She played nicely with the priesthood. The power of the priests cannot be overstated; it was they who really got to choose the pharaoh. Since they had a direct line to the gods, they were trusted in ecclesiastical matters, and thus could decide if the pharaoh had divine right to rule, or was a divine at all. Hatshepsut could either let her son Thutmose III rule by himself (as a direct puppet of the priesthood) or she could act as a regent while still obeying the priesthood more or less. She did great things in her own, don't get me wrong, but she didn't do anything against the will of the priests. She would have been out of there if she had; look at Akhenaten for example.

Thanks man was wondering if the family tree would be important for a question like this cause she used family right to claim the throne

>>1293233
Yes, she was the daughter of Thutmose I. She was sister to Thutmose II, as well as his wife, and mother of Thutmose III. She had royal right, and as such was later censored by future pharaohs who thought that if her claim could support a pharaoh so splendid, others may think their claim just as good. So they censored her to prevent ideas from spreading. But given her position in the royal family it isn't surprising she took power.

The battlefield series is my favorite although alot of them were taken off youtube. It has some minor errors of course. I like it because it leaves politics mostly out and focuses on the military situation.

"Most evil" ~Though to me it is just interesting to watch. I don't think it is necessary to feel as if being or becoming evil watching them.

They wouldn't, lol.

I don't think Ottomans ever really had the technology or drive for transoceanic voyages. The Chinese or Brits would've probably been the first discoverers in that case.

I believe they did, but the Spaniards cock blocked them

If you didn't want a discussion, then why did you open a thread?

Nice spooks

Patriotism is the last refuge of the scoundrel.

I would argue that Americans have unique and special grounds to be patriotic. Americans can and should be proud of their nation in a way that no other nation on Earth can be proud, because unlike all other nations, America was explicitly founded on a set of principles and ideals. We are a nation of ideas and dreams.

Reminder that America has always, ALWAYS hated the Catholic Church.

Reminder that the Catholic Church has exercised supreme patience and peace in not responding to that hatred in kind. The Church could have balkanized America, if they so chose. At the very least they could have unleashed waves of terror on the scale of the IRA in Ireland--and wouldn't they have been justified in doing so? America could have seen acres of blood spilled.

But the Church played nice. It's good to remember that.

No, it's just that our conception of consciousness is undeveloped.

What is matter? What is all this? What is nature? What is being?

No. All values are axiomatic, you cannot derive an ought from an is

I'm sure to some extent it is. The human brain isn't a completely random thing. Cognitive neuroscience isn't a made up thing.

That still only exists on a subjective level though. It also can't account for the differences people have in morality.

More traditional than historical, I first heard polyphonic singing in a historical documentery,
Very strange, harsher than the Bulgarian Women Choir.
