This might be a bit of a strange question, but does anyone know about the history of house prices? Not necessarily in terms of absolute prices, but how long a man was expected to work before he could say he owned the house his family lived in? When did mortgages become common, and what was the system for home ownership before that?
I'm from the UK and, from a political perspective, I think house prices today are completely outrageous. Even if I get a good job, I'll be ~35 before I can afford a mortgage on even a small house, and I may never pay it off. Many people in lower-paid jobs will just rent their whole lives. In contrast, my parents bought our seven-bedroom house for £160,000 when they were in their mid-twenties, and in today's market it's worth £650,000. I know something happened to cause such a huge change, but I still don't fully understand what.

Dad worked in a factory, bought his house in '60 for $20,000, peak of the market in 2007 it was worth $1,800,000.
Back 500 years in your country a man could mark off land, build a house with his hands, marry a woman, and raise his children there.
Progress.

I want to go back 500 years.

I mean as far as my admittedly poor knowledge is, several generations would live together on farms in the past. I assume homes were more of an inherited thing. I don't know for sure though. Problem with modern times is that there aren't enough new houses being built, so the prices keep rising.
>>1316095
No you don't.
The fall of the Ottoman Empire was a mistake

Fake map, shit thread, kill yourself.

If they took Vienna, they would have a new logistical point.
It would be another Istanbul or Cairo for them to further expand into Europe.
Also the Battle of Lapanto made the Ottomans lose their best commanders.

According to Pr. Shi Bo, in "Trente-six Stratagèmes Chinois" (in French, ISBN 2-911858-06-9), monkeys were used in the beginning of the Southern Song Dynasty, in a battle between rebels of the Yanzhou (Yasuo) province and the Chinese Imperial Army, led by Zhao Yu. The monkeys were used as live incendiary devices. The animals were clothed with straw, dipped in oil and set on fire. They were set loose into the enemy's camp, thereby setting the tents on fire, and driving the whole camp into chaos.

religion is a coping mechanism once you face your failure of your life, just like other contrived fantasizes, your faith in the scientific method included.
Religions are meant to leave material-bodily hedonism, travels, concerts, foods, sex and so on, for a spiritual hedonism, through prayers for theists and mediation for atheists.
Plenty of material hedonist love to think of themselves as less hedonistic than they are, since it improves their hedonism in thinking that they are not animals...most people who claim to be religious are not all, it is just the way they are.
In buddhism, you even leave this spiritual hedonism, after you have gained it, which is called jhanas, since you understand that this bliss from prayers, which is just a great, but not perfect concentration-stilness, are not personal nor permanent and that you are still prone to avidity and aversion.

Answer the question or fuck off fedora I don't care about your autistic ramblings
Because other gods might be the devil in disguise like Apollo or might just be an inappropriate embodiment of one of His attributes like Athena, which distorts the true perfection of this attribute (Athena as divine wisdom).
Do you have any favorite historical clothing?
I have a thing for samurai armor, specially Heian period.
Also historic clothes thread.
Knights make me rock hard.
Call me a fedora but I love these outfits.
>Quetzalcoatl is a Mesoamerican deity whose name comes from the Nahuatl language and means "feathered serpent"

Yes. At least there would be some religious unity among them.
>>1315695
Yes. How much so is debateable. Probably would be around Visegrad tier, although a bit lower.
