What were the most accurate recorded and confirmed prophecies in history?
>>2769594
Jesus Christ the Messiah.
>>2769616
If he was the messiah according to the Torah, why did he not fulfill the prophecies for the Jews?
Or is this more like the shit Paul came up with, like write 50-70 years later about it with the " hey, lets make our boy a messiah", and claim there was an old prophecy bullshit?
> The Prophecy of St. Nilus
After the year 1900, toward the middle of the 20th century, the people of that time will become unrecognizable. When the time for the Advent of the Antichrist approaches, people's minds will grow cloudy from carnal passions, and dishonor and lawlessness will grow stronger. Then the world will become unrecognizable.
People's appearances will change, and it will be impossible to distinguish men from women due to their shamelessness in dress and style of hair. These people will be cruel and will be like wild animals because of the temptations of the Antichrist. There will be no respect for parents and elders, love will disappear, and Christian pastors, Bishops and priests will become vain men, completely failing to distinguish the right-hand way from the left.
At that time, the morals and traditions of Christians and of the Church will change. People will abandon modesty, and dissipation will reign. Falsehood and greed will attain great proportions, and woe to those who pile up treasures. Lust, adultery, homosexuality, secret deeds and murder will rule in society.
What was happening here before Islam?
>>2769591
Worshipping idols (subhanallah!) and other jahil nonsense nobody should know or care about
They worshipped Allah, the moon goddess.
Not that much, some trade going on between the bedouins, city states, and neighbouring political entities.

It was theft
>>2769569
You still need to pay taxes on shit you steal, for serious.
>>2769898

Highly doubtful. Probably only the majority of the upper class.
>>2769361
Most wore braids.
>>2769607
Isnt that a wig too?
The CIA armed native rebels.
lack of migration brought about my lack of investment and lack of investment brought about by lack of migration. There was little incentive for american free blacks to migrate there since there wasn't really anything for them to do there, and there was no surplus population of americo-liberians that would make investment into liberia worthwhile. By the time Liberia had anything worth foreign powers spending on the period where it could have attracted migrants was largely over.
>>2769119
America sided with the 70 IQ monkey retard underclass against the black American ruling class just because the native leader called himself an anti-communist.
Was there a reason Israel returned the Sinai Peninsula besides geopolitical good boy points?
Strategically it's a decent buffer zone between them and Africa. As well as Egypt.
>>2769024
It was useless desert and economic drain on them.
>>2769047
True. Even today the only industry in the area is tourism
So if a person commits a crime, let's say murder, after which their memory and awareness of the event are completely erased from their consciousness such that from their sentient perspective none of it ever transpired, should they still be punished? Personally I don't think they should, because you'd basically be inflicting punishment on an innocent person. If the person isn't aware of their crime, isn't punishment pointless?
>>2768955
Memory wipe is enough punishment by itself.
>>2768955
yes. They still did it, whether they remember it or not.
If that were the case, every super drunk driver would get off scott free
>>2768955
So you wouldn't put me in jail because I spent all the money after I robbed a bank? All the money is gone, wouldn't punishment be pointless?
Humanities was a mistake and you should either stop being a retard or kys right away
why did it take humanity so extremely long to actually began to understand how disease is spread? when we discovered how it actually do spread it wasn't even because of a sudden technological leap, it was because cholera happened to come stomping and the sick and dead leaved easy to recognize patterns.
>>2768908
We thought we already knew.
It's hard to develop germ theory if you can't see the little bastards, and it's hard to see them without microscopes.
It's also hard to develop microscopes without a modern understand of optics, and hard to develop a theory of optics without a scientific revolution.
>>2768913
people who came up with the germ theory of diseases didn't see the germs, they just noticed a certain pattern on how the disease spread and figured it had something to do with contaminated water.
this wasn't something new either , people thousands of years prior had seen this connection but still other explanations won out.
Why does Engels always get forgotten when he was Marx's equal?
>>2768753
He's like the Steve Wozniak of communism.
>>2768766
Well said!
>>2768766
Wozniak and Jobs weren't equals. Wozniak actually programmed and built things, Jobs was just a marketing guy.
Immigrants are driving down the wages and the living standards, they need to go back!

Well at least you understand you're being invaded in the present day on a visceral level by studying previous invasions.

Are you a simpleton or something?

Why are Finns being often called Mongols?
>>2768583
It's part of their eternal war with the Korean peoples.
>>2768583
Their eyes.
>>2768583
Because they speak Finnish, an Uralic language, that sticks like a sore thumb in the almost completely Indo-European Europe.
What went wrong in China and India? Why Europe industrialized first? Was it because of Christianity?
>>2768539
Colonialism and exploitation.
>>2768539
Yes it was because of Christianity my fellow brother in Christ. This is why the economic superpowers of the world, Armenia and Ethiopia were the first to Christianize and hence the first to industrialize. Gods favor be with them forever!
>>2768703
>unfunny, evident , thereby pointless redditor "sarcasm"
Why he is so vilified? I thought commies were enemies of USA during Cold War.
arse-angered leftists don't like being exposed
I don't know anything about America but as I understand his methods were crude and unpleasant but based on assumptions that turned out to be entirely correct.
>>2768475
>unpleasant but based on assumptions that turned out to be entirely correct.
So what is the problem? He was basically right.
Who were the Etruscans?
Anatolians or Aegeans of some variety who migrated westward and merged with the native Villanovan culture to create a powerful collection of city states.
hellenized protocelts

Would a Direct Democracy world government be a good thing or a bad thing?
Why or why not?
I think it would be great because then no more wars or starving or international disputes.
>>2768254
Despite what people like to say, Direct Democracies can be VERY successful if the populace is very involved and informed. Ancient Athens, for example, became a superpower because not only did they have excellent leadership, but also a mass of well-informed and well-educated citizens, who knew when to support their leaders and also when to tell them to calm down their ambitions.
Currently, however, I feel the general populace of the world is not yet ready for the resurgence of Direct Democracy, because of two reasons; one, they are very divided, and two, they are not as well informed or educated. The rise of mass-media has created sensationalism, which has taken the spotlight of actually truthful news. As a result, it is hard to be truly well-informed on a topic unless you do copious amounts of research, which makes it harder for the average person to be truly well-informed on a topic.
It is, of course, my hope that we see Direct Democracy be tried on the scale it was on Athens, but until then Republicanism is probably a better alternative.
>>2768254
Is this villa public access? If not, then it's pretty degenerate and a waste to have all this living space all by yourself.
>>2768528
I bet sensationalism was spread even back then. Just look at the illiad and stories of troy ect. real events who were all spiced up with rumours of beasts and cyclops, romance ect.
