>People say you won the war single handedly
Only contrarians say this, usually in response to American dickwaving. Rational people say they played an incredibly significant role. Some argue that even without lend-lease they'd have pulled it off, but at greater cost, though that sort of "what-if" shit is a waste of time.
>Everybody says you did nothing in WWII because they don't want you in their country but they also get mad when you try to leave
again, only the contrarians, usually in response to American dickwaving.
Non-retards acknowledge that the US played a significant role, so did the USSR, and so did the Brits / commonwealth. None of them 'did nothing in WWII' and without any one of them the war would've probably either ended way earlier (in defeat) or stretched on way longer (in eventual victory).

Hey guys.
I found this keychain, and it seems to have an old coin inside of it.
Can you recognize it? Looks Greek to me.
Do you think it might be some value?

What's the deal with liturgic languages, /his/?
With Catholics with their Latin/Koine Greek, Orthodox with their Koine Greek, Folk Chinese religions with their Classical Chinese, and Islam with its classical arabic, why were many religions prone to stick with ancient languages as time marched onwards?

In Islam the Angel Gabriel spoke to Muhammad for God, so the Classical Arabic scripture is literally taken as the words of God. The Quran itself is a miracle of God, because of it's poetic language and the fact that Muhammad was illiterate.
It all boils down to the fact that translations are for plebs, and lose a lot of the magic.

I don't know why Aramaic wasn't chosen as the basis of the Bible but this exactly:
>It all boils down to the fact that translations are for plebs, and lose a lot of the magic.
If you are anything but a monolingual, you would know that some things cannot be exactly translated into another language due to lack of a native concept and had to go around explaining such foreign concept (often than not, they fail or lack some detail).

I don't know for certain, but I would guess so. They definitely kept cattle, way into predynastic times, and they didn't seem to go for animal fabrics, preferring to make clothes out of plant fiber. I suppose they could have raised cows solely for meat, but I don't' see why, since they'll give milk anyway why not drink it?

Because the animals and the people were dirty as fuck and drinking non pasteurized milk is just rolling the dice

Since another anon was requesting a new board for the topic, it seems sensible to remedy the problem for now by creating a thread for prehistory and all its related discussions.
In that vein: Why the fuck did Neolithic people make these?
It seems weird to me that people of different communities from all over the world became fucking obsessed with building them. From far Eastern Asia in to the Western European mainland, prehistoric groups constructed menhirs, dolmens and stone circles.
Cosmological, territorial, functional? wtf is up with them?

The United "If it isn't free'd, let it bleed" States would support anyone that is against the USSR, at least for the most part.
>>
>>2728644
Letting Vietnam have complete, undisturbed control over Cambodia would eventually threaten Thailand, an ally of the USA. The domino theory wasn't necessarily true as the old guard of the Khmer Rouge communists educated in Vietnam were purged and the Khmer Rouge split with Vietnam, but the American foreign policy makers would rather support the Khmer Rouge than risk communist infiltration in Thailand.
