Deer where previously undomesticated, through the process of domestication, they would then become domesticated.

>>2844127
They don't taste very good.

Common because it's fun to dig into the annals of history

Common law. It divides power between the legislature and the judiciary, which helps prevent parliamentary tyrannies. Furthermore, it puts a lot of legal construction in the hands of the legal profession, and not the winners of popularity contests.

>>2844048
I'm sold. Common law it is. Isn't it much more complex though?

There is an old poem by Francisco Quevedo that says that gold was "born in the Indies.... And goes to Genoa to die." Geoffrey Parker posits that the Spanish Empire had showed signs of decline by the early to mid 17th century.

Momentum and pillaging

Arguably one of the worst things that has ever happened in the history of mankind.

> How were the Mongols able to inflict such damage on Europe?
What damage? Europe was the least affected part of Eurasia.

Looked like this could be interesting for a little bit, and then you just had to spoil it all?
Also
>Saved Western Europe at Tours

ok buddy

1789.

Obviously because you're cherrypicking the "good parts" so to speak.

You're ignoring the fact that the aristocracy in France also bled the peasant class dry, and did so with the blessings of the Church for hundreds of years.

I don't understand threads like these. Are they just veiled generals? You can't possibly have a real interest in having this question answered, yet show such disinterest in learning anything about it that you would put forward such an entry-level inquiry.

And I hope you realize there isn't any one "Buddhism." All the sects have different takes on this.

OPs misunderstanding aside, Buddhism is quite susceptible to lending itself to malevolent social practices aka the 'caste' system due to how karma can be interpreted.

If life is in an eternal cycle of suffering and rebirth then it is so readily able to conclude that the lot of the poorer person or less fortunate is society is due to a 'previous life' or misdemeanors in a previous life. The life now is therefore punishment and the good buddhist should not interfere.

Many people think buddhism would lead to a wonderful fair and peaceful society but one only need to take Tibet (pre-China annexation) to see why.

I'm extremely serious about this question, so here me out.

What if in 1941, when Georgy Zhukov was appointed as commander of the Leningrad Front, instead he turned into a snake?

In this scenario: in that winter day, Stalin doesn't appoint Zhukov as commander of the Leningrad Front. Zhukov is sitting in his office alone, when suddenly he feels off.

Always ready with a pen, he documents his experience:

>his skin discolors
>it becomes rougher
>his tongue forks
>eyes goes black, it becomes hard to write
>legs shrink into body
>arms shrink into bodies, Zhukov can no longer write

The rest of the transformation takes place; what was once a human of normal stature is now a slender creature of significant girth.

This scenario assumes that Zhukonda retains his intelligence. What happens next? The first obstacle would be him to survive until his secretary or guards found him. Then the next challenge is convincing them who he is. Best case is that he does, but what about everyone else? Is he able to continue his job? How is he treated by peers, the general public, and enemies?

Discuss.

>>2843400
that was fast.

>>2843400
Nothing will stop Zhukov from uniting the Russian peoples under one graveyard.

>>2843207
Stop whitewashing him.

Well they were about as Roman as the Byzantines were, that's for sure.

Elephanta Caves. Made about in the 5th or 6th AD. Simple rock cut architecture and made from a small kingdom long dead.

Khajuraho Monuments. The Chandela dynasty, who made these temples firmly believed in the Tantric school of thought. The gist of which, is that their needs to be perfect balance between the male and female.

>>2842512
I kind of wish people would realize that these are questions that justify full-length book series or doctoral theses rather than a thread on an imageboard.

>>2842528
For a complete explanation, yes, but here would must be satisfied with a short list of important factors and memes.
You could recommend literature too. Be constructive.

This is my favorite scholarly debate about the ethnogenesis of the ancient Egyptians

I think Egyptians being black is dumb but the theory of them being white is even more retarded. Jesus Christ.

Picture is inaccurate, the USA never really bought into the colonial resource extraction meme. Their short colonial ventures were for purposes of military basing. Thought it was much more efficient to get resources via trade, and by coincidence that also helped the areas they traded with.

I'm glad Moldova and Romania are benefiting so much from their long lived colonial empire days.

>>2842232
Kek. They put the resources on Eastern Europe but left off Spain and Portugal.

Neanderthals never existed.
