Did Egyptians come from South of the Sahara? And I don't mean "hurr durr Africa theorized to be cradle of life because we found some old bones" tier. I mean within the past 10,000 years did Egyptians come from South of the Sahara?
They came from Mesopotamia/Babel just like everyone else in the world.
Even if you believe in the myth of evolution, the "out-of-africa" theory has been debunked.
>>2788667
They came from the Levant, where agriculture was developed, they also expanded in the Sahara, which was green at the time (7000 to 3000 bc), later when it became a desert some of them migrated to them Nile, creating the Egyptians, some others migrated to North Africa.
>>2788678
where did people come from then? Any books on this? How was it debunked?
>can create astrological calendars that are ridiculously accurate for millennia
>can't create carts
tell me something about these weirdos
literally nothing wrong with that
They probably functioned utilizing a social/political/and economic model closest to "true communism" than anywhere else in human history at a macro, formalized 'state' level.
>>2788503
probably because they didn't have animals to pull the carts
A former courtier on the death of Louis XV and the ascension of Louis XVI, May 10th, 1774:
>The taper was extinguished. On this signal the Body Guards, pages, and equerries mounted on horseback, and all was ready for setting off. The Dauphin was with the Dauphiness. They were expecting together the intelligence of the death of Louis XV. A dreadful noise, absolutely like thunder, was heard in the outer apartment; it was the crowd of courtiers who were deserting the dead sovereign’s antechamber, to come and do homage to the new power of Louis XVI. This extraordinary tumult informed Marie Antoinette and her husband that they were called to the throne; and, by a spontaneous movement, which deeply affected those around them, they threw themselves on their knees; both, pouring forth a flood of tears, exclaimed: “O God! guide us, protect us; we are too young to reign.”
>be Louis XV
>start out reign as a kid
>get popular as the years go on and become Louis the Beloved
>suddenly say fuck it and spend the last decade+ of your reign just fucking mistresses, spending money, and making fun of your family (he called his daughters Piggy, Tatters, and Flea)
>no longer Louis the Beloved, but Louis the Regretted
>don't even attempt to educate your ill-prepared, meek grandson on becoming king (or having sex)
>die of smallpox
>leave grandson with corrupt, bankrupt nation and no training
>20 years later your corpse is dug up by rebellious peasants
welp
If he had only not done what Louis XIV had done by ruling alone, perhaps he would've not been a fuck up.

FINALLY A FRENCH MONARCHY THREAD WOWOWOW
So what was, in the long term, worst thing he ever did in his reign, administratively speaking?
Was it listening to Madame Du Pompadour, burning the French encyclopedia, or enforcing the Gabelle to extremity?
>when you tell crusade apologist (b-but muhslim expansion) about Constantinople and Cathars

Redpill me /his/, I want to know everything you can tell me about the jesuits.
>>2788166
http://historiayverdad.org/Babilonia/The-jesuits-their-moral-maxims-and-plots-against-kings-nations-and-church-j-a-wylie.pdf
They acted as intermediaries between Japan and China and made mad profits of the silk trade.
They built missions in south america that resembled a communist state, so they were expelled.
They were the CIA of their time, all kinds of spying and ciphering messages.
To this day they are like a church elite corps, you need to have a college degree to be a jesuit priest.
Like regular priests but smart.
Why did rock and roll music movements thrive in shitty conditions? Like, pre-Guiliani NY, southern bums, suicidal places like Seattle, etc.? At least before they're over-commercialized, of course.
Human struggle is a great breeding ground for art.

What did he mean but this?
Because at most they were working menial part-time jobs to support their band. Artist had to leave the city once it was gentrified and unaffordable.
Was the whole of Nazi Germany and its recovery just a corporate effort due to fear of communism?
>General Motors and Ford creates the motorized Nazi war machine
>IBM partners with Nazis to efficiently run the extermination of millions in Europe with IBM systems
>The Carnegie Institution and its sponsored movement spent millions to propagate American eugenic theories in post-WWI Germany, financing race science programs in universities and official institutions. These included the idea that Jews must be eliminated.
>Rockefeller funded Hitler’s chief raceologist Otmar Verschuer and his insatiable twin experimentation programs.
>Bush family involved in Nazi companies

Small contributions, but it happened. Question is how much it was guided by ideology and how much by profit
>>2787968
Yeah, like how Koch brothers worked under Stalin's orders, right?

Vietnam was one of the dumbest clusterfucks ever. Americans misunderstood a nationalist movement as a communist one, and assumed all Commies are part of some network. Soviets, Chinese, and Vietnam only worked together because they temporarily had a common enemy.
The fact that modern Vietnam is a strong USA ally, yet still communist shows this. Vietnam has always been a tiny state scared of China.
There could have been countless peaceful or less violent solutions that would have resulted in Vietnam turning into an ally faster.
>>2787892
what's your point?
>>2787896
That Vietnam war was a pointless clusterfuck. Vietnam could have been a USA ally and avoid the war entirely.
>>2787945
Yeah, so?

Why is human sexuality so weird? Do animals exhibit the kind of bizarre and abstract sexual preferences and desires we do? I've read into it some but can't seem to find a satisfying answer, if anyone has some suggested reading that might clarify this somewhat it would be hugely appreciated, but more specifically help me understand why I'm such a sadistic fuck.
We have innate instincts, we then learn to associate them with stimuli and thoughts. Our ability to think abstractly to a great degree means that we can make some bizarre "associations" whereas animals stay close to their instincts.
>>2787834
We are build to fuck, just because we are animals, and more particularly mammals.
Now, why weird? Depends on the spectrum. Birds fuck same-gender dead birds.
Dolphins conduct rape.
Dogs fuck as a means to show dominance, and will fuck regardless of gender.
What do these animals have in common? A high language spectrum.
Language allows for fucking.
In the words from de Dead Poets Society
>Language was invented for one reason,[...] - to woo [the other part in sex]
And then there is the whole paraphiliae spectrum of wanting to sex buildings and 2D constructs, but bears fuck trees so it is all good.
>help me understand why I'm such a sadistic fuck
Either you want dominance over others, showing your power to give and end pain; you recieved pain yourself and want redemption/vengance onto the image of that which caused pain; or you sparked sexualy at the same time you caused pain, or understood pleasure of engaging pain into others; or you are not a sadistic fuck and just a soft-core sadist
>>2788111
I don't necessarily draw pleasure from inflicting pain myself, but witnessing suffering, which is something I specifically haven't found any detailed writing on. But this undermines the power or dominance seeking explanation. Girl on girl violence, not necessarily even physical violence or suffering, even just a girl verbally abusing another girl or psychologically traumatizing her is enough to get me really going.

The look of his eyes is so disturbing, and the picture is accurate if the witness testimonies are to be believed
it was obvious that he did not intend to kill his son

Why do Europeans like skeletons so much?
>>2787767
I'm not European but I like Mr. Bones too.

Their pretty badass and are scary.
You might even say bonechilling.
Every culture likes skeletons. Skeletons are cool.
A Jehovas Witness just came to my door and told me Jesus was one of the four horsemen of the apocalypse
When I tried to question him he said "we'll come back another time to discuss this"
Tell me /his/, what did they mean by that?
Is that what they all think?
But he is. He's the one on the white horse.
>>2787573
I don't remember Jesus invading my country in my Atilla total war game
I think what they meant was that they couldn't stay to discuss the matter at that moment but would be happy to continue the discussion at a later time or date. Maybe they had to finish their route or go for lunch.
I think most of them do think this way. That they would love to have an in-depth discussion about their views and faith but sometimes just don't have the time to sit down for potentially hours. So they tell people they would like to talk to that they will come back at a later time, when they are able to give a proper explanation for their views.
