Had to read it for a World History class. Due to seeing the documentary first, I wasn't caught off guard by what I read.

I'd recommend dozen episode long documentary series called "Soviet storm: ww2 in the east"
It's producer uploaded all episodes on YouTube in HD
I was amused by it because there was almost no Russian bias like in other Russian films.

Are there any multi ethnic societies out there today that are successful and thriving? Ignoring ones that have an immigrant, civic stance like the U.S. and Australia.

Are modern Greeks descended from Byzantine "Greeks"?

I can't even figure out what you're trying to say
Byzantines who lived in Greece were ethnically Greek, yes. But they didn't identify as Greek for most of their history. Greek or Hellenic identity on really started up again in the 13th century and even then it died down a bit until the 15th.

Everyone always wants to talk about generals, well I wana talk about water generals.
I'll get things rolling here, but hopefully this doesn't kill the thread because there's no way the USN dream team of Nimitz-Spruance-Fletcher is being topped.

Nelson could beat them single handed

>>2950463
With an equivalent fleet? Nelson would be unfamiliar with the new concepts of WW2-era navies (planes, the sheer distances, torpedoes, submarines, etc.) Nelson would easily grasp modern broadside usage, but not how best to avoid torpedoes/planes.

The Wind that Shakes the Barley is definitely the most accurate depiction of the Irish War of Independence and Irish Civil War out there, shows the black and tans for what they were unabashedly.

Is this the one where those brave lads shoot all those filthy West Brits? Great movie, really makes me proud to be non-Irish.
My candidate is the 2004 "King Arthur" with Punisher and Fake Padme, it's an absolute shitshow but the costumes and settings are all really period accurate.

How accurate is The Last Emperor? Really liked that film.
How is it that the human species' genocidal tendencies were only eliminated within the last 80 or so years? Consider the length of time we have spent on this planet, both as civilized society and not, and then fast forward to where we are today. It was literally only a generation ago that things like the Holocaust or nigger lynching was taking place. It's mind-blowingly recent considering our current public perception of civil rights and equality.

True, but they still kept records. They had a funny knot system called kipu which functioned as an ersatz writing.

Of all the Christian Great Powers, which has done the most to defend the Christian faith from Islamic expansionism, after 1453, whether intentionally or unintentionally?
> Spain - Reconquista, Ottoman-Habsburg Wars, Battle of Lepanto
> Austria - Ottoman-Habsburg Wars
> Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth - Battle of Vienna
> Russia - Expansion into Central Asia and ambitions for leadership of Orthodox Christianity
> Great Britain - Conquest of India and destruction of Kingdom of Mysore, Indian Mutiny, influence in Egypt
> France - Conquest of Barbary slavers

spain or austria, leaning slightly towards spain. really though they should be combined into a "habsburg" option.
What does /his/ think of Hardcore Histories? I recently discovered it and heard a couple of Dan's shows, and I really liked them.
Nevertheless, I just made my way through some of the older episodes and they just seem haphazard or insane. As in, I kinda feel like I could've done better with no preparation. Besides that what really made me lose respect for him was when he started talking about X-history and aliens influencing our politics, crap like that, he really sounds like Alex Jones there.
Is he salvageable, as long as I don't pay attention to his older shows or listen to anything related to aliens, or is he a massive waste of time?

its alright if you just take it as entertainment. if listen to them to be informed, you are doing yourself a disservice.

Very comfy episodes. Can't think of any other podcast that can compare.

He gets so much wrong, and inserts so much of his own 21st centural liberal ideology into places it doesnt make sense. He's not very astute or insightful ( or even very well read, he mostly just receruits help from others to write for him), but I admire the effort he puts in.
Listen to Great Courses lectures instead. Yes, they are easily pirated.
Hi /his/ friends I have a super longshot question for you - is anyone capable of translating Assyrian cuneiform? Specifically, I would like to see translated tablets 30-40 of the Enuma Anu Enlil- the first recorded example on an almanac of celestial omen interpretation, from the 2nd millenium BCE. Scholars have translated about half of the available tablets but stopped at tablet 29. I really want to read 30 through 40. Please reply if you can even think of someone you can point me to to talk to about this! I'm about to start emailing scholars I find online to get this haha

We have multiple complete translations of EAE, including ones from Sumer itself. Why do you want a third hand copy translated when you have the original?
>>
yeah brah i took assyrian cuneiform 101 at community college gimme a min, if the most eminent scholars in the field cant do it, im sure a random 4chan anon can
>>
Do it yourself faggot.
All the shits online, I started with the materials for an Akkadian dictionary or something. Its three volumes. But got sidetracked by middle Egyptian.
How do you think you'll be able to understand these omens without speaking the language and thus culture they were designed for.
Spend the next month learning this shit, get some plasticine or clay and some reeds or triangular stemmed plants. And then make a thread warning us of the Jewish reptilian invasion a few thousand years too late.
