>In various languages the Holy Roman Empire was known as: Latin: Sacrum Imperium Romanum, German: Heiliges Römisches Reich, Italian: Sacro Romano Impero, Czech: Svatá říše římská, Slovene: Sveto rimsko cesarstvo, Dutch: Heilige Roomse Rijk, French: Saint-Empire romain germanique.
>Before 1157, the realm was merely referred to as the Roman Empire. The term sacrum ("holy", in the sense of "consecrated") in connection with the medieval Roman Empire was used beginning in 1157, under Frederick I Barbarossa ("Holy Empire") – the term was added to reflect Frederick's ambition to dominate Italy and the Papacy; the form "Holy Roman Empire" is attested from 1254 onward

HRE is the most interesting political construct of the entire medieval Europe. So many entities from feudal Dukes to city states to cleric states, from Bohemia to Italy from Switzerland to Poland.

Dare I say it, HRE was the center of Europe!

>Italy never actually lost a World War
>BTFO'd Turks out of Libya in the Italo-Turkish War
>Lombards BTFO'd the Unholy Unroman Unempire in the late 12th century and made the Italian city-states effectively independent from them
>Lombards made some great armors and weapons that rivaled what the G*rmans had
>Genoa and Venice were great maritime/military powers of the time that dominated both the East and West Med seas
>Italian city-states were very important to the crusades
>Venetians BTFO'd both the Byzantines and Turks in the Fourth Crusade, Battle of Galipoli, Battle of Lepanto, etc and managed to prevent Ottomans from expanding into the Mediterranean completely by cockblocking them with a literal coastal wall
Remind me why does the meme of Italians being bad at war exist again? Is it just Nordcuck butthurt?

Not an argument.
why does everyone hate the Anzacs now? in Australia all people learn about them in high school now is how much of a failure they were and how they were overrated and weren't really all that brave or noble

Really? That's too bad.
Sounds like some shitty self-hating historical revisionism.
How about they were brave patriots who gave the ultimate sacrifice when asked to serve by their country?
That's a lot better.

>why does everyone hate the Anzacs now
No. Fuck no.
>in Australia all people learn about them in high school now is how much of a failure they were
Forget Anzac Day assemblies, literally any class on the ANZACs is basically a ten minute run down on Gallipolli and then a twenty minute spiel on how they were the best soldiers on the Western Front and the British had to put them on the back bench by the end of the war because they were exhausted from all the ass-whopping in Flanders.
The best ANZAC day ceremony I've been to had the Turkish ambassador read Ataturk's address on the ANZACs in Turkish and English. They're getting more and more recognition every year and I'm glad to see it isn't just an "Australia FUCK YEAH" flag waving fest or a "Poor Aussies were the only victims of the war" sook. The good, the bad and the ugly should all be recognised.
>>
>>2602680
Here in Britain we are taught the opposite, that the ANZACS were brave and even heroic.

Its good, if you have doubts look into their academic papers that they based the book on, they are respected in academia too
My main problem with the book aside from a few historical inacurracies and the obvious difficulties of using one theory to explain so much was just the length of it, a good editor could've made it much more concise

Negative in Mediterranean Europe. Positive in Northern Europe because it was the only way to stop snowniggers from being savages.
>>
>>2602481
Despite it being the cause of most wars and despair in Europe it shaped western civilization so I'd say a net positive.

I dont want to die im scared /his/ this late night existential dread is killing me. It's fucking 4 in the morning and i cant sleep because of the dread of living without doing anything notable in my life. I dont want to live in this bubble of suburbia. These walls are suffocating me. I feel like a caged bird. I work a dead end job that pays like shit and is killing me. Idont feel like a person anymore. I dont want to die. Idont want to die.

Aside from the "stories" of a great flood, and the evidence supporting a comet strike causing a very rapid rise in sea level from glacial meltwater at the end of the last ice age, the only references that I'm familiar with are from the "Triano Document" from central America and Plato's account of Solon of Athens who was shown a pillar documenting Egyptian History which stated that it existed.
What the exact nature of this antediluvian civilization was, what they believed, what their language was, and what they looked like are all speculation at this point. It's possible that a portion of Prephonecian/Proto-Hebrew language and writing originated there; but the scraps of history merely hint as to what the nature of its existence was.
In all likely hood the fiction and speculation we have regarding Atlantis and it's underlying architectural/worldwide influence is probably much less interesting then the speculation we have regarding the issue. Probably.
