What's better :
>1. Following the religion of your ancestors, because they believed in it.

/v/ and /tv/ are triggered by women using bows because they say only manly men can draw them back. But if this is true why was Artemis associated with it?

Well, guess my dump can wait. Yeah, I can. Would you mind being a bit more specific? I know a lot about East African history, but I don't know where I'd start, since there is so much. In the meantime, have this picture of a Swahili home. This style of architecture goes back 700-800 years.

Because that is a fundamental contradiction in modern conservatism, and if they have to chose between their principles and strength they will choose the latter.

It's true to the extent there was an attempt to cull emus with 3 guys and a machine gun and it was a colossal failure

The pic's a meme, but the Australian government did make several large-scale efforts to eradicate pest emus by military means. They were generally considered inefficent and wasteful.

1783: Treaty of Paris signed
>The American Revolution officially comes to an end when representatives of the United States, Great Britain, Spain and France sign the Treaty of Paris on this day in 1783. The signing signified America’s status as a free nation, as Britain formally recognized the independence of its 13 former American colonies, and the boundaries of the new republic were agreed upon: Florida north to the Great Lakes and the Atlantic coast west to the Mississippi River.

Daniel Defoe's Robinson Crusoe is based on a real person. His name was Alexander Selkirk and he was a Scottish-born Royal Navy privateer who spent 4 years marooned on a small desolated island in South Pacific. He was rescued by another privateer Woodes Rogers, who would later become a governor of Bahamas and destroy the self-proclaimed Pirate Republic based at Nassau. Selkirk's story caused great interest in England and directly inspired Defoe to write his famous work.

The frigate USS Constellation, one of the first purpose built ships of the US Navy was disassembled and its parts were used to build the sloop-of-war of the same name.
As such, the ship is in a gray area as to whether or not it's extant (in existence).

Perhaps the final nail in the coffin of classical culture was the Islamic capture of Egypt, sole source of papyrus, and their reluctance to trade with infidels.

Stalin ordered them to stand down,he didn't want to instigate the German,also the Russians are poorly organized due to the recent purges
also the eastern steppes are perfect grounds for German maneuver warfare,the only advance where the German had trouble was with the Southeastern front in the Pripyat marshes

After the purge, all the remaining generals took time in the planning room to see who could have the most vodka. Needless to say, they got piss drunk and just started drawing shit on the map and everyone just went with it.
