Tonga empire existed longer than Byzanitum.

>>1212204
>While modern researchers and cultural experts attest to widespread Tongan influence and evidence of transoceanic trade and exchange of material and non-material cultural artifacts, empirical evidence of a true political empire ruled for any length of time by successive rulers is lacking.[1]

"""Empire"""

Made islam it better or worse?

What proximity?

there are more longitudal geographic barriers than latitudal ones

>>1187687
There might have been. Mississippian oral culture (we know oral culture to actually be pretty reliable for broad strokes like geological events, mass migrations, etc.) told of a boogeyman from the south. They would scare their children by saying if they didn't behave, a great feathered serpent would sail up the river and snatch them away.

Plus there are non-nahua skulls found in sacrificial sites, meaning having the larger north americans as slaves may have been a status symbol (you only sacrificed important people usually, meaning nobles and slaves and whatnot, as Tlaloc only wanted the richest and purest blood. anything else might be considered an insult)

Further, fine works of obsidian have been found all throughout the mississippi basin region, meaning the mayans/nahua probably traded raw materials at least. Also, the mesoamericans were the ones to breed corn from a grain into what it is today, and it spread throughout the continent despite having a huge fuckoff desert in between them and the nearest agriculturalists.

That said the Nahua people claim to have mass-migrated from the ethereal "Tula", which most anthropologists believe to be somewhere in the American southwest (related to Chaco/Anasazi cultures).

We'd know more if the spanish didn't make a point of burning all their books and killing anyone who could write their languages.

No more so than any leader of any country deserves to die, and certainly less than the people who executed him.

Yes, because he failed to control the peasantry like a good king should.

>>1230713
No
He was a good man who cared deeply for his subjects

Let his wife cuck him with a hobo and ignored what the people wanted

>>1221543
Being an incompetent fucktard that allowed his people to starve and feel resentment towards him, without a care in the world. Then proceed to lose a war against fucking Japan and then pull Russia into a war it couldn't win.

>>1221543
everything

Ignoramus here, why would the Austro-Hungarian empire be hated?

If numerous Europa Universalis sessions suggest anything, yes. REMOVE HABSBURGS.

mathematics and science have made philosophy obsolete.

do you think a philosopher could have determined for humanity the empirical data that confirmed that time does not flow, but exists in a 4 dimensional block?

>>1227504
>mathematics and science have made philosophy obsolete.

No.

>do you think a philosopher could have determined for humanity the empirical data that confirmed that time does not flow, but exists in a 4 dimensional block?

Yes

>>1227401
Because 'great philosophies' are philosophers who have stood the test of time. No present philosophers can do that, since they're in the present, obviously.

Also, Byzantine and Western Roman Empire both count as Rome.

1 John 5:7 For there are three that bear witness in heaven: the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit; and these three are one.

It's way more "realistic" than GoT, even though it got a shitload more fantasy elements.

Cities makes great sense in The Witcher universe.


Also, it's dynasties aren't fucking 8000 years old like in GoT which is already a huge fucking improvement over GoT.

>>1231266
The witcher (the games, the books are above average genre fiction) is high literature in video game form, game of thrones is genre fiction. Comparing them is misguided.
It's hard to say how accurate either show is as they don't take place in history. The Witcher has more clear historical inspiration though. GoT has a ton of wars as inspiration, the witcher is more focused on Polish folklore and history ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pQHsmiFJqJc this analysis gives some examples). The costumes are generally very accurate, while the behavior and value I doubt. Not an expert on poland and also drunk

>>1231295
I think the really old family dynasties is more of a myth (in the got universe of course).

It seems like some sort of really ancient history, where it's mainly fairytale. The time could have been exaggerated to make the houses seem more powerful.

I guess if space is.

the present is the only real thing. past and future are merely ideas.

>>1227818
no basic physics
light distance and shit anon

50 miles from here the future has already begun

>>1226830
No.

Explain please. Do you think that buddhism couldn't be dogmatic and used by Medieval rulers to force their culture on other people? I think perhaps it could.

No, we would have pagan Buddhism, with all the hilarious contradictions of Shinto Buddhism, but it somehow works and people don't sweat it to much
Thor reached enlightenment by punching oxen

What is cultural knowledge?

>>1218900
Obviously a posteriori knowledge, not a priori.

You have to learn it from someone either by direct speech, or by observing how humans behave.

>>1218910

Kant argues that mathematics is made up of synthetic a priori propositions, yet we have to learn math from others.

Matilda obviously, Henry I literally proclaimed her his heir. Stevo was a smelly usurper.

>>1233282
Matilda of course, but history doesn't care about who's in the right. Bigger army decides what's right.

>>1233282
Empress Matilda was in the right, Stephen was a rotten King and all should be grateful that Matilda's son came in and restored the law.
