Besides the Norse Vikings, is there any truly compelling evidence for contact between people of the Americas and the Old World before Columbus (and after the original migration obviously)?
Maybe Polynesian. Anything else is bullshit, either contradicted by facts, using gaps in our knowledge to have a place for itself or could technically be true but there is no evidence for it.
>>393657
Nope.
Put it this way, the Norse landings are the only thing we can definetly say for certain happened since they left behind archeological findings.
There's stories of some Irish monk but there's nothing to suggest it's
A) Nothing but a story
B) He went to either America
It's mere wishful thinking at this point.

How could any philosophy possibly be any better? I get shivers and get excited working through this mother fuckers philosophy.
He's so fucking right about it all. Live dangerously, seek power, be creative. Become a yes sayer.
Who the fuck is with me?
>>392293
He is definitely one of the all-time greats. Up there with Kant and Plato
>>392301
Yeah except Kant and Plato forgot about the part of their philosophy that's life affirming.

Even just limiting it to the American civil war, Dixie shits all over that and Dixie is just a shitty minstrel tune.
Hello /his,
I have been tasked to write an essay about whether the American Civil War can be seen as revolutionary, can any of you help me find some sources to cite in my essay? General help concerning the subject will also be greatly appreciated.
In terms of the military stuff, for a revisionist argument that the ACW was more like Napoleon's musket wars than WWI, see Paddy Griffith's "Battle Tactics of the Civil War", and Earl Hess' three books ("Field Armies and Fortifications in the Civil War", "The Rifle Musket in Civil War Combat", and "Civil War Infantry Tactics")
>>404224
How are you defining "revolutionary"?
>>404365
There's a bunch of pseudo-tanky "Two stage" revolutionism. But it's bloody schematic, and claims 1776 was a revolution, rather than 1648->1865
Thoughts ?

I dunno about actual real politics but there are so many cases on the internet in which this applies perfectly.

>SJWs and white supremacists

Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: (Exodus 20:4)
Lest ye corrupt yourselves, and make you a graven image, the similitude of any figure, the likeness of male or female, The likeness of any beast that is on the earth, the likeness of any winged fowl that flieth in the air, The likeness of any thing that creepeth on the ground, the likeness of any fish that is in the waters beneath the earth: (Deuteronomy 4:16-18)
How do you interpret this? I personally interpret this to mean any art form (photography, painting, drawing, music, filmography, etc.) Many people create idols out of images & sound and that's why we need to avoid all art forms because they can become idols in our life. We live in a culture of selfies, where so many are so obsessed with how they look as they to create an image of themselves that can be idolized on social media. It's insanity and the work of the devil.

The "unto" part makes is sound like it's just banning tattoos mayne.

I know man...anything that is in the likeness of anything will corrupt us.
It explains why the world is so messed up these days.
Did this actually happen?
>>403515
No, it's completely made up.
It's also pretty insulting to call people who are obviously fighting for the liberation of their country "Terrorists" just because they're from a Muslim nation and probably Muslim.
>>403515
No
>>403515
Well there wasn't a word for terrorism in his time so theres that.

im trying to start learn about world history but im confused where to start.any figure?
>aristoteles?
>julius caesar?
>einstein?
>hitler?
Why would you pick a figure if you're trying tolearn about world History? Wouldn't you rather pick up some sort of general texts on specific issues? like Europe in the Post-War/Middle Ages/whatever, for example
can you tell me what is that.i have no idea what is that sorry
>>403486
you mean like sort of big event changing in the past?
maybe OP should just try from WW1?
Did the us funding of Pakistan and the mujahideen (specifically Taliban associates like hekmatyar, haqqani, etc) cause the rise of the Taliban?
Yes, they also funded Isis and themselves
>>403310
No, but the lack of support afterwards did.
More money and weapons came into Afghanistan from China and Gulf States than the US. At least according to Borovik.
>>403317
The isi gave American weapons to mujahideen groups like haqqanis group, hekmatyars group, etc.. No?
>Antikythera mechanism
>Baghdad Battery
>Aeolipile
The Greeks,Mesopothamia,Egyptians actually built battery,mechanical device and so much more.But many of these are found accidently by archeologist.Do you think people in the past is way more advanced than we think? I mean what do people in the 350 BC need a battery for and could there be much more?
>>403252
They built all this shit, then realised that slavery and a need for employment for the poor who made up 99% of society made them all utterly useless. They never got out of prototype stages in most cases.
> I mean what do people in the 350 BC need a battery for
gilding and galvanizing. they propably didn't have any idea that same process produced electricity too.
>>403252
>implying it's actually a battery and not a storage jar for scrolls
This is what historians mean when they say archaeologists find something wierd and declare it to the world without further analysis.
What motivates the average white Union soldier to fight against the southern states?
It's hard to believe that people suddenly willing to die for the freedom and equality of african slaves so suddenly.
>>403171
Because the war wasn't initially about slavery.
Slavery only became a factor later on.
>>403174
>abolitionist of african slaves
>southern states get angry
>decide to rebel
What does /his/ think of the church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints?
>>402429
My mom and grandma were Mormons until my Grandma got a divorce. The church kicked both her and my mom out and I was eventually raised a Lutheran. Both of them lost their faith over the ordeal however.
>>402429
What about them?
Pretty fucking stupid, do people really want polygamous sex that badly?

Why must we argue bitterly about our differences? That's what caused this all to begin with! What about what we have in common? Could we reunite as it was before the Schism?
Is it just the issue of the Primacy of the Pope holding us back from reunity?
Discuss differences civilly ITT. We want to foster brotherhood for reunification.
Primacy actually isn't a problem at all, just supremacy.
I think the Catholics do a very good of worshiping God with their reason.
>>402174
>Why must we argue bitterly about our differences?
because bread with azymes is bad
Why was the Orthodox church so ball-less when it came to Communism? When you think the Pope, you think of a man who does either great or terrible things, but with Orthodoxy the priests do jack shit.
Can objective truth exist without God?
It doesn't matter. This question is pointless.

Why do you care about objective truths, anon?
>>402002
Why would it exist even if God did?
Thank you for coming /his/, it's about time we came together to discuss some of the recent discussions we've had regarding our faith. I want to thank James, the brother of our Lord, for offering his church here in Jerusalem to host this council. I also want to thank our brother Luke for adding this to his upcoming documentary — Acts.
Now, as per Peter's request, Barnabas and I would like to clarify some things. I know the Pharisees who follow our way claim we are letting these Gentiles have orgies in our churches, worship pagan gods and disrespect the law of Moses. Let me tell you, none of this is true. All we are trying to say is, it's okay for the gentiles to eat pork and keep their foreskin intact.
This does not at all mean we approve of buttfucking little boys, incest, exploiting the poor or whatever else the pagans at /b/ and /pol/ do. Jesus would obviously not approve of any of these, but the superficial stuff doesn't matter. And I should know, I was a Pharisee.
I will now open the floor for questions.

MOVED: That the speakers report be rejected for lacking a recommendation.
Here's a question for you: read Genesis 17 lately?
>>401663
I am well versed in the patriarchs. But circumcision came after the promise to Abraham and therefore the promise does not depend on it.
>Is this blessedness only for the circumcised, or also for the uncircumcised?We have been saying that Abraham’s faith was credited to him as righteousness.Under what circumstances was it credited? Was it after he was circumcised, or before? It was not after, but before!And he received circumcision as a sign, a seal of the righteousness that he had by faith while he was still uncircumcised.So then, he is the fatherof all who believebut have not been circumcised, in order that righteousness might be credited to them.And he is then also the father of the circumcised who not only are circumcised but who also follow in the footsteps of the faith that our father Abraham had before he was circumcised.
