It does not, and never did, exist. Nobody lied about it, it was simply miscommunication that evolved over time into a grand myth.

What about El Dorado? Was it purely mythical too or there was a grain of truth in the stories?

Are /his/ threads about youtubers like Sargon of Akkad allowed?

No, only the real Sargon of Akkad is allowed.

I love the arches, and the original concept of the dome on top. Can you believe the Muslims invented this? Only a warrior-scholar society like theirs could achieve something so great

>>3059144
>Muslim architecture, the pinnacle of Arabic golden age.

Can't believe anyone could fall for that.

Nice try OP. I bet the T*rks didn't even construct those shitty Arabic disks suspended from the gloriously Byzantine ceiling.

The Delhi sultanate was in its prime and they barely stopped them. But to answer your question

>or were they even stronger than China
Probably not as they were then.

That's not to say that India didn't have it's warriors. The Rajputs fought against them continuously for the short time they were around

>>"Hurr 50 and 100 kyat notes are going to be abolished. Muh black marketeers guise."
>>Autistically abolishes 50 and 100 kyat

You do not understand how criminal activities work and how large notes allow drug dealers and weapon dealers to easily transport large quantities of cash.

Smaller notes = larger quantities of cash needing to be moved to buy things on black markets.

Think how easy it would be to buy 1 million worth of drugs if you had thousand dollar notes. It's the reason why America and pretty much every nation only goes up to 100. Of course it's entirely different with nations whose dollar is in the shit house.

When you abolish a currency, you're generally supposed to allow people to exchange it for a new currency.

Not at all.

The Japanese rarely contacted each other, let alone other nations

from wikipedia:

>Hitler thus welcomed Japan's sudden entry into the war with its air raid on the American naval base at Pearl Harbor on 7 December 1941 and its subsequent declaration of war on the United States and Britain, just as the German army suffered its first military defeat at the gates of Moscow. Upon learning of Japan's successful attack, Hitler even became euphoric, stating: "With such a capable ally we cannot lose this war."[64] Preceding Japan's attack were numerous communiqués between Berlin and Tokyo. The respective ambassadors Ott and Ōshima tried to draft an amendment to the Tripartite Pact, in which Germany, Japan and Italy should pledge each other's allegiance in the case one signatory is attacked by – or attacks – the United States. Although the protocol was finished in time, it would not be formally signed by Germany until four days after the raid on Pearl Harbor.

Also you've maybe heard that when Germany formally declared war on the US, everyone there erupted in celebration, as far as they were concerned the US was already in the war by supplying the UK

I always thought Hitler's pact with Japan was defensive only.

I personally find the Meiji restoration, Emperor Meiji, modernisation, Japanese empire and time as a world power the most interesting (partly because I know shit all about feudal Japan).

Emperor Meiji and his world is a good book about those.

>>3061724
Do you just want to read some exciting bits or are you fine with reading with longer, more dense material? Which era? Ancient, classical, medieval, pre-modern, or modern?

>>3061266
Yes.
Especially because of WW1/2

Yes.

The real power isn't given to you at a coronation, but conquered on the battlefield.

Also, when I was a little kid we made an emperor piece for chess and made it better than the king or queen, because an emperor is better than a king.

>>3061191

"Emperor" is almost always the most powerful, because it strongly implies that you rule over a vast territory. A king can have very localized power, whereas a person must rule over many disparate kingdoms before he may be called "Emperor."

how do i downvote this

Everyone has SOME degree of political influence anon. I have no idea what political rights were legally granted to the lower classes, but just because they could influence an election does not mean they had any. People who could vote might have taken into consideration their opinions for future favors, or a number of other convoluted scenario's could have taken place.

I'm interested in this question as well, hope somebody can provide a good answer.
