this Tocharian female is a Tarim mummy and lived around 1,000 BC. She was tall, with a high nose and long flaxen blond hair, perfectly preserved in ponytails. The weave of her clothing appears similar to Celtic cloth. She was around 40 years-old when she died.

Visibility from the vehicle is terrible.
The gun has a poor rate of fire (due to the loading arrangements) and lousy arc of fire.

Access for the crew makes it a death trap in the event of a penetrating hit.The crew lined up in row from front to back,all three of which have to climb out the small loader's hatch.The crew also better hope the machinegun is not turned such that it blocks the loader's hatch .

The loader, behind the driver, is also the radio operator. He is handicapped by the gun being on the right of the vehicle and all his ammunition being on the far side of the gun. He must therefore reach over or under the gun to get a shell to load. The gun recoil protection bracket also is the reverse of standard German practice so it is in the way as the loader is on the wrong side of the gun making that along with operating the breech harder.
Then he also has to avoid the handles of the remote control machinegun sticking down in the compartment. If he has to reload the machinegun (another task he has) then he has to completely expose himself on top of the vehicle to get the 50 round drum changed out.

Notes from the Battle of Verdun. 500,000 + French casualties (more than all of WW2 combined) and 400,000 German casualties.


>An eye-witness: ...The earth moves and shakes like jelly. And the men who are still at the frontline, cannot hear anything but the drumfire, the moaning of wounded friends, the screams of hurt horses.

The artillery made the ground soft, and the mix of the decomposing bodies turned the dirt into a jelly substance. Soldiers sometimes stepped into decomposed chests, or the Earth itself started slipping, because of so much slime and shock.

>A German soldier: The latrines, wooden beams hanging over open holes, are occupied day and night – the holes are filled with slime and blood...

>A French soldier: …everyone who searches for cover in a shell hole, stumbles across slippery, decomposing bodies and has to proceed with smelly hands and smelly clothes…

>A French captain reports: ...I arrived with 175 men, I returned with 34 of whom several had half turned insane....

>An eye-witness: ...One soldier was going insane with thirst and drank from a pond covered with a greenish layer near Le Mort-Homme. A corpse was afloat in it.

>A witness tells: ...Everything we touched smelled of decomposition due to the fact that the earth surrounding us was packed with dead bodies...

>Louis Barthas also describes a flamethrower attack:...At my feet two unlucky creatures rolled the floor in misery. Their clothes and hands, their entire bodies were on fire. They were living torches. They were so unrecognisably mutilated that we could not decide on their identities. Their skin was black entirely.

>A German soldier: Some are screaming, others are pleading. One sees some who don't have legs, others without any heads, who have been left for several weeks on the ground..."

>A French solider: ...I stayed ten days next to a man who was chopped in two; there was no way to move him

No.

Yes.

maybe.

initially they did rely heavily on indentured servants largely of Irish origin. but britain had designs on becoming the biggest manufacturer of textiles and sugar and demanded increased cotton and cane sugar production, that pressure lead to the atlantic slave trade

>>1504363
You'd be surprised how many Irish live in the south. There's a reason why stuff like O'neil are commonly associated with rednecks.

>>1504390
The book 1493 says it instead it had to do with mosquitoes and malaria. Slavery was not cheaper as paid labour.

They're worse than the Muslims.

Muslims didn't start WW1 and then build a statue of the guy who did it, in the spot where he did it.

>>1511558
No because they were killing innocent people. Not all muslim people are evil goat fuckers. People killed in Bosnia and Herzegovina were Europeans like you and me, not some crazy goat herders from middle east.

>>1511558
Iirc they just wanted to unify all the serbs living outside Serbia and wanted to expel all non-serbs. They would've done the same to croats

He's an ancient Palestinian Jew, what do you think? Also the Bible says that Jesus is very ordinary looking.

Probably like one of these guys, Samaritans. Unlike Ashkenazi Jews who got enriched by Europeans or muslim Palestinians who got enriched by Arabs, Samaritans remain pretty much the same.

Also Jesus was accused of being a Samaritan by the Pharisees (John 8:48)

Like most inventions, the aeroplane had a long history of preceding scientific discoveries and research. Otto Lilienthal with his gliders comes to mind, and he's just one example.
The Wright brothers were the first to build a motorised one, capable of sustaining it's own flight, though. It is possible that other inventors developed the motorised plane independently, but the Wright brothers tale the cake for being the first.

Yes, societies were pretty equal before capitalism, everyone was equally poor.

>>1511224
Do you mean equal as in 1 person 1 vote, equal as in the same income for everybody, or equal as in everyone is a 5'10 170 lbs plumber named George?

I admire the hell out of their "eat the earth" campaign. That's the kinda tactics I go for in strategy games.

Antike hellas.

I like Islam's way of basically worldwide genocide of non-Muslims and Muslims.
