So what is up with these two physically speaking? Akhenaten is represented as having wide hips, a pudgy belly, and a strangely African looking face (not quite somali, but there is some group or another that has super sharp features like he does), and his son Tutankhaten (later Tutankhamun) is later determined to have those features too? http://www.express.co.uk/news/history/525480/King-Tutankhamun-breasts-hips-club-foot-truth

Does that mean that maybe it was less of a stylistic movement (Atenist artwork) and maybe more of a pathology of the royal family? Since the Pharoah was supposed to be divinity on earth, how could the artists represent him in any other way than as they saw him (which was what determined what was "perfect"). Do you think father and son both had a disease, were of a different ethnicity, or was Atenist art truly just a style shift?

He was inbred to hell so It's not surprising that he was probably defective.

His brain seemed normal though.

It's just weird because even in the art of him he breaks a lot of cultural norms. No other Pharoah ever is depicted with their wife and kids in terms of an *actual scene*. He's playing with his kids. No Pharoah before or since is depicted in such a human way. Side note: I'm not sure Akhenaten was the greatest statesman, based on the Amarna letters. I have a pet theory that his mother Tiye, and her parents Yuya and Tjuya were forgeiners of some kind. Makes sense why freaking everyone hated Ay, and why nefertiti was so okay with him more or less controlling Tut.

Egyptians are Africans
Southern Egyptians have that sort of look, not somaili or bantu but its own thing.

he was likely inbred as fuck so that could be one reason
then again Atenism was pretty significant and a MASSIVE intellectual development which we have very little info about so its hard to say

I doubt he was a foreigner as something like that would be more obvious, its definitely more an artistic/ideological thing

his family is the family of God, making his statues look strange like that gives him an almost "otherworldly" divine look compared to the idealized human figures that were common prior.

Which wars or events in wars were the spookiest?

I remember reading about some tower siege during WW1 in which one of the camps used chemical warfare upon the other camp who in turn came out all disfigured and looking like zombies and shit causing the other camp to run away out of fear. Don't remember the precise details so it would be cool if anons could bring in more stuff on this.

It's the siege of the fortress of Osowiec
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osowiec_Fortress#Gas_attack
7000 Germans routed by a few dozen half-dead Russians, "the attack of the dead", it was called.

>Years later the Hiroshima city government requested survivors to paint or draw pictures depicting their horrific experiences and these were collected. I was greatly moved and shocked by these graphic depictions showing people with burnt and swollen hands and faces like grotesque masks. Others were shown holding their exposed intestines and bowels, trying to prevent them from falling out. Some had an eyeball hanging down from their eye socket. A mother was holding a child with a missing ear; crying,” Oh, poor baby!” The burnt skin on the arms of many people became blistered and broken hanging down like rags, so they couldn’t their arms down and had to walk zombie-like with outstretched arms. Most people lost the ability to think and they just wandered with blank stares trying to escape the fear. Stopping would only make the fear real again and so everyone just aimlessly kept on walking as much and as long possible.

Looking for good books on Napoleon's empire. What was his main ambition and goal (obviously to take Europe, but why exactly)?
Any books on Napoleon's empire's features will greatly help.

Also post period uniforms. They're pretty much my absolute favourite.

What does /his/ know about Battle of Lepanto?
21 posts and 2 images submitted.
>>
amazingly little. I just learned about it recently. It was apparently a very pivotal battle where the turks got completely devastated. It should be up there with Cannae and Waterloo and Stalingrad but it's obscure for some reason. I especially enjoyed reading about those gargantic battleships that the Italians used, i had never heard of those ships before.
>>
Spain, Papal States and Venice allied against Turks 'cause they conquered Cyprus to Venice and they threatened Malta.

Alliance was short. After Lepanto, Venice got out and started to negociate with Turks. Yes, Alliance was done for Venice and they do the retard.

Anyways, Cervantes lost one hand there and Don Juan de Austria consolidated himself as hero

No, because you could argue literally anyone is a Gary Stu if you present enough of their positive aspects whilst ignoring their bad.

Also, much of what you said is patently false.

Fledgling Nuclear Power. Not friends with their neighboring Fledgling Nuclear Power.
- 2 Nuclear Powers at a standoff over a glacier at an altitude of 19,000 ft.

/his/torically the Kashmiri question during the post British partition of India has caused tension which could have been avoided and is unlikely to be resolved any time soon.

There are serious concerns over Pakistani Nuclear command and control. People got Nuke and planet is lucky only US has used them (though I don't know if that was good) enough
