Is /his/ familiar with the graffitti from Pompeii?
http://www.pompeiana.org/Resources/Ancient/Graffiti%20from%20Pompeii.htm
Here is some gems:
II.7 (gladiator barracks); 8792: On April 19th, I made bread
VII.9 (Eumachia Building, via della Abbondanza); 2048: Secundus likes to screw boys.
VII.12.18-20 (the Lupinare); 2175: I screwed a lot of girls here.
VII.12.18-20 (the Lupinare); 2192: Sollemnes, you screw well!

Reminds me how Czech crusaders refused to continue from Venice by ships to Holy Land and returned home because they never seen sea before and were afraid of it.

Both. Red on the outside petals, white on the inside ones.

I am a faggot and just woke up, thinking about 15-16th century, england-france-germany area, for any crime.
Have women in Europe historically been oppressed, privileged or a mix of both?
>>585394
yes
Roastie have always been fucking privileged compared to men who've been oppressed.
We have had to fight wars and conquer great lands and work fucking hard, while they relax and do FUCK ALL.

>Have women in Europe historically been oppressed, privileged or a mix of both?
Yes. (Anderson, Bonnie S. and Judith P. Zinsser. A History of Their Own: Women in Europe from Prehistory to the Present)
What a vacuous question.
are there any books that goes in depth into the american civil war that's good to read? i am fairly new to history so im not familiar much with the starting point. If there are any good books for starters, that would be great.

Homer of US Americas
Battle Cry of Freedom: The Civil War Era by James M. McPherson.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_Cry_of_Freedom_%28book%29
The main thing about McPherson's book is that it covers the 20 years going into the American Civil war, and actually gives you a context why the nation went to war. So many try and dumb down the war to slavery and slavery alone because that gives the war great pathos.
While acknowledging that Slavery was a prime mover of the War, Pherson covers like 20 other factors that contributed to tension between the Northern and Southern...

Is history (or historiography for that matter) part of the humanities?
>>585279
Yes, because science is part of the humanities.
I always considered humanities to be arts, history to be social science. You can discuss the humanities in a historical context of course and I think that may have been an intention behind this board, but as it is now it's overbroad.
the dichotomy is flawed from the very beginning and creates a ghetto of knowledge that's "unapplicable"
I find it hard to apply advanced mathematics but nobody would dare to call it "humanities"
What other peoples are related to the Celts?
Germanics/Norse and Scythian's.
Nigerians.
Africans
We was the original Celts.
How come the far east never dreamed of sailing across the Pacific?
Was it too large for them to plausibly traverse?
What would have happened if say the Japanese found America first?
>>584909
the Chinese have a thing about them being the most important thing in existence and not really wanting to bother outside their own sphere cause what's the point, they already have All under Heaven.
There's a commercially published crackpot theory that the Chinese treasure fleets discovered the Americas a few decades before Columbus got there. Largely discredited, however, but it may provide leads on your question.
>>584919
This. Why bother? There nothing we needed from the outside and when outsiders slow up they only want to trade with our merchants for accessories anyway.
If you dissect world religions/superstition/mythologies can you find the "Ur-Religion"?
Is it even possible?
>>584752
Robert Graves attempted this for Europe.
He produced a religion about sex cannibalism, women murdering men, and animal totems.
His "historical method" was to get high, read poetry and make stuff up. I'm not joking.
It isn't possible.

Bumping for hope.
Bumping for dreams.

Why was Eva Peron liked? I'm curious to learn more. Wasn't Peron a fascist? Help me out here /his/, I'm not that well educated on Evita.
>>584719
>Wasn't Peron a fascist?
Why would this make his wife unloved? Many people in the 20th century liked governments and leaders who were fascist.
Maybe your problem with understanding is your sitting room morality that is incapable of historical empathy?
>>584724
I'm curious from a normative perspective, that is that fascist governments are usually later on despised.
>>584729
Which is why contemporary fascist governments exist in areas which had previous fascist governments (25 year rule).
Which is why Tujman and Milosevic were so detested in their own polities based on the hatred for ustashe and cetniks.
…
I think your norm is shit.
Why aren't you a Baha'i yet /his/?
:...is a monotheistic religion which emphasizes the spiritual unity of all humankind.Three core principles establish a basis for Bahá'í teachings and doctrine: the unity of God, that there is only one God who is the source of all creation; the unity of religion, that all major religions have the same spiritual source and come from the same God; and the unity of humanity, that all humans have been created equal, coupled with the unity in diversity, that diversity of race and culture are seen as worthy of appreciation...

Is religious something you can really pick and choose? How absolute is a doctrine when you can just pick whatever suits you?
1. god isn't real
2. the chain of events is too ludicrous to have any credibility: baha'i is islamic fanfiction -> islam is christian fanfiction -> christianity is jewish fanfiction -> judaism is sumerian fanfiction; but we finally got it right this time guys! the super duper real i 100% promise you this time he's genuine prophet of god is here, again, and he's in this insignificant part of the world, again

They all have a familiar base.. i.e. "don't be a dick". Where they (abrahamic or monotheistic) religions fail is through absolute rules.
Were the ancient Persians and easterners in general more superstitious than Greeks and Romans?
Why did Eastern troops always flee once their king or commander was killed whereas western troops could rally and keep fighting
>>584556
>Eastern troop always flee
[citation needed]
>>584577
>Rome total war :Alexander campaign
"Alexander knew that if he killed the Persian king the superstitious Persians would flee"
>>584577
no real source but standing and fighting after the kings has fallen seems like a very western thing to do wearers fleeing at every chance of misfortune or bad omen seems to be an eastern thing to do
How did Patton die, and why was it the result of the KGB infiltration?
>>584471
He had an unfortunate car accident.
>>584471
His driver was drunk.
Allied Generals killed him to keep the peace with Russia and because of International Jewry.
