there are socially deviant behaviours that could be classified as evil (like miscgenation). So yes, in a sense, it does exist

>>2476759
Simply epic.

If you mean like some kind of metaphysical or religious force that embodies a total negation of all goodness then no there's no such thing, but if you mean events or behaviors that are really exceptionally cruel or cause suffering on some kind of extraordinary scale then yeah there is

Who you callin' spook, peckerwood?

They are the descendants of the Chaldeans, a priest/sorcerer class of the Babylonians.

They still worship Satan to this day.

>How have the Yazidis able to exist for such a long time without adapting to become a high-IQ society like Jews?

They were never prohibited from farming or working.

Because despite what you might read from a Shariah handbook, Medieval Middle Eastern society didn't actually work like that. The majority of Islamic regimes in the region formed alliances with the aristocratic and mercantile nobility in order to maintain a functional bureaucracy, and actual AllahSnackbar types that took purging infidels and heretics seriously were pretty easily replaced if they weren't absolutely lucky enough to have overwhelming (or independent) military and financial backing.

It also helped that religious zealotry in the Middle East tended to be about some form of self-segregation as opposed to dominating sacred spaces like in Europe.

No. It was made by, admittedly fairly culturally Hellenised (as most people in the East were between Alexander and the early first millenium AD) Nabateans, i.e. Arabs.

>Al-Khazneh was originally built as a mausoleum and crypt at the beginning of the 1st century AD during the reign of Aretas IV Philopatris.[1] Its Arabic name Treasury derives from one legend that bandits or pirates hid their loot in a stone urn high on the second level. Significant damage from bullets can be seen on the urn. Local lore attributes this to Bedouins, who are said to have shot at the urn in the early 20th century, in hopes of breaking it open and spilling out the "treasure"—but the decorative urn is in fact solid sandstone

Fuck modern Arabs.

>why was the near east (the levant) so based? i heard that's where civilization first started

It's because that's where agriculture first became an institution, which led to a labour surplus, the hierarchisation of society and subsequently cities.

Law is a controlling set of strictures as to how a public official will rule in a controversy set before him or her.

>>2476467

Law is a social custom that is enforced by compulsion.

>>2476467

Moral law? Criminal law? Civil law? Maritime law? Laws of Land Warfare? Some reified form known as "Law"?

You're going to have to be more specific.

Arr rook arike.

"Japan" isn't something that can exactly be said to exist in WW2. Unlike most of the other major players in the war, the internal divisions within the Japanese government were great enough to preclude strategy in the classical sense. You can't really speak of "what was Japan trying to achieve" so much as "What was the Japanese army trying to achieve" and what the Japanese navy was trying to achieve, and what this, that, and the other competing interest groups were trying to achieve.

>>2476413
I remember reading something about their being a divide between those trying to expand southward, and those trying to expand westward. Is that what you refer to?

It is an object.

>>2476283
It has that WW2 German cross and the flower icon of medieval France.

I'm pretty sure that Britain broke the Treaty of Paris during the War of 1812.

>>2476148

>implying Americans didn't

>>2476148
did that actually break the treaty though? I can't find anything that backs this up

for example, the treaty of 1818 directly refers to the 1783 Treaty of Paris as if it was still in effect
