What are some historical sites you've visited or are planning to visit? How was your experience? Any advice for future travelers?
Barely traveled poorfag here, pic related

I spent two months backpacking Europe. If you want to try something really cheap, look into a hike called "El Camino de Santiago." It's a "religious" journey that starts in southern France, and through northern Spain. You'll walk through a lot of old Spanish towns. You'll see tons of Churches, one or two castles, and a ton of other historic buildings/sites. You'll also meet tons of travelers from around the world. The best part about it is that it's super cheap. I spent the month crossing, and liberally spent maybe $1,500 total.
Its pretty depressing, visiting China, and realizing literally none of the """"ancient"""" buildings you're visiting are actually original. Basically all of it is a modern facade, less than 100 years old.
>>2030322
Sounds cool, the way of st james has always been one of my dream trips. Im not even religious, I just like comfy old towns and churches, plus I like France and Spain in general. Good to know its cheap.
Are there any movies as good as this one? I saw The Bunker and thought it was pretty bad
Generation War

I saw that a while ago. It was great.
Alexander the ultimate cut was pretty decent.
Do you think that using fiction in the classroom is acceptable when teaching children about history? Are there any times when using fiction is an acceptable tool for teaching children history?
I'm curious to see what a broader range of people think because it's a debate that's come up in recent curriculum workshops for middle school students.
luckily the bible is fact
>>2030093
>middle school students
Children at that level are still learning how to comprehend and analyze information, basically still learning how to be students. The point isn't about them actually learning the history, but providing a foundation and hopefully piquing their interest.
>>2030848
This. It depends on how old the students are. Fiction is much easier for younger students to engage in because it is written with readers of that age group in mind--it's more entertaining, it has structure, it hits certain historical notes. There aren't always effective primary sources that are accessible for younger readers. Of course, you should supplement the fiction with primary sources whenever you can. I've found that non-text primary sources (images--of clothing, paintings, the event itself, are, which are so much easier to find now than when I was a kid) are great for younger kids.
High school is where I would start requiring mostly primary sources for learning about history. Fiction can still be used, either as a starting point or supplement, but once they're about 15-16 it's easier for them to grasp the real deal.
I know this has been asked before in another thread. I find it pertinent to start another.

Even the Han knew what was up.
I originally posted this elsewhere but someone has asked me to post it here:
Putin is the reincarnation of Augustus.
>It will happen when the weather cools.
Perhaps weather cooling refers to the chilling of relations between Russia and the West to the new cold war that Obama/Hillary/Dems have been agitating for.
>That's when they'll make their move.
The Illuminati will try to force the events of revelations to come to fruition.
>The plans laid long ago, before the founding of America, and older still, will come to fruition.
These are very old plans, that probably originated in ancient times.
>They're trying to force God's hand.
Again, the Illuminati trying to bring about the end of times.
>Watch for these signs:
>Three branches will become one.
Executive, Legislative, Judicial have all been taken by Republicans.
>An island will drift away.
Brexit or possibly calexit (not technically an island but it could be a metaphor).
>A killing bolt will shine in the night but will not kill.
Hillary was supposed to win but did not.
1/2...
>>2029954
>The star will gorge itself on clay.
China is taking a bunch of territory in SE Asia.
>Idols will speak and move about.
The Establishment in America is currently freaking out over the Republican takeover.
>The black flag will fly above the dome.
ISIS will take Jerusalem.
>The belly of the dragon will drip water.
A metaphor perhaps for "the dragon" from Revelations, meaning that the end is coming even though the Illuminati is meeting resistance. There will be a period of great conflict in the world.
>Two voices will call out in a silence that all will hear.
Two voices will be silenced, one being Assange, the other not yet known.
>A rock will stand on seven hills.
Not sure at this point. Something to do with "the city on seven hills" from Revelations.
>The ravens will starve.
The London ravens. Signifying the fall of the UK.
>The bear will leave its cave forever.
Putin will lead Russia to global prominence.
>The rod and the ring will strike.
The rod may refer to the fasces, a symbol from ancient Roman times. The ring could refer to the Emperor's signet. Meaning perhaps that Russia will retake Constantinople (I know this was after Augustus but Putin obviously has world knowledge and Constantinople is a major part of the Russian Orthodox Church. Russia has been referred to as the "third Rome"). This could be the defining moment where Putin literally ascends to the title of Emperor.
2/2

Another poster pointed out that the "black flag above dome" reference could actually be to ISIS taking over Istanbul, thus giving Putin his casus belli for retaking Constantinople.

Not sure which Dan out of thousands you are referring to, but my name is not Dan.
You can call me Robert.
First, was there ever a time when the HRE fully involved itself in a war with another nation, with each individual state inside the "empire" attacking the same nation?
The reason I ask is, I was in some EU4 game and I attacked one of them as another HRE member. All of them then proceeded to get into one huge coalition and try to gangbang me and I had to ally myself with Poland to match their numbers and strength.
In the end, it wasn't enough even when I allied myself with Poland, and they killed me and raped my nation.
Secondly, was the HRE actually this powerful if united against a common enemy, compared to the fictional scenario I presented?
>>2029924
>compared to the fictional scenario I presented?
What was that?
>>2029948
Yeah so, you wanna answer my questions or am I going to regret asking this?
We've already figured out life and death. Reincarnation is true, karma matters.
Why is everyone still fighting?
To get the best seats.
Geometry sucks, yo.

Where are these in the bible again?
>Having crushed the Bulgarians, Basil exerted his vengeance by cruelty - he was said to have captured 15,000 prisoners and blinded 99 of every 100 men, leaving one one-eyed man in each cohort to lead the rest back to their ruler. Samuel was physically struck down by the dreadful apparition of his blinded army and died two days later, on 6 October 1014, after suffering a stroke. Although the mistreatment of the Bulgarian prisoners may have been exaggerated, this incident helped give rise to Basil's Greek epithet of Boulgaroktonos, meaning "the Bulgar-slayer", in later tradition.
What the fuck was his problem? In all honesty while being exceptionally cruel this is actually a pretty sound strategic move as now these blind soldiers, useless in combat, now had to be cared and provided for by other Bulgarians. What are other examples of strategically sound brutality in history? Also discuss the fact this dude's name is Basil.
The Golden Horde in 1346 catapulted the bubonic plague-infested corpses of their own men over the walls of Kaffa, in the Crimean Peninsula. It crippled the city and (it's speculated) brought the Black Death right to Europe's doorstep.
>>2029851
That's probably not a very big reason for the Black Death in Europe

Was appeasement really such a bad policy?
The only solution was to balkanize Germany.
Given the circumstances of the time it was probably worth a shot.
If it weren't for Chamberlain giving Britain time to build up its munitions, they would have been devastated by Germany.
He's the most underrated leader in history.

Weren't all odds against? The British were the wealthiest empire on Earth, they had the best navy, they had the assistance of countless Native American tribes and German mercenaries and they had more skilled soldiers. We had France, a few thousand slaves, some Natives Americans and the Dutch. How did they do it?
If God be for us, who can be against us?
>>2029507
>Weren't all odds against?
Nope, the odds were against Britain
Americans love to make their revolution seems more glorious by anachronically implying the British Empire they fought was the same as the late 19th century one, but it's bullshit
Britain was a 2nd rate european power that ended pitched against France (best military in Europe at the time) and Spain (biggest empire in the world at the time)
you forgot the Spanish
