What did he mean by this?

The same thing that make Muhammad and Buddha the most salient figures in all of human history.

nice, I would love to dig there and find random things

>>3326817
yeah, im pretty sure it's where they dumped clay pots that they used for transporting olive oil

I bet the remains of a few poor murder victims are in that pile.

They won IRL.

>>3326811
No on both cases.

I think the war could well have been won without a soviet union yes

It says people who hold the camera vertically should die.

That's in English you dipshit

Hey, I live in New Haven. When the sun rises why don't I come on down in person and see for myself?

Well, most of their equipment is completely fabricated. But I guess it's more about stylisation than anything else.

>>3326613
What about the idea of cities that are just square blocks in the middle of nowhere?

How about lifting a carriage with your penis? That was probably in the actual Chinese texts.

Are you retarded? They have fucking guns. Who gives a fuck what kind of little bitty swords they carried.

>>3326573
Artillerymen don't always have their guns close to hand my dude. Things came down to hand to hand combat a lot more often than you might expect in the 19th century

It was meant as a tool, not as a weapon. /thread

They feared the Jungle nogs

Too much trouble, better to just make them pay you

>>3326576
>make them pay you

And give bazillion shits jungle nogs can't make in return. Tributary Kingdoms ALWAYS benefited more from the Middle Kingdom then Middle Kingdom would from them. What's worse was that sometimes tributaries would just switch clients if it benefited them more.

In retrospect, the obvious correct strategy was to focus on Russia while defending in the West. Also avoid invading Belgium and talk a lot about liberating Poland and so on in order to weaken Allied sense of moral rightness.

>>3326524
Cont. Russia had to be offered good peace terms, though. Trying to gobble up huge chunks of Russia would have driven the West into a panic about the possibility of a dominant Germany with a controlling position on the continent. But Germans had a hard time limiting their aims for some reason.

Not after the Marne, that was their one shot

Either terracotta or wood. I'd assume earthenware was the standard just about anywhere.

Clay cups? It's not exactly complex to shape mud into a cylinder and bake it.
Horns are just more ornate, expensive, and possibly phallic. They also have a larger capacity.

clay, wood, copper

They didn't fear the black warrior as much as they should have.

Paraguay was autismal about clay.

Both incidences were started by territorial disputes versus neighbors.

The Arabs had access to resources, they just had to import it or migrate to someplace that did. The Congo's problem isn't that it lacks resources, it's that it's much more isolated.

>>3326416
Arabs were situated at the crossroads of Western and Eastern civilization. They produced very valuable incense and perfumes and made a lot of wealth through these rare resources as well as facilitating trade between India and the Mediterranean.

Jungles are notoriously piss poor when it comes to raising crops or maintaining an agrarian lifestyle.

Most Arabs didn't live in the fucking desert outside of bedouins, they lived along the perimeter of the peninsula. It was actually quite fertile 2000+ years ago, climate change and desertification have altered that over the last centuries. They also had access to the Mesopotamian and Mediterranean empires, so trading was a viable option.

It is traditional Anglo attire.

>>3326413
bump for interest, i know that because the current nation-state system and current corporate systems generally were set up by europeans and that was what europeans wore so it got spread around the world to developing nations. However i have no idea why europeans adopted it as their preferred style of dress for people of wealth and status, especially considering it hardly actually indicates wealth status or power compared to the attire of, say, the french nobility of the 18th century.
