People watch Kingdom of Heaven or some other Hollywood crap and actually think that the Church just wanted to kill as many muslims as possible and conquer the Middle East out of sheer bigotry and imperialism, completely ignoring the domestic factors like getting your fucked up nobles to fight a common enemy rather than each other at the country's expense.

Also, this idea that the Church actively repressed science and kept people in the dark while in reality they were the only ones who kept it from being lost. I'm not even a Christian but this whole "muh evil church" narrative pisses me off, it's almost exactly how the Church itself used to talk about the Roman pagans.

That everything was bleak and boring when That was the time beautiful churches were built and great music and songs were composed
Also the fucking thing about nobles having the right to the brides Virgin pussy, fuck that

So you’re telling me you lack the mental ability to comprehend the theory of evolution by means of natural selection and don’t understand how technology and civilizations developed over time?

The iq distribution of Pol Pot's regime probably looked the same. Intelligent and capable people always rise to the top in pretty much any government. Who knew.

By and large you don't descend from one or the other - the vast majority of modern Egyptians would have some blood from the invading Arabs and some blood from the native stock of the country. But there have been numerous studies done here, and it seems like the invasions account for less than 10% of the DNA in the Modern Egyptian population. You can find more information here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNA_history_of_Egypt

What's interesting to note here, though, is that the ancient Egyptians spoke an Afro-Asiatic language, related to the Semitic languages like Arabic and Hebrew, as well as the Berber and Ethiopian languages. So the DNA of the ancient Egyptians seems to have been much closer to that of the Arabs' ancestors than to those of sub-Saharan Africa. It makes the analysis more complicated, because you have two waves of Afro-Asiatic people coming in - first the ancestors of the ancient Egyptians, then the Arabs who invaded their descendants.

But overall, it looks like the vast majority of the modern Egyptian bloodline comes from the pre-Arab ancestors, which isn't surprising.

>>2615702

So Arabs did not chase away all the Black Egyptian people and replace them

>>2615743
Replacing all the native people is very difficult, it only happened a few times in History.

Normans did nothing wrong, they were a much welcomed improvement over their unwashed, barbaric distant cousins

>>2615642
The Norman conquest of Sicily might interest you as a counterpoint. They brought a good measure of stability to the region thanks to their military prowess.

currently reading 5 rings and meditations and I am liking them so far. You could try "either/or" by Soren Kierkegaard (early existentialist christian philosophy) or maybe "the temple of the golden pavilion" by Yukio Mishima (more "literary" but mishima had some weird political beliefs and ideals about imperialism and duty)

Americans and Australians love to fight so when their hands are tied and they aren't allowed to fight then you have problems.

>>2615526
The nature of certain conflicts makes it politically to costly to go full scale in warfare either for external or internal reasons. Futhermore, the UNITED STATES and Australia have a keen interest in keeping trade cheap and easy so they often work together in military conflicts.

I'm sure people have analysed some abstract painters such as Miro, Kandinsky, or Klee from the perspective of iconography

>>2615525
After creating this thread I was searching around for some examples and came across this of Pollock's work

http://danploy.com/art_history_chapter_2.htm

I began writing a paper analyzing an abstract piece & the paper is due tomorrow. Nearly halfway through and I thought: what if I was supposed to be writing about representational art...? as I hadn't found much discussion on iconography in abstract work while looking to my sources.

If anyone is interested in art/studied in any art field and is willing to proofread or provide feedback I would appreciate it. So far I'm really proud of what I've come up with & interested myself in it far more than I would've imagined.

>>2615565
It depends on the degree of abstraction. Most abstract art lends best to formalist analysis, but as that site suggests you can apply iconographical analysis to anything that has figures or symbols. You'd need evidence though, like what the artist had been exposed to in his learning, the artist's writing, past examples in other works, similar examples in similar works (or to similar ends). "This line represents sadness" is not very effective, but there are abstract works where colour is used specifically to evoke certain responses. But as I said, evidence is the most important thing, except if you're talking about your own subjective engagement with the work (based on what you'd been exposed to in your learning, etc.)
