They assimilate fine. Did you mean why don't they acculturate well? People don't in general, but this is exacerbated by anti-Western, anti-Globalist politics where rejecting these things becomes the whole point.

Why is the only literature, writing or depiction, of Jesus' existence found inside this book. There were many historians, poets etc. Alive during the supposed time he was alive. But he is only found inside this book.
Also what timeline did Jews get enslaved by Egyptians?
And what year did everyone in the world die except for Noah, his wife and a few farm animals after entire world got flooded underwater for 40 days and 40 nights?

They were all hostile to Christianity. Ancient historians avoided recording people they didn't like

Daily reminder the Jews and Romans never denied Jesus existed but just said he was a sorcerer. If Jesus didnt exist, don't you think that'd be a better argument for his enemies to make?
>>
>>2955167
m8, I'm just asking why nobody wrote about him outside of the bible during that timeline. The Roman Empire was huge as fuck and many people knew how to write. A dude walking on water, turning water into wine and multiplying food would have been famous as fuck and you would hear about him from multiple sources.
How do we not know that Constantine just got high as fuck and made all this shit up?

And you tell me: is this possible? No, so it's saying that the only way for us to receive God's salvation is either by complete faith in him (Read Galatians) or be completely perfect without flaw (which we know is impossible)

Has anyone here ever been to a genuine roman themed festival, like medieval fairs?
I have been to Carnuntum last saturday and had a blast. I will dump any pictures I made and comment them, although I have to make a disclaimer: they are sometimes potato quality and I forgot to photograph everything because I became piss drunk towards the end.
>pic related
These are reenactors that LARP the Legio XV Apollinaris. The Legion was stationed in the Fort Carnuntum and later frontier town for most of the time. Most of the reenactors were germans who rejoyced in the prospect of being fascists again. The others were hungarians and real bros. Some hungarians also larped as Dacians and were just drunk all the time. When you wanted to take pictures with them, they would give you home made booze.
The free range museum Carnuntum contains a fully reconstructed roman thermae (public bath), a villa as well as several arceological digs.
Awesome stuff but it is only really worth visiting when the roman festival is being held. Otherwise it is really boring.
Feel free to ask any questions you might have. I'll try to answer them.

This is the plan of the area.
There are 2 other venues that you can visit:
The Amphitheatre and the Museum Carnuntinum.
The former are the ruins of a large Gladiatorial arena and they someqhat built a shoddy arena on the top of the ruins. A small band of reenactors performed as Gladiators this year.
The Museum Carnuntinum is a small venue and basically just showcases the shit the archeologists dug up during the last 100 years. Emperor Franz Joseph II. initiated the Carnuntum Movement since he was a big Romaboo and there have been fantastic finds since then.
I also learned why people had Dig shaped talismans with wings:
Apparently they were the same shitty joke we make today: See this gaius? We found a new dank meme: dicks with wings!

This a scale model of what the forntier Town and the Legionaryfort might have looked like at it's height.
Carnuntum had up to 55.000 inhabitants during the high imperial period and was an important waystation of the amber trade route to rome.
Many important people either visited this place or even spent long years here.
Marcus Aurelis at least spent 2 years here and Septimus Severus was proclaimed emperor in Carnuntum.

Al-Quds is worth the lives of 100 million Arabs. It's always been our land, the Indigenous people of Palestine will remain in this land until the end of time. The only thing that will change is the end to the fake Jewish European invaders.

Are trannies allowed in Islam?
Is a MtF tranny allow to get married to a guy?
In my opinion it is because gender dysphoria is real and sex change operations merely help clarify the creation of Allah.

Most Muslims think Gays should be killed, but only a few countries carry it out, saudi and iran is medically classifying homosexuality as a severe mental illness though and they have a legal procedure where you apply to a state-funded HRT and transformation
There's no Quranic evidence that gays should be killed btw, there's not even quranic evidence that says homosexuality makes someone a great sinner, only that its a great sin. The "kill gays" is probably a later meme, there's a few obscure hadith saying Muhammad let a feminine fuckboy sit with his wives because he was girly and it didn't matter.

>Modern technology has revealed an irrefutable, if unpopular, truth: many of the statues, reliefs, and sarcophagi created in the ancient Western world were in fact painted. Marble was a precious material for Greco-Roman artisans, but it was considered a canvas, not the finished product for sculpture. It was carefully selected and then often painted in gold, red, green, black, white, and brown, among other colors.
>One of the most influential art historians of the era was Johann Joachim Winckelmann. He produced two volumes recounting the history of ancient art, Geschichte der Kunst des Alterthums (1764), which were widely read and came to form a foundation for the modern field of art history. These books celebrate the whiteness of classical statuary and cast the Apollo of the Belvedere — a Roman marble copy of a Hellenistic bronze original — as the quintessence of beauty. Historian Nell Irvin Painter writes in her book The History of White People (2010) that Winckelmann was a Eurocentrist who depreciated people of other nationalities, like the Chinese or the Kalmyk.
>“Color in sculpture came to mean barbarism, for they assumed that the lofty ancient Greeks were too sophisticated to color their art,” Painter writes. The ties between barbarism and color, civility and whiteness would endure. Not to mention Winckelmann’s pronounced preference for sculptures of gleaming white men over women. Regardless of his own sexual identity — which may have been expressed in this preference — Winckelmann’s gender bias would go on to have an impact on white male supremacists who saw themselves as upholding an ideal.

"It is not poverty which produces sorrow, but desire; nor does wealth release from fear, but reason (the power of reasoning). If then you acquire this power of reasoning, you will neither desire wealth nor complain of poverty. "
"When we have been invited to a banquet, we take what is set before us: but if a guest should ask the host to set before him fish or sweet cakes, he would be considered to be an unreasonable fellow. But in the world we ask the Gods for what they do not give; and we do this though the the things are many which they have given."

As a straight male when and were was the sexiest time to be alive? (e.g. Yūkaku in feudal Japan)
Things to consider:
>Female fashion and beauty standards
>Sexual practices, fetishes, and conventions that existed
>Any evidence of certain societies having extra slutty women
Be sure to post pictures of women and fashion from time period with you answer.
Cheers babes hopefully we can get some historical waifus in this thread.
