which one's the food court where all the weeaboos and stoners gather around
Not technically ancient but
>After we had sufficiently gazed upon this magnificent picture, we again turned our eyes toward the great market, and beheld the vast numbers of buyers and sellers who thronged there. The bustle and noise occasioned by this multitude of human beings was so great that it could be heard at a distance of more than four miles. Some of our men, who had been at Constantinople and Rome, and travelled through the whole of Italy, said that they never had seen a market-place of such large dimensions, or which was so well regulated, or so crowded with people as this one at Mexico.

but anon there are christians in Egypt

Not for much longer
You fucked it up.
>the British had Jerusalem, and all of the holy land and they fucking gave it to the Jews
Now there's something to rage about.
Why is the Nazi genocide against the Roma people so ignored? Why do the Roma remain marginalized in European society?
who?
>>2696052
Because gypsies are one of the few ethnicities that actually deserved it and still do. They are a backwards, heathen people.
>>2696052
Basically all non-Roma think the Roma deserve it, but people are more sympathetic to Jews.
How bad was it, REALLY?
>>2696049
Not that bad really you paid taxes based on your income to your local lord who in turn paid to the king. If your local lord was cruel you where fucked if he wasn't you where good. So basicly same as today instead you where landbound
>>2696049
that pic is bullshit.
I'm not even talking about feudal europe. his analogy doesn't make sense.

>>2696049
Not bad in Western Europe, but it basically got worse the farther east you went. Russian serfs were borderline slaves.
ITT: historical revealing/lewd clothing or lack of throughout history.
Concepts of lewdness are social constructs. Throughout most of history girls went topless and no one batted an eye.
Am I the only one who misses loinclothes?
They're just so...lewd.
Could you imagine being in a Roman bathouse and noticing GAIVS AVLIVS QVINTVS with his ripped abs and glistening pectorals? Then immediately going up to him, dropping to your knees, and beginning the process of fellatio?
I envy the Romans.
>>2696025
Then show me pics
Crusader kings 2 players should know about that "Zun" religion in the game. Representing the last Afghanistan pagans.
What do we actually know about these peoples religion? It has something to do with the sun.
>>2695821
>It has something to do with the sun.
How do you know?
>>2695973
Zun is a sun god.
>>2695821
anyone who knows where the buff for heavy infantry comes from?
is it just a reference to the sun worshiper from dark soul being clad in plate armor?
Who exactly were the Yuezhi?
>>2695728
An African tribe that migrated around Asia during antiquity.
Some say that Alexander the Great was a direct ancestor of one of these African warrior tribesman through a mercenary hired by a Macedonian king, who was made a cuckold by this mercenary.

Why was everybody so fucking mean to them?
>be Polish
>be hundreds of years ahead of the rest of Europe in terms of civil liberties to the point where when the Enlightenment happens you basically don't even give a shit
>save Western Europe from Ottoman oppression
>do basically no harm to any of the nations around you
>create Prussia even though it's Protestant and you're literally the most devoutly Catholic people ever but you don't give a shit because religious tolerance has been part of your culture for centuries
>get all your shit stolen by Sweden
>get fucked by Russia
>get fucked by Prussia
>get fucked by Prussia, Russia, and Austria
>become independent
>Germany fucks you, destroys all your cities
>Russia fucks you, then builds a bunch of god awful ugly shit to replace all the shit the Germans broke
>become independent again
>everybody laughs at you for being poor
Success breeds envy. Especially from the Swedeshits.
Surrounded by cunts, to this day they have shit reputation because of nazi propaganda which interestingly enough is repeated by their fucking american ''allies''. To think about it everything amerisharts know about WWII comes from nazi propaganda
>it took 4 Shermans to take down one Tiger ;)
>russians just zerg rushed
>Waffen SS was the best of the best
What are the best commentaries of military strategy in the great war? I've recently breezed through the excellent west point atlas/analysis of the war and want more.
>>2695510
There's a youtube channel simply called "The Great War" which is fantastic.
>>2695514
Holy shit this is /his/ right here. The first post unironically recommends a youtube channel.
>>2695528
yeah seriously,do you illiterates only listen to podcasts and youtube vids?
I have this globe from the early 1970s and on it Albania owns some of Kosovo. Is it just a mistake, or did Albania actually control parts of kosovo during the 70s?
OP, look how shitty the borders on that globe are, and then look back at Albania.
You know the answer to your question now.
>Romania is walnut shaped
>>2695413
Albania never owned any part of Kosovo.
>>2695413
No, it's just weirdly, inaccurately shaped. Also, it looks more like Albania owns the western part of Macedonia.
The title says it all: do you /his/torians know any "stupid" or "funny" war? Pic unrelated
>>2695388
Greece and Bulgaria started a war in 1925 over a stray dog. Obviously resentments from WWI were a major factor, but it's literally called "War of the Stray Dog".
>>2695395
>War of the Stray Dog

What are some good /his/ related youtube channels and why should I watch them?
>>2695114
none.
>>2695114
First you have the animated mappers who help put geography and history together:
*EmperorTigerstar
*OllieBye
*Suomi
*Historical Map Animator
*TheTerrorByte
"The Great War" is specific to WWI.
Next are some LARPy medieval/ancient guys:
*Metatron
*ScholaGladiatoria
*Lindybeige
*TheignThrand
*Skallagrim
*Roland Warzecha
Some good linguistics channels:
*Langfocus
*LatinTutorial
*NativLang
>>2695380
You forgot GalacticPenguinTV on mappers.
How come none of these guys ever tried colonizing Australia?
Why would they? Nothing of value
Why didn't everyone just colonise everywhere?
>>2694985
Bear in mind that the north of Australia is pretty uninhabitable. Most anybody who sailed over there from Southeast Asia would find it complete shit and either die or decide it's not worth colonising.
What is the task of philosophy in the 21st century?
Pic unrelated
Probably reconcile itself with modern advances in science, and establish itself as something worthwhile now that a single branch of it has become so dominant. Remember that modern science was basically the dream and goal of philosophy.
>>2694684
This post is disgusting.
>>2694690
It's true, though.
How do we protect the common man from the tyranny of the powerful?
Enforcement of a universal slave morality
>>2694629
what happens when the slaves reject it?
>>2694571
Might is majority is consensus.
