We took what was good and worthy and rest we burned. We made Rome our bitch and it will stay this way as eternal city of Christ on Earth.

Church is one body but many members my friend. And we are not those filthy protestants that deny immorality of the soul and eternal life in Heaven so that there is no communion of saints in all three states of Church.

My undergrad institution did not have this issue. We have 1or 2 microfocused courses in my uni but most was things like History of this region or country.

But it was focusing on the intersectional feminist trans-affirming hedonistic pro-disable morbidly-obese-beautifying instant-gratification atheistic anarcho-communism aspect of those countries from an Afrocentric lens, right? Otherwise it would be outright haram.

Reminder:

>93.52% of the 5,087,009 registered Quebecers voted in the referendum, a higher turnout than any provincial or federal election in Canada's history. The proposal of June 12, 1995 was rejected by voters, with 50.58% voting "No" and 49.42% voting "Yes". The margin was significantly smaller than the 1980 referendum. The "Yes" side was the choice of French speakers by an estimated majority of about 60%. Anglophones and allophones (those who do not have English or French as a first language) voted "No" by a margin of 95%. There was a majority "Yes" vote in 80 out of 125 National Assembly ridings.

But I want Quebec to be independent so we can snatch up everything west of it.

I'm sure that went over well with the Francophones.

Why make an accurate one for the logo and then have the actual props be totally wrong

Bah. Its mostly about the Templars.

What I really want is a Crusader show about the sack of Jerusalem where they spend 3 entire episodes of nothing but showing crusaders hacking Muslims to bits and stacking their bodies into mounds the size of houses like how the Christian scribe reported.

And make it bloody like The Walking Dead.

Then air it on Middle Eastern TV.

Not really a myth but the girl with the infinite soup bowl from Brother's Grimm was my favorite fantasy tale.

I suppose if I really had to pick one the native American myth about strong wind is pretty good. Basically trust no thot, be honest and you shall be rewarded.

>Your favourite ancient myth???
The one about the death of Baldr.

>Tell also this myth in your own words
It's been a while since I've read it, and I don't remember a lot of stuff, but here goes.

Baldr, the god of innocence, was going to have all the gods through plants/flowers on him for some reason (maybe this was some weird Norse thing). However, before this ceremony, Loki had been eavesdropping on some close friends/relatives of Baldr, and had learned Baldr's secret weakness. So Loki got the plant that caused Baldr's weakness, disguised himself (as Baldr's brother), and went to the ceremony. When everyone began throwing, Baldr died because of Loki. Baldr's brother got the blame for Baldr's death, and was hated because of this.

Since everyone loved Baldr, the gods decided that someone should visit hell to bring him back to life. So one of the gods (I'm going to say it was Thor because why not) went down to hell. He asked the queen of hell if Baldr could come back to life. The queen said he could, but only if every living thing in the world cried for Baldr's death. So the gods went around telling everyone about Baldr and how they all had to cry. So everything in the world cried, aside for one ice giant who was actually Loki in disguise. So Baldr remains dead to this day. The end.

The book I was reading never said, but I always assumed this myth was supposed to explain morning dew. Can anyone confirm or deny this for me?

Because almost every film and show about ancient Rome is trash. The truth has been ruined by Hollywood and now people expect retarded bullshit. Just compare the new Ben-Hur to the old one.

But you don't need it, all that is necessary is for you to have morality beyond with what you are born as well as values and ideas. You'll find that this will construct itself automatically.
Just read and discuss, and well, just like that: you find a way.

And heck: even movies can play its role. So make your own kind of existentialism if you want a fancy name for that, but everyone develops ideology and so on autonomously.

Religion is a comforting lie for children, women, and niggers. Be a man and face reality as she is.

french and latin replaced a lot of the germanic vocabulary thats about it

English has all sorts of cool influences, from Celtic languages, Latin, French, and different kinds of German.
Obviously in terms of migrations and conquests, we start with Celtic, move to Latin, then grab some German (Anglo/saxon/jutes), then grab more German (scandinavians), then French (Norman), when the invasions stop.

>>3112795
1. Pre-Viking period: some Latin words were brought in. These were so early they don't even look Latin anymore, like candle from "candella". A few quirks are borrowed from neighboring Celtic languages, like "dad" for father, and the frequent use of the verb "do".

2. Viking period: numerous loan words are borrowed, and the sequence /sk/ is re-added to English. This is how we get doubles like shirt and skirt, skin and shin, shell and skull, etc. which all meant the same thing in proto-Germanic.

3. Norman invasion and creolization: English maintains its Germanic-ness, but upper class words are increasingly Latin and Greek. More and more Greco-Latin words will be added from this period up to today. Sometimes Latin words were brought in directly or through medieval Norman French.

4. Great Vowel Shift: This is the primary reason English vowels are so peculiar among European languages. While German and Dutch had something vaguely similar, it was never as extensive as that in English.

This is the "Quick Rundown" version, there's obviously a lot more in the details.

India still has a chess culture, especially in the south. Anand was dominating the game for almost a decade till Carlsen showed up.
