Why does nobody ever bring up this chubby fuck in the "ancient Egyptians were black/white" arguments?
>>1723234
For what purpose?
WE WUZ TUBBY VULCANS!
Anybody who engages in those kinds of arguments doesn't give a shit about facts in the first place. If they did, they wouldn't be arguing about it just like everyone else who has the facts.
What was life like for French citizens under Nazi occupation?
>>1723197
The same as right now in US occupied Germany, except there was some resistance (a thing you can't except from Germans)
>>1723217
>there was some resistance
kek
Somewhat related question: why did the Germans decide to occupy half of France but not the whole thing?
Why go through all the shit? Why defy the brutal empire?
What was his endgame?
>>1723179
to become the prophet of christianity
He sacrificed himself for humanity, so that we could still reach salvation even after sin, and also so that he could go to the Kingdom of Heaven
That's how the legend goes anyway, the real Jesus was probably just a really chill carpenter dude with a "love everyone" philosophy, if he did actually exist anyway.
Jesus was the coolest guy in history. And I mean the character with the conception we have nowadays, not necessarily the historic Jesus.
He loved everyone, shared his stuff, thaught good values, was great with kids, never hurt anybody, had cool hair and beard, was smart...
And most of all, he could have just fucked everyone's shit up just to get away, but he didn't want to. Top lad, really.
/his/ what's the name of the German architect who made this design originally?

>"lets decorate the roads with a swastika every 30 feet. no way anyone will get sick of seeing them constantly. yep. certainly the most logical and aesthetically pleasing thing to do."
Noone, because this picture is fictional. If you're talking about the Germania project, it's Albert Speer.
Albert Speer was the lead man behind the design, but was reassigned to minister of armaments for the war effort, and everything related to redesigning Berlin was put on the backburner.
Communism. I want to know how it spread into the world and affected it. Books and documentary names will be greatly appreciated.
Any numbers of tl;dr-s are also welcome.

You don't really have to. Capitalism will kill itself with automation.

>Socialist saturdays
I actually don't know what that is.
Were the ancient Israelites originally polytheists until monotheism was enforced significantly later in their history?
Where did the Israelites even come from prior to their living amongst the Canaanites?

>Where did the Israelites even come from prior to their living amongst the Canaanites?

It's even more hilarious when you find out that they are currently at "war" with the Kemetic movement for "enslaving their ancestors".

How did his contemporaries pronounced Cicero?
Secondary question: How did Romans called each other? By first name? Second name? Tell me about those things.

Chnaged a lot depending on context. For example, one senator to another or between husband and wife (in public anyways) they were supposed to use praenomen+nomen. In an informal context they just used the cognomen or praenomen+cognomen.

How did the first Pharaohs establish their Godlike status among men?
>>1723011
By naturally being charming, strong, confident, charismatic leaders?
It basically boiled down to everyone else being a bunch of dumb poor manlets. If you were a dumbfuck farmer and some dude adorned in gold a full head taller than you who came from fair away told you he was a god you'd believe him.

They wore silly hats and mans instinct towards obeying such figures kicked in.
What country/Empire were/are obsessed with?

Has any assassination ever been as bold as Caesar's?

The attempted assassination of Qin Shi Huang by Yan kingdom assassin, Jing Ke.
>Convince kingdom of Zhao to surrender and give bits of his land to the Qin. This would lure the King of Qin into stationing in lands hostile to him, far from his main camps.
>Convince a Qin rebel general marked for treason to die for your cause. As offering the head of the general has a reward given by the king of Qin personally. Cunt hates the King of Qin so bad, he's actually ok to die if it means the Qin King dies.
>Spread rumors about traitors within the Qin court so that the Qin emperor would be so scared to even put armed guards inside his palace.
>Take only yourself plus an ex-con as your assistant.
>Its only you, your assistant, some guy selling medicine, and the King of Qin now.
>Take the shot. Stab the tyrant.
And what foiled this intricate plot? Your ex-con assistant pussies out and trembles in fear and the king notices, you take your first stab, which the king half-anticipates, which only injures the king and a wild goose chase around the palace ensues as you try to stab the king while the king is trying to get his longsword out of the damn voluminous robes he's wearing, ending when the unnoticed medicine guy thwacks you with his bag of drugs allowing the King of Qin time to get out his longsword and kill you.
Why did the earliest alphabets (e.g. Phoenician) only use consonants?
You'd think that if you have the bright idea of writing sounds down the simplest approach would be to write them all down instead of a subset, yet it seems no one did that until hundreds of years later.
>>1722625
People are lazy
>>1722625
Vowels are unnecessary. >90% of the time it is obvious from the context which word is indicated.
>>1722625
Semitic languages such as Phoenician and the Egyptian language they copied their alphabet from don't have fixed vowels in words, the vowel you use depends on the case. Semitic dictionaries list the "roots" of the words, without vowels.
Whenever people make excuses about colonization they bring up how European settlers brought civilization to the "barbarians", but what did they bring, really?
For the most part they usually bring up modern things like penicillin which are modern inventions which the europe and at the time wouldent even have access to, or things like democracy which some old tribes already had.
So what DID they bring that could be considered "civilizing"?
From the top of my head:
>Roads and rideable animals (in the new world)
>Literacy (in illiterate places)
>connections to other places

What did the Romans ever do for us?
>>1722571
A lot of things which we mostly forgot about or just ditched during the medieval era
>>1722579
>Christian dark ages meme
But seriously, the west dragged their colonies kicking and screaming into something resembling modernity. While colonialism is bad it also had some benefits.
Are there any notable texts that talk about being repulsed by sex?
>>1722476
literally any book trying to explain how to stop being hedonist. the trick is to being very attentive to the whore that you like, until you see that her body is disgusting. then do the same with her mind, her opinion, then you expand this over a lifespan by watching what other retarded couples have achieved after they walked the path you want to walk with the whore
>>1722476
>>1722487
What if, on the contrary, nothing (almost) disgust me anymore?
Girls pissing excites me, girls shitting excites me, hairy girls excites me, thinking of my mom/sister naked excites me, zoophilia (with female animal) excites me....
The only thing that still somewhat disgust me is real life homosex (some yaoi excites me though)
