Were the ancient egyptians black, /his/? I always dismissed it as wewuzkangery, but recently I stumbled upon this:
http://www.sacred-texts.com/cla/hh/hh2100.htm
I quote:
" For the people of Colchis are evidently Egyptian, and this I perceived for myself before I heard it from others. So when I had come to consider the matter I asked them both; and the Colchians had remembrance of the Egyptians more than the Egyptians of the Colchians; but the Egyptians said they believed that the Colchians were a portion of the army of Sesostris. That this was so I conjectured myself not only because they are dark-skinned and have curly hair (this of itself amounts to nothing, for there are other races which are so), but also still more because the Colchians, Egyptians, and Ethiopians alone of all the races of men have practised circumcision from the first."
Is Herodotus suggesting the ancient egyptians were black, the same as the ethiopians? Like, even the original greek uses the word Αἰθίοπες.
I don't know what to make of this. Is Herodotus being unreliable?

Georgians were not Egypians and have no genetic connection with them, you should know that herodotus is full of shit and had weird ideas about the world such as Phoenicians originating in Ethiopia that are not supported by anything but myths and misinterpretations-

Egyptians depicted themselves and Puntites and Nubians in the same skintone and shade.
They were black just not the same kind of Black as nilotics.
>>
>>1471053
Um, no, check any tomb portrait and you'll see that the Nubians are pitch black and the Egyptians represented themselves as light brownish, like Arabs

>"Beasts were specially trained to copulate with women: if the girls or women were unwilling then the animal would attempt rape. A surprising range of creatures was used for such purposes - bulls, giraffes, leopards, cheetahs, wild boar, zebras, stallions, jackasses, huge dogs, apes, etc. The beasts were taught how to copulate with a human being [whether male or female] either via the vagina or via the anus." Representations of scenes from the sexual lives of the gods, such as Pasipha� and the Bull, were highly popular, often causing extreme suffering, injury or death. On occasion, the more ferocious beasts were permitted to kill and (if desired) devour their victims afterwards.[8] Chimpanzees and mandrills, both in fact ferocious and very powerful species of primate: "made drunk by wine and inflamed by the odor of females of their kind, were loosed upon girls whose genitals had been drenched with the urine of female chimps and mandrills." The victims were often virgins and not infrequently young children. One spectacle is said to have included "a hundred tiny blonde girls being raped simultaneously by a horde of baboons."

Man, all I wanted to do was be a medieval peasant in Scandinavia and cuddle with a cute redhead, our three children and a bunch of pets, on a straw bed, in a tiny shack.
And here you had to make it all weird.

Is it fair to say that sub-saharan Africa never developped a high culture because it is relativly small compared with Eurasia?

I don't think that's a good explanation, no. The Peruvian and Yucatan cradles of civilization were fairly small and were more advanced.

When did the Chinese actually consider Tibet a part of China?
>>
>>1469566
The Tibet-China debate became most significant 1912 onwards. Before that, Tibet was seen as an independent nation whose relationship with China was described by the Dalai Lama as being that of a “patron and priest”, the Tibetan Lamas serving religious duties to Chinese emperors. The PRC claims Tibet was a part of China even since the Yuan dynasty militarily took over Tibet in the 13th century. Now this is me just speculating on what I know on this topic, which isn’t a lot, but I think a major reason why many outsiders refuse to accept post-Yuan rule over Tibet is because the Yuan dynasty was established by Kublai Khan, grandson of Genghis Khan. Apparently, Genghis Khan is seen as a hero in some places in Asia, particularly Mongolia, but I’m not entirely sure about China. To the west, Genghis Khan is definitely a villain and I would assume many would agree that any political activity he did during his and his family reign should be disregarded after his dynasty falls.

I'm not even baiting, I would like to know what purpose is served by mountains of mountains of text about bullshit like metaphysics.
If there's no utility then you may as well classify philosophy as mere entertainment, like TV shows or plays, instead of pretending like it gets people anywhere.

With what do we measure "suffering"? Amount of death? Something else?
In terms of death the Soviet Union lost the most, right?

Germany. No one else was a greater victim of war crimes, no one else stood for justice as much, no one else suffers as much to this day.

Germany. Their country got partitioned into two bitch states and cucked for all eternity, their state patents got abolished and subsequently repatented in the US, the German children got brainwashed into thinking that any sort of patriotism is literally Hitler. Literally the biggest nationwide sissification in human history.

OP you should become a selectman or other local politician. it's easy as fuck as long as you promote yourself well! small towns just vote for whoever's name they've been seeing around. my friend just did that.
Degrees Attained:
>B.Mus. in Music Tecnology
>M.Sc. in Acoustics
Degrees Undertaking
>M.Clinical Audiology
I'm gonna work as an audiologist and teacher, preferably overseas (US citizen here). The audiology will give me some prestige and a well-paying day job to always rely one, the rest of my degress and experience will give me lots of opportunities for teaching and consulting work. Designing headphones, labs, listening rooms, music and medical facilities all fall under my various areas of expertise.
c-course this doesn't really have much to do with /his/ I guess

Why does Potestantism seem so authentic and personal while Catholicism seems like nothing but endless rituals? I really think Protestantism gets closer to the original spirit of Christianity with small groups of believers rather than literally going through the motions in some huge cathedral.
