Very creepy stones if you ask me. They were erected there on the exact year of 1980. Does anybody know who put them there, or why?
Also, pic related, people seem to be aggravated by it. I wonder why?
Tell me what you think of this historical monument, /his/.

Nice job getting through page 1 of Mere Christianity
Don't worry, all of you people will always be seen as cuckolds, like your great example Joseph, King of the Cuck

Why do people say the late Roman Empire was weird?
>>1668566
Because it doesn't fit their aesthetic expectation. People identify Rome only with the late-Republic, early-Empire period.
>>1668566
[spoiler]Stefan Molyneux[/spoiler]
Most people's exposure to the Roman Empire is the late Republic and early Empire and when they find out it wasn't always that way they get a bit weirded out.
The idea of a Christian Rome also bugs some people a lot more than it should. I've seen the "Byzantine Empire wasn't really Roman" attitude even extend to "the late western Empire wasn't really Roman". (thanks, Gibbon)
Religions say hell is a place of fire and brimstone (sulfur). It just so happens that life at the bottom of the animal evolutionary cycle lives around sulfur spewing volcanoes at the bottom of the ocean miles below the surface.
The photograph above is of hell. The hell described in the Bible is a real place on earth.
It is the most hostile environment where animal life is found on earth. If you go to the bottom of the evolutionary cycle, the beginning of the cycle, you go to a place like the place described as hell. A coincidence?
Most of the popular descriptions of hell were described by writers like Milton, Blake and Dante, and many religions have adopted parts of these popular descriptions.
Sulfur, water (the lake), an unquenchable fire, a deep pit, dark, abyss, cold, worms, and the other things that hell is described as are not found all together in any other environments where life is found. The place in those pictures is the only place. These vents are also where the first life on earth was found, the actual bottom of our evolutionary cycle. The odds of it being a coincidence are impossibly low.
Until just recently, we did not know that any life could live in super heated water miles down at the bottom of the ocean. The food chain starts down there with bacteria that feed on sulfur (hydrogen sulfide) that comes out of volcanic vents in the ocean floor. Scientists recently discovered that this bacterium was the very first animal life on earth, the start of the animal evolutionary cycle.
The vents are called black smokers, because they spew black, sulfur-filled, super-heated water. A few feet from the vents, the water is freezing cold. It is totally dark, as black as ink. No light reaches that depth of water.
The Koran actually describes hell as a place with boiling water and freezing cold water. Do you know of any other place on Earth that has life and those exact conditions? There is no other place like it. It is the hell described by religions.

Many descriptions of hell mention worms. Giant blood-red tubeworms eat the bacteria that live around the volcanic vents. The bacteria actually live in the worm’s gut, in the belly of the beast, in a symbiotic relationship with the worm.
Giant Blood Red Tubeworms
The blood-red tubeworms pictured above grow up to nine feet long and can be over two hundred years old. These animals live in total darkness, miles beneath the surface of the ocean. Even the color is exactly the color of the mythical devil.
At the bottom of our evolutionary ladder is a form of bacteria that actually lives in the worm’s stomach. There are many more bacteria living in their stomachs than there are human beings on the Earth. This is a fact.
The worm is spread under thee, and the worms cover thee. Isaiah 14:11
Living in the gut of a nine-foot worm, thousands of feet down at the bottom of the pitch black, freezing cold ocean, next to scalding hot vents is where the bottom of the food chain is found.
There are trillions more souls in hell than there are human beings on Earth.
Was the first world war the worst thing to happen to Western civilisation?
Yes.
And it was 100% germany's fault.

Help me choose a research topic for my medieval history course.
I can choose from the following:
al-Andalus
Anglo-Saxon England
Barbarians and Rome
Carolingian Renaissance
Crusader states
Constantinople
Early Christianity
Guilds
Heresy
Iconoclasm in the Byzantine Empire
Ireland or Scotland
Late Medieval European Kingship (Anywhere between 12th and 16th centuries)
Medieval European Queenship
Monasticism
Norman Invasion and the British Isles
Papacy
Spread of Islam
Urbanization
Vikings
Voyages and Discovery
I honestly have no idea what to pick at this point.
>>1668422
Pick something you're interested in and which has a lot of easily accessible source material.
>>1668422
I personally find Early Christianity extremely interesting.
It's a very multifaceted and rewarding subject.
>>1668422
Spread of Islam
How Germany will be a Muslim state in 20 years.
What armour is this?
An entirely fictional one.
lamellar cuirass and laminar armguards worn over mail hauberk.
>>1668405
Lol no
It's a late roman cataphract officer. Everything worn there is authentic, it's lamellar armour with mail under and segmented arm armour, with a typical cavalry officer helmet.
Leave being wrong about everything to me

Are they for example successful Anarchism community?

Apparently they have sold out hard
They are now a tourist trap who make their living selling t shirts of subcommandante marcos and che guevara to gullible european and american college students
What time would be the best time, and where?
Only for the equivalent of a middle class person today. I'm thinking Ancient Rome would surpass all other times/countries for someone with moderate income, but I dunno.
>>1668295
>being "middle-class" in Rome
>in a society engulfed between rich and poor
>implying there is a "middle class"
Lad, there were barely any middle class people in the Roman Empire. In fact they were almost non-existent. Where do you get this meme where the dividing line was between rich, middle, and poor?
>>1668428
well i just equate our middle class with the lower upper class of roman society. someone who is born into wealth but not the upper echelon
Rome would be the most similar to our mode of living. Urban life has greatly changed in speed and convenience but I think a modern person could get along in that environment easier than they could in the feudal period for example.

Why did WW1 start? Why did some Serbs kill Franz Ferdinand?
Everyone knows how WW2 started but most people have no idea about it. Almost like our education systems don't want us to know

Except that everyone in saga agrees that what Loki did was shameful and disgusting and unmanly. That really spiteful exchange in the Lokasenna has Odin harping on how he was a woman and bore children like a woman, when they're all airing out each other's dirty laundry.
