Just finished this book, and found it to be a pretty interesting Anthropological look at a historical time period.

Have you read it /his/?
What did you think? Good info/insight into the world (or at least England) as it was then?
Similar books? Books that do the same thing better?

But he was like that with Christianity too before he converted to Mani. Then he converted back later.

Manichaeism is literally coexist crap made by some guy who combined a bunch of religious ideologies sand rolled it into one

The rise and fall of polities is overwhelmingly determined by technology and geography, individual merit plays little role, it is just that hierarchy is a natural power structure so there is always some guy at the top who claims the credit for everything.

I don't agree with whiny leftists like John Green. This does not mean they were not great men. Napoleon had to be doing something right when there were plenty of other officers with more money and influence than him who didn't reach the same heights. Also history is the history of people so the pinnacle of these hierarchies is going to be of interest, it is not a crime. I only oppose making the mistake of confusing external factors for individual merit.

If you value individual merit wouldn't you want to know the truth? What really made them tick?
>>
>>2175235
There is no way to distinguish merit from sufficiently good fortune.

Prove me wrong.

President Trump adds some credence to the great man theory within our lifetime. One man with intelligence, charisma, and means managed to challenge the ruling elite and win. This being said, without voters listening to his message he couldn't have succeeded. So it works both ways. A Great man comes to mobilize the masses but someone needs to be there to answer the call.

Why would anyone even want to be a Byzantine emperor? More often then not they end up deposed, killed or blinded and sent to a monastery.
Why not just live a comfy life as a mid-level bureaucrat?

>In the prevailing account, Phaethon, challenged by his playmates, sought assurance from his mother that his father was the sun god Helios. She gave him the requested assurance and told him to turn to his father for confirmation. He asked his father for some proof that would demonstrate his relationship with the sun. When the god promised to grant him whatever he wanted, he insisted on being allowed to drive the sun chariot for a day.[6] Placed in charge of the chariot, he was unable to control the horses. The Earth was in danger of being burnt up and, to prevent this disaster, Zeus was forced to strike down the chariot with a thunderbolt and kill Phaethon in the process.[7]

You either need to be smarter than everyone else, or you need to find someone whose opinion you trust, either because you know them to be impartial or because they have your best wishes at heart, as for example with a parent.

One time, the wind favoured them and Josan + wind blew the Japanese the fuck out.
A lot of the monarchs are buried in this one town not too far from Daegu.
King Josan simplified the characters from Chinese so that more people could be literate. I think there used to be more characters, but some were omitted.
People there do guerrilla gardening, as there is so little space.

I remember all I saw there. There's a term that translates to "Gangnam Girls" because they all have plastic surgery there. Mostly nose and double eyelids, they don't go for tit implants often.

Why was the Babylonian Talmud chosen as the authoritative Oral Torah text over the Jerusalem/Palestinian Talmud?

How do Jews reconcile the two Talmuds if they are both considered to be the Oral Torah in written form?

>>2174501
Probably something with Babylonian supremacy in clerical rulings.
The Babylonian targum was also made the official targum instead of the Palestinian targum but Babylonian and Palestinian pointing were both superseded by the Tiberian pointing.
>>
After the Jews were repatriated to their homeland Babylon still remained the center of scholarship since there was more stability and wealth where as Judaea was probably in need of reconstruction and development. The wars with the Romans didn't help either so the development of religious studies had consistent reason to be centered in the Babylonia region until the Muslim conquests.
>>
>>2174738
A little off topic but I dont understand the whole repatriated thing. Didn't the Babylonians only take the Jewish elite? How did their descendants just step into an already occupied area and take back control without a war?

Weren't the Samaritans Jews who did not get taken and did not accept the changes that took place during that period?
