Why do Nordicucks still try to LARP as Egyptians, Assyrians, Sumerians, Mycenaean, etc?
There is literally no longer any debate in the academic community over the ethnicity of these civilizations. You only really need to look at the art and the local climate, but DNA evidence proves they weren't northern European.
There's no difference between what /pol/acks are doing, and the WE WUZ PHAROES N SHEEEEIT
/Pol/ basically takes stuff like the blonde Tarim mummies in China and stuff like Ramesses the Great being red haired as evidence of Varg's retarded we wuz claim that whites started all non- European civilizations. It's just as cherry picked as the kang stuff. The lightest skinned Ancient Egyptians were basically like modern day Levantines and Berbers, and the blackest ones were probably similar to modern day Upper Egyptians and Nubians. Egyptian sources even imply that aristocratic women who rarely went out into the sun were fair skinned, but the average man was "reddish" in skin color. I also think Herodotus basically called Egyptians most similar to lighter skinned Northern Indians, and Nubians and Ethiopians similar to dark skinned southern Indians. Which kinda correlates with modern day Egypt.
This is why education should be free, universal, compulsory and lifelong so history can be taught properly with true sources of authority that have been approved.
Egyptians were black the meme is dumb
What the fuck happened here? Look at this mess.

Why did my professor show us a documentary about post-war Germans being made by Americans to face the consequences of the Nazi party and bury the Jews killed in the Holocaust when all death camps were in Soviet-occupied territory? Am I missing something?
Probably because the Holocaust is a controversial subject.
>>2679568
It's not the Soviets who were running the camps lmao
>>2679579

Could I have a quick run down on Islamic rule over Iberia? Could it have been sustained? And how would European history have been different without Castile and Aragon leading Spain?
>>2679538
they were kicked out by brave christian warriors.
>Could it have been sustained?
Not in the long term.
>And how would European history have been different without Castile and Aragon leading Spain?
Not much. The history of the New World would have been a bit different, probably.

Why would God create the moon as a light in the night when it only shines like half a month? Doesn't that defeat the purpose? Is God lazy?
>>2679280
God created checks and balances.
In the dark night, moon light is created to give hope.
In the bright sun, darkness lurks as a reminder of evils of the world.
>>2679285
Wow

Ignore these people and learn about gnosticism.
All the best things in many British cities are Victorian era or early 20th century. Libraries, galleries, museums - things meant to educate and improve society, and built to last.
When and why was the idea of moral and intellectual improvement for individuals and society given up on?
>>2679132
That library had to have 5 years worth of work recently done on it to keep it going. It finished like 2 years ago. We keep these buildings going by force of fucking will. Same with the Manchester museum.
t. lives in Manchester.

>When and why was the idea of moral and intellectual improvement for individuals and society given up on?
It never was. The fetishism Americans have for helicopter parenting is borne from it. But it expresses itself in different ways: two centuries ago, if you wanted to educate a populace quickly you had to build a giant library and pay to have books copied. More recently the government chose to standardize all K12 education (even down to weekly exams) as a means of most efficiently generating intellectual improvement.
Which is to say, times change and the requirements for educational facilities do as well. It makes sense to have a big grand brick library, because it can't burn down. At my old school they dumped all the books and replaced it with a computer lab, which is now used at capacity because so many parents force their kids into accelerated hybrid classes. Did some people cry when all the books were dumped? Sure they did, but those people were all the old union teachers who will be retired in ten years.
>>2679181
I went to Manchester for uni. The library is truly fantastic.
Other than denial and accusations of racism, how do muscucks deal with the fact that Muhammed could not have been from Arabia based on historic evidence? Some major points to consider:
1. The koran describes the landscape were Muhammed preached as one where wheat, grapes, olives, and date palms are grown. Olives couldn't have been grown in Mecca, and the combination of wheat, grapes, and olives strongly suggests that it must have been somewhere more mediterranean, but southerly enough for dates to be grown. Certainly it can't be describing Arabia.
2. The koran, more than once, describes the people it is being recited to as living within site of a vanished nation that was destroyed by god. It also references that the place has the ruins of Lot's people, which means it is Sodom and Gomorrah, which places the region of the koran's composition and events near the dead sea, also not Arabia.
3. Inner Arabia was virgin territory where there were virtually no jews or christians, but the koran addresses jews and christians (as well as 'polytheists') and sees them as a significant people in that region of the world. In addition, the claim that there was trade contact (as was later claimed) with such people still does not satisfactorily explain how everyone, even the polytheists, seem to be deeply familiar with those faiths. The preaching having occurred outside Arabia neatly explains it.
Based on this evidence, the words of the man himself, it's likely that Muhammed was born and preached in perhaps Palestine or Syria, not Arabia. That means that the stories about Muhammed, all of which were written after his death, are mostly false and that the koran itself was likely a text that evolved over time, perhaps being written by several different people and likely not even in Arabic (e.g. some of the sources would certainly have been written in Syriac). Obviously, this seriously undermines the claim that the koran is the perfect and unchanging word of god.

There were jews in Arabia.

That is, what is at stake between realism and anti-realism?
>>2678975
normies use words like truth, objectivity and necessity to get people to agree with them. there is nothing else in these words

Why should i believe you?
>>2678975
Philosophers usually argue for positions they think give a correct account of things. Philosophers usually value a correct account more than an incorrect one.
