I disagree, he was the best of them all. Absolutely no fucking doubt, but we've had many other good ones. Carl XII was amazing before his ego grew that much

Friendly reminder that India does not and has never had any toilets.

I only know of random examples of toilets, and mainly stuff about waste disposal. there isn't a lot of historical records on waste disposal in a lot of civilizations, probably because it was either seen as uninteresting to write about or unpleasant.

the aztec and incas both utilized aqueduct systems that pushed human waste to a centralized point, where it could then be moved and used as fertilizer. the city of tenochtitlan had a particularly efficient system for this, where they could easily move human waste collected in deposits from moving water to floating farm works via canoe. they with the incas arguably had one of the most impressive pre-modern waste disposal systems, one of the few things they did better than many other historical emergent civilizations.

edo japan had trenches beneath boards to stand on while squatting, or containers underneath more luxurious squat toilets. people as their form of producing income would have collection routes, where they would collect as much human waste as they could and sell it as manure. human shit manure was actually a quite valuable resource around the city.

they were among the first to use toilets connected to sewage systems in civilization, ironically.

Friedman was the most influential monetary economist of the 20th century. Probably second in overall economics to Keynes.

Don't constitute Anglo nations per se

Because they lost several important battles in a row. Being "hot shit" doesn't make you invincible.

>Being "hot shit" doesn't make you invincible.
I wish more people knew about this. It seems both people, and certain countries, think that because they're "hot shit" they are untouchable.

It's hubris. Most people don't even sit down and read a fucking book. They don't care about learning of other nations' histories or cultures beyond memeing. This new trend of memes is symptom of greater cultural decline and anti-intellectual attitudes.

It's fine if people aren't interested in Persian culture, but it pisses me off when they feel compelled to give derogatory opinions without studying the nation's history.

Pretty sure its from St.Valentine. Even before that it may have been a pagan holiday. Like everything else in America, liberalism, consumerism, secularism and capitalism have stripped it of all meaning besides a nice excuse to do something different.

There are plenty of Golden Age or prehistory myths so people of the past definitely had an idea that something came before them.

This is the single most absurd thing about the NT to me.

>Mary is a virgin, God is Jesus' real father
>the Gospels literally begin with reciting all of Joseph's ancestors to prove Jesus is the rightful king
It doesn't make the tiniest bit of sense to me

Yeah I've never understood this. The Genealogy of Jesus in Matthew is all of Joseph's ancestors even though Jesus is (supposedly) not even related.

Its more of an heir thing. It doesn't matter if they are related biologically
