Kukulkan is my most favourite dragon.

Did the concept of dragons just come from dinosaur bones anons? Forgive my ignorance but it pretty weird that they are in so many cultures that never met throughout history and dinosaurs are the only explanation I can think of where they got this common idea... apart from Dragons being real of course...

Nothing, he was the good one. You're thinking of Tezcatlipoca.

>>2700005
Nothing, Quetzalcoatl was the nicest of the deities. His only fault was that he got seduced by a THICC woman. Unless you mean Tezcatlipoca, who did cause a lot of chaos.

If your picture is true, how did all those things get built? Were they just privately owned?

>>2699990
That meme of yours is very misleading. Public schools did not cover Secondary School education in most areas until after 1913, and the quality of education was vastly inferior (even more so than today) to private schools. Most US universities that existed in 1913 were private. The railroads were built by private companies given cheap land grants by the US government and run for a profit. Subways were funded from local rather than federal taxes. America's army and navy were small and quite shit. It is so categorically wrong about nearly everything that if you are not kidding I strongly encourage you to find a rope of sufficient durability to withstand the force of your neck breaking against it, to safely forward your ignorant ass off to the next world.

He's like a Italian Romaboo and acts as a counterweight for Skallagrims Nordaboo. Both are rather autistic but I enjoy their videos about historic arms and armor.

Nobody generally sheds tears over African countries.

Good point, but Rhodesia is diffrent... Kind of I guess

Had potential to be a developed country in Africa and then Mugabe screwed it over, chased out all the whites and destroyed the economy.

Those continental """Celts""" had absolutely nothing to do with each other. Different languages, different genes, different everything, just a similar pottery so archeolocucks started yapping they must be the same people.

Is there a topological/geographic justification for that autistic Croatian border? I can never seem to get an answer.

Yugoslavia was bound to collapse inoneway or another. It was racing towards a civil war on ethnic grounds during the times of the monarchy and it collapsed due to several factors under socialism.
From the beginning, the plan of the king was to unite the South Slavic nations in a single, Yugoslav ethnicity but the problem was, the differences are far too big, which is why something like the unification of Italy or Germany was impossible.

>>2698327
How so? It mostly has a historical basis.

Why would you pay tens of thousands of dollars for an education you could get from E-books and a library card?

>>2697513
Why would you do this to yourself?

Can I get a double cheeseburger and small fries?

>Was there any new architecture?
Yes, plenty. A good example is the Mausoleum of Galla Palcidia, which is absolutely gorgeous inside.
>In terms of military, what did the legions look like physically? How were the roman uniforms different from 300 years ago?
Pic related
>Were the "foederati" romanized enough or did they retain their "barbaric" look in the legions? Same with all the late stage leaders that were Germanic or otherwise barbarian in origin... were they "romanized" in look?
No, they were pretty thoroughly Romanised. There was a lot of guff in the 19th century where people speculated that the Roman army was Germanisied, but more recent scholarship is turning that on its head. Roman gear was the best stuff you could get, everyone wanted it, from the Franks to the Goths to the Huns, so Roman arms factories were popular targets for raids and Rome's enemies generally looked more like Romans than most people think. People picture the Huns running around in lamellar wearing those furry hats, but a lot of them were probably armed and armored very similarly to the Romans.
>Did the barbarians just eventually destroy all the roman and romanized stuff?
No, that's stupid. Most of the barbarians had a hard-on for everything Roman. Alaric, the very man who sacked Rome, Latinised his name and styled himself as a Roman General.
