>Anyway, do Christians really believe literally on the 'resurrection of the body' thing? Like, the skeletons rise, get another flesh, or something like that?

Mostly yes, they don't tend to give it much thought tho because it's such a ridiculous doctrine, especially the whole "you get judged twice" part.

But these jeweled skeletons are from a very specific period of European history (primarily the calamitous 14th century), where death by plague was an everyday occurrence and images of death became omnipresent in art.

>>1267192
Sounds practical. The common people saw them as some kind of motivational art, then?

>>1267120
No - Hannibal was.

I don't think he was depicted as black friend

Hippocrates was familiar with bandaging and bone-setting, possibly learning those directly or indirectly from Egyptian sources.

I've seen Hindus claiming their predecessors were performing surgerical operations in the Vedic period but I haven't verified this.

Orthopaedics, traumatology and dentistry are obviously the oldest fields. I've seen historians of medicine claiming that the earliest bone-setting procedures date all the way back to the Paleolithic.

As for the middle ages:

Anaesthesia is a disturbingly recent practice, almost all surgery was very painful.

In order to become what it is now, surgery needed a lot of changes, the revolution begins with the 1700s, and by the 1800s it has become a proper university discipline.

Hospitals and higher medical and surgical education all change during those years into things resembling ours.

To answer the question more directly: it was scary, bloody, unhygienic, dangerous, lethal, and painful.

>>1267051
and not that infrequently, ineffective as a treatment to boot.

it would be extremely painful

Do you have historical sources of them being used?
The closest I can think of is Julius Caesar's books on using "flaming darts", which is huge ballista missiles, and burning pigs.
Don't remember any actual arrows being fired from a bow ever mentioned.

so he believes that they didn't use them AND that they did use them?

>>1266957
Fire arrows were used for both purposes. They were not used commonly as they require a bit of prep.

Why do I feel nothing instead of something?

Why does there have to be a why?

Thanks to the Big Bang. Which presumably was some kind of Quantum Fluctuation, Thanks Physics ;_;

>Spartacists take control of Berlin
>Months later, french Renault tanks rush down the city

>Germany turns communist
>Poland eventually gives and is divided by Germany and Russia
>Italy is still going strong
>Britain, France and the western powers see communism spreading
>They ally with Italy
>Spain, Austria, the Netherlands and other countries join the alliance
>Righteous crusade against Bolshevism
>Roman empire restored

Why couldn't this have happened!

>>1266854
The rise of Hitler would have been entirely averted, even the British bourgeoisie might have realised the game was up

Friendly reminder that both Palestine and Israel (and Belgium) are fake nations.

>Palestine is not a real country

Neither is Ukraine. Or Turkey.

>>1266837
I agree but the Jews claim on the land is equally weak. It's based on religious which shouldn't be a serious basis for any major political decision.

Which is more selfish/immoral, killing yourself and causing your loved ones to suffer, or guilting someone with a miserable life to stay alive just for you?

mother fucking elephants

I see him overlooking the mountains, as he sees his elephants fall to their deaths. Then while his underlings are beseeching him to turn back with the crash of tons of ivory crashing to the valley floor in the background he will whisper "more" to which his underlings will say "what?". He will then look them in the eye and scream "MORE.....MORE ELEPHANTS MUST DIE"

It's surprising they followed him up there

>>1266407
If you live in the isles don't you guys walk up mountains barefoot & it's the same as a pilgrimage

>>1266407
>Also, I live in Canterbury and I am thinking of walking to Rome. Should I?
That would be fun regardless of what religion you follow.

Anna Komnene/nena/nenwhatever met Bo when she was 14 and Bo was 43.
