Tell me about 1979, /his/.
Wikileaks twitter says:
Vault 7
Year Zero
"If any year could be said to be the ‘year zero’ of our modern era, 1979 is it,” Julian Assange wrote in a statement on the WikiLeaks website. "In 1979 it seemed as if the blood would never stop. Dozens of countries saw assassinations, coups, revolts, bombings, political kidnappings and wars of liberation."
"The invasion of Afghanistan by the USSR would see Saudi Arabia and the CIA push billions of dollars to Mujahideen fighters as part of Operation Cyclone, fomenting the rise of al-Qaeda and the eventual collapse of the Soviet Union," Assange said.
"The rise of al-Qaeda eventually bore the September 11, 2001 attacks in the United States, enabling the US invasion of Afghanistan and Iraq and over a decade of war, leaving, at its end, the ideological, financial and geographic basis for ISIS."

Seems like an arbitrary assignment of significance to a year that's nothing very special on an anthropological timescale.
>>
>>2467992
Ok, anthropological yeah, but as far as modern society goes...?

1979 seems as an ordinary Cold War year.

Hey /his/, I inherited my grandfather's Missal he received when he was young, around 1953. I was wondering if you guys could recognize the image on the front cover. All I can gather from it is a bishop presenting something to a nobleman. Pic related.

the bible was never created for you, it was never written towards Europeans
it was written for dark/brown and black skin bodies.
so you guys historically were never part of the christian picture

The Christianization of Rome and north Europe is actually an incredibly fascinating subject, even outside of the study of religion itself. Also mediterraneans aren't black you dumb shit, you're thinking of West Africans and saudis.
The real answer is that it was the infrastructure of Rome that allowed for culture to spread unilaterally throughout the former empire's territory and beyond, as well as the sovereignty and recognition that being christian brought to leaders which led them to increasingly support expansion of churches, observation of christian events, etc. to their subjects. Also the work of devoted missionaries who saw it as their holy duty to live peacefully among pagan cultures and plant the seeds of acceptance very early on

Is the common man becoming more self aware?

I think it may be the opposite, actually. Commoners seemed much more self-aware 200 or even 100 years ago than they do today.
>>
Humans are self-aware by nature.
>>
>>2467771
In what regards, though?
People might not know they're commoners today, but with the privileges we have compared to then is what would be considered self-awareness even relevant in terms of average intelligence?

Middle school: Christianity was evil. The dark ages were because of the church and no science even happened XD
High school: The church was ACTUALLY great, they were the heirs of the roman empire and kept sacred a lot of greek knowledge. If you disagree you're just an edgy atheist
College: Although the Church did preserve much ancient knowledge, and subsequent gains made in thought came 'out' of the church's past thought, there is absolutely no denying the degrees to which the roman Catholic church suppressed knowledge that was outside of themselves. If edge lords and dissenters like John the Scot didn't do anything, we might still be living in theocracy

Any examples of historical figures overcoming great controversies about their character or personal past?
A King who was once a poor thief or an Emperor that once was caught shitting by a crowd of onlookers. Something really embarrassing.
Please stick to 25+ years.

ITT we post foods and dishes that had historical relevance. Bonus points for staples of life.
Pic related is garum, a condiment or sauce used by greeks and romans. It's basically fermented fish intestines and smaller fishes with salt and various spices namely oregano.
It was so popular among romans due to their fish heavy diet that garum factories were quite popular. The smell that would come out of those factories must have been the most gut wrenching shit ever. Imaging living next to one and waking up every morning to the smell of rotting fish guts.
