Hopeful bump

Stop thinking through a 4chan lens

Not everything has to be in a "starter kit" or a "/his/ approved" list.

Ask for a period of history, or a certain event/person, etc and I'll help you out

It is better to discover books on yer own. But here's some ideas:

- War and peace and war - Peter Turchin
- Look for some book on the Silk Road there are several
- 1491 and 1493 by Charles Mann, it covers South America and its effect on Europe and beyond

I am personally looking for something on Africa, Australia and Polynesia. So if anybody got any ideas, hit me up!

>Communication Technology

This is the answer for why we advanced so fast all of a sudden, we could easily talk with the whole world - something which was never possible before.

In 100 years the quality of the world changed immensly just because we were able to talk to each other, what would happen if we stopp fighting?

Because it's the exact opposite of Soviet communism as practised when she lived in the USSR. It seems to have good advice, because doing the opposite of the Soviets is good advice in general, but it doesn't hold together as consistent; each policy is merely based on being different from the Soviet equivalent, not on any underlying philosophy.

>Your father was the last best thing to happen to Russia
>Gave the people freedom and helped them in their time of need
>The people respond by killing him
>You proceed to fuck the people in the ass like they fucked your father
Makes perfect sense to me, desu.

that contrived formal system is the pinnacle of sterility and the opposite of empiricism , empiricism which remains the refusal to dwell in your mental proliferation, even though rationalist love to say the contrary

Assuming OP is French it's probably fairly accurate, most Anglo sources on French stuff are utter trash in my experience

Indeed, it's astonishing how many native Japanese are ignorant of their history and it's up to me, a naturalized Japanese to correct them. Whatever will these savages do without me?

Literally Shit

It's like pornography, I can't define it, but I know it when I see it.

Iirc cuck has become a literal term. True chastizing may not really be chastity though. When my boyfriend is in chastity, he still gets hard and drips pre.

>>1479807
a cuckold by definition is a person whose spouse is unfaithful.

that's the objective definition, that doesn't necessarily indicate anything about a person who is a cuckold. once you add context then you can go further into this subject

>If one enjoys the experience of watching as one's girlfriend copulates with a black man, does one automatically become a cuck despite not identifying as one?
yes you are
cuckoldry as a status and cuckoldry as a fetish are separate concepts. you can be a cuckold and not be into cuckoldry just as you can not be a cuckold and get off to videos of cuckoldry.

any person who starts a thread on 4chan is a cuck

A shield isn't an impenetrable bulwark you can hide behind indefinitely. It's (usually) made of wood, leather, maybe edged in iron/steel with metal spars to reinforce it. It'll take some damage, but it will split and splinter. A good swing from a dane ax will smash through a shield in all likeliness. Against lighter weapons they're more useful, but still won't take repeated bashing for too long unless it's a high quality example.

Depends on the shield really.

You have either wicker shields with leather coverings, simple wooden two cross-plied shields, and shit like the Aspis which is a wooden, crossplied shield with a bronze facing and gets passed from father to son.

By sea obviously like everyone did back then since it was much cheaper

>Why are there no weapons found in any of the several Indus Valley Civilization archaeology sites?

What are you talking about? They've found spear and arrowheads at them.

>By what means do you suspect the Indus Valley had the ability to trade with the Mesopotamians? overland? by sea? which routes on land? on sea?

Sea seems more likely. Don't several of the Sumerian inscriptions relating to "Meluhha" talk about the ports?

>>1479141
>What are you talking about? They've found spear and arrowheads at them.
Don't be coy. The amount of weapons found in the Indus Valley sites are shockingly low, almost embarrassingly so when you account for the amount of dice and toys they found.

endless shitposting about christianity

the discipline?

the study and knowledge of the past

A huge and worthless collection of old propaganda by politicians, misinformation by ignorant scholars, and outright lies people like to discuss for lack of anything better to do.
