If Islamic rule Was so brutal and oppressive as historic revisionists say why do so many meme religions exist in their lands compared to Europe.

not to mention Christian sects and Zoroastrians still exist there. Wen was the last time you saw a genuine Pagan in Europe
On a similar note... here's an official ranking of Caliphates:

Maybe because europeans need some other to be evil in order for they to not look thaaaaat evil.
Aso you forgot to mention convivencia, and they preserved , commented, and developend on the works of acient greeks, while europeans burned em.

Why did the Nazis steal so much art?
>>2548712
Because it's valuable.
>>2548712
because it's pretty
Multiple potential reasons.
To sell it.
To preserve it in the face of Soviet-style postmodernist destruction of art considered bourgeois and old.
To keep it in safe hands during the razing of Europe.
I've been writing about the fall of Constantinople and its significance for the past 6 hours ask me anything /r/history
So what was all the hubbub about?
>>2548612
Why were all those artists and protoscientists so inbred and useless in Constantinople, but were able to spark the Renaissance when they fled to Italy? And if the Byzantine remnant was so shit, why didn't they leave sooner?
>>2548619
Not much really depending on who you ask. Contrarians believe that it just gave clear definition to growing ottoman supremacy but others act like it was the 9/11 of the 1400's
>>2548627
idk why dont you ask them. Maybe it's because the empire was pretty useless at this point and even monks on mount athos knew the emperor couldnto do shit so all those intellectuals and artists didnt have funding or whatever. The italian states had been getting rich for ages and the renaissance had been going on there since like the 1300s
I think its like when you have a room full of everyone doing the same thing no one is special, but if you invade that room full of muslims they'll all die or go to another room where their talent is unique
Which Christian denomination is the closest to the actual teachings of Jesus?
>>2548584
Messianic Judaism.
>>2548584
There is no evidence whatsoever that Jesus ever recorded anything that could be considered 'his teachings'. The entire New Testament writings are directly attributed to others. Most of it being written by 'Paul - whoever he was........ supposedly 'in the name of jesus' whatever the fuck that means.
most of what the West acknowledges regarding the New Testament is Paul's teachings after Jesus allegedly was killed.
>>2548584
>closest to the actual teachings of Jesus?
Impossible to know that. However, the likes of the Antioch, Melkite, and Syriac Orthodox churches are probably the closest we have to the early Christians.
Were they really all that bad or is it just modern media pandering to Native Americans?

Depends on the school.
Some where hell on Earth. Others were better than what American children were getting. The vast majority were "y'know essentially kidnapping children is bad, even if you are doing it to give them an education and because the Democrats want to kill off Indians".
Depends on how much of a reactionary you are. It's funny how liberals are vehemently opposed to any White reactionarism but orgasm at the notion of Brown, Black and Red reactionarism.
>People will stop obsessing over Hitler within our lifetime

Feels good man.
no they won't, Hitler got his own world wide religion by now in which he is the supreme satan and to which everything you find bad can be connected

The North Korean regime will fall in the next one or two decades, their crimes will be fully revealed then they will replace the Nazis as the ultimate bad guys.

The destruction of the library of Alexandria

what was even good about the western empire?
>Finkelstein and Silberman argue that instead of the Israelites conquering Canaan after the Exodus (as suggested by the book of Joshua), most of them had in fact always been there; the Israelites were simply Canaanites who developed into a distinct culture.[20] Recent surveys of long-term settlement patterns in the Israelite heartlands show no sign of violent invasion or even peaceful infiltration, but rather a sudden demographic transformation about 1200 BCE in which villages appear in the previously unpopulated highlands; these settlements have a similar appearance to modern Bedouin camps, suggesting that the inhabitants were once pastoral nomads, driven to take up farming by the Late Bronze Age collapse of the Canaanite city-culture.
>Although the book of Samuel, and initial parts of the books of Kings, portray Saul, David and Solomon ruling in succession over a powerful and cosmopolitan united kingdom of Israel and Judah, Finkelstein and Silberman regard modern archaeological evidence as showing that this may not be true. Archaeology instead shows that in the time of Solomon, the northern kingdom of Israel was quite small, too poor to be able to pay for a vast army, and with too little bureaucracy to be able to administer a kingdom, certainly not an empire; it only emerged later, around the beginning of the 9th century BCE, in the time of Omri. There is little to suggest that Jerusalem, called by the Bible David's capital, was "perhaps not more than a typical hill country village" during the time of David and of Solomon, and Judah remained little more than a sparsely populated rural region, until the 8th century BCE.
Is the Old Testament basically the biggest WE WUZ in human history?

Philistines didn't have that kind of helmet but the famous feathered cap one

>Is the Old Testament basically the biggest WE WUZ in human history?
There is a lot of competition for that title, but the OT is full of wewuzzery, sure. But I mean, so is Greek mythology. Just because the world is still full of retards who actually believe one and not the other doesn't make it inherently worse.

Did the Homo Sapien Sapien evolve from the Homo Heidelbergensis?
>>2547656
wtf is that thing? Proto-homonids weren't black.
That's the ugliest thing i've ever seen holy shit. It even has Indian hair.
>>2547656
No, H. Heidelbergensis were an offshoot that went no where or possibly became the Neanderthals. Humans most likely evolved from H. Erectus.
>>2547656
Does not pertain to history (human evolution is pre-historical) or humanities (liberal arts).

How really big the USA's industrial output compared to each other single participant in WW2?
>>2547413
http://www.combinedfleet.com/economic.htm
>>2547413
A magnitude of ten.
Americans tend to have a vested interest in minimising that power disparity so they can pretend that the Pacific War was some noble relatively balanced power struggle.
>>2547413
the US did possess the lion's share of all production in WW2, with the only nation who could even the ballpark of production in any area was the USSR, who only managed to outproduce the US in number of tanks.
looking at just land force materiel, the US produced just about double what all the Axis powers could produce combined, and that's ignoring Naval and Air production.
