Hobbits were based on modern English people, or near-modern, from the 18th-19th century.

they actually don't. in all his works tolkien described them as having black or otherwise dark hair.

Strictly speaking. Yeah.

Ancient Europe is far more interesting and untouched though.

Less womb and more like the next door apartment of the same building, from time to time fighting, sharing food and gossip, competing, and stealing from each other.

it was middle eastern civilization but islam didn't exist yet

What's a good book about the internal history of the HRE (aka not something that becomes "a history of the House of Habsburg" after the 15th century)?
I'm particularly interested in how the states were ruled, how they interacted between each others, and what differences were there between living in different parts of the empire.

>>1482922
For an intro to Rome, I always reccomend the History of Rome podcast. If you must have a book, then Mommsen's history would be great.

I myself am interested in some biographies of personages that have been overlooked because of Western-Eurocentrism. Fascinating stories of people like Mohammed bin Tughgluq or Stephen Dushan, that you never hear of unless you live in their countries. I would prefer biographies of kingz and shiet, but anyone would be fine, so long as their story is entertaining.

>BBC Books

Meh. There are far better. Anything Beard, Syme, Cameron or Goodman would be better.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stefanie_Rabatsch

> Hitler fell in love with her after she passed by him during her daily daughter-mother stroll in Linz, glancing at him. Although madly in love with her to the point of suicide, Hitler never once spoke with her, and she later married an Austrian army officer.

>Hitler insisted that Kubizek stalk Stefanie and delivered daily reports on her activity while he was away visiting his mother or family.[4] In one report, Kubizek wrote that Stefanie loved to dance and had taken lessons. Hitler disliked dancing and reportedly replied, "Stefanie only dances because she is forced to by society on which she unfortunately depends on. Once Stefanie is my wife, she won't have the slightest desire to dance!"

>In June 1906, Stefanie gave Hitler a smile and a flower from her bouquet as she was passing him in her carriage.[5] Kubizek later described the scene:
>Never again did I see Adolf as happy as he was at that moment. When the carriage had passed he dragged me aside and with emotion he gazed at the flower, this visible pledge of her love. I can still hear his voice, trembling with excitement, 'She loves me!'

This man is directly responsible for hundreds of millions of deaths and mass suffering and starvation that continue to this day

Yes. Diocletian's legalization of Christianity was one of largest blunders in all of history.

>>1505817

Short story: Yes, Christianity did have a hand in destroying the Roman Empire


However the main reason as to why the Empire fell is because the Romans lost the will to expand their Empire and instead concentrated on maintaining Pax Romana. Also the amount of different ethniticities inside the Empire which increased in number as the Empire expanded, helped undermine Roman unity. Heck, in the late imperial period (200-476) people of non-Greco-Roman ethnicity even managed to become Emperor (i.e. Diocletian who was of Illyrian descent).

While Christianity originally helped strengthen the declining Empire by providing a common religion for all Roman citizens, it ultimately proved to be Rome's downfall, since Christian and Pagan mobs would fight each other, thereby creating even more discord inside the Empire. Furthermore, the antiscientific doctrines of early Christianity would stunt scientific growth in the west for almost an entire millenium (i.e. killing of Hypatia). Also Christian priests promoted reckless immigration of Christian Germanic tribes, in the hopes that they would help combat the pagans.

I'm going to hazard a guess and say that the Ottomans are what finally killed it.

So... How exactly this works? Did Alexandr The Great got only Macedonia to rule over? Or, say, he got his Old Empire lands back?

>>1501428
I think he will only get Macedonia

Why?

At the very least prayer has a measurable effect on the person praying.

>>1510607
Depends on the denomination. In my own faith tradition, it's believed that God will do whatever he wants, and prayer is a way of being close with God and his family. It's been awhile since I've read on it though, so I could be mistaken.

>>1510607

Praying for head seems to work for Catholic priests.

What is ideology?

Is this an /architecture/ thread?

It wasn't an HQ. It was a monument that got abandoned.

>implying it was anything more than a way for Constantine to stabilise his empire

Theodora is a whore and Zoroastrianism is the one true faith.

Paul was a fraud, and the whole religion a farce. Polytheism is the better alternative.

It's not a double standard. Europeans came in and raped and pillaged, and some died of disease. In other words, it wasn't genocide because of disease, it was because of killing
