people still speak latin

>>2480475
In the case of languages which are not spoken, notwithstanding latin as >>2480487 has observed, I remember that archeolinguists/whatever the term is use poetry to discover the amount of syllables of the word and which is accented.

This technique does not perfectly replicate the language spoken at the time but it would be comprehensible to a speaker of it.

We don't but we can make educated guesses based on many things.

If I read that mess of a question correctly, you want to know if history will be more interesting and enriching to study looking back from 300million years in the future.

Do you not find our last 100k years interesting and enriching? Why do you think the next 300 million years will be any different or more interesting. Unless we somehow manage to achieve economic and political utopia, the next million years will probably be just like the last, disease, famine, massive bloody conflict over resources, conquest of new worlds and mass slaughter of whoever we find there. We will simply spread our violent ape culture across the galaxy with wanton death and destruction just as we always have.

After that point the human species will localize and adapt and evolution will take human populations in different directions on different planets so that there will likely not be a single recognizable species but many thousands of human species evolving separately. From there whole new histories will begin and few people will study or care about the primitive earth dwellers. We will probably be some kind of myth to them. Widely mocked as a hoax, The last possible remnants of our existence, our history, will be the pile of rocks that once resembled great pyramids, but the hieroglyphs will give them as much trouble and the sand and mud will cover them up in time until they too are completely forgotten.

No I don't think that human history will be more interesting in 300 million years. There wont be any humans, or human history preserved except perhaps in vestigial ether of names and ideas that will be completely untraceable, like so many place and thing names that we have now and don't know exactly why they are called that.

I know. Even being born in 2592 would be cooler.

Or would it, could just be a wasteland.

>>2480494
Well, honestly, I knew I made a mess just throwing around verb tenses like that, I tend to pride myself with my English but that was indeed a poorly worded question so I'm sorry.

Now to the actual idea, I think that, however grim, your point is accurate. Still, the way you described our culture and civilization as spurned and snubbed in the future makes me think of how most of us think of the Ancients right now. It's unfortunate. And even if the last 100.000 years were actually enriching(as I've said, the dinosaurs lived for far more than that and still accomplished nothing), I think history is like a huge conveyor belt of suffering for someone wanting to understand the perspective of different people across different times, given that it never ends.

Now that I think of it...hypothetically speaking, if one were to see all of history from the end of time, what would it look like? Not only speaking of humans necessarily now and definitely don't want this to sound like a Doctor Who season question.

I still don't get why the Germans committed such a huge number of forces to capture the entire city when their objective of Baku was way further south.

Control Stalingrad, control the Volga, control the oil going to northern armies. That was the idea anyways.

He was also George Washington. America still belongs to Britain. That's why they have the East India Company stripes on their flag.

absolute mad man

He seems pretty interesting so you'd think we'd have learnt about him in school but William I, Henry VIII, Elizabeth I and Victoria are pretty much the only ones most people will ever learn about

God struck all other notes from the records.

>>2479887

It was only a massacre of the baby boys around Bethlehem so possibly not important enough for anyone to record.

Actually, there was a manuscript recently unearthed from a tomb in Tel Aviv that archeologists carbon dated to the 4th century CE, although it appears to be a copy of an earlier scroll apparently written in debased Latin. I'll paste the relevant paragraph:

>I, King Herod the Great, sovereign over all of Judea, hereby order my trustworthy court historian to record for posterity the glorious incident of when I personally commanded my steadfast and loyal soldiers to systematically murder the newborn sons of an entire village of my subjects. Indeed, the bravery of my troops cannot be described in mere words, as many of the lads were taller than a man's knees, and stronger than most house cats. May this record stand forever as testimony to the justice and magnanimity of my reign! It all began around the year 0 when...

Sadly the manuscript becomes indecipherable at that point.

What episode?

>>2479860

Of course the deepest comprehension of texts will elude anyone who only spends a (relatively) little amount of time with it. Or at least, maybe this is true for most of us with more common types of minds, who need to give as payment portions of our lives by hours before we can begin to understand this or that text.

But they're upfront with it, I mean, the name of the podcast is the "partially" examined life. They begin every episode by basically stating this, but that they were a group of lads who originally wanted to devote their lives to philosophy, but then thought better of it. Thought better of it. They've managed to live the dream as far as I'm concerned, and keep philosophical dialogue and conversation of the sort that you typically only find in universities or in the biggest of cities in their lives. And this in a manner that improves other areas of their lives (it makes em perhaps a little money, raises their social standing, etc.)

And they all seem like a perfectly fun bunch of guys. If I were you, I would ignore the temptation to skip around and just start from the beginning. Maybe you don't desire to study philosophy in such a pell mell manner, but as for understanding them, and seeing them actually grow (or not) in their ideas, the best way remains chronological. That is, you can't help but fall for them after episode 1, where they're wrestling with the ageold, "is there any point to studying philosophy?"

It's good stuff

Cyrus probably lived before the ethnogenesis of the kurds. Certainly if cyrus has descendants, then some of his descendants are kurdish, but you need more evidence before you could claim that he was kurdish as opposed to a half-persian/half-mede which we know he was.

Even if you suggest that the medes and the kurds are the same people, it must be mentioned that his father was persian while his mother was mede.

>>2479696

He was black. His real name is Cyrone. The picture you present is a propaganda work of white people

Very simplistic. It's dubious to characterize opinions on such weighty issues with one vague word.

Also the creator of that chart is not objective.

Yeah they wanted to do it. Just like all those prisoners of war wanted to build a nice railway for you in Burma. Nice try Tojo.
