What's your question, OP?
>>290172
Their shit got fucked up.
Post fake archaeology
Why were people in the 15th century about as good at drawing as a first grader?
>>290103
That's a very succinct way of describing original sin
Lack of good materials, lack of good tutors, most artsy people of the period preferred architecture and sculpting
>>290122
THE "ORIGINAL SIN" IS SUPPOSED TO BE THE "EATING FROM THE TREE OF KNOWLEDGE" BY "ADAM", AND "EVE", NOT "ABEL'S" MURDER.
Why did the french take the rooster as a national animal?
I know the story about gallus in Latin meaning both rooster and Gaulish but it's not a flattering animal.
>>290090
It's more original than the griffons/lions/birds. Though I think a horse would have been cooler (being famous for their cavalry charges)
>>290090
>loud, annoying, won't ever shut up, does what it wants even if everything including reasons says it's a bad idea
It's perfect though.
Now you tell me how the lion (lazy animal that does nothing aside from fucking and eating while the females go get food for him) is a better symbol.
>>290090
Roosters are vicious, dude. They also prance around with their chests huffed to show dominance, and can be extremely aggressive.
So I forgot my textbook at my house and I'm currently sitting at my college frantically watching videos and reading up all I can on the European crusades into the Islamic middle east.
I'm not asking for an hour out of your day, just something that briefly describes what went down with a military focus (so tactics, weapons, troops, etc).
Don't know what I need to provide in return for a response, but OP will try his best to deliver.
Perhaps dubs decides?
Also general crusade thread I guess
>>290083
Muslim generals were intruding into Byzantium, the Emperor asked for assistance, the Pope called for a military campaign to assist the Byzantines by creating a buffer state in the Holy Land, and then it became a concentrated campaign for Christendom to hold the Holy Land after they initially conquered it, leading to a series of campaigns against Muslims.

The First Crusade
The call to arms was issued by Pope Urban II. It was not an organized matter - many feudal lords decided to take up the call individually of each other. There were many small bodies of armies, but eventually it boiled down to these three main forces:
Godfrey of Bouillone
Raymond of Toulouse
Bohemond of Taranto
These three nobles were both allies and rivals. Raymond was the leading candidate and considered the most...

Godfrey and Raymond continued on with a decimated force since the powerful Normans had left them. They eventually reached Jerusalem, besieged it and - I think you know the rest...
Why has capital punishment continued to be a contreversial issue?
>>290030
BECAUSE DEATH IS STILL VIRTUALLY UNIVERSALLY "TABOO" DUE TO MOST PERSONS BEING INSTINCTIVELY AFRAID OF DEATH BECAUSE THEY DO NOT COMPREHEND LIFE; THIS IS SO ONLY IN SOCIETIES COMPRISED OF CONSCIOUS PERSONS; IN SOCIETIES COMPRISED OF UNCONSCIOUS PERSONS; EXEMPLUM GRATIA: WITH AMAZONIAN TRIBES, FEAR OF DEATH IS VIRTUALLY NONEXISTENT, BECAUSE THERE IS NO CONCEPT OF "LIFE" AS THERE IS IN CONSCIOUS CIVILIZATIONS.
Because it became obsolete with a prison system as advanced and extensive as what we have today. Why would we still kill people? For spite?
>>290074
Some crimes are so outrageous that society insists on adequate punishment, because the wrongdoer deserves it, irrespective of whether it is a deterrent or not
Why didn't they just execute him?
Would they execute him?
>>290000
because he got quads or because they were afraid it would set a precedent if they lost the next war?
>>290000
Probably afraid they'd turn him into a martyr. It's not like it wasn't an option though. Part of the reason Napoleon surrendered to the British was because Blucher wanted him executed.
who is the best youtube historian and why is it Indy Neidell?

Did he do anything wrong?

Yes. He did everything wrong. His incompetence and insanity stretches a lot farther that just bankrupting Albania by building bunkers everywhere.

Let's discuss: Louis XIV, great king or overrated king?
>>289526
I thought his extravagant spending was part of the reason the French Revolution was started?
>>289539
No, it was the July Revolution of 1848.
Greatest king.
Militarily, he made France the most feared power in Europe, bringing Spain, England and the Netherlands to their knees.
This was helped by hiring amazing military talent - Condé, Vauban, Turenne, Tallard, Louvois, etc.. Nigga revolutionized siege tactics and created the first national uniform.
Culturally, his rule allowed Molière, Racine, Corneille, La Fontaine, Descartes and Pascal to flourish.
Economically, he hired Colbert, who was considered one of the brightest economists of his time.
Fashion-wise, nigga's an icon.
All throughout history -hundreds of years of intellectuals- not a single one argument has been made in favor of exploiting animals. In fact, the environment, ethics, and (arguably) health, all point to the contrary. Those who get offensive about this topic simply are avoiding the truth. This is not comparable to religion, this is not comparable to politics, this isn't a matter of choosing red or blue, it's simply a matter of facts, that the only consequent behavior for someone who doesn't want to inflict pain in others (which I believe is accurate for most human...

Wrong. Jesus Christ, aka, GOD, made men and created animals for men.

>not a single one argument has been made in favor of exploiting animals
Because it's pretty self evident. Having a beast of burden to pull shit around is damn useful, as is having a bunch of birds that give you food every day from eating worms and shit, or a cow that gives you liquid food every day that also pulls shit around and will feed you for a month when it dies. In modern times it gets more questionable, but taste and profit justify it inna practical, if not a moral context.
Are there any examples of movements considered bigoted and evil by contemporary standards that used the "right side of history" argument?

I don't know how far political correctness can go to change the fucking calendar.
In french it is "Avant Jésus-Christ" and "Après Jésus-Christ" and no one gives a damn, not even muslims or jews.
