So Catholics did the metaphorical fall occur at the beginning of hominids, homo, or specifically homo sapiens? Or should we go back to the first time that an organism reproduced sexually instead of asexually?

The seven provinces of Euskal Herria, three of the historic regions part of French department of the Pyrénées-Atlantiques while four are part of Spain, divided in two Autonomous Comunities, the Navarre that comprises the homonimous province and the Basque Country formed by the remaining three.
The Low Navarre has been part of Navarre as the name suggests, so sometimes six provinces are represented instead of seven.
The Spanish part enjoys a remarkable autonomy, while the French one does not, as France is a very centralized country.
The unity of the seven provinces comes from their Basque heritage, the language still brinh spoken in all of them even if its a endangered language.
The Spanish side is pretty industrial and rich while the French one is largely rural and tourism focused.
What caused the central Asians to start expanding rapidly in the 13th century?

Why would you not just say Mongols?
Daily reminder that population pressure is just a buzzword for when Deity increases the spawn counter somewhere in Eurasia.

Of course the myths surrounding them aren't to be taken as fact, but is there any likelihood that these figures existed maybe in a similar sense of how Jesus was regarded to have existed? That perhaps the mythology surrounding them is loosely based on actual figures in history?
Or were all of these just characters created by an imaginative writer?
Are there any heroes in Greek mythology that have evidence for their actual existence?

People will probably be asking similar questions about Darth Vader in a few thousand years.
>>1711445
They thought Troy didn't exist either, but then they found it.
Now, something tell's me they won't find too many fragments of the Death Stars. Or maybe it's just wishful thinking on my part.
>>1711445
Darth Vader is a science fictional character that is based in another Galaxy. Also given the technology we have, unless the world ends up becoming anarcho-primitive, this will never happen

In the year 5000 ad archaeologists are astonished to have found artifacts from as far back as the early 2000's.
Assuming that they are just as advanced as we are, and that they know little to nothing about our time period, what would they be able to gather about how our society works?

Did they sing sea shanties /his/?
Bump for interest
Also can anyone recommend good read on ancient seamanship

It's fiction but Over the Wine Dark Sea is good
Nah, we just row, man
Hiro allowed one meta thread per board
Discuss anything related to the state of moderation on this board
I'll start off with suggesting that /his/ should become History and Law, while the other humanities are contained in /hum/ - Humanities
without humanities this board would be very dry and homogenous. history and philosophy are subject that make for slow boards when separated, but a healthy board when combined. let it be, if a thread makes you angry for existing, either filter it or you could also try growing up.
the moderation is fine on this board, and I wouldn't say that about every board, on some boards it's pretty abused. I have literally never had a problem with a moderation decision here.
why are you mad enough to make a thread? did a mod delete your shitpost?
>>1710894
we should have a limited amount of holocaust/ww2 threads, ban "you wake up in the year 1XXX" threads and make a /rel/ board where religion and morality crap can be dumped.
>>1710900
history is pretty moderately popular subject on its own. History and law are the same since they require the analysis of evidence to reach a conclusion that either teach people about something or support an argument.
i'd prefer a slow history board over a board thats constantly getting polluted by philosophy and religious bait threads.
>why are you mad enough to make a thread? did a mod delete your shitpost?
did you just skim over the OP in half a second then proceed to make a reply with a smug anime pic? i know its really hard for you to keep your mouth closed, breathe through your nose and comprehend a simple post, but at least try
I am more intelligent than Aristotle because I got to read everything that came after him.
>>1710655
(this is what STEMfags actually believe)
>>1710655
To establish Aristotele's intelligence we would have to make him take an IQ test, sadly this isn't possible so we can't really make comparisons with hin.
Intelligence is a capacity to understand ideas, you are referring to "learnedness" or being well read.
What made England and France work together after centuries and centuries of non-ending wars between these two extremely powerful countries? What made the wars between them cease and why did they suddenly decided to become allies
>>1710613
what facebook page did you get his meme from?
The wars between them were schemes by the nobility to claim some land and title to satisfy their egos.
After centuries of wasted treasure, bloodshed, and ruin, the common men of both countries hated their own nobility more than their cousins across the pond.
>>1710613
The rise of a common enemy, first Russia, and then Germany.
Countries don't really have friends or enemies, only interests.
last thread got pruned at 29 replies
Basically place any historical people or nations in the graph and share it here for either a few laughs, some remarks and maybe even a few flamewars (though i do doubt that would happen in /his/, RIGHT?!)
previous thread: >>1703259
>>1710565
protip: if your thread is pruned with not many replies. don't make the exact same thread again.
>>1710598
because half the catalog is filled with trolls
i just want to see how this graph applies to historical stuff
>>1710565
Take note of what happens to people who "play by the rules"

Pic related is the Canadian red ensign, it was my countries flag before prime minister Pearson changed it in 1965. The lions and fleur de lis on the insignia represent the shared anglo-french culture.
>>1710484
What's the story behind this flag? What do the colours mean, and why would Koreans put a Daoist symbol on their flag?

Where the swastika come from?
>>1710467
It's a sign most commonly used by Indo-European populations and cultures such as the Andronovo, Yamna and Aryan cultures.
Thus, the sign ended up being used from Scandinavia all the way to the Hindus in India.
German culture descends from the Yamna culture and can thus claim "Aryan" ancestry which is why the NSDAP used the sign as it's the most known sign of the Indo-Europeans, who where considered by the Nazis as the most superior ethnocultural/linguistic group.

The idea that the sun crosses the sky using legs
It's also the symbol of Hermes/Mercury, the messenger God.
