I like the concept, but you can't fit a whole lot of pictures or info into a 50 page book.

Their edition of the paraguayian war was pretty good.

Looking for the one about the byzantine empire during the Macedonians.

If you are a spiritual person, only the wisdom of an enlightened sage-like holy person will do.

If you don't really care for world religion and spirituality someone like Nietzsche would probably make sense to you.

I'm asking about historical validity.

I dunno about Christianity, but we've learned a shit ton about the Greeks since Nietzsche wrote about Greek religion and morality. He simply shouldn't be used to analyze religions, anyway, because all he has to say is negative; a positive analysis of religion has no place for his shit.

Promoting consumerism as an end in itself.

Citizens now more informed about goods and services that allows them to made rational economic choice.

retards think that ads manipulate them in imposing standards created by mad men

in fact, mad men take an underground culture, as people say today, and expose it. the latest example is the geek to sell electronic goods and internet access.

this has two effects:
-normies discover a new trend which fuel their craving of hedonism through love of exoticism, to better hate boredom
-the people in the underground culture are pissed off, because ''normies took our memes'' and turned our culture into bland acceptions.

They would absolutely be against it considering how followers of Islam have harmed Germany and it's people. It would probably end up like this movie.

They would probably convert

very likely, unless we're talking about who is responsible for the death of christ, then they are all definitely 100% descended from the ancient hebrews. so yes and no depending on when it's convenient.

I read somewhere that Ashkenazi DNA is more similar to Italians.

Somewhere seems to be the most cited journal on this board.

Probably.

He was a particularly good emperor, but he was only one in a line of competent rulers, in a good position.

Impossible to say for sure. There may have been any number of other great kings who would have sprung up to unite Europe and check the advance of the Mohammedans, but that's pure speculation.

it's a cool idea nigga

I'm fairly certain that Atlantis was sort of conflated with other legendary lost/sunken cities. Atlantis is the most memorable of those stories, so the Atlantis name gets slapped onto all of them.

I'd be interested in a history of the story of sunken cities and lost continents, if anyone has something like that. I'd love to know where the idea for places like Mu, Lemuria, etc. came from.

Could be real events, like Cleopatra’s Palace I believe it's called which was thrown into the sea by an Earthquake, which then gets built on over the years and it just builds up and up.

Eden.

"People" is a pretty big category.

I'd say there were periods when things were stable and everyone was more or less chill.

Egypt was famous for this.

To give you an idea of how stable ancient Egypt was, they used to use mud blocks to build things, so they'd have to include a slight sloping on their vertical angles to account for the material creeping.

When they switched to limestone blocks, they kept the angling.

1,500 years after the switch, people who had no idea about the history of mud brick construction were still including a slight slope in limestone blocks, because that was the way it was done.

It's so irrelevant and obscure that not a lot of people have bothered writing on it.

bump?

There aren't any good books on Celtic mysticism. We don't know shit.

It's the other way around. Rousseau admired him but Voltaire was triggered by his ideas. He started a smear campaign against him and ruined his life.
Rousseau, who was hypersensitive, became slowly mentally ill. Hell, his paranoia even destroyed his friendly relationship with Hume.

>>1274371
i figure he kept having blank wanks and this led to his demise

interesting theory.

Most of this board probably doesn't have an answer, but bumping anyways for interesting idea

>Now, I know that there's Interlingua, which is basically a simplified form of Latin, or perhaps a sort of aggregate Romance language, designed to be more or less understandable immediately to anyone who speaks either a Romance language or a language with a sizable quantity of Latin loanwords

Why not just use Latin?

Every empire eventually falls. Considering the HRE stood for a couple of centuries (desregarding in what state), they could've done worse.

Of course not. Federalization would have saved it.

He "wins" because he comes out with philosophy and his opponents come with science, a different freaking ball park, he might as well speak Japanese and the other Russian because none of their arguments are going to hold any merit to the other.

Secondly it's hard for a guy to lose when he already came to a conclusion at 16, after his alleged encounter with the holy ghost, before even studying the field, in other words debating him is useless since he'll never change his mind and so always "win".

So I propose an answer that will generate for us a bet that can't be challenge. We live to die.
However, we don't need to live to be humans.
We might chose to end our existence to be nothing left - nothing to come after us - or shape ourselves to become something that never existed.

Here you are: a metaphysics for systemics.

Intrresting.

Let's say for example I was to be transported to tenochtitlan during the 15 century, I know that sacrificing people so the Sun doesn't go away is bullshit, does knowing thismakes me more moral than a average citizen of the city?
