What were drugs that soldiers and warriors used in the past to help them fight or deal with combat? I know modern soldiers use amphetamines but what about in the eras before that?
>>1042107
Only physically, and/or mentally unstable persons with weak spirit need to consume drugs to "cope with warfare".
If you need drugs to cope with warfare, you are not a warrior and shouldn't be fighting.
>>1042107
Likely something used by Germanic Berserkers for their Berserkergang
Hashish was used by Arabic Assassins, name hints this beiong obvious. It was said it was used during "banzai" missions, legend said they were shown Paradise pleasures by the Grandmaster tho as part of recruitation
I heard Ayahuasca could have been used by Mesoamerican Chilvalry (Jaguar/Eagle, etc), or at least to see those "Golden Cities" like El Dorado.
Hope I have helped. I am genuinely curious aswell.

Lots of soldiers were conscripted. And constant warfare is stressful for anyone. And drugs always give you an improvement, why do you think top athletes do steroids. Even

Modernist and contemporary architecture is based on something Adolf Loos proclaimed in 1910. The Bauhaus movement started in 1919. International Style was first showed in 1932.
Is it time for a change from all that modern-simple-minimalist-deconstructivist style?
Is there a way to make new buildings with the same level of decoration and perfection as the ones from the neoclassical, jugendstil, etc. and still maintain a modern style and technology, instead of just making a recreation of classic architecture?
How should architecture evolve from now?

>The word about Marx’ drinking skills first got around in his days as a student. In 1835 he had a promising start at the University of Bonn, but soon got slightly distracted from his studies, as he was the co-president of his tavern club. Marx even got imprisoned for a day for “disturbing the peace with drunken noise”. His period of “wild rampaging”, as his father Heinrich Marx called it, in Bonn lasted only a year. After which his father transfered Karl Marx to the University of Berlin, where he actually took his Philosophy studies serious....

If Romans and Vikings ever fought how fucked would Romans be?
>>1039609
Not fucked at all. What advantages would even the proper danish army of the late viking period have over a roman army? Nevermind a fucking raiders band.
>>1039609
Which Romans? Which Vikings?
Rome would have an advantage.
really fucked. they would literally be shopped into pieces.
Romanians claim they are native to the carpathian-danubian-basin, and that absolutely all present day romanian territories belong to them, because they are NATIVE to them
Little do people know, that the first ever historical mention of the romanians was recorded in the 11th century... in present day Greece, deep in the balkans by the byzantines

Nationalism is a spook anyway. They're there now, what are you going to fucking do about it?
The fun fact is that nobody gives a flying fuck about Romania or Moldova and you're a shitty namefag who keeps spamming is nationalist propaganda all over the board for months.

What was the abrahamic God doing before he created earth?
>>1044326
tending to the heavens
or pontificating on the endless nothing set before him.
>before
An omnipresent God isn't limited by time.
Sitting in heaven and weaving a whip to lash people who ask such idiotic questions
Are there any philosophers who take him seriously?
>>1043218
Yes, if they are looking into evolutionary theory, not for the god delusion if that's what you're asking.
He's a meme scientist.
He published 12 or so papers about bumble bee digging patters in the 70s then moved into selling controversial anti-christian books to make money,
He presented his agruments at a philosophy conference and completely embarrassed himself. They tried to explain basic modal logic to h im and he just gave up and said 'philosphy is dumb and we don't need it anymore'.
The dude is a complete joke at everything but capitalism which he is good at because he realized his pretentious title and controversy can make a lot...

These were when he was employed as the professor of public understanding of science by Oxford, and aren't exclusively attacking Christianity.
And selfish gene is a very influential book on evolution.
You sound quit mad.
Is there a more infuriating religious meme than "Paul ruined Christianity"?

You can't ruin what was already shit, I guess.

What's the deal with female knights? Were they ever a thing, or is modern fantasy just being politically correct?
Joan of arc was real and was executed. Mulan was real and was executed. Boudica was real and was executed.
Joan of Arc immediately comes to mind, but I'm not sure if she was officially a "knight". Since, correct me if I'm wrong, but Knighthood was a formal distinction, not a description of everyone who took up arms for a kingdom.

They weren't really a thing. I'm sure you could dig back and find historical examples of dames who trained for combat or whatever. They'd just be anomalies, though.
Let's try to keep the sexism to a minimum this time around, we don't need a reminder why the fragile feminine frame isn't suited to big manly combat.
Why does Russia seem to constantly start trouble throughout history?

It doesn't.
Maybe since WW2 ended, but hardly "throughout history".

Would /his/ consider Oda Nobunaga a historical 'good guy' or 'bad guy'?
Definitely a historical guy.
More importantly, was he a historical big guy?
>>1021333
He's a jap, therefore he is bad
>>1021362
Didn't know he was still alive
Has he guest starred in any anime?
is this accurate?
It depends on the out of Africa theory not being true.

Why some parts of History are always kept in the dark ? As an history teacher in a very "urban" (hmm) region of Paris, I have to deal with many muslims who constantly resent History because their stupid-ass Imam told them Islam always existed and they realise it's actually the most recent abrahamic religion. Those kids need pandering, they think History is a long list of white people oppressing the rest.
That's why I taught them about Philip the Arab.
Who ? I'm sure 90% of you never heard about it. He was a roman emperor. He was from Syria...

>Why some parts of History are always kept in the dark ?
Because History is huge and regular people without a special interest in it can only be feed so much of it.
>the stupid idea of History being White vs The World.
That's now. People has always turned History into the fade bullshit of their time. In XIX History was Europeans and Christianity being superior, and today History is white people being evil, and every historical figure was a closeted gay.
>>1043741
>and every historical figure was a closeted gay.
The Secret History of the Mongols details Genghis Khan's young adult years and there's a line where he "shared a blanket" with one of his close friends. Some historians have taken that to mean buttfucking, while others think they just cuddled no homo.
>>1043674
Because the designers of the curricul of basic education have an agenda.
