Communism sounds good in theory but in practice it ended up killing millions. Simply put it goes against human nature.

For the same reason they have more gender-appropriate clothes that are meant to be expressive and pretty, rather than easy to wear or work in. Keeping long hair tidy was something working men often couldn't afford the time to do.
In some places today, women might cut their hair short and men may let it grow long, but not around these parts; see the tchambuli, for instance.
And noblemen used to wear long wigs, while noblewomen used to wear tall wigs.

Generally speaking, more fertile women have faster-growing hair. Men only know this on a primal level.
>>
There are two options. Short hair and long hair. Men typical cut it shorter for practicality reasons.

Title:
My mind always gets blown from seeing really old things up close, just imagining how someone wore that armour or shot this gun 50,80,1000s of years ago never fails to impress me.
That being said I'm wondering what museum's or historical sites have you visited (or want to) that left you with butterflies in your stomach at how much history was there.
Thanks!

My grandma use to have a picture of her travels through india wielding a machete to which I managed to get a replica of when I was young like 11 years old, I'd hack up the bamboo in the neighbours back yard with it till that fucker went so dull you couldn't slice toast with it. Good times.

Washington DC and London Museums were top tier

I went out of country for the first time last year to England, and even after the Tower of London, Edinburgh castle, etc, the London Wall really awoke feels in me.

What have you learned from your time as a /his/torian? Can be anything. Interesting anecdotes, personal revelations, relationship advice; anything that learning /his/tory has taught you in this day and age.
My 2 cents:
>Human nature exists, and it is really quite predictable
>History really DOES repeat itself
>It only repeats itself because, as I mentioned before, human nature exists, and it's also predictable
>Anytime anyone ever asks "what timeline would you want to be in?" always, always, ALWAYS say "the future"

>In his youth, Hitler served as an altar boy and sung in the choir at a Benedictine monastery. Each day, attending mass, he passed beneath the first swastika he had ever seen, graven into the stone escutcheon of the abbey portal.
>Hitler’s father, a customs officer, hoped the boy would follow in his footsteps and become a civil servant. The clergy encouraged him to become a monk. Instead the young Hitler went to Vienna.
>In Vienna, Hitler lived in shabby, cramped lodgings. He rented a piano that took up half his room, and concentrated on composing his opera. During his early days in Munich, he spent no more than a mark per day for food. He lived on bread, milk, and vegetable soup. He did not even own an over-coat. He shoveled streets on snowy days and carried luggage at the railway station. He spent many weeks in shelters for the homeless. But he never stopped painting or reading.
>Despite his dire poverty, Hitler somehow managed to maintain a clean appearance. Landlords and landladies in Vienna and Munich all remembered him for his civility and pleasant disposition. His behavior was impeccable. His room was always spotless, his meager belongings meticulously arranged, and his clothes neatly hung or folded. He washed and ironed his own clothes, something which in those days few men did. He needed almost nothing to survive, and money from the sale of a few paintings was sufficient to provide for all his needs.
>During his exile in Vienna, he often thought of his modest home, and particularly of his mother. When she fell ill, he returned home from Vienna to look after her. For weeks he nursed her, did all the household chores, and supported her as the most loving of sons. When she finally died, on Christmas eve, his pain was immense. Wracked with grief, he buried his mother in the little country cemetery. In his room, Hitler always displayed an old photograph of his mother, and cherished her memory throughout his life.

it traded north and south to genocide west, which was one direction (into the mountains), if it went north south it would have turned into a backwashed shit show with indians continually strengthening from a pocket position.

Was the lack of support from western nations for his actions a mistake?
It seems that given more support, he could've easily hit the Turks harder than Poles did, and effectively stopped their lust for expansion.

I think you overestimate the amount of /care western nations had when it came to Ottomans and the Balkan.
The only people who ended up giving a shit were Mediterranean naval powers and the Habsburg lads whose backyard was invaded.

WRONG. A text that was written before the birth of Western Civilization cannot be attributed to said civilization, do we agree on that?
