The only trap Britain fell for was resisting Germany. If they only surrendered like France did they might've managed to keep their empire once the Americans liberated them.

Its mostly just a meme as far as it getting worse as they declined. The romans had a wierd sort of contrast all through their history of decadence and stoicism

The decadence was during the fall of the Republic and beginning of the Empire. The Empire was completely degenerate until Christendom.

>>1471944
So they were degenerate at their peak then?.Good to know.

Confirmation bias?

I mean I dunno, >prophesy, fucking lol.

>>1471927

Did Biblical Hebrew even have words for concepts like "republic", or any alternative form of government? I mean hell, I know that they use the word for "slave" to describe pretty much any sort of economic relationship where someone is in charge, and not just open chattel slavery.

Doubtful.

No, animals are not gifted with souls, reason, and free will; therefore aliens cease to exist upon death.

There may be some aliens in heaven but only for the glory of Yahweh. Only humans get an afterlife because humans are the pinnacle of creation. It has nothing to do with my personal fear of death.

Man that sucks for the majestic galaxy spanning alien empires that all their own esoteric faiths are actually wrong and actually some tiny fraction of the apes on some backwater planet can go to heaven.

I don't think it's ever been definitevely traced back to a single origin. It's definitely not in the torah anywhere, it's some sort of custom that gained widespread acceptance. I've heard a number of theories, but no real support for any of them, including obvious marker so the priest caste could stay away (they're not supposed to go near dead bodies), remembrance for the Temple that got sacked, or that it's a more permanent grave marker than flowers, or that placing flowers is the custom of non-Jews, so Jews should do something different.

Take your pick, I guess.

Because God commanded them to stone the wicked, but he didn't say they had to be stoned before they were dead, so this is how they get around it.

Solid post

I have yet to see a single case of a debate where someone managed to changed the views of his opponent. It literally never fucking happened.

>>1471746
EXACTLY

I just need to credit the wisdom in your post for a second.... Thank you

Seriously, no one ever changes their ideas or even considers the other sides, and literally they only have more fuel for the fight, and each side is more "right" when they leave an argument because they just hold their belief even stronger than they did before they got online.

>>1471758
In real life too, not just online. I've came to the conclusion that debates are largely useless.

Yes.

Tenochtitlan sounds like something out of a fantasy novel, even compared to cities we have today. The fact it got destroyed and the modern day shithole mexico city is LITERALLY just built on top of the remains ranks up there with the burning of the library of Alexandria as one of the biggest historical losses in human history if you ask me.

Also, OP, most of the reason they lost to the spainjish was existing socio-political conditions of the region, Montezuma II's poor decision making, diseases, and dumb luck on the Spainish's part for having Malinche.

>Can we all agree on the fact that, despite getting completely BTFO due to war and disease, the Mesoamericans, specifically the Aztec and Mayans, had some of the most interesting civilizations of the ancient world?

No. I would say cultures who created things that even today we have no idea how they did it.

Whar are assyrians , copts(true egyptians), and phenicians(lebanese christian) ?

>>1471599
>copts(true egyptians)
>


>phenicians(lebanese christian)
>


as for assyrians, they are irrelevant

50% - Iranians speak an Indo-European language that made for a much harder transition to a semitic language like Arabic. People in Egypt and Mesopotamia already spoke semitic languages that weren't far-off from Arabic.

40% - Iran had native dynasties sprout up soon enough to patronize persian-language arts and scholars, keeping the language relevant.

10% - Some degree of Persian exceptionalism. Egypt was long past its heyday and mesopotamia had been an irrelevant boxing ring for Perso-Roman conflict for centuries. Persians still had a lot of spunk left in them
