How often can you come across ancient stones or ruins while traveling through Europe? If you're taking a scenic drive through the countryside are you likely to see a few, or are they sparse enough that one would have to go out a long ways to find one? How often do Europeans see these kinds of things in their surrounding area?
Any Irish or Scandinavian fags wanna give their accounts? Pictures hopefully if you're the adventurous type?
Good thread for acquiring first hand historical knowledge, will bump

What do you mean by ancient stones?
Only runes or also other megalithic structures?
I'm a burger but I've been to Ireland and there were a number of dilapidated castles or ruins with no signage or anything signifying what it was. Especially in the southeastern areas.
You are given the ability to take 3 ultra high resolution color photos of 3 different places and times. They can be at any point or event in history.
What do you take photos of?

1. When my mom was being fucked by the bull
2. When my mom was being fucked by my dad
3. When I was shat out of her vagina
>>1706126
1. Daily life of indo-europeans before their expansion

wat
>>1702620
still dont know what he means by this. Rome had 7 legendary kings. We dont know the real story. it doesnt mean it was always a republic.
what the fuck is gnosticism
im really confused on this can someone explain it to me
WTF is this
Christian heresy (it wasn't all Christian but that's what people mean when they say gnosticism) that taught dualism between the spiritual and material world and between good and evil
the material world was usually of the evil or at least imperfect and was under a lesser god than the one true god aka the devil
also they commonly taught god as distant and impersonal unlike proper christianity
there's more to it but that's the short description
dualism and conflict between material and spiritual is the essence
>>1708171
is normal christianity also dualist?
What do you guys think about monarchism?
I'm unironically a monarchist desu
>>1698989
It is a central part to the stability of a government, country and empire. However a king without a parliament is asking for a revolution.
Who were the most warlike/hostile native North Americans?
The Blackfeet were kind of assholes.
>>1706931
Just fuck my shit up pham
The Apache took until the 1880s to pacify.
And the Mexicans had been fighting them for centuries at that point.
>mfw mccarthy was right all along and people unceasingly shit on him
he wasn't right though.
communists/far left have utterly failed at infiltrating American governmental institutions.
The only place they have succeeded is at universities and more broadly in the culture (news/media/arts). Through these cultural and academic positions they have pushed forward some political changes, but almost all in the social realm.
>>1706034
I wish McCarthy was right
>>1706034
Do you have a source on the whole "McArthy was actually right" thing?
I've been looking ever since I heard it but it seems to just be a meme.
Athiests, in which way do you feel that modern scientific thought and Darwinism contradict and/or nullify the presence of a divine being in your mind? Be specific.
>>1702300
XTIANS BTFO JEW ON A STICK LMAO LMAO LMAO SRY GODKEKS 2 ENLIGHTENED 2 HEAR U LMAO
Atheist here. I don't. It may contradict specific gods. I think Darwin makes the case in The Greatest Show On Earth that in contradicts the Abrahamic god, but I don't remember the details. I'm not trying to tell you to go read the book or anything like thay, but I think Darwin is making that argument. If
A person views religious creation myths or flood myths as historical events, that's contradicted.
>>1702300
desu I dont care and talk about religion at all.
I fucking hate you damnass American atheists, you gotta act superiour to others because you think not believing in bullshit
makes you better. It fucking sickens me.
I grew up in completely irreligious country and I've never in my life talked about religion, so I dont need to refute it or anything.
I just fucking dont think about it.
Same as you guys who didnt fucking read Harry Potter books dont care about Harry Potter.
Please stop connecting atheists with "refuting religion", I dont give a flying fuck about that shit dude.
And atheists that have need to talk about it are just fucking cunts.
So how exactly Slavs managed to overrun 1/3 of Europe?
>>1706246
There's a lot of them. They are the Asian European hybrids.
They're Zergs. They're also subhumanish.
>>1706246
>overrun
Are you implying there were other people to be overrun?
Was the south legally allowed to secede? Was the north the real bad guys here?
>>1702038
What is this anime looking drawn nonsense? Couldn't find a single Civil War photo from the thousands taken on the ground? Why do you have two anime girls as each side saved on your computer anyway?
>>1702041
It's 4chan. Why don't you have pics like this saved?
>>1702038
>Was the south legally allowed to secede?
No
>Was the north the real bad guys here?
No
Who was worse /his/
Nazi Germany or the Soviet Union
The Soviet Union was worse. People had to work with the same wages, give up their property, and weren't allowed foreign imports. At least in the Nazi party, people were given bread, etc. and Hitler helped boost the economy again. Economy was down in Soviet Union because factories lied about making a certain amount of products and selling them.
>>1695158
The Soviet Union was worse.
The Nazis only oppressed a small percentage of the population.
>>1695158
The Soviet Union purely because it lasted longer.
>Becoming interested in Turkic people and Cacuases history
>Get interested in Azerbaijan
What can /his/ tell me about Azerbaijans history from all eras, significant moments and significant people from there or who were ethnically Azeri.
>>1692674
I know they have cool folk music and try to claim every famous Central Asian as Azeri.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muslim_Magomayev_(musician)
Mizra Akhundov was Azeri ethnically, he was a great writer and strong advocate of secularism and atheism. He was very critical of Iran and Azerbaijan, Islam and eastern life.
You wake up in your current location in the year 1016.
What do you do?
>>1704925
i fall and die.
die horribly in the vacuum of space
kill all the population with my future diseases
Why did the Greco-Romans give up their mythology in favor of the Christian one? It was so much richer, and holy fuck is Christian mythology lame in comparison.
Because Greco-Roman mythology is shit for Greco-Roman theology and philosophy.
why would they want to burn in hell?
>>1704511
Fun fact: by the time Romans converted to Christianity, Greco-Roman Jupiter/Zeus shit has already declined.
Look at the popular religions in Rome.
>Sol-Invictus.
>Ancestor Worship.
>Mithraism.
>Isis cult.
You have two eastern cults even.
I've always been curious, if we fade away when we die into nothingness, what's the point of living life in a purposeful way, if there is no free will?
I've tried to buy it, but I can't align myself with the "you will have an impact on others/you will leave a legacy" bullshit, because even then those people die, so it's like I die a "second time". I just can't see how "we" end.
How do atheists cope with such a nihilistic view?
Atheist here, I don't really understand the question. You live to make yourself and others happy. That in it self should be enough, no?
>>1702908
I don't I just live as well as I can while I still can. There's not much else you can do really except hope someone figures out immortality before you die.
>>1702908
Yes because surely God wants humans to have free will you stupid christian fucktard.
