Are you the same faggot who was posting this thread the other night? Is this some avant-guard fetish for empathizing with random historical periods?

Imagine the whole history of the world. Imagine all the animals who have been eaten alive, watched their children eaten alive, starved, burned, frozen, drowned, etc, etc. Imagine all the other worlds with their own histories. WWI is literally nothing.

Just KYS.

Now if that'd only happen with a snap of the fingers.

Get used to that face buddy, we are overdue for another one

YHWH slaying leviathan. it's in the Baal Cycle

The whole creation story is partially the Enuma Elish
The Adam and Eve story appeared in Ugarit
The story of Noah is a retelling of the Epic of Atrahasis
Many of the themes are heavily influenced by themes from Mesopotamia and Canaan
Some stuff from the Bible can be found in Gilgamesh
Monotheism probably started in Egypt with Akhenaten, and since Moses is an Egyptian name, there's definitely a case to be made for an Egyptian influence
Finally, the world as a cosmic battle between good and evil can already be found in Zoroastrianism

>The whole creation story is partially the Enuma Elish

I don't remember the part in Genesis with multiple gods who are engaged in cosmic warfare and create the universe out of the corpse of a slain deity. . .

UNESCO - General History of Africa

Well that was easier than I thought. Tiny octopus is pleased.

Are there any other works you or other anons might recommend?

>tfw have disgusting sloping Neanderthal forehead

feels bad man

>>2065355

Neanderthals may have had larger brains because an increase in brain size was the easiest way to negate the effects of harmful mutations which had become fixed because of genetic bottlenecking.

>>2065363
source? humans experienced genetic bottlenecking too, you'd have to figure out a way of quantifying genetic bottlenecking levels to prove it

idk, being able to go from weirdo neet homeless autist in 1909 to being in a position of power to start the biggest war in history in 1939 warrants some kind of respect

>never wavered once in his beliefs
>once in power instead of making deals with the bankers and accumulating wealth he nationalized the banks
>kicked out subversive elements and foreigners, inspired nationalism across Europe

I suppose that the fact that his goals never changed and that he would go to ANY extent to attain those goals deserves some respect. Not once did he flip-flop...on any issue. I also think that his deep love for Germany was absolutely real. Does anyone know, for FACT just why eradication of Jews was soooo damned important??

What is this?

>>2064761
It's some late-war SS camouflage, I think

Of course. The only thing Judaism excels at is its legalism.

Dracula, Codreanu, Eliade... Pretty decent resume for a small state.

Also another example that socialism doesn't work.

They conquered the Caucasus, your argument is invalid

Really makes you think.

Tolkien time and time again stated that he dislike allegory and was honestly attempting to make an original fictional history. While the world in question draws from real-life experiences and is infused with his sets of morals and worldviews, he made painstaking attempts to keep direct allegory out of his works.

Because of Christianity and the egalitarian menace that it spawned.

when the demos degenerated

It's worth remembering that to the Greeks, voting was considered an oligarchic institution because only the wealthy and powerful could compete. Democracy typically elected its officials by ballots, and every citizen had the right to sit in the assembly.

Comparing modern democracy to the original is pointless, because they are fundamentally different systems.

we don't, we are the ones who constantly are tought that we should stop being Eurocentric. while other races don't.

>>2061659
Because there is very little record of it. A lot is talked about of modern colonialism and the North African peoples though, if that still counts for you.

>Implying Africa has a "history" which worths that name.

>Why do postmodernists think they're wise and original

Sophomoric

>What's the appeal

The appeal is that recognizing how recent many things we take for granted are broadens your idea of how things can change. The notion is especially fashionable because talking about it gives the impression you know history and implies you think about social change a lot.

>>2060432
Nationalism is a product of the 19th century though.

19th century was a constructive century.
