In our University, Archaeology students have to go through one year of Latin and one year of Ancient Greek.
For the next two years of their Bachelor's degree they focus on different subjects instead.
But it sounds tremendously stupid to have them just learn the basics of each language, and for what exactly?
Is there something to it I am missing out, or is it really that simple and stupid?

What university?
Also i don't think you realize how much it would take to learn perfectly both Latin and Ancient Greek.
>>
>>3328774
It's the biggest university in Bulgaria, Sofia.
I do understand the material for First-Year latin students, and I honestly don't think they'll ever use it for anything of importance.
>>
>>3328784
Well the basic courses in ancient languages are meant to provide you with just that - the basics.
Later on when they specialize in a certain field and progress further in their education they'll most likely have to further their studies in languages, usually on MA or PhD courses.

Why did we stop fighting communism after the fall of the Soviet Union? Why did we allow communism to grow in our universities? We spent decades dropping bombs on communists and trying to remove them from our society, but today no one gives a single fuck that people are flying hammer and sickle flags in our streets.

The best way to support liberty and conservative ideals is to let people see a glimpse of the alternative.
One of the main reasons I think socialist Sanders lost was because of what state socialist Venezuela is in.
Same reason I think we need to let anti fa burn everyone up. Best way to help our cause is to just let the left be there left.

Is an imageboard an inherently bad format to discuss history and the humanities?
If so, what about it is it that makes discussion so bad?
What can be done by the users to improve it?
What can be done by the administration to improve it?

Yahweh, Lord of Hosts was pretty strong. He created the Jewish master race, carried out ethnic genocide to give them a homeland, made all other gods irrelevant and didn't afraid of nothing.

Did any ancient civilizations besides Rome organize their standing army into permanent formations like the legions? It seems like Rome is the only power which organized troops on that basis until you get into the era of pike & shot.
By permanent formations, I don't mean identical to Rome's force structure, but a system of permanent divisions like "I Legion, II Legion, III Legion" as opposed to forming up armies on an ad-hoc basis. I know powers like Persia and China had large and well-organized standing armies, but I don't see much reference to a divisional structure. Did they have one?

They also have literally more Greek temples than Mainland Greece and Syracuse was bigger than Athens, they also created Hellenistic poets and other important figures

How do I cope with the bullshit that permeates everything in modern society?
People tell you that you should read shitloads of boring as fuck novels. I see novels as entertainment, not some tool for gaining "profound philosophical and psychological insights". You can make infinitely many unfalsifiable extrapolations by using anything. People, usually charlatanic academics or pseudointellectuals, choose pompous books for this purpose to try and deter questioning of their pathetic "wisdom". Or if the books aren't used to promote"insights" they are used as alleged evidence of good taste or intellect. And not only are you pressured to pretend to like boring as fuck classic books, it is looked down upon to just go and read them. You have to pretend to have almost randomly come across them. Of course this propaganda tactic is to promote the false idea that the pseudo intellectuals' judgement was not influence by other pseudointellectuals.
Similarly with philosophy. I clearly see that there are infinitely many possible philosophical axioms. Everything from there is pretty fucking trivial. And no, I don't put science on a pedestal separate from Hegelian bullshit or anything like that. I see that science is part of philosophy. The promotion of certain parts of philosophy is based solely on arbitrary fashions.

I keep seeing traitors and neo-Nazis making reference to a group called the Focus who allegedly had Winston Churchill in their pocket before the war. I can't find any reference to them anywhere other than on pro-Nazi sites however. Is there any actual evidence that the Focus existed or is it purely a neo-Nazi fabrication?
