The wives sprinkled the dead horse with water from their jubs. They said it would purify his life breath. The fresh drops fell on the animal's every orifice, and the wives recited: "May your mind be magnified! May your voice be magnified! May your sight be magnified! May your hearing be magnified! May all that has suffered in you, all that has been hurt in you be magnified and settle! May it be purified!"

Lying on its drape, dripping with water, the strangled horse awaited the mahisi, the first wife. It was a motionless white mass, its hooves side by side. It bore no signs of violence. Only the shudder of its breathing was missing. Finally alone, the regal wife came close. She lay down and pressed her thighs against the thighs of the dead horse. At the same time she spoke to it, urged the horse to tighten its hooves around her thighs. The priests watched. When the horse and the mahisi were glued together, distinguishable only by the colour of their skins- the mahisi's light brown, the horse's a bright white- then the adhvaryu would cover them in a blanket and say "Wrap yourselves together in the sky". Just before the blanked was laid over the two lovers, the mahisi was seen to take the horse's phallus and introduce it between her things. It wasn't easy. So the sacrificer-king would step forward and encourage the horse to penetrate his wife, thus: "Place, O male, that which anoints, great joy of womankind, within the vulva of she who spreads her thighs, and enter her." None of the priests uttered so much as a word.

Tight together under the blanket, the dead horse and the queen were joined in coitus. Around them, in a semicircle, stood the priests, the sacrificer-king, the girl, the king's other wives, and their serving maids, four hundred of them. The coitus went on, silent and invisible, while a weave of innuendos shuttled back and forth between priests and women,. The priests spoke of a fist disappearing into a crack, of a bird wriggling around, of a couple who climb a tree and play together on top. The women came back sharply with biting disrespect: "Hey, brahman, your mother and father play around on the treetops. They wriggle around like your mouth when you try to speak. Hey, brahman, don't mumble!" at any other time it would have been inconceivable to show such insolence to a brahman. That buzz of obscenities hid something solemn and arcane, evoked it through its opposite. Then the chatter stopped. The queen's first handmaids approached the blanket, from which the horse's head and the woman's were poking out. They helped the mahisi to climb decently to her feet. Meanwhile they were thinking: "May we prove able, with all our kinds of words, to obtain for ourselves our every desire."

Reading ISAIF set me on the path to fascism

The universe is simply too big idiots.

They do exist, but we will never encounter them.

Diplomacy as we currently understood it didn't really exist. It was all clock and dagger back room stuff where nobody knew nuffin.

It's almost like nations are led by their self-interest

After Bismark was kicked out, Germany basically pursued a pro-Austrian, anti-Russian foreign policy.

After the Second Balkan War, Bulgaria wanted revenge on Serbia and Montenegro.

Italy, nominally allied with Germany and Austria, actually wanted Austrian-held Dalmatia and to control the Adriatic Sea.

I'm still unclear as to how Russia became allied with France and Britain.

Accept responsibility for your shitty thread and stop blaming the jews you faggot. Maybe the reason she left you is that you're an insufferable cunt who will never better himself because he doesn't accept fault.

I don't see how you can produce a facsimile of someone's face from antiquity for whom you have no representative remains.

Why are people surprised that he looked like that? He was a Jew after all

Of course.

He could look like a unicorn made of jelly - doesn't change the fact that he is the son of god and literally brings people back from the dead at will with no hecks given

>The Nama who chooses not to surrender and lets himself be seen in German territory will be shot, until all are exterminated. Those who, at the start of the rebellion, committed murder against whites or have commanded that whites be murdered have, by law, forfeited their lives. As for the few not defeated, it will fare with them as it fared with the Herero, who in their blindness also believed that they could make war successfully on the powerful German Emperor and the great German people. I ask you, where are the Herero today?[

>>2644660
He didn't though. In fact the guy responsible for it was stripped of his rank and trialed for it.

Also by that metric everyone ruling any colonial empire during the 17th-19th century was worse than Hitler. At least in the German Empire this sort of thing was considered a crime, while the brits are still convinced to this day massacring millions of indians or starving them to death by deliberatly witholding food supplies was a perfectly okay thing to do.

Sardinians were kings, pic related was made in 1300 bc

Sicels in Sicily that got Greek'd to the point where they may as well have been Greek. Because it's hard to tell one swarthy, stocky mediterranean man from another.

Messapians from Illyria on the heel, Samnites in the south center, where Campania is. I presume the Italic groups (Latins, Sabines, Samnites/Oscans, Ligurians, Veneti, Umbri Sicels are the ones I can think of off the top of my head) are all closely related but their individual tribal identity was eventually stamped out by Greco-Roman culture.

sage

USSR was ahead in tank development in 2 periods: the 1930s and 1950s-60s. Other than that they were got really bad behind, and Russian tanks still are a mess

As for why, in the 1930s the USSR was leading technologically in most military fields thanks to some rather brilliant developers and lots of funding going to the army. Stalin's purges hindered further developments badly

In the 50s-60s period it was drawn from the experience from WW2, an experience that was obsolete by the mid-Cold War. This is why Soviet style fast expendable tank swarms get BTFO so bad now

atheists are either really brilliant or really stupid

Do Catholics not call out their fellow Catholics when they think they're philosophically or morally wrong about something?

was Nietzsche an atheist? wasn't his whole philosophy like a great love letter to Being?
