Well, not exactly, people still sacrifice animals to this day in Mexico. Some things just got replaced as offerings, like I know in some places coca cola is offered to saints which are basically masked ancient deities.
Why is that so?

How did 1919 Poland have the military to beat the Soviets? Their country hasn't even existed a year before, where did the command structures, equipment, and so on come from?
With the help of Christ.
They needed a Jagiellon.

I'll start off with the islamic """""""""golden age"""""""

>I'm going to act like an entire documented period never happened because im butthurt about islam due to modern politics
you have no place in history.
We all know how these threads go
>It never happened
Yes it did look at all this evidence
>Okay but they werent muslims
Yes they were
>Okay but they weren't arabs
and?
>uhhh, IT NEVER HAPPENED
Since a lot of what I've read here seems to hinge on the "Islamic" character of the age, I suppose I'll try my hand at explaining it. Others have already pointed out that the term was a Western concept first, so I'll say the more accurate term is Islamicate Golden Age to start. No serious historian considers the age a myth, and the idea that all of it was merely stolen or a continuation and pale imitation of Byzantine and Sassanid intellectualism only exists among certain political circles. So until we start seeing serious papers defending this notion, that's all there is to it.
Now then, to begin with, the Islamic Golden Age rides on the shoulders of its great thinkers who inspired Latin thought in the 12th Century Renaissance and beyond. Almost to a fault, these were polymaths who made their living at some point or another as religious judges the same way many pre-Renaissance Latin thinkers were priests. The intellectual tradition of these men comes from their mobility, their drive to wander and learn from multiple teachers and to acquire in text where they can't travel. And this tradition comes directly from early Muslim Hadith scholarship, a form of intellectual piety where Muslims would travel and seek out masters who would teach them important sayings of Muhammad and his companions as a way to bring themselves closer to the theoretical purity of the first Muslim generation.
This is the 'Islamic' character of this intellectual period, and why it did not happen in the three centuries before Islam or the first century and a half after its first coming. The intellectual tradition of the golden age is directly related to the religion's development in the 8th and 9th century, and when the religion changed and this tradition disappears starting in the 12th century, a slow decline becomes apparent.

HOW MUCH ARE YOU BEING PAID TO SPAM THREADS AGAINST NATIONAL SOCIALISM, ADOLF HITLER, MOHAMMEDANISM, CHRISTIANITY, AND THEISM IN GENERAL, EVERY DAY —OR ARE YOU DOING IT FROM YOUR OWN JEWISH COMPULSION?
>God is omnipresent
Well then how come I can't see him?
>>2507780
Is this bait? To play Devil's advocate, you can't see air either. Being omnipresent does not necessitate that something be visible.

No but I can otherwise detect it.
>Being omnipresent does not necessitate that something be visible.
Well maybe he's invisible. But surely if he's legitimately everywhere there must be some way to notice this.

Post funny anecdotes about philosophers
I'll start with a classic:
>One ancient account of the death of Chrysippus, the 3rd century BC Greek Stoic philosopher, tells that he died of laughter after he saw a donkey eating his figs; he told a slave to give the donkey neat wine with which to wash them down, and then, "...having laughed too much, he died"

Backstory
Sayings of Diogenes the Maddest:
>When he was once entering the house of a courtesan, and one of the lads who was with him blushed, he said, 'It's not going in that is bad, but unable to get out again.'.
>Seeing a young man behaving in a giddy and deranged fashion, he said, 'Young man, your father must have been drunk when he begot you'.'
>"Seeing an old woman beautifying herself, he said, 'If that's for the living, you're out of your wits, if it's for the dead, don't be too slow about it."
>"When someone chided Diogenes on seeing him coming out of a brothel, he said, 'What's the matter then, should I have been coming out of your house?'
>"Seeing an Ethiopian shitting, he said, 'Just like a leaky cauldron!'"
>"Seeing a woman who was beautiful but small, he said, 'That's what they call a half-evil.'"
>"When someone pointed out to him that a woman was being carried away by a river, and said, 'Lets try to save her', he replied, 'Oh let the notorious evil be carried away by another evil.'
>"Diogenes was admonishing a man of thoroughly bad character, and when someone asked him what he was doing, he replied, 'Scrubbing an Ethiopian to turn him white.'"
[when Diogenes was a slave]
>"It is said that when he observed that one of the purchasers, who was suffering from the female disease [an eunuch], was not at all masculine in his appearance, he went up to him and said, 'Why don't you buy me, since it seems to me that you could do with a man.'"
>"When someone asked him, "What sort of a man do you consider Diogenes to be, he [Plato] replied, 'Socrates gone mad'"
>"Diogenes would constantly say that to manage our lives properly, we need either reason or rope."
Is it true that there is a cult of scientism and 'skeptic' communities replacing religion in the west? Is pop science a new dogma led by people like Bill Nye and Neil deGrasse Tyson and followed by hip millennials in the hope of looking better and smarter than others?
No but there's idealist morons who want people to buy the bullshit spin that there's an epic scientist conspiracy in order to spread anti-intellectualism when in reality it's just men in white coats devoting their lives to being nerds.
Kill yourself.
It's been true in various forms since at least the 1700s. Probably even earlier with humanism and the like. IMO they completely won the culture war by the 1960s.

I am looking for information on European round shields from between 6-10th century. The type the early Slavs would use to be more specific.
What type of wood was used?How thick was it? What was the most common shield size at the time?
What was the most common symbol displayed on the shields?
>>2507490

This was the most common symbol of Slavic round shields by far.
