Xenophanes stated:
Mortals deem that the gods are begotten as they are,
and have clothes like theirs, and voice and form... Ethiopians say that their gods are snubnosed and black
Thracians that they are pale and red-haired."
And he was writing at a time when many of the Greek gods, and many "godlike" heroes of their legends were described as golden or fair haired, and light or grey eyed.
So, that being said, if the Greeks worshipped fair haired, light eyed gods, and Xenophanes observed that different people's fashion their gods after themselves, what are we to make of this?
Is this not indication that the Greeks (at least their ruling elite) were of a more northerly origin?
What do you guys think?

Does pop-culture over play the significance of the French Resistance in German occupied France? Or were they actually effective?

They did fuck-all for the most part. The Polish and Soviet partisans were more effective.

With all due respect, simply put, it goes without saying, to be perfectly honest.

What is /his/' opinion on this series?
Im just getting into these kinds of things (ie. Watching documentaries and reading about history), and I found really interesting (and terrifying, if true)
Is it a nuanced series or a conspiracy theory? If anyone has seen it, how do you think it relates to the events that have happened since it was released in 2004?

>Start watching
It's an Adam Curtis doc lad, his commentary is always very superficial and just vague cynical criticisms of mainstream perspective punctuated by irrelevant asides.
7 minutes in and It's very clear this is just ripped from the book Looming Tower, which is a more interesting and informative source than any curtis doc.

If the unionists had won and the Imperial Federation was created, would the British Empire still exist today?

I have a feeling India probably would have still desired autonomy

No, because somehow millions of people rejecting imperial rule wouldn't have been changed by minor appeasements and government changes.
I presume you mean perhaps Canada and NZ in the empire, but not now. Their sovereignty would be necessary to promote economic ties with the US and China respectively.

Disappointed in you asking such a pointless question and trying to rep diogenes. Go fuck yourself

cultural similarities because complex behavior and abstractions are due to classical conditioning not genetics

The other times I used the picture as filler. But this time it makes sense. They are men but got nothing in common except for their livivng environment and the culture that surrounds it.
