Mesolithic: millennia prior to the end of the last ice ace c10,000 BC - precivilised hunter gatherers
Neolithic: ~10,000 BC to ~3,000 BC - Early proto-civilisation, development of agriculture, first cities in the fertile crescent
Bronze Age: ~3,000 BC to ~1,200 BC - Rise of the first kingdoms and nations, ended by the 'Big Chimpout' AKA the Bronze Age Collapse (Egypt managed to dodge it)
Late Bronze Age: ~1,200 BC to ~800 BC - We don't know shit about what happened here, mostly barbarism
Iron Age/Classical Era: ~800 BC to ~400 AD - Basically everything cool happened in here, begun with the reemergence of Greek citystates, ended with the fall of the WRE
Dark Ages (get triggered faggots): 410/476 AD to 9th century AD - WRE fell, barbarians everywhere, muslims, ERE trying to not die, ends with conquests of Charlemagne
Early Middle Ages: 9th century AD to 1066/1099 AD - Feudalism takes hold, Europe kinda peaceful compared to pre-Franks, Muslims fucking everywhere, ERE gets very close to ded, ends with Norman Conquests if you're British, First Crusade if you're not
High Middle Ages: 1066/1099 AD to 1350 AD - Crusades, Knights, chainmail, Venice, 1204 never forgetti, maximum feudalism, Mongols, ends with the Black Death
Late Middle Ages: 1350 AD to 1492 AD - 1453 a date which will live in infamy, HRE no longer unified, Ottomans, Hundred Years War, B U R G U N D Y, beginning of scientific revival, ends with the discovery of the New World

After the end of the Middle Ages, the idea of 'ages' gets a lot more vague, as things like the Renaissance and the Enlightenment were very broad spans of time, the only other really defined ones were the Revolutionary/Napoleonic Era (1792 to 1815), the Victorian Era (1837 to 1901), and the Cold War (1945 to 1991), which were marked by the dominance of one particular nation on the world's stage.

Yes this entire post is Eurocentric. The rest of the world is just a backdrop upon which European civilisation has acted. Get fucked.

>British Empire god-tier
>Poland-Lithuania in top-tier,
>Ummayad so low (yes they are muslims, but really?)

Take Napoleonic France to god-tier, bring at least Tang China and the U-Mad-Arabs into top, include the Portuguese Trade Empire, Andalusia, Hungary, Sun-King-France and some pre-british english in there, as well as the Timurids, and you forgot fucking Persia you retard.
Pretty good list otherwise

Is this the power of AnCap intellectuals?

why is zweihander so powerful in comparison to the other weaponry?

>>2247882

Reach. All the dudes he fights in that clip have to advance past the length of his weapon in order to strike at him. Meanwhile, all he has to do is poke 'em.

He still lives in the music of his namesake band.

he was merely the first casualty of furries

Lots of corruption, or alleged corruption.

Multiple dancers have left the company and said that the female dancers are pressured into relationships with wealthy sponsors in exchange for promotions and roles. One former prima ballerina at Bolshoi said there were informal rules where if the ballet hosted formal sponsor banquets, you were expected to attend and if a sponsor expressed interest you should sleep with him. If you didn't, during the next season you didn't get the roles you wanted or weren't sent out on tour. An American dancer claimed she was told she either needed to pay $10,000 or start a relationship with a sponsor to get the roles she wanted. Specifically she claims she was told

>Joy, you don’t have a sponsor. You need to have some kind of sponsor who can somehow sort of speak for you… There is no other way to do things in our theater now

Then there are accusations of a lot of behind-the-scenes backstabbing and politics that keep people from promotions or roles or otherwise elevating themselves in the company. This is what one dancer claims led him to attack the director by throwing acid in his face.

Essentially, allegedly, the practices of pre-Revolution Russian ballet have continued into the modern era. Most corruption in other ballet companies is related to funds being used inappropriately (see the recent Paris Ballet drama) but with Bolshoi it's more old school.
