Were they right? Was the stirrup really one of the most important inventions in human history? As important as the printing press and the wheel?

No, it wasn't that important, and it's been overrated by armchair historians who, if they've ever ridden a horse to begin with, could only learn to do it with stirrups.
You can learn to mount and ride a horse into battle, even pull off complicated maneuvers and shock tactics, without one. There were cavalry in history who, despite knowing of them, preferred to forego any stirrups whatsoever, such as the Moorish jinete.

It was a game changer in the east because most -if not all- cavalrymen there were goddamn horse archers.
>>
>>1869686
stirrup allowed for the full force of the horse to be transferred into a lance more efficiently, theres a big benefit for recurve bow firing, but I'm not familiar with that one.
Its pretty important in general for making horse riding easier.

Christians vs Pan-arabists/Proto-Hizballs vs Colonial Gubernmend forces.
All being backed by different factions, like the Christians with Israel, Pan-arabists by Arab nations and the Colonial gubermend by USA, KSA, Jordan, etc.
Basically, your average arab conflict but inside a single nation instead of a clusterfuck all over the ME.

Who do you think is the true aggressor in the punic wars? was it the Romans and their jealousy of their wealthy neighbours? or was it Carthage aspiring to Conquer new lands from a (sort of) old frined?

If genetics can explain the differences and similitudes among human groups, why does this in pic related happen?
What are the actual historical/scientific justifications for this, as clearly Western Africans and Western Europeans don't look the same and it seems they have never looked the same?

Since not all Roman generals rose from the rank & file, who the hell trained Roman nobles & aristocrats in a military capacity? It seems that random senators just got military appointments. Like Roman senators & nobles can be pulled for military command and the senate is just really a talent-pool of jack of all trades cunts as opposed to a bureaucratic organ of administration specializing in that alone.
Not to mention who armed them? Do Roman generals and nobles had uniforms? Looking at art they seem to have just the meme muscle cuirass and the crested helmet

Roman generals just bought their own shit ever since the beginning.
Except the army ended up having standardized, state-supplied equipment while generals continued buying their own shit from craftsmen.

Education for all the rich kids in Rome was private. You hired a tutor and they taught you. If you were grooming a patrician, then military matters would be part of that education.

That is in fact exactly how it went down a lot of times.

Crassus wasn't a noble and literally just volunteered himself to go after Spartacus bought his military commission by using his own fucking money from his considerable fortune acquired from real estates. He personally armed, equipped, and supplied his own legions.

The ancient architecture of the leveant. Was it basically a mix of Roman, Mesopotamian, and and Egyptian civilizations?
Is this what ancient Judean, Phonecian, etc architecture would be like?

By the time of the Islamic conquest it was pretty much all Byzantine/Roman/Greek. Pic related is from 475 AD.
Earlier Canaanite (including Hebrews and Phoenicians) and Syrian civilizations had more Mesopotamian-style architecture.

I have been having an itch in watching history videos. But, I have exhausted my list of channels on youtube.
I want to dig as deep as I can with the posters here. I have yet to find many great youtube channels about history.
My list of channels are :
- Real Life Lore (relatable in general history)
- Historia Civils
- Vsauce2 ( he has a couple videos that are specifically the history of things)
- Military History Visualized
- History Buffs
- Epic History TV
- The Great War
- Reply History
- Crash Course (although I get that /his/ shits on this).
Where do you guys get your History fix on youtube?
