So we just paint our dummies into different colors, form lines, and command them to stay against each one and shoot. Also they can charge... And sometimes cavalry shows up... Also artillery shells the motherfuckers as they stand close enough to each other.
What sense does it make?
Wouldn't it be better to use some kind of a disguise? Shoot from the cover and attack in small groups?

That's 18th century style.
Napoleonic style is more dynamic.

I mean those kinds of rifles are only considered accurate in mass volleys. You could go for a stealthy approach, but how would that work with 20+ people? Not only that but after you fire your position is immediately compromised.

In greatest and most likely probability, Jesus was nothing more than an apocalyptic preacher in 1st century Judea who taught about either the need for the reform of Judaism or that he was the Jewish messiah and that the end times were near (or perhaps a combination of both). However, he was most likely put to death under orders of the Romans for causing agitation, and either through a 'pious' crime or actual displacement of his body/grave (either by mistake or grave robbery or some other method), was believed to have either resurrected or ascended into Heaven like Elijah.
His immediate followers (Nazarenes and eventually Ebionites) were simply Jews who considered Jesus a great teacher, at at most, a prophet.
Most - if not all - of what is written in the Biblical NT is the invention of either Paul or those Greek converts who worked off of Paul's ideas, themselves either outright lies or delusions. Ironically, the Church in its persecution of the Ebionites destroyed whatever might have remained of the original actual teachings of Jesus.
Jesus (Yeshua) was probably a real individual; Christ is a mythical and fictional character.

But this is the best part. If it weren't for them Christianity would be just Judaism.

Are there any documentaries about Hitler that aren't stupid and childish? They basically all go:
>This is a picture of Hitler as a child
>Bet his mother didn't know he would become PURE EVIL
I mean goddamn I just want to learn about this period of history.

What was the religion of Leonardo da Vinci? I've heard everything from reluctant Catholic, to Deist to Gnostic to crypto-Pagan.
My favorite theory is that he was from a Gnostic sect that revered John the Baptist instead of Jesus, and that he's paintings are full of Gnotisc and occult symbolism and allusions to the primacy of John the Baptist, but I'd like to know what other people have to say.

Seems pretty far fetched. Was there such a sect in northern Italy at that time?
>>
>>1295890
I don't desu I've only read analisys of his paintings. But I know for a fact that the Renaissance saw a revival of occultism.
>>
>>1295870
Could be. Gnosticism had gone underground in those times. Most of them went into alchemy.

What texts/books would you recommend for research on the history based on the events of the film Kingdom of Heaven? I know fully well that the film is highly fictionalized, and I am not looking to it as some epic war story. Any recommended original texts or books (preferably in English) would be appreciated.

Samurais already used guns by the the time of the Boshin war.

Which makes them kinda pointless doesn't it? Why have samurai when you can have ashigaru who do the same shit?

I'd assume this is true, but samurai will have higher morale and their armor will stop a ball at long distance. May as well use them.

not really, a czar was more of an emperor of kingdoms and duchies, to call a czar a king was an insult, kings would bow to the czar.

Czar literally means king though

Yes. They;re fat-cats who sleep all day, eat loads of meat, and have their subordinates do all the hunting for them. The bourgeois of the animal kingdom.

Is anyone else disappointed by ancient and medieval warfare? It was just a bunch of dull sieges and spearmen poking each other. Speaking of spearmen why weren't pikes used instead?

Pikes are spears, and they were used.
Also nice trips.
>>
>>1295232
What's the point of a spear when you can have a longer pike?
>>
>>1295279
So you can use a shield and fight better individually.
