I've always had something of a passing interest in explorers, especially the Victorian era ones who explored places like Deepest, Darkest Africa but have never really read much into them. So what can you tell me? Interesting stories oer personalities, how many were in it for the knowledge or adventurers looking for glory, things like that. African exploration seems the most interesting to me but really anything will do; Central Asian/SE Asian, navigation, American pioneers and explorers, etc. Any of it really.

Why is Byzantium such a meme country?
Do edgy neckbeards really think the world would be better if the Turks didn't conquer Anatolia from the """"""white"""""" Byzantines?
Why do people try to make alternate histories where the Byzantines are revived after like 300 years and then retake Constantinople?
Mehmed should have genocided all the Greeks in 1453 desu.

Byzantiboos also like to pretend that the Byzantines weren't really BTFO but whiter more christian people 200 years earlier.

There was no such country as "Byzantium". Byzantium was a city in the antique period which was renamed Constantinople, which came to be the capital of the eastern Roman Empire.

Redpill me on the Indies.
Where to start?
Everyone has a rough understanding of Europe, East Asia, and even the Middle East. But the Indian culture area is a mystery beyond vague notions of caste systems, many armed gods, and the odd mention of Alexander's conquest.

Start with indus valley civilization.
Move on to the ancient and medieval indian history. Then the Islamic invasions. Then the britbongs came and finally modern republic of India and Pakistan.

Literally nothing is a mystery in the 21st century. It's all online.

Recently I've become interested in prehistoric humans and had a few questions about this game, is it any good? How historically accurate is it? And are there any other games that you would recommend that would deal with ancient post prehistoric history, during Classical period

It is obviously 100% historically accurate. Anyone who disagrees is spitting on the memory of our greatest ever common ancestor

You get to go back in time and tell a historical figure how they die. (You don't have to say when)
What would happen then, in that timeline?

Regardless, because it's meant for them to die that way, they'd either rush and except their death and get it over with.

Do they get to avoid it?
Because I might have some choice words to Archduke Ferdinand.

And then Germany was completely destroyed twice. Bismarck is overrated as fuck.
>muh stupid system of "diplomacy"
He just took big risks without any thought of the consequences, undid everything since the Congress of Vienna, and ended up destroying his own nation. You can see the worry and pants-shitting terror during his later years, just before and after his dismissal, when he realizes that everything he's done up to that point will probably blow up in everyone's face.

How far back in French history does this laid-back view of infidelity go.
Its crazy considering extra-marital affairs for husbands and wives are so normal in France.
Maybe that's just some prudish Anglo viewpoint.
