Because cultural anthro is more fun

Today, I broke one of my plates trying to dry it because I'm a clumsy fuck. I would never be able to meticulously brush away dirt off of some artifact without smashing priceless historical stuff.

Because I am not autistic

I would say Stalin would be executed and so would much of the government and military officials

>I'm just wondering, if Germans actually conquered Moscow, how would they treat the Soviet government

They woudln't even if Moscow fell unless omething seriously bizarre happened. Taking of a city, even a realatively smallish and undergarrisoned city a la Minsk, was the task of a week in optimal conditions. Moscow would have been enormously tougher to crack, and attempting to do so would have taken months at least.

So yes, while Stalin almost certainly would have been executed if the Germans got their hands on him, they have these things called trains that can get him to Kuybuyshev with the rest of the evacuated government should things get too hot.

Stalin's son Yakov was captured by the Germans as a Red Army soldier. He died in a concentration camp in 1943.

It incorporates elements from both, but it's more than just a simple union of the two.

modern islam isn't but mecca is believed to be an old pagan site yes

>>2527607
Islam is reformist strict monotheist eastern Christianity without Greco-Roman Paganism which infects Christianity

>Semitic Paganism
Itself dilution from ancient Semitic Monotheism, which Christianity and Islam restore
EL / YAHWEH has always been the supreme god before Bal etc. appears and act as intermediary gods

Yes because circle jerking over Rome and Prussia was the right move. Not to mention that for a "History" board the main topics are usually Rome, France, and WW1&2

I like him. He has the best naturalistic theory of religion around, that's for sure.

I'm presuming a good number of people can have information on the pre WWII period.

Why, you could be one of them!

first mention of lithuania is from 11 century and they have rich history of being junior partner in PLC
but i agree that the other two are non countries

Jesus. Those guys were brutal. Can't blame the Spanish for killing them.

>>2527748
The other way around, the Spanish gave the Tlaxcalans privileges for helping them to kill the Aztecs.

The level of hagiography surrounding this man is amazing.

Homer? Cervantes? Dante?

Not one iota. I mean for starters, I'm assuming you're putting Jesus as #1 because of the development of Christianity and everything that comes with it. Except Jesus was a relatively minor figure, all things considered, in the rise of Christainity to world prominence. Paul has a MUCH bigger part, so by all rights should occupy a much larger role.

Then there's the fact that many of the people listed are in there when far greater figures existed. You have literally nobody from the Roman civilization, despite the profound impact it had on the world. You have none of the explorers or patrons of explorers of the Age of Sail and all the discovery and trade and literally world-shattering consequences that had. You serioulsy want to imply that a figure of African-American race relations had world prominence? Moreso than someone like Prince Henry the Navigator? Why is Einstein and his work on photovoltaics and relativity more important than say Newton, whose work on physics has affected everything from that point onward, or to the sort of scientist/philosophers like Bacon or Empiricus whose work led us to having the scientific method at all?


Your list is utter, utter shit, even in terms of importance.

Admiral Rickover

>>2527183
Here's a scholarly review from the Journal of Chemical Education;

>I spent much of my early life (when I was not feeding my Tamagotchi) in perennial wait for the next installment of Jean Auel’s Earth’s Children series, so I was eager to read Yval Noah Harari’s Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind. I looked forward to a description of the crucial shifts that occurred to bring Homo sapiens from hunter-gatherers to today’s city dwellers, grounded in up-to-date research. It also had great reviews, a 4.5-star rating and it was on Amazon’s Best Book of the Month list when I selected it. The first part of the book did not disappoint; I was captivated by the descriptions of how early humans interacted with prehistoric Earth. Harari describes how humans gained dominion over other species, ascribing this achievement to the “cognitive revolution”. The second part of the book describes the “agricultural revolution”, as humans abandoned their nomadic lifestyles and settled into farming communities. This was followed by the “scientific revolution”.

>In the first part, Harari presents conflicting theories and weighs in with his own voice as to which seems best supported by the available evidence. Each chapter ends with questions and cliffhangers, spurring the reader forward into the next. As the human story progresses, there are fewer citations and more statements that left me scratching my head. For example, Harari describes China as accepting the culture of “former Western overlords”. Another story Harari relates is about Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin carrying a Native American tribal message with them to the moon. A quick Google search revealed this account was first relayed by Johnny Carson in his Tonight Show monologue.

>Later in the book, he contrasted the ancient remedy for chapped hands rubbing them with olive oil to the modern solution that the scientific revolution has provided us, listing the chemical names for the ingredients in hand cream. However, the first five ingredients listed after water are present in olive oil! This type of rhetoric only serves to promote chemophobia and mistrust of science, and seems more appropriate for a blog touting the latest “natural” remedy for measles.

>After reviewing our progress in the context of these revolutions, Hariri offers his comments on whether we, as individuals, are happier since they have occurred, and makes predictions about how science and technology will propel the continued evolution of Homo sapiens. However, the undocumented claims and nonsequiturs of Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind interrupted my journey through the text like speed bumps in a residential neighborhood. I reached the end, but because Hariri had lost nearly all credibility at that point, his conclusions bounced off me like a stone off a windshield.

neptune confirmed pussy?

for latin america, the 20th century was the century of strongmen politicians. for that kind of polity, you need to create enemies everywhere to unite your people.

all of those countries had foreign powers intervene in their affairs throughout the entirety of their history -- not too easy to be stable when people with x10 your economy are destabilising you on purpose.

finally, after being corporate proxies for their entire history, they settled into the great gig of being cold war proxy war hosts.

now the area is garbage (which the exception of panama, a US puppet, and Costa Rica)
