>Although most theologians of the early Church read the scriptures as indicating a flat earth, Augustine was not so sure. But he was vehement in denouncing the view that human beings lived at the antipodes, that is, on the opposite side of earth. If they did, they would not be able to see Christ descending from the heavens at the Second Coming.

What did he mean by this? Did he literally think Jesus was living the sky? A sky-fairy, so to say?

Who actually were the Chichimecs? What kind of social structure did they have?

Were they similar to the Navajo and Comanche? Was their culture all about war?

A desert and jungle-border dwelling people. What little I read on them is from Aztec research so I get the impression they are very behind in technology and civilization compared to the almighty Nahua.

If I were to be skeptical of the Aztec description, it would lead me to believe they were developed enough to have standing villages and bureaucracy. They would also be behind enough to retain many customs seen in the Navajo and other North American tribes.

They hat qt3.14 waifus too, senpai

Funny enough they gave the Spaniards a harder time than the Aztecs did. One chronicler said that Chichimecs considered it a bad shot if they aimed the arrows at ones eye and it went in between the eyes instead. Another which said a mere four chichimecs forced 50 spanish allied natives to retreat. And they refused to confront them again.

I could believe it. A less settled people would be a bitch to fight for the Spaniards and their allies - all of which are used to Aztecs and their "allies" throwing bodies at them like madmen

Are there any good arguments for anti-evidentialism?

>One need only look at a woman’s shape to discover that she is not intended for either too much mental or too much physical work. She pays the debt of life not by what she does but by what she suffers—by the pains of child-bearing, care for the child, and by subjection to man, to whom she should be a patient and cheerful companion. The greatest sorrows and joys or great exhibition of strength are not assigned to her; her life should flow more quietly, more gently, and less obtrusively than man’s, without her being essentially happier or unhappier.
>Women are directly adapted to act as the nurses and educators of our early childhood, for the simple reason that they themselves are childish, foolish, and short-sighted—in a word, are big children all their lives, something intermediate between the child and the man, who is a man in the strict sense of the word. Consider how a young girl will toy day after day with a child, dance with it and sing to it; and then consider what a man, with the very best intentions in the world, could do in her place.

It's a trend in art that has steadily decreased. Save for shit like Neon Genesis Evangelion, modern depiction of angels is almost exclusively in the "robed androgyn" school of thought.

I know ramming was a pretty standard strategy for Greeks, and some boats even had ballistae attached.

Mediterraneans typically built ships with mortise and tennon joins joining the planks with the frame not supported that much but the skin being the main structural body. This made them good ships but also vulnerable to underwater rams which could dig in this type of hull with some ease.

So Boarding and ramming it is!

Medieval galleys were built in a different manner and the underwater ram lost it's effectiveness so they were just stuck with boarding.

Hey /his/, brainstorming ideas for a book. I want to do a western that's not set on the American frontier/American West. I was thinking there would be some time periods in Europe that showed the same traits as the american frontier or the traits of a good western.

Any period of time like this in europe?

One of my thoughts is pic related, the more sparsely populated parts of russia during the russian revolution. that was pretty lawless and I think the idea of Slavic "cowboys" with Mosin rifles and Nagant revolvers could be pretty cool.

How do we get with the Greeks then - no God but a healthier society?

I hate to sound like a god-botherer here, but IMO it's because people try to answer questions with science that that have traditionally been answered with metaphysics and/or philosophy out of a disdain for the latter two approaches and, ironically, place faith in science even when it doesn't answer satisfactorily because of their aforementioned disdain.

I blame the decline in the quality of education desu, but that's another thread and probably more suitable for /pol/.

Also, before you start retorting with muh citations needed, note that firstly, most of those edits were made by mad weeaboos, as demonstrated by pic related (also the spanish article is far better written and researched).
Also, here is the primary source, although I don't think it'll be very useful for most of you as it is written in XVII century spanish caligraphy

And there is a whole lot of difference between a pirate crew and... for example, Shimazu Yoshihisa's army.

Hello /his/. Im quite new to this board so forgive me for anything that is questionable on this board.

I'm doing a 2000 word essay on whether or no Leonardo da Vinci did actually have subliminal messages in his artworks and whether or not they were intentional. I need some input here because I'm just finding far fetched explanations all over the internet as opposed to an actual unbiased argument as to whether or not he did actually have subliminal messages in his works. So I come in my time of need asking you all to say anything that you believe is beneficial towards the subject at hand as well as have an open debate about it. Hit me.

Well there are some hidden messages in the mona lisa. Maybe he wanted to separate himself from the hidden messages as much as possible by doing it in the form of a female
