Nope. Read books.
How different would the world be if Jesus had been cremated?
The Church always finds a way
>Just because he didn't bodily raise himself up from the dead doesn't mean the resurrection didn't happen, he just resurrected as the holy spirit! You just don't get rich, symbolic metaphor.
I guess reconstituting yourself from ashes is a bit more impressive than reanimating one's corpse.

The key point was that his remains disappeared which supported the claims he either resurrected or his body was stolen. This wouldn't exactly change with cremation. Actually it would make it easier to steal his remains to fake resurrection.
Out of the way best battle in history coming through
I'm gonna make a 10 best anime battles edit when I get home.

>pounding away uselessly at each other for four hours while the men freak out about how to even use the fucking things
Yeah, nah. Monitor v. Cumberland is more interesting because it's the hallmark of the new age demolishing the old.
>a cheese wheel and a butter tray running circles around each other until they run out of ammunition
>best battle
Excellent joke, OP.

So what was happening in the year 965BC in Greece?

Was Spengler right?
Is history just an infinite cycle of cultures rising, peaking, and dying?
If so, when did the West begin to rise? When did it peak? When did it start it's decline? When and how will it fall?
What even is the West?
I doubt the British empire will ever collapse
>different cultures and civilizations rise and fall gradually over time
>"WOW SO SHOCKING THIS IS SO MYSTERIOUS, I THINK I SEE A PATTERN HERE, LIKE, WHAT IF THE WEST TOO, LOOOOL"
Reminder Spengler is for literal autists
Academics don't take Spengler very seriously. I haven't read him, so I can't give you my opinion on the matter.
>Is history
History is the progression of Being through time. There's nothing infinite or cyclical about it. There are observable patterns that we can use to make inferences given certain conditions, but whether or not there is a univesral 'theory' of history according to which X is true is a different story entirely.
>when did the West begin to rise?
Probably with Charlemagne, sometime in the 13th century, or during the Renaissance. I don't know which.
>When did it peak?
The Victorian era.
>When did it start it's decline?
Whether or not it's in decline is questionable. Western civilization is capable of restructuring itself. If it doesn't currently resemble its 17th-century self, that's because it had to change to adapt to centuries of shifting conditions.
>When and how will it fall?
It will probably be the Jews' doing.
>What even is the West?
The idea of Freedom, demonstrated in history.
Name a more based Naval Commander throughout history
Protip: you can't
Someone will point out how he lost about half his battles.
But still I don't think there any others who are as good as him. Didn't Pompey wreck the shit out of the pirates?
>>929505
>saved Korea for being conquered by japan
>pulled a bullet out of him the discussed battle plans as if nothing happened
>invented the Turtle Ship and fucked Japan's navy
Nelson wasn't even the best British naval commander in history. He managed to win the one battle that counted the most, and win it at a time when the public needed a to put a face to British naval power. Much like Kurt Cobain, most of his popularity comes from the timing of his death. Even Wellington didn't like him: "He [Nelson] could not know who I was, but he entered at once into a conversation with me, if I can call it conversation, for it was almost all on his side and all about himself, and in, really, a style so vain and silly as to surprise and almost disgust me".
My vote goes to Admiral Yi or de Ruyter.
How accurate would I be if I said all philosophy is based off of metaphysics?

This board really, really needs the humanities and history splitting into two different boards. The humanities is completely taking over and not only that but its becoming a shitposting haven.
History here is almost dead. It needs splitting.
>>929157
Except history provides perfect examples of philosophical lessons. Also, some of the most famed artworks convey popular scenes from history. It's only natural that they blend.
at the moment of my submitting this post, 24 of the first 35 threads (first four lines of the catalog) are history related, not humanities related
I think you mean theology should be split off, it's nothing more than atheist and theist shitflinging now, hardly from the theist camp currently
the rest of the humanities can stay
post artifacts

Bottom of a cup I dug up in greece, even has the artists signature
What would happen to me if I preached that the Eucharist (communion) is just a symbolic act and not literally Jesus' flesh and blood, during the Middle Ages?
Would I get burned to death?
There was a knight who did this and he got excommunicated
He was the first person in history to do so.
He later recanted his views and died in good standing with the church though
Depending on how charasmatic you are i think. If not important the Church will probably just tell you why you are wrong and maybe kill you if you continue. Probably likelier a mob killsyoufor it.
Chinkmoot just made a separate board for Humanities, you can find it here:
>>>/hm/
He hasn't updated this board yet, but it's going to be just for history soon.
I fucking love Kate Bush

Kek, ´Chinkmoot´.
Looks like the perfect place for all the philosophers here
>expecting the government to help you out with welfare

Darwinism is a myth.

People back then had extended family networks they could rely on. Divorce, debt, and media-approved selfishness have destroyed extended family networks.
