When did you realize the One True Religion is actually Zoroastrianism? I assume by now you've apologized to your parents for your juvenile "christian" phase.

How did a tiny, rocky wasteland become the birthplace of Western civilization?
There were many more fertile, pleasant places in Europe, yet it was in Greece where we see civilization in Europe flourish for the first time.

Its not cold, also Greece was covered in forest back in the neolithic era.
Was there any possible way for the South to win (or at least survive as an independent nation) the Civil War?

The MOST they'd do is recognize The South as an independent nation, which would kill Lincoln's chances of reelection in the North.
But British or French troops would never fight in the civil war

>It is recorded that the Polish cavalry slowly emerged from the forest to the cheers of the onlooking infantry, who had been anticipating their arrival. At 4:00 pm the Polish hussars first entered into action, battering the Turkish lines and approaching the Türkenschanze, which was now threatened from three sides (the Poles from the west, the Saxons and the Bavarians from the northwest and the Austrians from the north). At that point the Turkish vizier decided to leave this position and retreat to his headquarters in the main camp further south. However, by then many Ottomans were already leaving the battlefield.
>The allies were now ready for the last blow. At around 6:00 pm the Polish king ordered the cavalry attack in four groups, three Polish and one from the Holy Roman Empire. Eighteen thousand horsemen charged down the hills, one of the largest cavalry charges in history. John III Sobieski led the charge at the head of 3,000 Polish heavy lancers, the famed "Winged Hussars". The Lipka Tatars who fought on the Polish side wore a sprig of straw in their helmets to distinguish themselves from the Tatars fighting on the Ottoman side. The charge easily broke the lines of the Ottomans, who were exhausted and demoralized and soon started to flee the battlefield. The cavalry headed straight for the Ottoman camps and Kara Mustafa's headquarters, while the remaining Viennese garrison sallied out of its defenses to join in the assault.

Why wasn't prophetry a thing in Europe like it was in the Middle East, i.e. for example some Viking claiming divine inspiration from a new god and cursing Odin as a dirty idol?

The particular concept of prophet we have today as a monotheist iconoclast champion and moral reformer comes from the Middle East. You had plenty of holy men in Europe, just not ones that followed jealous and social engineering gods.

So I decided to return to university to study for a postgraduate degree in history
>over 50% of students female
>over 75% of professors female
>haven't spent a single seminar discussing actual historical events, only things like 'sex in the 16th century', 'race and racisms', 'inequality in early modern London' etc
>course convener openly said that readings are selected for diversity (at least one author must be female)
>same convener said that authors are removed for unrelated reasons (e.g. David Starkey was removed from all reading lists for his comments on the 2011 London riots)
>all history seems to be viewed through the lens of deconstructionist post-modernism
This isn't what I signed up for. I read Carlyle's 'Past and Present' and saw that the study of history can be pure joy and transcendental truth, and so thought I could dedicate my life to it.
The reality of modern academia seems to be the exact opposite. If I want to change this I would have to work my entire life against impossible odds.
I gave up my career to do this but feel like it was a huge mistake.
Any other anon's having issues with studying history at college/university?

Hypothetically speaking, what would happen if Manstein and Guderian never did a revision of Fall Gelb, which allowed the panzers to break through Ardennes? Would the Germans get stuck in Belgium like in the previous war? Note that the OKW was initially against revision of plan, seeing it as madness.
Sometimes i get the notion that the Western campaign succeeded only because the panzers somehow miraculously got through Ardennes.

Who really are the Turks and the turkish people ? I don't get the turkish identity. Are they Asians ? Did they really look like the Mongols ? What do people living in Turkey today have in common with Kirghizs, Mongolians, Uzbeks ? It seems to me that modern Turks have nothing in common with Central Asians. Turkish culture has seemingly no Asian influence, it's closer to Arabs and Greece. Aren't Turks just islamized Byzantines ?
Picture related : first result when I type 'turkish people'. She looks nothing like Erdogan or Mehmed II.

I often wonder this as well. If both Anatolia and Egypt were ruled by Turkic mercenaries (Ottomans and Mamlukes), why is Egypt 'Arab' and Anatolia 'Turkic'?

Can anyone explain Wahhabism to me and how it's relationship with the House of Saud actually works?
It seems to be that the latter is completely self-contradictory. On one had, the Saudi fund the export of Wahhabism on a massive scale, yet at the same time they are terrified of it on their own home turf.

1) It served the purpose of the House of Saud. So fuck the Wahhabs, they can go away now.
2) Keeps the neighbors weak.
t.b.h. Saudi Arabia is the most undeserving of being a hegemon. It sickens me that more sophisticated Arabs listen to people from one of the most backward, xenophobic countries in the planet.

It was created by a retard that had no grasp of what Islam was. His family thought he was insane and his brother who was a reputable scholar wrote a book explaining how retarded he was.
There first order of business was killing a bunch of Shia Muslims and destroying Muslim artifacts, such as the graves of the Prophet's family. Very islamic.
They altered the Quran removing verses that they accuse of idol worship of Muhammad.
The mourning of a lost loved one is shirk because you idolate them by mourning, and will be killed.
They literally teach that you if you kill a Shia (Muslim) you will eat lunch with the Prophet in paradise.
Apparently committing a sins makes you a kaffir and they kill/torture you. And they make up their own definitions of what sins are. In Saudi Arabia there's been whippings of people simply for playing card games.
Why Saudi and many Gulf countries teach this horrible innovation of Islam I have no idea. I'm pretty certain it's politically motivated.

So I'm reading about Alexander and I'm wondering how the hell did this guy get a good reputation? He's a kill crazy psycho tyrant taking over the world and mass murdering everyone in his path. Is it just because he's European he gets to be portrayed as some Enlightened conquoror spreading rationalism and Western civilization? He's not exactly spreading civilization, as he's conquoring areas that are already developed. Egypt's civilization is older than Greece's I mean, if this guy was Eastern and did the same thing he'd be demonized as Satan himself for all of history.
napoleon somehow gets the same treatmetn too when he's just a massive prick.
We seem to have this heroic warrior romantic image that we want to buy into.

I'm no expert on Alexander, but didn't his conquests ultimately cause a spread of Hellenic culture? I've heard that's why Buddhism has some Hellenic influences (or at least some types of Buddhism.)
I don't see why you take much issue with Napoleon though, a lot of his wars were defensive, and he wasn't completely contrary to revolutionary ideals like many people think he was.

The dude in this video is right, we all need to make sure our rights are clear and safe, regardless of religion or non-religion. The ore we divide ourselves, the more we become prey.
We have to be understanding of one another.
Let's not forget, America is also governed by the people, the truth is that the people can make the difference within themselves, amongst each other, and even for the rights of their neighbors in their countries.

It's kind of political, but mainly the spirit behind it is philosophical
It is religious. The Muslim is talking about unity to protect our rights, is more philosophical than political, philo - love sophy - wisdom.
If we love wisdom, or "have philosophy", love for wisdom, we can see this isn't a political debate, but a stance of straight wisdom
