Nooooope. Probably the worst history podcast out there.

Dunno, it's a mystery.

Religious organizations that required demonstration of merit, knowledge, and the gaining of rank to gain access to higher spiritual knowledge and benefits.

Freemasonry is a modern mystery religion, although there were thousands ranging from the imported-yet-unrelated Mithraism to the absolutely ancient Eleusian mysteries.

Was it true that they were overtaking the traditional paganism in Rome?

Yeah because they revolted against him you fucking imbecile

>>2700115
They revolted against an oppressive government which endeavored to destroy southern industries and tax southern states at substantially higher rates in order to subsidize northern manufacturing.

Napoleon used everyone, hence his success. I do believe he had some shred of respect for them, but he used them as a means to an end. His end was all of Europe under his control.

>This is a montage of clips from the most expensive film ever made (in today's dollars the budget would be over $700 million). These were the days before CG animation, there are no special effects creating these huge armies, it is all REAL. 120,000 soldiers in period costumes, thousands of horses, etc. No film will ever come close to this in terms of spectacle, without being, essentially, a work of animation (like The Return of the King).

Holy shit i need to watch this

Napoléon is a 1927 silent French epic film written, produced, and directed by Abel Gance that tells the story of Napoleon's early years. On screen, the title is Napoléon vu par Abel Gance, meaning "Napoleon as seen by Abel Gance". The film is recognised as a masterwork of fluid camera motion, produced in a time when most camera shots were static. Many innovative techniques were used to make the film, including fast cutting, extensive close-ups, a wide variety of hand-held camera shots, location shooting, point of view shots, multiple-camera setups, multiple exposure, superimposition, underwater camera, kaleidoscopic images, film tinting, split screen and mosaic shots, multi-screen projection, and other visual effects. A revival of Napoléon in the mid-1950s influenced the filmmakers of the French New Wave

Majorian gets a mention on /his/ too. Probably not as much as Julian but more then Eugenius who was Christian but wasn't antagonistic towards old polytheism.

>>2699464
Its not his, its autistic neo pagans who refuse to accept Christianity saved rome

>>2699464

/his/' problem is blaming the fall of rome on christianity when there are a plethora of other reasons that make far more sense

it's a theory that was posited and refuted by augustine of hippo and then posited by edward gibbon and refuted by modern historians

retard shit typical of this board

I beleive they were used for hunting and were some of the first animals domesticated around the hunter gatherer stage, would not know when we started treating them as friends and not hunting tools

Roughly 30000-40000 years ago. It was either the end of the middle Stone Age or the end of the Stone age. We know that dogs separated from wolves around 33000 years ago.

Dogs were first used to guard the human's shelters and also for hunting. The cave painting you posted illustrates that since we can clearly see a man with a long stick/primitive spear in his hand and a dog by his side. I'm fairly certain that he is a hunter.
To answer your question directly, dogs have been really close to humans ever since they were domesticated since their roles implied being close to people most of the time.

It works in some cultures so maybe. Monogamy is not the natural way of things anyway.

>>2699406
according to anatomy women should be promiscous and should have orgies with many men

>everyone is married to each other
>stacy continues to fuck chad

Marriage and monogamy was created to socialize pussy. Otherwise the majority of men have no stake in the tribe and would opt out of any work or run in a crisis.

Probably not. It's important to note that nearly all of the history we read from ancient rome was written by the senatorial class and as such their writings were heavily influenced by the relationship between the emperor and the Senate.

As such, emperors who openly disregarded and/or disdained the senate and their friends were made cartoonishly evil.

In reality, we know Nero was unpopular and he was most likely a selfish asshole on a power trip. I can't imagine giving teenager ultimate power to the single greatest state in the world at the time. But the whole 'started the great fire to make room for his ebin construction project', take it with some healthy skepticism.

Same goes for Caligula, Commodus, etc. The only emperor I can think of that openly conflicted with the Senate and didn't get slandered hard was Hadrian and that was really only thanks to the influence of Antoninus Pius. He was given the name Pius for defending Hadrian from the Senate's bullshit.

>>2699165
To add to this, nowhere is the slanted bias of ancient historians more apparent than in their writings of Domitian.

From everything we can tell about his reign he was a ruthless autocrat but he was ultimately a stable, efficient ruler who was popular amongst the people. His only apparent flaw is he wasn't his brother Titus.

Yet he's written about as a paranoid despot by the senatorial class.

Same with Muhammad during 7th century Arabia.

>>2699134
Not the best comparison.

Muhammad held huge political power once he and the nascent Muslims moved to Yathrib and then conquered Makkah.

Christians did not hold any political power till the conversion of Armenia.
