what fucks with me about the dark ages collapse is how much Anatolia changed. was it for this reason that we no longer have any Anatolian languages?

>>1227007
There are a lot of reasons, the largest of which is linguistic drift. This is honestly a stupid question, I'm not even trying to be condescending.

>>1227010
yeah, i worried about that. im new to bronze age studies.

>>1226328
Agriculture.

>>1226328
Algebra, Arabic, French, Mathematics etc. It was among the best in the world in its time with people coming from Europe to study there.
It had 700 000 pages of manuscripts as of 14th century or so.

Below me will be replies mentioning how Ayn Rand isn't philosophy.

Something actually good.

Bump. Please...any naval fans out there?

Merrimack and the Monitor was a battle that changed naval warfare in the American Civil War. Steam ships were used as coastal vessels and tug ships, useful for moving against the tide.

They're useful as commerce raiders, as they were pretty agile and could move in dead winds.

But they're vulnerable to attack with early designs. The wheel could be hit easily and put the ship out of battle. The turbine had yet to be placed at the ships rear. Early steam ships had plenty of wood in them and sailors hated the idea of having a running boiler on the ship. They thought that a coal burner would set fire to the ship.

Nice. These are the sorts of anecdotes that I crave. It would seem that the Pax Britannica didn't leave a lot of room for giant naval showdowns, but I imagine it must have been quite a strange age for these guys. Especially if you were still on a wooden ship with steampowered tech and a boiler as you said, and then you know get to know that there are ships sailing around that are equpped with exploding shells which could turn your wooden ship into splinters. I imagine there must have been a lot of paranoia and espionage where each power tried to get up to speed quickly.

And what are some other female military groups?

>>1225907
Probably more typical imperialist propaganda intent on highlighting how treacherous the tropics were in order to further justify it's colonization.

>>1227081
Nah it was real
>>1225907
They weren't really women in the sense that they were treated or seen as women, for all intents and purposes they were an elite troop of soldiers stripped of their pasts and intiated into warrior rites of Dahomey.

Blades made of meteoric iron are far from unheard of

Neat

Probably, yeah. They had the technology, just not enough people to field an army.

I think it is possible desu. Inuit kayaks were actually relatively high tech. If they would improve them it remains within possibility. But it is a tough question.

>>1225778
Tough question anon. Different interpertrations exist. It seems that the monks want to communicate us something about violins. That or they are shitposting again.

What did god mean by this?

>>1225716
Its not that there are no jobs in archaeology, especially if you live in Europe, Canada or Australia, but its money earned with hard work you could half-assedly earn doing things like Computer Science in the city instead. Its a lot of travelling in the middle of nowhere, digging dirt, doing mundane tasks and being often disappointed. If you want to have a functional family or kids before you're 35 or something, its not that perfect. Plus everybody thinks you are wasting government money and not doing anything of note. I like archaeology, really, but I wish I could have 8-10 hour working day in a city and ride subway home every day instead. Although you could earn good money with it, especially in Australia. No kidding, 100k/year even if you go full retard.

Don't do history though, I don't think there is work in this field anymore, maybe in America.

>>1225742
Yeah that's what I was thinking myself. I guess I just really like the Romance Nations of Europe and wish to go there. Maybe I should do an exchange program instead. I was thinking Galicia or some other country in Spain. Maybe Italy, but I'll have to check how the Community College does that. I also don't know if the university that I transfer to would even allow me to do an exchange program the first year I get there. Ahh, aspirations.

>>1225757
Look into a minor in classics(Rome and Greece).

The schools in my country(Canada) often have exchanges and trips over to Europe.

Also you get that history component (although fairly rigid) and you won't have to sacrifice your major.

>>1225696
I do not think you can accurately answer this question anon. What would the reason be that they never collapsed?

Well, for starters, the girl in your picture would have been raped by whatever neo-Beria was in charge of the KGB.

You can pretty much see the USSR 2.0 lite happening right now. It's still shit.

Reminder that the Persians outnumbered the Arabs in every battle they fought

>>1225520
Because India is literally in a worse position than Persia/Byzantium: it;s a region with a bunch of Hindu Kingdoms.

Also fucking Turkics conquer shit as a hobby. And Mahmud of Ghazni led the first serious Islamic incursion into India.

>>1225520
India was always always more vulnerable than Persia, it was a bunch of independent kingdoms and principalities with constantly shifting borders because no one liked one another. The conquest itself was very slow, there wasn't a unified effort by the forces of Islam to capture the land for the Caliph and for Islam, it was mostly adventurers who wanted to create their own little kingdoms, preferably outside the Caliph's influence. Trade and the riches of the Hindu temples were also a huge factor in Arabs migrating there.


And by the time the Mughals got there, there had been a Muslim presence in India for centuries, it was nothing new to have a Muslim monarch for a majority Hindu population, there were even situations where the opposite happened and everyone got along fine.

bump guys, this is what this board is fore

>>1225401
I think it is possible. The Japanese were a collectivist culture which would give them an edge against the Spanish cataholics.

>>1226174
yeah collectivism is pretty much the best
I really hate people who disagree with my government
