What is the greatest invention of all time and why is it the Internet?

Paper, followed by the pen.
Sup /his/? I'm pretty excited to see a board dedicated to history. Anyway, I've always had a fascination with ocean liners, sparked when I saw Titanic back in 1997 when I was only 7. I'm now an Architectural Designer.
Anyway, I was looking at the floor plans and saw that many of the rooms for 3rd class were pretty awkward. Based on the attached image, which shows the E-Deck, to the left you can see the stern. The 3rd class rooms located on the edge of the ship look awful, since you have the slanted profile of the stern making for a leaned wall, if I'm interpreting correctly.
Does anyone know if any pictures exist for either Titanic or more likely, Olympic exist of those rooms in question?
>>49655
for a good idea of how weird those rooms in question might have been, the deck painted in white above 'Titanic Liverpool' is 'C' Deck, below that 'D' Deck, and then 'E' Deck, which you can see is slanted. How did those rooms work then in terms of habitability?
Upon looking at the floor plans, many first class staterooms also had awkward layouts as seen in the OP. Those rooms colored in blue have these tentacle-like layouts that let the room have access to a porthole, but what can you put in that corridor to make it usable? A desk?
I would also like to know if any pics exist.

How could such a large population of people be enslaved by such a small group?
It wasn't the slave traders that initially enslaved the African slaves, it was other African tribes that enslaved them through conquest.
I don't think Africa even had that large of a population during those times. Go away /pol/
guns, intellegence
How did this happen? Why was some cunt one day able to say that he is a god and above everyone else, and everyone else has to worship him and also all his descendants forever? Why was this able to happen almost EVERYWHERE?
How did it start, how did it develop, what were the actually mechanical processes and why did people accept it and how long did it take for people to accept it?
>>48798
Engels. Family, Private Property & The State.
Kropotkin. Mutual Aid. (skip the animal chapters).
Yes these are horrifically outdated. They're still a good jumping off point.

I think it starts with a heroic and/or wealthy person who inspires/pays for followers, then people buy into the hype and generational decay takes hold.

How did the Land of the Rising Sun turn into one of the most 'weirdest' countries in the 21st century?
>>48779
It was always pretty weird. It's a large isolated island country with a pretty unforgiving terrain.
United States told them they couldn't have an army. The army has always been the top dog in Japanese culture. Once the army was out of the way, the merchant class, which for all of Japan's life has been the absolute lowest class, decided to take over as they were no longer oppressed by the army and had the most money.
No moral barriers like in case of Christians or Muslims.
If the Muslim conquests had not cut off Ethiopia from Christian Europe, would Ethiopia have seen more success?
Well considering that Ethiopia was spared the Christian Dark Age and profited from trade with China and Japan, I'd say it was far more successful under Muslim rule than European influence.
>>48747
Ethiopia never was under Muslim rule. It was isolated by the Muslims conquering everything north of it. And the Red sea.
>>48903
wasn't it a part of the abyssinian kingdom ? they willingly joined islam, hence the prophet's companions first migrated to meet the fair king of abyssinia and he approved of the prophet.
Who else here is fascinated by Altaic languages and their relationship? Also ties in with Turkic/Mongolic/Tungus history.
Mongol language is manly as fuck. True warrior language, gay shit like Jap speech can't even compare

Funnily enough japanese is influenced by Turkic very slightly.

This book was very interesting and revealed many things about the mongolian language and it's relation with other Altaic languages

I fucking love this board. What are the criteria for making sure it stays once the trial period ends?
Also, how far back was humanity sent when the library in Alexandria was destroyed?
>>48432
Probably not much at all, seeing how most of the scrolls were rotting and nobody bothered to preserve them.
>>48432
There are trial periods to boards?
Judging by how many idiotic /pol/tards infested it from day one and /his/ is another containment board I doubt it will stay for long.
Thirty Years War thread
Is there a more interesting point in history than this clusterfuck? It has everything going for it in terms of like a television series, a massive turning point in history, a bright and colorful aesthetic, gore and debauchery, ridiculous circumstances, why does it seem so rarely touched upon?
