For Carthage
>General Summary
- Carthage: A History (more dry, but super important)
- Carthage Must be Destroyed (more entry, not a bad thing)
>Summary of The Western Phoenicians in general
- Phoenicians and the West
>Punic Wars
- it's hard to recommend anything but Goldworthy for a good introduction
>Hannibal
- Serge Lancel's Hannibal
- There's a good podcast on iTunes U by Stanford University
>General Phoenicians
- The Phoenicians by Donald Harden
- The Phoenicians by Glenn Markoe
There are also some good papers by Carlos Wagner on Carthage and The Phoenicians in Spain. Some of his work is in Spanish, a good amount in English.

Why was the treaty of Paris so harsh ? Why didn't anyone protest against the UK and Spain splitting up the biggest colonial power in North America ? It seems hugely unfair to me that France was stripped of all it's colonies after a single war.

Hello /his/, Today I come to you with a philosophical question of sorts regarding poor and disadvantaged people. In the realm of politics, it's often argued that generational poorness is a cycle of sorts which is very difficult to break out of. By that same token, it's foolish to not admit that poor people tend to be stupid and make poor decisions which explains why they are poor. Obviously, neither of these extremes are true 100% of the time, but from a political point of view, where do you draw the line? Where have past societies drawn the line? Do you just offer aid to every poor person?

IQ devolves towards the mean for the population, meaning that a stupid and justly poor father will produce the same quality of grand-grand-son as an intelligent and successful father. Over time their "genes" will equal out to what is average for that population.
Cyclical poverty is thus not a function of intelligence, rather you need some minimal amount of resources before you can succeed in the marketplace.
I think most would agree that someone who can't bathe and wear nice clothes to an interview is less likely to be hired compared to someone who can, thus homeless are facing impossible odds getting a job. Further, they can't give a permanent address without lying, and without a permanent address you can't produce many documents or participate in many programs.
Additionally, a child born poor will have access to less and worse nutrition, and less stimulating growing up. Less exposure to foreign language, to computers and mobile phones, to other intelligent people.
This child, even if it had the genetic potential to be very intelligent, will not reach said potential, because the environment won't be stimulating enough.
The cycle of poverty is a failure of the state to property extract and utilize its resources, and many people who could otherwise be great are thrown away, because they "randomly", via the genetic roulette, appeared in an environment where its hard to notice their potential.

Realistically, what might Mexico be like if Maximilian had stayed emperor of Mexico? Presuming few other "points of divergence" from our own timeline (possibly just having the American Civil War last longer), how different would Mexico be?
Would Mexico have been a Franco-Austrian puppet? Without Porfirio Diaz, would Mexico have developed a more equal economy?

OK so If Islam was founded before the fall of the Roman Empire, at what point would the Romans have been most able to contain the Arabs?

Probably before the third century crisis. After that point, Rome had too many problems and couldn't deal with them all simultaneously anymore. The Legions could have fucked the mudslimes army day of the week but without a proper and stable administration, Rome would have just suffered like Heraclius did. The difference between Rome and Heraclius was that Heraclius wasn't expecting a Muslim invasion and his depopulated and exhausted empire couldn't mount an effective counterresponse.

>everything about Islam's birth is very rooted in the context of VII century's Arabia and Middle East, also Mohammed's teaching obviously take a lot from sects criticizing what Christianity had become
Your question makes no sense, it's like asking what if the French Revolution happened in the XV century, it simply couldn't

>>3045853
If Islam had been founded a mere 3 decades earlier or later than it was in our current timeline, it would never been more than a localized Arabian offshoot of Judaism/Christianity.
Both the Byzantine-Sasanian War of 602-628 and Khalid ibn Walid were both "black swan" events.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Byzantine%E2%80%93Sasanian_War_of_602%E2%80%93628
"By the end of the conflict both sides had exhausted their human and material resources. Consequently, they were vulnerable to the sudden emergence of the Islamic Rashidun Caliphate, whose forces invaded both empires only a few years after the war. The Muslim forces swiftly conquered the entire Sasanian Empire and deprived the Byzantine Empire of its territories in the Levant, the Caucasus, Egypt, and North Africa. Over the following centuries, half the Byzantine Empire and the entire Sasanian Empire came under Muslim rule."
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Khalid_ibn_al-Walid
"Khalid is said to have fought around a hundred battles, both major battles and minor skirmishes as well as single duels, during his military career. Having remained undefeated, he is claimed by some to be one of the finest military generals in history.[3]"

is judaism a better religion than christianity? It feels like christianity has lots of problems like the corruption within the catholic church and how some people like peter popoff exploit it. I feel christianity's culture is bad because it focuses more on the afterlife/the rapture in some distant point of time than the problems of the world in the present (like climate change). I'm also not comfortable with how christianity has hirtorically changed itself by doing things from incorporating paganism to incoporating rock music in order to reach as much of a wide audience as possible, even if meant sacrificing spiritual development.

I'm unfamiliar with arianism. Wouldn't seperating Jesus from God and also worshiping Jesus be idolatry and be worse?

>Jean Hardouin (1646 – September 3, 1729), French classical scholar, was born at Quimper in Brittany.
>The most remarkable, contained in his Chronologiae ex nummis antiquis restitutae (1696) and Prolegomena ad censuram veterum scriptorum, was to the effect that, with the exception of the works of Homer, Herodotus and Cicero, the Natural History of Pliny, the Georgics of Virgil, and the Satires and Epistles of Horace, all the ancient classics of Greece and Rome were spurious, having been manufactured by monks of the 13th century, under the direction of a certain Severus Archontius with whom he might have meant Frederick II. [2] He denied the genuineness of most ancient works of art, coins and inscriptions, and declared that the New Testament was originally written in Latin, as he underlined with good reasoning in his short work Prolegomena which appeared in the year he died, 1729.[3] The Prolegomena were translated by Edwin Johnson and published by Angus and Robertson, Sydney 1909, with a noteworthy preface of Edward A. Petherick.
Just how full of shit was Hardouin?

Who knows?
Maybe he was on to something. What is certain is idea that history was faked seems to be relatively old and not just a modern conspiracy theory.

Something I never see on here. What, if anything, is lost upon translation in philosophy? Are there certain ideas that cannot rightly be translated? Are there famous instances of major mistranslations? Are there instances of difference in perception of a single philosophical concept or idea between language groups?
