What is it about Manhattan that attracted so many great minds?

Well it was one of the earliest, biggest, safest ports in the new world with access into the interior thanks to the Hudson River

How true is the quote that a woman could walk from one end of the Mongol empire to the other end with a bag of gold coins on her head and remain unharmed?
Its just a saying m8, just meant to imply that the rule of law was a thing innthe mongol empire and that you were basically not so likely to get murdered or robbed
Not much of an exaggeration really. It just emphasized the strict rule of law kept by the Mongols within their borders. Crime certainly still happened because not even Mongols could end Crime however horrific their punishments.

Top tier nomads.
was he self aware or did he genuinely think he was an artiste
>calls his workshop 'the factory'
>not self-aware
He never considered himself an "artist" in the normal way because he stopped believing in art in the commodity era of the 50s. He broke away from Abstract Expressionism and "art for art's sake" and just wanted to put a mirror to society.
He was also incredibly autistic and watching any archival footage of him is cringy.
He was pretty important to the world of art.
Can someone explain me the difference and the similarities between Mayans and Aztecs?
Mayans were the ones with the doomsday calendar meme.
Aztecs were the ones with the human sacrifice and unpronounceable names.
They are both redskins and extinct.
>>1704602
they both had human sacrifice
>>1704592
bunch of red featherniggers who never prdouced anything of note. the mayans didn't have writing so had to count using lengths of rope
there were some indians living in louisiana who managed to make reasonably complex societies, and it seems trade networks extended al the way to the pacific. but they stll had a penchant for human sacrifice.
fuck all of them
What was the first deity?
the first deity is as old as mankind, and naturally no historical records of its being exist

Yes, when they were no longer useful idiots they became a liability

Is Muhammad's existence more probable than Jesus' existence?
I'm researching on archeological evidences of both sides and there seems to be more records of Muhammad's existence from various written accounts with sources from different scriptures.
What do you guys think?
>>1704395
Did muslims want to try harder to prove his existence? All I'm aware of proving the historic existence of Jesus is third party sources like Tacitus writing that he existed and was crucified by Pilate.
Does one third party source have the same weight as first party sources?
>>1704395
What written sources do we have for Muhammad? Don't we have a treaty that he signed in Medina with the Jewish and Christian communities?
Of the writings from Christ's time, probably 99.999% of them perished, since they didn't use parchment. For writings to survived, they had to be continuously copied every few years right up until the advent of parchment,then they had to be transferred to it. Islam started hundreds of years after the introduction of parchment as the main method of recording important things--prior to that, if you want a writing to be preserved without perpetual copying, you'd have to use stone or something.
Unless the writings were in Egypt, which preserves ancient writings remarkably well.

(The Noble Qur'an, 2:97) “To thee (Muhammad) We sent the scripture(Qur'an) in truth confirming the scripture that came before it, and guarding it in safety. Say: Whoever is the enemy of Jibreel -- for surely he revealed it to your heart by Allah's command, verifying that which IS before it and guidance and good news for the believers.”
(The Noble Qur'an, 5:82) “Nearest among them in love to the believers will thou find those who say "We are Christians" because amongst these are men devoted to learning.”
(The Noble Qur'an, 42:15) “I believe in the Book (of the People of the Book) which God has sent down...”
(The Noble Qur'an, 5:46) “And in their footsteps we sent Jesus the son of Mary confirming the Law that had come before him. We sent him the Gospel: therein was guidance and light, and confirmation of the Law.”
(The Noble Qur'an, 5:47) “Let the People of the Gospel judge by what God has revealed therein”
(The Noble Qur'an, 5:48) “To thee (Muhammad) We sent the scripture (Qur'an) in truth confirming the scripture that came before it, and guarding it in safety.”
(The Noble Qur'an, 10:94) “If thou (Muhammad) are in doubt as to what We have revealed, then ask the People of the Book.”
So was Muhammad a Christian? Muhammad's first wife, Khadijah was a Catholic nun.

He was an Abrahamic Arab, which was a movement sort of like the earlier Judaic Gentiles.

Muslims are Christians who speak Arabic instead of Aramaic.
No. I mean, unless you would count Mormons as Christians. Obviously huge difference between Mormonism and Islam, but I mean to point out that saying Jesus is a prophet and the Messiah doesn't really mean anything of itself, there is a lot more to Christianity than that.
>>1704607
There are plenty of Arab Christians
Was Roman cavalry as useless as commonly believed?
>>1704204
no stirrup cavalry = meme
so yes
>>1704282
I was meaning in comparison to other cavalry during that era
>>1704204
Given the way that Romans tended to wipe out their opponents after a single victory or two, crushing most resistance after a decisive battle, I would guess that they had to at the very least have pursuit capable cavalry. Manipular legions and Marian legions might be tough as balls, but heavy infantry doesn't usually wipe out entire opposing armies the way the Romans seemed to.
>history has a pattern
OF COURSE IT DOES, EVERYTHING DOES BECAUSE THAT'S HOW WE THINK. INKBLOTS ALSO HAVE A "PATTERN"
Just stop teaching the "pattern" as something innate and factual instead of superimposed
Also, drop talking about speculating about what caused what in history, there is no way you can test such theories.
Also, no, Nietzsche is not a source when talking about historical reasons for religion or morality or law or any of that, he's just telling a story to express his philosophy.
OK I'll stop.

>Henry John "Harry" Patch (17 June 1898 – 25 July 2009), dubbed in his later years "the Last Fighting Tommy", was a British supercentenarian, briefly the oldest man in Europe and the last surviving combat soldier of the First World War from any country. He is known to have fought in the trenches of the Western Front.[1] Patch was the longest surviving combat soldier of World War I, but he was the fifth longest surviving veteran of any sort from World War I, behind British veterans Claude Choules and Florence Green, Frank Buckles of the United States and John Babcock of Canada.[2] At the time of his death, aged 111 years, 1 month, 1 week and 1 day, Patch was the third-oldest man in the world and the oldest man in Europe.
>WWI ends on the 11th hour of the 11th day on the 11th month
