I've always been fascinated by Carthage and their wars against the Romans.
Was their end the most tragic way a people ever disappeared? Or is it in some sense more memorable than other people's who just got assimilated and lost their culture like thracians and gauls, and even greeks too.
inb4 child sacrifice
yeah who cares, it's kind of cool actually
>>1719813
Apparently only Sicilians, Sardinians and North Africans sacrificed their children.
That distribution lmao
Afaik child sacrifice was an ancient tradition in many cultures. It was ancient even when Carthage was young
>>1719825
the absolute madmen
When did you realise that Hstory as an academic profession was just stamp collecting with a marketing spin and that the worship of the Romans and Greeks is a pseudo intellectual and social signalling enterprise that deserves little respect compared to the worship of the greatest country ever, the USA, not to mention the study of science and mathematics?
>>1719731
When did you realize you were clinically depressed, you miserable piece of shit?
>>1719731
>the greatest country ever, the USA
USA hasn't even been around for 300 years and we're already on the decline. Maybe Trump will usher in an imperial phase but [COLLAPSE] seems just as likely.

>But an examination of his life reveals a yearning for marriage frustrated by a train of rejections. In the year 1831, Schopenhauer fell in love with a girl named Flora Weiss. At a boat party in Germany he made his advance by offering her a bunch of grapes. Flora’s diary records this event as follows: "I didn’t want the grapes because old Schopenhauer had touched them, so I let them slide, quite gently into the water." Apparently, she was underwhelmed.

Could you guys hook me up with some info regarding the colonisation of South Africa? I'm particularly interested in the theory that Boers colonized empty land and that the Blacks migrated later on due to economic reasons as well as the whole Zulu ordeal.
>pic related, it's Boer general Koos de la Rey.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bantu_expansion
Pioneering groups had reached modern KwaZulu-Natal in South Africa by CE 300 along the coast, and the modern Limpopo Province (formerly Northern Transvaal) by CE 500.
By the time Great Zimbabwe had ceased being the capital of a large trading empire, speakers of Bantu languages were present throughout much of southern Africa. Two main groups developed, the Nguni (Xhosa, Zulu, Swazi), who occupied the eastern coastal plains, and the Sotho–Tswana who lived on the interior plateau.
>>1719527
I thought that the inner plateaus were heavily depopulated in the 18th century due to the Zulus killing everything in their path.
>>1719561
You are correct. Basically the only sizable or organised people in the area were the Zulu and the Xhosa at the time of the dutch settlement. There were also Khoi and San peoples in the Cape, but they were never a large group and were quickly wiped out anyway.
So, is this guy only popular today outside of Romania because Evola met him once and became totally gay for him? Or did he actually have some ideas worth looking into?
>>1719467
no it's because he was hot af
Sacrificing your very eternal soul for a worldy cause is something so radical not even ISIS conceived it, in many ways the Iron Guard were the most brutal fascists of all time

what do you think about the concept of karma?
>>1719366
I can't believe in karma anymore since My Name is Earl got cancelled. there can't be any justice in the world
In a well-ordered universe it would exist. But since most religions that believe in Karma think the consequences can happen in this life, the next life, or in different realities. It's basically impossible to know.
I don't believe in it
Does anyone have any good books, documentaries, etc. About Pyrrhus of Epirus or the Hellenic world in General during that era?
Also who should have reunited the Alexandrian Empire between the successor kingdoms in your opinion?

Autism is what has written world history.
So I'm watching this Dark Ages: An Age of Light documentary from the BBC that was recommended on here. And the narrator is going on about how the first images of Jesus were not the ragged, bearded, decidedly male Jesus we get in the late Medieval period but instead made to look more feminine, androgynous. This struck me as SJW bullshit and I couldn't find anything else on it online, though I will say I could believe it considering the examples he points to, but he doesn't provide nearly enough.
Is there any evidence or argument for this? He says it was to appeal to women but again strikes me as a little BS. Was Apollo, the Roman god Jesus was apparently modeled after, also considered a feminine or androgynous figure? Help me out /his/.
>>1718993
Pic related is Jesus, btw.
I thought he was modeled after Dionysus
>>1718993
Depends. In some artistic styles Jesus did look pretty feminine, which is where the legend of st Wilgefortis came from.
