Looks like desaturated and sepia looking filters too. Why do historical films always have this washed out filter or sepia tone. Same with any film in Mexico shits always sepia tone and dusty looking.

How native peoples were able to live in the perfect harmony with nature using only a deep wisdom of primitive man, but more technologically advanced nations created only ethically inferior, greedy and deeply corrupted societies that ruining our planet?
>> Harmony
Not really. The h/g groups had complex understandings of "nature", but they weren't ecophilosophers or anything like that.

>Perfect harmony with nature
Top zozzle. Natives on the East Coast were considered the backwater in terms of all of the natives in the Americas. Natives had trade and war. A good example of this is The Mississippian Native culture. To imply the concept of the noble savage is not only undermining the intelligence of the natives, but also overselling their kindness. Their connection with nature derives from a religion that dealt with shamanistic customs.
why did they get replaced by gr*eks?
...what?
How can Greeks take over Greeks?

Why were Incas able to control more land than the Mexicas?
They sacrificed more children
They had really, really good roads (the Inca were master stonemasons), sturdy pack animals to transport stuff for miles around, a competent bureaucracy that could tabulate crop yields and population data through magic fucking knots, messengers that could relay a message from Quito to Cuzco in a few days, and a network of local storehouses-cum-garrisons to accumulate food, collect tribute, house soldiers, and withstand disasters. They uprooted rebellious people groups under them and deported them to far flung corners of their empire (where they would eventually grow to depend on the Inca). They extracted tribute in the form of food, textiles, or conscripted labor (to build their roads and storehouses) from their subjects. They also forced vassals to send their children and heirs to the capital at Cuzco to be educated in Inca ways (and also act as hostages). They probably would have put up a greater fight against the Spanish if they didn't get decimated by diseases, literally hand over their government and emperor to the Spanish, and didn't have a bloody civil war just when Cortes plopped on their shores.
Pic related. Once a puppet of the Spaniards, Manco Inca led an army during the civil war in Spanish Peru that consisted of cavalry, arquebusiers, and disgruntled conquistadors.

Ah shit. Pizarro not Cortes. Whoops. That's a whole different country.

Why the fuck do people drink alcohol?
It doesn't quench thirst, makes you stupid and tastes like shit.
Look like it's some ritual item that must be consumed to "enjoy yourself". Much like spilling blood of virgins in Aztecs. It sucks, but that's the ritual.
>>1825613
it's either that or experience life sober
The euphoria and boost in self-confidence helps.

Can anyone explain what the fuck the Yugoslav Wars were about?
>>1820661
And then the serbs chimped out.
>>1820661
dekebabification.
Communism [colapse]d. Yugoslavia was no longer a special snowflake between the two blocks. People wanted to have their own countries (again). The Serbs were like "Noo, we want Great Ser-- uh, we mean Yugoslavia, brothers" and started genociding stuff.
Are they literally the descendants of Huns? And if not, please explain how they got the name Hun-garian.

I'm currently on vacation in Riga with my gf, she being Russian while I'm not. Either way today we went to the museum of national history here in Riga, and we came to the part about "soviet occupation". She claimed it was all just propaganda, that they weren't occupied and that many Latvians wanted to be part of the ussr etc. She also said that the 15000 that were deported to the gulags was "nothing, only 15000. In Russia it was many more and we didn't hate the ussr". She says this while being born in 1996 btw. And the guy we're renting from on Airbnb, who's from a city nearby, also said that they weren't actually occupied. So my question being; what's the truth? My gut tells me it's just their Russian propaganda machine telling them that they dindu nuffin but I'm interested in what you guys have to say
russians are never free of blame

>every eastern european nation that was a satellite of or a part of the UDSSR absolutely hates them
>standard of living is lightyears better than under le glorious SU
>baltic states,poland etc. scared shitless of russia requesting more Nato presence
>russians have their own culture,tvs radi etc. pretty seperated
>tons of baltic people joined the SS without being Nazis because they hated the soviets
Yeah its typical russian apologist bullshit.
a lot of Bolsheviks were from the Baltics.
This is absolute blasphemy.
What is the point of this thread?

some heretic claimed that iconic white marble sculptures of classical western antiquity were painted like pic related -- death is too good for him tbqh
Jesus changed the whole world that no man can ever do(except if someone finds a way to travel through time). You wouldn't have been born if Jesus wasn't crucified or if the bible wasn't written. The creation of the bible lead to peace, wars, births, deaths, theories (even the ones that disprove his existance could have helped humanity or endanger us), lives being saved and inventions (like the Gutenberg printer). So basically Jesus H. Christ, The Son of God, or God (There are other people who believe Jesus and God was the same being ) changed the world in a gargantuan, titanic, and a Godly ways. Lives are being changed because of Catholicism and Christianity in a good and bad way. I'm an atheist fyi.

Time autism aside, focusing on Jesus as what changed the world is just like saying the peasant that looked at jesus at one point in time changed the world. It's all a butterfly effect down the timeline until we get the present. Sure, christianity did a lot, the church was very influential. So was the reformation (for better or for worse), but if not Jesus, it would have been someone/something else. It'd be a different present, may have arrived sooner, later, who knows, but progress was inevitable.
>>1830917
Wait wait wait let me get this right. You're saying that events in the past... cause events in the future? A sort of, cause and effect, if you will. Hold on, I need to sit down.
>>1830917
Wtf I love Jesus now!
Why would anyone give a shit about his ''heritage''? You know who your ancestors were? No ones. Bunch of shit eating peasants and factory workers world didn't even acknowledge. Nobles and rich people were always the ones who carried the world on their backs while filthy commoners deluded themselves into thinking they made a difference because they created toilet paper their president wipes his ass with.
wow epic tell me more
