Can someone educate me on Ming military? I realize it's a little /k/-related, but the only "historical facts" I can find are from fricken Deadliest Warrior.

Well, you can't really compare ancient history military with modern military, it's just too different and complex.
When it comes to modern history personally i'd give it to Manstein

Who was in the wrong here?

According to a Christian friend of mine there is more evidence that Jesus Christ existed than there is that Julius Caesar existed. Tell me /his/ is there any truth to such a claim?

Do we have any first hand sources of Jesus. Do have an account written by Jesus himself. Do we have a death mask. Do we have many monuments from their own time. Do we have records talking about Jesus. Was Jesus at the center of one of the most famous civil wars in history.
>>
No that's retarded, we have writings by Julius Caesar.
If he were to say that we have chronologically closer evidence that Jesus existed than we do for the likes of Hannibal or Boudicca or Alexander then he'd be right. I think that's probably what your friend was going for but got their ancient characters mixed up.
Of course the whole thing is retarded because contemporary evidence for historical figures doesn't start to become common until the 13th century, but that doesn't mean there's a case you can make for them being made up.
No serious historian doubts the existence of any of these people, so it's a bit of a moot point.

The whole thing about being a blue eyed/blonde haired Germanic is just nazi pseudoscience that only retarded neo nazis believe. You didn't any of that shit to be Aryan, being aryan isn't based on genetics or racial groupings. It's a language and cultural group. So yeah, the Iranians of today are quite literally Aryans and looked no different than the ancient Persians.

Was Hamilton really an immigrant? The musical really pushes the idea that he was one, but I'm pretty sure he just moved from one British territory to another. (Lafayette was probably an immigrant.)
Come to think of it, what was considered an immigrant at that time?

Not sure about that.

Probably less. You can stab through scale mail by stabbing upwards through the plate connections; lamellar is layered in a way that makes it less vulnerable to stabs. There's a reason lamellar was more popular, particularly in later periods (where it actually replaced scale armor).

>Sankara seized power in a 1983 popularly supported coup at the age of 33, with the goal of eliminating corruption and the dominance of the former French colonial power. He immediately launched one of the most ambitious programmes for social and economic change ever attempted on the African continent. To symbolize this new autonomy and rebirth, he renamed the country from the French colonial Upper Volta to Burkina Faso ("Land of Upright Man"). His foreign policies were centered on anti-imperialism, with his government eschewing all foreign aid, pushing for odious debt reduction, nationalizing all land and mineral wealth, and averting the power and influence of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and World Bank. His domestic policies were focused on preventing famine with agrarian self-sufficiency and land reform, prioritizing education with a nationwide literacy campaign, and promoting public health by vaccinating 2.5 million children against meningitis, yellow fever, and measles.
>Sankara was assasinated in 1987, his body was dismembered and he was quickly buried in an unmarked grave, while his widow Mariam and two children fled the nation. Blaise Compaoré, the coup perpetrator, immediately reversed the nationalizations, overturned nearly all of Sankara's policies, rejoined the International Monetary Fund and World Bank to bring in "desperately needed" funds to restore the “shattered” economy, and ultimately spurned most of Sankara's legacy. Compaoré's dictatorship remained in power for 27 years, until it was overthrown by popular protests in 2014.

You forgot to read the rest:
>The Timna Valley contains evidence of copper mining in 7000–5000 BCE. The process of transition from Neolithic to Chalcolithic in the Middle East is characterized in archaeological stone tool assemblages by a decline in high quality raw material procurement and use. This dramatic shift is seen throughout the region, including the Tehran Valley, Iran. Here, analysis of six archaeological sites determined a marked downward trend in not only material quality, but also in aesthetic variation in the lithic artefacts. Fazeli et al. use these results as evidence of the loss of craft specialisation caused by increased use of copper tools.
