Help /his/
I'm currently 4th grade of high school, 18 years old, and I'm thinking about studying history since it was my favorite subject, but I've heard from my ex history teacher that it's hard to find a job with a history diploma, and that it doesn't pay much. I'm also thinking about studying psychology.

Is it worth to study history, and how hard is it to find a job as a historian or a history proffesor?

The Dutch prime minister studied history and worked in a company before his career in politics.

Anyone else willing to help?

This is the map of Europe described by Pomponius Mela in 44 AD. Norwegian arctic explorer Frithjof Nansen drawed this back in 1911.
What catches the eye is that he describes a great bay ("Codanus sinus") of pre-eminent size; this name reappears in Pliny the Elder's work as Scatinavia.
Codanovia and Scatinavia were both Latin renderings of the Proto-Germanic *Skaðinawio
Far more interesting is the fact that the noble Belgae are mentioned here twice.
Once below the Rhine, same place where they are today.
Once next to, to the right of, the Vistula, which pretty much means that the whole Baltic region is in fact legitimate Belgian clay.
I know Belgae (namely the Menapii) were a sea-faring tribe who colonised parts of eastern Ireland (Fermanagh, Monaghia, Menapia now called Wexford), Isle of Man (Monapia), the island Anglesey (Mona) and the Welsh coastal region.
The Menapian haplogroup subtype is known and has been found in Sweden, but of course that could also be from slavery, there not the only Celts found up there.
But Belgae who have settled in the Baltic region, possibly having to do with the amber trade there, this puts it in a new light.

Interesting. But should be backed by archeology and genetics. Two completely unrelated peoples having the same name in ancient sources, even witgin the same source, is nothing new.
>>
>>1209101
Possibly, but then there should be a reason why they were confused. My experience is that both Greeks and Romans were fairly accurate in their descriptions of foreign tribes, especially the ones further away, with the limitations they had.
>>
>>1209109
Using the same name doesn't mean they're being confused. They never confused both iberias. Does your source explicitly claim both Belgae are the same?

Was talking to my grandfather about it today, he grew up in Northern Rhodesia and always goes on about it and how it was great living there before the blacks fucked it up.
A couple people to look into would be Cecil Rhodes and Robert Mugabe. I don't know much about it myself though.

Why were people during the ancient times so sexually liberal compared to the middle ages and beyond before the sexual revolution? You have people writing books about sex and almost viewed it as a way of life as well as normalized homosexual activities. Was it because of religion?

Alright guys, so I want to educate myself more. I've come to the realization that I know more about geometry and algebra than history and philosophy. I want to learn about the great men of history and the most influential philosophers of the world. I hate how our education system blows all of this stuff out the window, like why the fuck am I learning the god damn pythagorean theorem and unit circle? It's fucking retarded and honestly immoral. I just want a better understanding, to be more enlightened (fedora), and more importantly I want something to fucking stand for. I want to stand for something I truly believe in. I can't fucking stand for the pythagorean theorem! There's no substance! There's no god damn heart in it! I'm young and I need to make up for lost time while I still can, so please, show me what you've got.
give like your five most influential books or texts, or more even. I thank you in advance and I'll take a look at everything you post.

Nietzsche tried to make all the thoughts of prayer his own, to contain with his body, his ego, his ferociously superhuman conception of himself all the "thoughts of prayer" of mankind immemorial. And thus, his body and mind revolted and at having to take on so much charge; and he went mad, and collapsed in Turin in front of a horse - and his head exploded; like Icarus, he played the gods and lost.

Ashkenazi Jews have a ton of Northern European ancestry, but traditionally they lived separate lives from Christians by force and by choice.
How did this mixing happen? Was intermarriage not always taboo, or was rape by gentiles just incredibly common?

I could swear I read somewhere that Ashkenazi Jews have very European m-DNA, indicating Jewish men married local women, but as to how it happened, I have no idea.

No they don't. They're a Middle Eastern / Caucasian / Mediterranean / Eastern European mix.

What's /his/'s consensus on this book?
Is it worth to read it, or is it just biased crap with cherry picked accounts?
>The Marriage of Likeness: Same-Sex Unions in Pre-Modern Europe (New York: Villard, 1994) argues that the adelphopoiia liturgy was evidence that the attitude of the Christian church towards homosexuality has changed over time, and that early Christians did on occasion accept same-sex relationships.[5]
>Rites of so-called "same-sex union" (Boswell's proposed translation) occur in ancient prayer-books of both the western and eastern churches. They are rites of adelphopoiesis, literally Greek for the making of brothers. Boswell, stated that these should be regarded as sexual unions similar to marriages. Boswell made many detailed translations of these rites in Same-Sex Unions, and stated that one mass gay wedding occurred only a couple of centuries ago in the Archbasilica of St. John Lateran, the cathedral seat of the Pope as Bishop of Rome.
>This is a highly controversial point of Boswell's text, as other scholars have dissenting views of this interpretation, and believe that they were instead rites of becoming adopted brothers, or "blood brothers."[6][7][8] Boswell pointed out such evidence as an icon of two saints, Sergius and Bacchus (at St. Catherine's on Mount Sinai), and drawings, such as one he interprets as depicting the wedding feast of Emperor Basil I to his "partner", John. Boswell sees Jesus as fulfilling the role of the "pronubus" or in modern parallel, best man.[citation needed]

Probably. There's a reason it's only come out in the past decade or so. If same sex marriage truly was okay in Europe, historians would have already written about it.
