What does /his/ think of this? I think it's refreshing that the history channel is making an actual history series again. Reminds me of their dark ages series from a few years ago.

Because the recessive genes her parents carried obviously didn't compound enough to be disabling. Consanguinity doesn't immediately equal Deliverance, and if it did it wouldn't be the norm for monarchies throughout history.

The Ptolemy's practiced incest? I thought that they would've gotten rid of that since they were of Greek heritage. I mean come on, it was the first century B.C.
ancient pharaohs probably had tons of concubines, I doubt there was much inbreeding going on. They probably married close relatives to keep up appearances

Hi Guys, the purpose of this thread is to discuss all things Iranic. There's far too much information to try and discuss in one thread so I'll lay some groundwork first.
Please feel free to ask any questions about anything relevant and I'll try my best to answer it.
I'll add as much as possible so long as this thread is kicking around.
I'll start with ancient history and eventually work my way to modern day (focusing on different tribes, religions, and socio-political issues - mainly attributable to the Islamic Republic)
>>1333449
Indo-European Branch 1 (Ancient, dispersed from Pontic-Caspian Steppe to Caucasus & Iran, Russia, Ukraine and Poland)
Tribes:
Androphagi
Agathyrsi
Agrippaeans
Amyrgians
Budini
Dahae
Geloni
Gargarii
Haraiva
Legae
Mathura
Parni
Saka
Suren
Scythia was not a homogenously Iranic. It was - most recently - composed of Iranics, Slavics, Turkics, and North Indian peoples who all shared a similar Iranic identify (language, culture, religion). When the Achaemenid empire arose and dominated the world, Scythians became dispersed. Most fleed Persian attacks that were bottle-necked through the Caucasus further into the Steppe (East). Others travelled deeper into Iran for trade and prosperity, and some travelled to their western neighbours (Greeks) and even more North-West into modern day Eastern Europe. Genetic studies show that they belonged to three main haplogroups (R1a, G2a, and J2a). The presence of these haplogroups confirms my above point that they were of a mix of genetically (slightly) differentiated peoples. All however, share the indo-european marker (xxA). R1a's is currently strongest in Eastern Europe followed by Iran, G2a is strongest in the Caucasus, and J2a is strongest in Iran, Anatolia (Hitties), and Caucasus. Scythians were the first people to master mounted warfare. When they dispersed East, they most likely introduced this type of fighting to Mongolians and other Eastern peoples.

Indo-European Branch 2 (Ancient, dispersed from Pontic-Caspian Steppe to Caucasus & Iran)
Medes (Median Empire, Safavid?, Afsharid?)
Persians (Achaemenid, Sassanid, Samanid, Safavid?, Afsharid?, Qajar, Pahlavi)
Parthians (Parthian Empire)
The Medes were the first Iranic tribe to organize and combine the other related tribes into an empire. Modern day Kurds and Azeri's have both claimed Median ancestry and it is very probably that this is in fact true. Kurds and Azeri's are both Iranic peoples (genetically) and have traditionally populated Northwestern Iran. The Medes were soon conquered by the Persians who changed the face of Asia as it was known. Building on the systems of the Babyloans (who have improved on the work of the ancestors, the Sumerians, Akkadians, etc...) they built the largest empire the world has ever seen (based on world population). After their temporary fall, marked by Alexander the Great's admirable conquering, the next Iranic tribe that came to power were the Parthians. Iranian history continued after the Parthians by the entrance of new Persian and Persianate (Most notably Seljuq, Timurid, Ilkhanate, Ottoman, and Mughal) Empires.
Cyrus the Great was the greatest King to have ever lived.

Why do Italian-Americans created criminal gangs and organized crime instead of working hard like other immigrant groups?
>organized crime is not hard work
>>1332269
Are you saying organised crime isn't hard work?
You know the Jews, the Irish, the Poles, and the Russians got into the same game.
I bet you think Al Capone or Bugsy Siegel are Italian names.

Hannibal is pretty out there, I'll give you that

Can /his/ give me an historical perspective on US-Mexican immigration?
When did it start? How when it was in the past? How did former administrations manage it?
I think it's important to learn the past to understand the present....
>>1340811
>When did it start?
The moment a person from either country crossed into the other.
What a stupid question.
People emigrate all the time all over the world.
>>1340811
immigration has always been a thing for as long as the US and Mexico have shared a border.
but you're asking about the spike in incoming people, are you not? it'd be better to clarify it that way.
what caused it to spike is a mostly the Drug Wars going on, where Los Zetas or the Sinaloa Cartel and others are outright occupying Mexican territory and collecting tax money from the cities they administer. This has caused a significant population displacement where people run to the US for work and stability, and it's relatively easy to do that with little to no ramifications if you're an illegal in the US.
There's plenty of other personal reasons for a person to want to make the crossing, but the main driver is to flee from Cartel occupation or just stay uninvolved in the fighting altogether.
And of course the Cartels themselves do the same thing in crossing, but instead they do it to sell to their American markets and make money, but these cartel sellers usually are in and out within a few days, whereas the displaced are the ones who are generally in the US to stay.

This, with the abolition of quota systems following the Hart–Celler Act
>tldr, prior to 1965 american vetted their immigrants and had a set number of each ethnicity they would accept
>post-1965, the metaphorical floodgates opened and both American political parties schemed to farm immigrants and low-wage laborers as a voting bloc
Contemporary border security is deliberately lax, as both sides have demonstrated a vested interest in what largely poor Christian immigrants offer them.

Think for yourself and decide where you stand on each issue based on the knowledge you can acquire and your own moral compass.
