>The team also found jewellery and other artefacts from Madagascar, the Maldives, Yemen and China.

>Harlaa was a "rich, cosmopolitan" centre for jewellery making, Prof Insoll said.

>"Residents of Harlaa were a mixed community of foreigners and local people who traded with others in the Red Sea, Indian Ocean and possibly as far away as the Arabian Gulf," he said.

Bretty cool.

So what do they mean when they say indian ocean, just the coast of africa?

GK Chesterton.jpg

>The man who kills a man, kills a man. The man who kills himself, kills all men; as far as he is concerned he wipes out the world. His act is worse (symbolically considered) than any rape or dynamite outrage. For it destroys all buildings: it insults all women. The thief is satisfied with diamonds; but the suicide is not: that is his crime. He cannot be bribed, even by the blazing stones of the Celestial City. The thief compliments the things he steals, if not the owner of them. But the suicide insults everything on earth by not stealing it. He defiles every flower by refusing to live for its sake. There is not a tiny creature in the cosmos at whom his death is not a sneer. When a man hangs himself on a tree, the leaves might fall off in anger and the birds fly away in fury: for each has received a personal affront. Of course there may be pathetic emotional excuses for the act. There often are for rape, and there almost always are for dynamite. But if it comes to clear ideas and the intelligent meaning of things, then there is much more rational and philosophic truth in the burial at the cross-roads and the stake driven through the body, than in Mr. Archer's suicidal automatic machines. There is a meaning in burying the suicide apart. The man's crime is different from other crimes -- for it makes even crimes impossible.

OP here: For anyone whos wondering the source is Orthodoxy written by the man above.

I'm reading Orthodoxy right now and I'm throroughly unimpressed so far. Stylistically he's a mess. And his arguments for Christianity seem to come down to "muh feels"

>2969273
Honestly ive only read little bits of it; never the whole thing through. I thought he peaked on some pretty good topics. The one i posted is agreeable to me at least. I dont look at his work as a universally objective guide. I mostly look at it as a subjective perspective on some topics. Im not christian and i know he was very religious, but i think his points can be made from secular logic as well.

If god really loves us, why does hell exist? While obviously you can love someone and still punish them, as punishment allows someone to learn a lesson and be a better person, isn't punishment without chance of redemption just sadism?

Who had the most legitimacy in carrying on the legacy of the Roman Empire after Constantinople fell?

Ottomans by right of conquest

Ottomans

>HRE
It was neither of those and did not control either Rome or Istanbul.
>Russia
Bunch of slavs, mongolians and scandinavians. Might as well say Uzbekistan is the new Roman Empire.
>Papal States
This is debatable but they are more a continuation of the WRE. While Ottomans were the continuation of the ERE.
>>
>>2968990
Papal states.

Is cannibalism only a moral evil because it implies an initial murder?
45 posts and 5 images submitted.
>>
It's considered the ultimate act of aggression by most standards. It's no surprise that the only people who historically preformed cannibalism were either tribes in near inhospitable lands (subject to performing excessively prevalent acts of violence and sexual abuse, see Psychohistory reports on Papua New Guinea and Abbo tribes) or fringe religious groups on the edge of society.

Not to mention there's a medical risk to eating other people, with such things as Kuru
>>
>>2968356
Not all people who were cannibalized were murdered. Many were dead family members.
>>
>>2968356
Yes, there's literally nothing wrong with eating someone if you had no part in their murder.

It was a good idea but they attacked too late in the year because Italy couldn't defeat Greece alone. USSR was rearming fast and the longer they waited the less chance they would be able to actually succeed against USSR. Also it is highly likely that as soon as Hitler was placed into a vulnerable position Stalin would attack him so he needed to strike first.
>>
>>2967983

Imagine if modern day Canada tried to invade the modern day United States.
>>
>>2967983
Hmm Stalin would have attacked eventually. Maybe Germany would have been more successful in a defensive war. I mean thousands of Germans froze to death in the Russian winter.

I don’t understand why abject Euro-Whites suffer from this OCD about “Aryans”.

Instead of such useless endeavours such as finding correlation between penis size and IQ, Euro-Whites would do better to find a cure for Wewuzkangzosis pathologicalis.

At least success in the latter would mean a few less world wars.

Speaking of IQ, the Proto-Indo-Europeans (and their bronze age progeny) were unmitigated savages who didn’t have the IQ to build any civilization anywhere.

“Aryans” became Kangz because of the diligence of Dravidians of the Indus Valley.
Persians became Kangz because of the diligence of Elamites.
Romans became Kangz because of the diligence of Etruscans.
Greeks became Kangz because of the diligence of Minoans.

Wherever Indo-Euros couldn’t find a civilizations to parasitise, they remained in their barbaric state of existence, just like the Celts and Teutons and Slavs and Tocharians.

They were the ultimate welfare-parasites of their time. Much like Turks in Germany today.

But hey, Turkics were even better than “Aryan” Indo-Euros in the invasion business. Look at what the Oghuz Turkmens did to Anatolia. This is the same thing they’ll do to Germany.

Perhaps then, in a not so distant future, Euro-Whites would masturbate thinking of their connection to Genghiz and Hulagu, just as the other commenters are masturbating now to “Aryans”.

In fact, Hungarians have already started fapping themselves.

Seems that Mitra and Varuna are not without a sense of irony.

Nah. At least no more than Rome, Persia and Greece. If you are referring to the loss of languages in your pic than well all those speakers are part of the same branch as Arabic. It was pretty easy to make the jump to another semetic language and without your own language you start to identify more with the people that speak the same language as you.

Yes
