Tell me about orthodoxy. Is Jerusalem the numbero uno city? Where and when was the orthodox church founded? Crusades? A few things I should know about the religion and last but not least. How did it end up in countries like Russia and Ukraine etc?

> Tell me about orthodoxy. Is Jerusalem the numbero uno city?
Kinda, but actually it's Constantinople.
> Where and when was the orthodox church founded?
In 30 AD Palestine by Jesus.
> Crusades?
Papist traitors.
> A few things I should know about the religion
It's the closest you can get to the early Christian church in terms of teachings and organization.
> How did it end up in countries like Russia and Ukraine etc?
Because Kiev was the capital of the early Rus' principality, and Kiev sits on the Dniepr river, Dnepr flows into the Black Sea, and the main port on the Black Sea is Tsargrad/Constantinople. So Greeks were the main trade partners of Russians at the time, resulting in cultural and political influence. Had Capital of Rus' be somewhere on the Volga river, which flows into the Caspian sea, East Slavs would be Muslims.
>Jesus ascends to Heaven
>Apostles spread the Gospel
>Christians thrive under persecution
>Emperor Constantine """"converts""""
>Faith becomes compromised and mixed with paganism
>Catholicism is born
>Roman empire is split between West and East
>Papal Rome keeps inventing new doctrines and unscriptural shit just for power and politics
>East drifts away from West and does not acknowledge Tha Pope Man™
>East becomes known as Orthodoxy
>West becomes known as Roman Catholicism
fast forward to the 15th century
>Europe is like: "enough of your shit Rome, we want to return to real true Christianity"
>Protestant Reformation is born
>Catholic Spain takes South-American shitholes
>Protestant England takes North-America and there is a revival in Biblical Christianity
>Orthodoxy is just chilling in Eastern Europe and the Middle-East.

Pauline Christianity is the closest you can get to the early Christian church.
Orthodox = Catholicism without a pope
What does /his/ think about the true Third Rome?
I'd like lamb with tabouli, tomato, hummus and no cheese or onions
Do you do Gyros here?
You mean Russia?
I'll dump my folder of historical photos with the hope that more anons will contribute and post theirs. I have to say I do not have a lot of pictures.
Hello /his/.
I was just wondering what people here thought about the connection between ancient Assyrians and modern-day Assyrians.
Is there there any connection between them? I'm a modern-day Assyrian, and although I believe there is a connection, I recognize the fact that there's a big gap between the Neo-Assyrian Empire and Syriac Christianity.
Quick little facts:
>Modern-day Assyrians speak Syriac, which is an Aramaic language. This falls in line with the historical record since the Neo-Assyrian Empire adopted Aramaic as the official language of the empire. Modern Syriac still retains Akkadian loanwords and grammatical structure.
>Modern-day Assyrians trace their homelands to upper Mesopotamia and the surrounding regions, which was the Assyrian heartland.
>Modern-day Assyrians were referred to as Assyrians by their neighboring populations, such as the Armenians.
>A lot of Assyrian symbolism is present in our old churches, such as our old sun god Shamash.
Also, general Assyria thread.

LIES, KURDISH EMPIRE WAS THE FIRST. LEARN THE REAL HISTORY @ koolkurdiklub.com
>>1012537
I don't believe there's been any serious academic study that definitely links the two. What we have are mostly 19th century Romanticists who, like all others, liked to make these connections, and the modern day historians who either defend them with very little evidence or reject them because of the lack of definitive evidence.

Terrorists then, terrorists now.
So basically we need massive wars/destruction of wealth to keep the global economic system functioning?
That seems pretty shit.
War/destruction is as common as metricfy them with graphs like that.
what the fuck happened in the 1970s?

blacks got the vote
>Thats literally a momentum of 20-30kg/s of pure hard core steel coming straight at your face.
Even if you blocked it with your shield you'll probably break your arm doing so.
Any thoughts /his/?

With 60 kg core steel
>His favorite weapon was a huge mace, which, according to legend, he wielded effortlessly with a single hand despite it reportedly weighed 60 kilograms (132 lbs).[13] Among his other favorite weapons are a longbow and a large two-handed broadsword apparently weighing more than 50 kilograms (110 lbs), despite the fact that even the largest known swords (used for combat) rarely weigh more than 10 lbs, and ceremonial parade swords weighing more than 15 lbs are exceedingly rare.[14]

Throw thirty peasants armed with spears at him.
What are the main similarities and differences between Hitler and Stalin?
both had moustaches
>>1008880
Hitler was on a load of drugs but didn't drink, while Stalin mostly limited himself to alcohol and tobacco. Both ended up paranoid.
Has anybody from /his/ been in an abandoned building?
What happens to said buildings over time?
Do the owner or country just forget about the building?
Why don't they destroy it to make space for new ones?
Also post pictures
So I need to write about the role of Christianity in the fall of Communism
Unfortunately, I know very little about this
Now, I'm not asking you to do my coursework or anything
I just want to have a civil discussion with maybe some useful sources posted etc that will allow me to get a decent base understanding of the matter so that I may write this shit
thanks senpaitachi

Not much, really. You should write about the opposite.

So what makes certain armies (Spartans, Vikings, samurais, ninjas) so fucking meme-tier? Pop culture and edgy 16-year old boys wouldn't stop circlejerking around them. Meanwhile, other historical noteworthy warriors (gallowglasses, ushkuiniki, Catalan Company, etc.) are rarely talked about outside of their home countries.
Propaganda.
Tfw get called a larper when I quote the Spartans from the battle of thermopolea
They were more successful.
Spartans had a great reputation in Greece (remember Alexander the Great's father not going to war with them), a very particular culture and the Battle of Thermopylae.
Vikings conquered Russia, Normandy and Northeastern Britain. They gave a lot of problems to Carolingean kings.
Samurai ruled Japan for a long ass time, defeated the Mongols twice, mounted an invasion of 150,000 soldiers against Korea/China (where they actually had the advantage in land battles) and had a very particular culture.
If anything, the underrated ones are not the Scottish, but the Turks.
Which saint are you named after, anon?
My middle name Nils is from bishop Nicolaus Hermanni.
He has no wikipedia page in english but he's mentioned here. wikipedia.org/wiki/Link%C3%B6ping_Cathedral
Saint Mohammed.
Its the last age of the nuclear family and conservatism. Often its seen as the age of conformity but is there more to this era that many fondly reminisce about?
Asbestos, Asbestos everywhere.
In 1950s Australia, they even used to use loose asbestos fibers in kids play boxes instead of sand.
Ah yes the 50s where you could still beat your wife and kids, fags were in their closets and lynching blacks was still a public spectacle to bring your kids and grandma to.
There still existed a middle class back then.
What does /his/ think of world-systems theory?

True in the 70s maybe?
