Think of it less as the Romans just copying the Greeks, and more as the Romans emerging within a Greek-dominated cultural world encompassing the whole non-Punic Mediterranean. They were just one of many cultures constituting a wider classical civilization, centered on the Greeks but also including the likes of the Etruscans, Latins, Nabataeans, Armenians, etc. The Romans weren't barbarians who became civilized by adopting Greek culture; rather they had Greek-derived culture from the very beginning, which they inherited from the Greek, Latin and Etruscan civilizations that had been flourishing in Italy centuries before Rome's rise. They were distinct from the Greeks in the same way that different Western nations or Indian regions were distinct from each other, and they innovated and created their own unique culture, but they always shared in the same wider civilization as the Greeks.

The same is true of most civilizations in the world; they're always unique in their own ways, but more often than not they also form part of a wider cultural sphere which usually originated elsewhere.

It's not a meme, Romans before conquering Greece were basically farmer warriors.

The Roman elite was Hellenized because no one really before the Greeks had produced such vast amounts of literature, scientific research and philosophy.

Roman religion was however primarily Etruscan however, and it didn't really posses the whole "anthropomorphizing" the Greek gods had.

> Religious explanations welcome.
With universal language you can deduce the true name of a god and control the world with magical power bestowed by it. Some say that Jews know the world and hide it into the secret Hebrew letter and use their power to split languages even more.

Is this even a serious question?

Is he the author of "Why Nations Fail" ?

Wrong. There is no such thing as Indo-Europeans. Europeans are Albino Indians that migrated out of India and into Europe.

I think he wasn't such a great guy. I think communism was a real threat in South America at the time, but I think there are better examples of rulers fighting communist threats, such as Alberto Fujimori. Violence is an accectable tool for fighting communism but he went a bit far, veering into despotism territory.

>Violence is an accectable tool for fighting capitalism

ftfy

>>1543607
>such as Alberto Fujimori
Yeah, because fighting communism after the death of the Soviet Union is exactly the same as fighting it at the height of the Cold War.

>Abd ar-Rahman was born in Córdoba, the grandson of Abdullah, seventh independent Umayyad emir of Al-Andalus. His parents were Abdullah's son Muhammad and Muzna (or Muzayna), a Christian concubine.[16] His paternal grandmother was also a Christian, the royal infanta Onneca Fortúnez, daughter of the captive king Fortún Garcés of Pamplona.

Do what Shoko Asahara did.

Join some Buddhist monastery, learn some of the basics of Buddhism, combine that with new age spiritual philosophy, Daosim/Chrisitanity/Islam principles and some of your own ideas, then climb Mount Everest and meet the Dalai Lama.

After that register for a spiritual yoga class and start recruiting students. Then preach your philosophy to them while teaching yoga. Voila. You've started a cult.

>Is Wahabism something new or is it traditional Islam?
It's been around for a while, but was never a significant/defining force in Islam until the existence of Saudi Arabia.

>If not what did Islam look like more than 500 years ago?
In short? Much more socially liberal.
It was actually muslim chemists that first developed alcohol distillation to such a level that high-proof drinks could be produced. Rum for example. In fact, even the word alcohol is Arabic in origin. Late 8th/early 9th century poet Abu Nuwas talks in great detail about drunkeness (in a good way).
Backing this up, all manner of drinking carafes and the like have been found with passages from the Qu'ran on them.

It was not Wahhabist savagery that made the Golden Age possible

It's a reformation not unlike the Puritan movement

Somewhere between modern humans and more primitive apes if you can prove that they doesn't have it, which they could.

Whilst discussing the development of the autobahns, R.J. Evans in 'The Third Reich in Power 1933-1939' refers to R.Overy 'Cars Roads and Economic Recovery in Germany, 1932-1938', noting that;
"few people had the means to enjoy them before 1939, since Germany was one of the least motorized societies in Europe. In 1935 only 1.6 per cent of the population in Germany owned motor vehicles, compared to 4.9 per cent in France, 4.5 per cent in Britain and 4.2 per cent in Denmark. Even Ireland had a higher proportion of vehicle owners, at 1.8 per cent. All of these figures were dwarfed by vehicle ownership in the USA, which stood at 20.5 per cent, or one in five of the population."

Interesting. I didn't realize just how much more important the car was to Americans than Europeans. But in America 20.5 percent of everyone owning a car surely means over 90% of families had at least one car between everyone who lived together

>I didn't realize just how much more important the car was to Americans than Europeans
It wasn't.

Americans were and are simply much, much richer than Europeans
