For reasons beyond your understanding or control, you have been given the task of copying one book or document that will be preserved for over a thousand years. You have to write it out by hand, on vellum, in India ink. The text must be copied exactly, but you can make notes and add illustrations. You have one year to decide what you will copy out and ten years to complete the job. What do you choose to save?
Absolutely fucking nothing from here.

Is it possible to get a good job with a degree in History, Geography and Arts?
>>2128224
Sure. Move to Seattle, you can make $15 an hour flipping burgers there.
>>2128224
depends what country you're in, tradespeople and labourers get pretty good money in a country like australia but shit money in usa due to the illegal immigration
you can also go to university and got a real degree it might increase your chances of a good job but by then you would be in huge debt and 30 years old with no actual experience
>>2128224
Depends on where you live and what you define as a "good job"
You're not going to make doctor money. But you can do decently for yourself if you're lucky. I'd recommend double majoring or minoring in history and getting a more practical major.
A humanities degree looks better when coupled with something else.
What you you folks think of this trilogy?

Picked it up for cheap today, but will return if you guys don't approve.
Why the hell was Turkey allowed to keep the European half of the Bosphorus Strait after WWI? Talking about the land in pic related.
Who negotiated this deal?
>>2128062
The entire Bosporus region was meant to be internationally administered. Ataturk won it back.
>>2128062
Perfidious Albion, who else?
>>2128062
Turkey negotiated about it. They fought a war agaisnt ottomans England France Italy and Greece and won. Well saying a war agaisnt England France and Italy is a little unfair. England never sent any troops and only aided greeks, French got blasted by the turkish milita and left and Italy was angry over izmir so they pretty much just left.
When will this meme end?
The wage gap isn't real, or at the very least meaningless, if that is what you are asking

Is this a named social phenomenon: When an idea seems to have "momentum" such that it eventually becomes accepted among the people?
For example, the media where I live, and the internet in general is constantly pushing fearmongering about how WW3 is inevitable in light of recent events, and because Trump and Putin are stocking up on nukes. I know all-out nuclear war is highly unlikely (because ultimately no-one benefits from it and you risk screwing yourself completely), but the idea that WW3 is inevitable seems to be taking hold, and eventually it may become reality just because the idea has momentum, eventually seeming like the only logical conclusion, kind of like a society-scale echo chamber with confirmation bias. Or am I just being paranoid?

>>2127295
Yeah I guess if history has shown us one thing it's that people who make predictions, no matter how rational and sound, usually end up being totally wrong (e.g. Trump's <5% chance to win). Nobody has said anything concrete yet but when they do, maybe the opposite will happen instead.

Hey /his/ my girlfriends grandmother found this old postcard her mother had gotten from a relative in Germany. She wanted to know it's worth and some pawn shop offered her 10 dollars for the stamps but then panicked when she said she would just tear up the postcard itself when the stamps were off. Card seems to be from Nuremnerg. Other side coming in comments.
Also, general historic artifact/antiquarian thread?
The postcard itself is just general wellwishing howdoyoudo type stuff, dated August 1st, 1939 (only a month or so before the invasion of Poland?). The two stamps say 'deutches Reich' and look like they have Wilhelm or Bismarck on them. Swastika stamped which is part of the reason why gf's brother wasn't able to get anything from Ebay.
>>2127137
I can't read that shit, scan it right
>>2127128
I doubt the party let postcards in.
Has a single good thing ever happened to this country?
Why does God have it out for this place?
This is what happens when you have really thick-ass jungles.
You get an ungovernable country, and sooner or later the countries that do have it together start to play games.
See: Burma, Colombia, Papua New Guinea for different flavors of the game phenomenon.
>>2127131
Ghana's doing okay (by African standards) and most of their population lives in the jungle-covered parts.
>>2127142
Ghana was lucky enough to be monoethnic and get some good leadership when they were starting out.

Can anybody identify this seal or the language the text is written in? At first I thought it was Latin but Google Translate didn't get me anywhere. It might be some sort of Ligurian dialect or something.

What's the appropriate board to discuss economics: /his/, /biz/ or /pol/?
>>2126299
/biz/ definitely. Right now it's full of retarded teens blowing their parents' savings on forex memes PRECISELY because people who want to discuss economic theory post it on unrelated boards like /pol/ and /his/. Make /biz/ great again.
>>2126299
It depends upon when the economics took place, and whether you wish to discuss their broader causes and effects.
>>2126299

Assuming we cant give every ethnic group and tribe a state (because that would be retarded), and assuming no colonial borders or institutions (because that is also retarded).
What would be the best borders be for Africa?
Doesn't matter the concept of nation states won't survive the 21st century in fact it's already breaking down.
We will see a reversion to independent city states sharing common economic zones.

This would be best.

Why did he always do this particular wave where he puts his open palm above his head, is there a name for it? And how come he seems to be the only one who does it? Was it a type of salute reserved for him or is that just how he waves?
Here's the standard "Roman salute" or whatever you want to call it
