What exactly was in the library of alexandria?

I know the actual texts burned, but is there a catalog or something floating around out there?

It was said to have housed 700,000 rolls together with all the books of the Gnostic Basilides, Porphyry’s 36 volumes, papyrus rolls of 27 schools of the Mysteries, and 270,000 ancient documents gathered by Ptolemy Philadelphus.

Is it true that the majority of the library was aristocratic dissertations on the Illiad?

You could say that about literally any fucking country.

Also, the long term effects of literally everything you said has contributed overwhelmingly positive for humanity and in that China as a whole.

Without the warring states, there would be no Han dynasty, and thus no multilevel bureaucracy until the Byzantine Empire

Without the Three Kingdoms, there would be no Three Gorges Dam because there would be no delineation of three general commercial areas

Without Mongols, there wouldn't have been an elongated Silk Road nor a thorough subversion of Islam, which would've perpetuated the mess of the Abbasid Caliphate and would not have kickstarted European colonialism through the importation of compasses and printing press and would thus probably see the industrial revolution delayed if not abolished entirely within England, which in turn would mean that modern China wouldn't have so much modern medicine and agricultural methods to sustain a large and relatively well-off population

With the Qing, you could call the Chinese phenomena of imperial bureaucracy as 'cucked' but its' functional, literally half the Chinese dynasties were ruled by minorities, mostly aggressive, Nomad type ones who would assume Han customs towards the point they're for all intents and purposes reskinned Han officials, the same with the Qing except the ugly ass braids. Without them and without the Opium wars there would've been no breathing space for modernisation or reform, unlike Japan, a country the size of China and with the rooted legalist and Confucianist forces of China could not have modernised peacefully

Just don't make the same mistakes we did -- stay on the straight and narrow as a people. Remember that genetics is king and that asthetics matter, and don't be enticed by utilitarian materialism or fall into the nihilist trap. Good luck.

Were the Irish(and Italians) really discriminated against in the old USA or is just a "We wuz discriminated" meme?

Irish and Italians were never really discriminated nor lynched in mass.

Only a couple of Italians were lynched because they killed a cop, so it was justified.
>>
Irish and Italians are not white

They were, but not to the extent that blacks were (not even close) and it ended way too distantly for anybody to even claim any sort of compensation from it.

Also indentured servants not as bad as slaves.

Why was Islam obsessed with military campaigns westwards while just sending meme missionaries to the East?

inb Battle of Talas. It was a frontier war and the T'ang was the aggressor party. There is no Muslim military incursion into China I can name of while shitloads have happened into the west.

Because the East doesn't tolerate them like the West does.

East was pretty tough for military expeditions for the Mooseleems. The formidable T'ang Dynasty aside, you had Steppenigs to worry about. Byzantweaks and Iberian Visigoths can't really compare to the two.

Also the East is the Moneymaker. You do not attack the people who are making you rich.

Also amongst the most loyal sodliers any Chinese dynasty ever had were soldiers from the Hui Minority. Who were Muslim.

What can /his/ tell me about the first and second Congo Wars? What factions were involved, what were they fighting for, what were geopolitical reasons for war breaking out?

Sorry if this is against the 25 year rule but this is pretty much the only place I can post this besides /b/, as I doubt this thread would do very well on /pol/.

Firstly I recommend buying the book Dancing in the Glory of Monsters for an in depth assessment.

The Rwandan Genocide between the Hutus v Tutsi and Tutsi sympathisers ended with the Tutsis victories and Paul Kagame's government taking over the country. The genocidaires fled to just over the border in Mobutu's Congo. This freaked Kagame out who threatened Mobutu with war if he did not stop harbouring the genocidaires.

The old dictator refused and so an insurrection was created by Rwanda in conjunction with a proper and successful invasion.
>>
Fucking read a book or something jesus christ.
>>
>>1862328

It was more or less the Rwanda-supported militias versus the locals. The US started giving Rwanda lots of guns in the 90s, blocked UN investigations into the Rwandan genocide, and funded the war to spill over into the Congo. The second congo war was more of a true civil war where external powers were less involved.

Why is there a memorial on every street corner for the Holocaust, where it's estimated between 5 and 6 million died, but no memorial for the estimated 20 million (or more) Russians that died?

Also, why do most memorials ignore other groups who were killed, such as Poles? Honestly, wasn't even allowed to take photographs or notes in one memorial I visited.
