accusation that Islaam is a lie and that Muhammad was a fabricator and a deceiver. We saw that he remained steadfast upon his principles, with firm determination; kind and generous, compassionate, pious, virtuous, with real manhood, hardworking and sincere. Besides all these qualities, he was lenient with others, tolerant, kind, cheerful and praiseworthy and perhaps he would joke and tease his companions. He was just, truthful, smart, pure, magnanimous and present-minded; his face was radiant as if he had lights within him to illuminate the darkest of nights; he was a great man by nature who was not educated in a school nor nurtured by a teacher as he was not in need of any of this.
Let's talk about the reeeaaally old shit guys.
I've got a particular interest in Indus Valley and Sumerian civilizations (picrelated) from the chalcolithic age and back, but anything up to the Bronze age is fair game. I'll start by gushing about one of my all-time favorite cities.
I'm pretty sure Sumeria and the IVC were both Bronze Age, not Chalcolithic.
Is it true that the Indus Valley lacked warfare?
>>297069
I've heard from Egyptologists that the population of the entirety of Egypt in 3500BC was 4,000 people.
Cities in the Middle East had more people.

If they're not meant to be taken literally, than what's the difference between the Bible and the Illiad?

One is a book involving a dead religion, the other is a book involving a thriving religion.
You don't think people in Ancient Greece thought the oral tradition of the Iliad and all those gods and goddesses were real?
A human can produce about 50-100 watts of motive energy.
Fire allows the energy in wood to be used for light, heat and the processing of food
Agriculture allows for a society to convert more solar energy to calories per square meter of land and lets them begin the building of citie
Beasts of burden allow humans to carry greater loads overland, wheeled vehicles enhance said capacity
Sails allows large cargos to be moved comparatively easily by utilizing wind power
Water wheels and windmills allow wind and water to be used for a variety of industrial applications in substitute for human muscle (turning a huge millstone rather than relying on handmills)
Steam power allows fire to be put to industrial purposes on a regular basis without being dependant on rivers or wind conditions
Electricity allows an easy means of transfering energy over long distances and putting it to use
Computerization and robotics allows complex processes to be done with minimal human involvement
The important fact about a civilization is how good is it at utilizing energy. Everything else is squabbling over pennies.
>>296849
This is also why guns replaced all those swords and shit.
>>296849
As a physicist I strongly agree with this statement. Keeping track of energy is like all we do.

How much cultural capital do undergraduate degrees in English, Philosophy, or History yield?
>>296752
The degree itself is absolutely worthless; don't expect people to be impressed when you bring up your philosophy degree.
However if you are not a total autist, you can learn some very useful things from those fields and they are worth studying.
>>296778
>Absolutely worthless
Not completely. I wouldn't have gotten a job as a technical writer without my English degree. I also wouldn't have been eligible for my advanced diploma in human resource management.
>>296752
Less than or equal to the financial capital used to attain it.
At one point Adam and Eve were the only humans on earth. So why is everyone on earth not a Jew?
Where did all the other peoples with which the chosen people fought come from?

Because the jews start with Abraham, not Adam and Eve.

Is political philosophy alive today in the west? Did it survive the barrage of sociology, economics and feel-good individualism? Can the good regime and the good life still be the subject of discussion in today's democratic countries, or are we destined to wallow in "the joyless quest for joy"?
>>296622
Who is that supposed to be?
>>296628
Leo Strauss
>>296622
>Can the good regime and the good life still be the subject of discussion in today's democratic countries, or are we destined to wallow in "the joyless quest for joy"?
Sure, though we'd have to be accept that that kind of inquiry is unlikely to become especially popular. Plato and Aristotle were, after all, among the only people inquiring in that way, and it was only surface teachings of theirs that became popular subsequent to them.
What's the likelihood that the Japanese imperial line was originally Korean?
>>296612
pretty good actually, or at least was married into by
Although, define korea
>>296612
almost certain, considering the extent of the korean empire at its height
Didn't the Japanese as a whole mostly from come from Korea, or at least China, fairly recently (500 BC or so)?
Anyway, Koreans had a huge impact in early Japan but I'm pretty sure the imperial line is indigenous (at least as much as the native population is). At least there's no evidence for some kind of ancient Korean invasion or anything like that. I don't really see any reason to think the dynasty didn't develop from some native chiefdom.
Hey /his/ is there Any good books on the White Russian Movement, The Cossack's or the Russian Liberation Army? Also White Russia General

>russians

sorry, couldnt help myself
any good book about based Bloody Baron?
>>296523
I’d just like to interject for a moment. What everyone is referring to as Russia, is in fact, Mongolia, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, Lesser Mongolia. Russia is not a country unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning Mongolian Empire made useful by the Mongols, the Great Khan and the Mongolian Army comprising a full country as defined by the League of Asians.
Many countries exist as a modified part of the Mongolian empire every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the part of Mongolian empire which is widely discussed today is often called “Russia”, and many of its citizens are not aware that it is basically the part of Mongolian empire, developed by the world revolution.
There really is a Russia, and these people are living in it, but it is just a part of the country they live in. Russia is the local government: the government in the system that creates the state-specific legislation. The local government is an essential part of a country, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete country. Russia is normally thought of in combination with the Mongol empire: the whole system is basically Mongolian empire with Russia included, or Mongolian empire/Russia. All the so-called “Russia” versions are really distortions of Mongolian empire/Russia.

is there anything more pathetic than vikingboos? When confronted with these facts they always resort to memes and insults or saying ''but they were cool'' as if being a failure was admirable.
Large parts of England and Ireland were conquered by the Vikings though. In fact several English kings were from Scandinavia.
>Hedeby burnt by Slavs
>muh master race
LMAO
>>296531
Hence why vikingboos even exist. They endlessly romanticize vikings despite them being little more than barbarians and at the best of times traders.
