According to popular history Egyptian laborers subsisted on a diet of beer and onions. Literally how is that a feasible way of surviving backbracking work in sweltering heat?

Beer has a lot of calories you dolt

They also ate lots of bread. Bread and beer combined are calorie-bombs. Shouldn't be surprising that these were the two most consumed products in history.

Not really a historic text but
>The Lusiads
>Written in Homeric fashion, the poem focuses mainly on a fantastical interpretation of the Portuguese voyages of discovery during the 15th and 16th centuries. Os Lusíadas is often regarded as Portugal's national epic, much as Virgil's Aeneid was for the Ancient Romans, or Homer's Iliad and Odyssey for the Ancient Greeks. It was written when Camões was an exile in Macau and was first printed in 1572, three years after the author returned from the Indies.

Only if redefine the words, thus de-legitimatizing the concepts they represent and alienating people who sympathize with your viewpoints. SJWs have hurt the left much more than any alt-right faggotry.
>>
>>3346480
Some Marxist cunt in some American university in the 1970s tried to redefine the word "racism" to mean "prejudice plus power" instead of simply "prejudice against other races". So SJW are trying to hold onto that mantra and then get pissy when it never catches on.

This board is dedicated to the discussion of history and the other humanities such as philosophy, religion, law, classical artwork, archeology, anthropology, ancient languages, etc. Please use /lit/ for discussions of literature. Threads should be about specific topics, and the creation of "general" threads is discouraged.

For the purpose of determining what is history, please do not start threads about events taking place less than 25 years ago. Historical discussions should be focused on past events, and not their contemporary consequences. Discussion of modern politics, current events, popular culture, or other non-historical topics should be posted elsewhere. General discussions about international culture should go on /int/.

/his/ is not /pol/, and Global Rule #3 is in effect. Do not try to treat this board as /pol/ with dates. Blatant racism and trolling will not be tolerated, and a high level of discourse is expected. History can be examined from many different conflicting viewpoints; please treat other posters with respect and address the content of their post instead of attacking their character.

When discussing history, please reference credible source material, and provide as much supporting information as possible in your posts.

Why is western society so androgynous compared to others?

Women wear pants
Men wear long hair
Women wear men's clothes
Fashion companies are pushing makeup on men
Neither gender has specific roles, like housewife or breadwinner, associated with it

What are the historical causes of this and why? Why does western society hate gender roles?

How did Germany go from near-worthless currency (pic related) and debt-riddled poverty to a prosperous world power in a matter of years?

No /pol/ bs, let's talk details about the economic system; what new ideas did they bring to the table, did it work, and could it work again? (This time without the military being the main economic and labor consumer)

A fuckton of borrowing and spending on military projects, with absolutely no intention of paying it back.

>>3345843
That's after WWII to today. Okay.

As for so-called Nazi economics there was no miracle. Just natural post-recession recovery, mediocre but sane policy by Hjalmar Schacht undermined by Goering who supported war economy (which at least helped the unemployment). Basically it was a bubble with a significant debt ready to burst that required military actions.

I see a lot of praise for Battlefield, a documentary TV series from PBS.
Some professors and students I've talked to as well as posters on this board seems to have high regards for this series.


I know The Great war Channel and Apocalypse WW1/WW2 is also held in high regard but is there any documentary out there that meets Battlefield's standards?

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0120926/

I've heard that Battlefield whitewashes some mistakes made by the Allies but I haven't seen enough.

And I don't know about Apocalypse WWII. It repeats some of the old myths and inacuracies like it was made 50 years ago. I'd stay away from it. It's almost impossible to find a good all-encompassing WWII series. World at War came the closest. Still not perfect but the best of the bunch.
>>
>>3345761
You mean the Scandinavian episode?
>>
>>3346097
I usually get angry by the first episode. I think Apocalypse was the one with "brave stupid Poles charging tanks"
It's the WWII version of Princip's sandwich. Also a plague of many otherwise good documentaries.
