This. A worthy achievement in and of itself and ample reason to continue with it.

The benefits are clear, a better world.

Oh, so you're using Greek as an aid in learning Syriac?

The gospels were written in Koine Greek.

It's obviously easier to modernize on smaller scale.

Heh. Boltzmann lobotomies. You're OK OP.

I'm sorry, sweetie. Inferior nazis couldn't fight.

Is this yet another stealth Germanboo thread? I think it is.

YOU LOST TWO MAJOR WARS BACK TO BACK, HANS. LET IT GO.

I recognize what it is but also hope for something more

As of recently, humanity to me has become a largely desolate landscape of love. If you look at modern America specifically, however, it's nothing but a bunch of hateful, uptight, self-important special interests spreading the idea of love through bullshit consumerism and pseudo-spiritual nonsense with the idea that we, as a sheep herd, will get along and love one another...

Even though a biased and small minded, not to mention small stature, media throws out all that get togetherness with focus on the two or three objections to progress instead of where we should be aimed: our illustrious first world government who utilize fascism akin to how a dentist might use laughing gas to dull pain for an oral operation: through hollywoodizing small issues into large issues and leaving us distracted from actual problems.

In this rant, I may not have answered the question, so here's my final thesis: love is whatever your perspective on it wants to be, because we, as humans, have a lot of power to change things by believing a certain way. Look at how we treated our vets coming back from WW2 compared to Vietnam. Patriotism changes. Ideas change. Therefore, while I don't agree with the notion, love changes too.

Holy fuck, the movies are right

What about the first three years ?

>>3340195
Britain was barely involved on the Western Front until the Somme in mid-1916
The the two years before that, France was virtually alone

>>3340202
they were still more involved than the americans...

But seriously what game is this from? Looks like a mod.

>>3340154
It is a mod, of Half Life 2 to be correct. It's called Age of Chivalry, you should play with me sometime.

>>3340157
Looks preddy good. Where are you from? My shitty Australian international can't keep up with some from the next state, so it'd probably be impossible.

some probably were

No their language was Not greek so They were barbaroi by definition

>>3340119
Maybe not Greek from their perspective, but probably from ours.
It was almost certainly closely related to Greek, and split off from a common ancestor with Doric after that ancestor had split off from Mainland Greek. It's part of the evidence for the Doric Invasion hypothesis: Doric-like Speakers in the North and Doric speakers in the South.

Alexander didn't do anything that his father wouldn't have been able to

>>3340025
>Are Alexander the Great and Napoleon divine interventions?

Really? Those seem more like cases of the candle that burns twice as bright burning for only half as long.

>>3340025
By that logic,, the Huns, the Timurids, and the Nazis were divine intervention. Genghis and Lenin might have done some amazing things, but they were done amid an ocean of blood and misery.

If there's divine intervention, there seems no coherent matter or motive in which it's implemented.

Why are you coming here? Brazil faces the worst possible scenario. Economic and political crises commingled, we actually have little to no government. Crime is rampant: pickpocket, assault, drug lords taking over, homicides, etc. Nowhere is safe.

That's the first bit you need to know. It pains me to say, but you should not really come here. Not now.

What exactly do you want to know about Brazil? I could write to you much of its history.

The US Government, unironically, unless you want to count the constitutional monarchies which have gone under various change of states

Probably Britain, same government since 1688.

Papal states

Napoleon was arguably the greatest general since Hannibal. It is known

>t the beginning you have Spaniards and Brits struggling for months in the middle of Spain against some minor French force, everything is slow and no quick victory is in sight
>Implying
At the beggining you have French forces ruling pretty much all Spain.
Then the French defeat by the Spanish forces is so loud that the French evacuate Madrid and retreat to defensive positions.
So Napoleon himself has to go to put some sense among the French.

>The French, all but masters of Spain in June, now stood with their backs to the Pyrenees, clutching at Navarre and Catalonia. It was not known if even these two footholds could be maintained in the face of a Spanish attack. By October French strength in Spain, including garrisons, was about 75,000 soldiers. They were facing 86,000 Spanish troops[15] with Spain's 35,000 British allies en route.[20]

>While the allies inched forward, a vast consolidation of bodies and bayonets from the far reaches of the French Empire brought 100,000 veterans of the Grande Armée into Spain, led in person by Napoleon and his Marshals.[25]

>The Emperor announced to the Spanish deputies:
>"I am here with the soldiers who conquered at Austerlitz, at Jena, at Eylau. Who can withstand them? Certainly not your wretched Spanish troops who do not know how to fight. I shall conquer Spain in two months and acquire the rights of a conqueror."

The mongol invasion of japan was thwarted by a typhoon. They called it a kamikaze or "divine wind"

There are some Sumerian wax cylinders with recordings of storms on them, but they are just regular storms, not hurricanes, plus most of the cylinders were destroyed during the Gulf War. I was lucky enough to hear some of the recordings when I was working for Saddam before Gulf War 1, they were pretty low-fi but it was fairly cool to hear what storms sounded like thousands of years ago.
