I'm no expert

At first I assumed the lettering was ancient Nordic. Then I saw the dragon, and knew it was Asiatic in design. The "5" is Indian, so is the lettering I think. From where in India or from what time, I don't know. That may not be a dragon, but a demon

I'll keep looking for the next 30mins - 1 hour.

appreciate it, i'm trying to write down the runes down now to translate. I thought it was pre-euro nordic....

>>1207600
As close as it gets but still different.

>>1207600
No. The Ancient Greeks were Nordic. Read this for better understanding.

Ignore the dissenters.

>>1207600
All we know is that ancient Greece set the standard for advancing human civilization and modern Greece can't even come close to that.

Both are pretty useless t.b.h.

For the field of humanities at least Latin is way, way more useful.

If you want to be a historian, Latin is extremely valuable. It's easily more useful for any academic or intellectual pursuit than esperanto ever will be.

If they were arguing in favour of say, German or French or Mandarin, maybe they'd have a point. I'd say being able to learn one of those languages will be usefull in more situations than Latin, but a conlang?

Esperanto is no more useful than Klingon desu. Any major ancient language is a better choice, particularly Latin.

Most of the good ideas int he New Testament are basically borrowed from Stoic philosophy with some butt-hurt thrown in.

>>1207580
Such as?

Please, the NT is Platonic if anything, if one must compare it to that of the World.

Nothing, he just made it up from his sophomoric reading of certain excerpts in order to somehow try and discredit Christianity by invoking the fact that similar thoughts have existed.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gunpowder_Empires

Gunpowder was a trademark of Ottoman expansion.

>>1207568
If you think about it, 300 years between the 16th and 19th century isn't a long time. If you're grandpa is 80, and you live to 80, then that's already more than half that time

Anyways, there are a number of reasons. The gunpowder was different. Europeans were incredibly wealthy and could afford it, where as China probably couldn't. Japan blocked any outside foreigners, so they had no clue what Europe was doing. Some people like the Koreas were just too far away to trade with any one producing gunpowder

>>1207568
japan has alot of guns, but there were no wars to be fought after about 1640.

>>1207586
Japan had contact with the dutch and I believe the qing, they knew what was going on, the just did not care.

I believe you are both.

Yes. Orthodox not only permitted you to own the Bible, it was always actively translated.

>>1206885
Find your nearest Orthodox Church on Google maps and talk to the priest.

>>1206890
Interesting. Also, is there anything comparable to the Inquisition in the history of the Eastern church?

Nah, it was these guys; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Khoikhoi

The Cape has a more Mediterranean than tropical environment where the tropical crops used by the Bantu wouldn't grow, which is why they never colonized the area and why it was the only part of Africa where Europeans permanently settled in large numbers.

As some wise man said, arrows are for cowards.

Obviously not but that won't stop edgelords on the internet from unironically defending long-extinct feudal aristocracies.

Revolution is for political changes, evolution is for social changes.

This is why the burgers republic lasted so much longer than the frogs.

>Obviously not
It hasn't been the case in the past century. Revolutions based on abstractions,always ended up alienating a huge chunk of the population,and causing bloodbaths,and deriving in some sort of Tyranny after the revolution happened. Change can be gradual btw,this way it creats a tradition,which had a more stable foundation.

good thread
