Dragons from Indo-European cultures probably have a common origin, Proto Indo-European mythology must have had a proto-dragon. Chinese dragons might just be a coincidence (they only resemble Western ones vaguely, in the stories, they are basically gods, while western Dragons are just monsters). And "dragons" in other cultures are usually just big snakes, such as Apep in Egyptian mythology, or Turkish dragons.

Some people also list Quetzalcoatl as a dragon, even though it was just a feathered serpent that looked nothing like western or Chinese dragons. Really, it's probably about venomous snakes. They were present almost everywhere were humans lived and were a danger to them, so no wonder a lot of cultures independently came up with this idea of a giant snake-monster.

What if they specialize in Asian or Mesoamerican history?

Are there any practical reasons for taking Latin in college?

So I only began learning Latin recently and I'm confused on how to turn nouns ending in -x into ajdectives. Consider the word "nox," which means night. If I wanted to say "nightly" in Latin, how do I change "nox"?

King in latin is "rex" and kingly in latin is "regno." Is "nightly" something like nogno? Or are -ox and -ex completely different endings?

I realize the word "noctis" exists (means "of the night" or "night's", right?). That's probably the closest I'm going to get for a good translation of "nightly."

Okay?

Also, Russians.

evolution happens most prominently in extreme trying conditions. as we are in our plush world of material comforts, there is little incentive to "push" our limits to "get better" because we are already at the point of being satisfied

>>1545754
>we are trying to act in ways that go against our biology
How so?

>>1545764
a good point. we seem to have forgotten that we will always need to evolve

>Was he too white, male, and non-violent?
Yes. They modern American left is concerned with identity politics and Eugene V Debs is the wrong race, gender, and sexuality.

>>1544940
The modern American left consists of welfare capitalists and liberals, not socialists

>>1544940
>non-violent

He believed in the right to self-defense and the 2nd Amendment, he was too violent.

Rome, easily it came later, and was much bigger at its peak than Egypt

>1544912

Egypt...name one roman achievement that matches the Pyramids?

>>1544906
In terms of military,definitely rome i don't think egyptians really were that invested in military as much as they were in other science related stuff.

Well, if you are referring to the way things are depicted in the Iliad (Which is probably more than a little stylized even before we get into one man armies that dominate the field), it does seem a kind of battle taxi, used for getting to hot-spots or quick escapes, and fighting being done on foot.

However, that wasn't the sole means of chariot warfare. The Egyptians and a lot of other near-east chariot users did a kind of precursor to the horse archer game that the steppe peoples used, often the chariots would form small circles and you'd reload while you were wheeling away from the enemy, and when you were at the point in the circle closest to them, you'd shoot your arrow.

Well. Varied.

Fighting from a chariot involved having a cunt with a missile weapon firing shit at enemies.
Then when all is spent and done and the enemy is still on the field. You hop off your chariot.
Need infantry in one location fast? Get your chariots and grab an infantryman.

Basically the first IFV. Though you never usually charged enemies from a chariot, Chariots did engage people in melee when said people are fleeing.

The last ("civilized") people to use the Chariot was the Indians and the Chinese. While they were cavalryfags like the rest of the world in terms of mounted warfare by the early ADs, they kept the chariot around for the very purpose of being fast troop transport. Especially since later chariot models the kind the Chinese built could seat 4 men.

Thanks guys. So basically chariots were both troops transport and a precursor to horse archers.

>He shares half a haplotype with us. Pure blooded German king.
And so Germany went to war.

Muslims believe that Abraham, Moses, and Jesus all heard the word of god, but that Jews and Christians fucked up parts of it, and Mohammed got the final, most complete version.

>>1544687

Muslims don't consider the Bible as word of God, rather as a corruption of said word. Therefore they don't recognize the parts of the Bible which refer to Jesus as son of God.

>>1544687
Accrding to muslims the bible has been falsified, and Jesus/issa(saws ) never claimed to be anything but a prophet.

>not natural, for if it were, then it would mean it was uncreated
Nice sophistry but you should probably study a bit of theology before starting a thread like this

This should clear things up.

>>1543417
Pompeii skeletons average out at 169cm, so 5'7 seems totally plausible. Caesar was a massive playboy before his high politics days, and he went for rich bored housewives, so he couldn't have been short compared to his peers.
