What's your favorite time and place in history. For me it's Romano-britain. The interaction of Celtics traditions with the Roman Empire is fascinating to me...

For a board that prides itself for being Romanboos abd Napoleonboos, there are really very few threads about each of those.
Now's a good time as any.
Why was the Roman Empire the best military machine?
Why was Napoleon one of the greatest leaders?
>>1034827
>Why was the Roman Empire the best military machine?
Because Italians are good at war
>Why was Napoleon one of the greatest leaders?
Because Italians are good at war
>>1034870
Do you then consider Napoleon's Empire a rebirth of the Roman Empire of old?
>>1034882
Nah

General books thread.
I have a question for /his/torians. I have a few months of downtime coming up, and so I have decided to educate myself on philosophy and abrahamic theology. I haven't read all that much on either so I am looking for some good books to read.
I am basically going to order a bunch of books and read and take notes on them to gain a decent understanding of the books. What I have down is the following:
- King James Bible
- Qu'ran
- Oxford's World Classics JS Mill
- Oxford's World Classics Thomas Paine
(The above two are collections of their essays)
- Atlas Shrugged
- Das Kapital
I have 6 so far, and I want 10 decent books to give me a decent grounding. Which ones would you add or remove?
>>1034550
>- Atlas Shrugged
>>1034550
>Das Kapital

don't get atlas shrugged

Is morality an artificial construct or does it exist?
>>1034506
morality is a tool to make sure people obey laws and societal function. morality stems from laws, so it is dependent on them. early morality was based in religious ideas because laws could not be enforced to a high degree often. modern religion is the result of modernization of early religious ideas, and religious morality is based on modern religion nowadays.
>>1034520
What is your source for that?
Any good documentaries about freemasonry out there that aren't /x/-tier? I'm interested about learning about freemasonry from a neutral, non-conspiracist point of view.
I can't say I ever saw a documentary about Freemasonry that didn't involve a heavy conspiracy lean, but if you are interested, the founding text of modern Freemasons is in this link

It pretty much outlines what is considered the mythic history, as well as certain ritual and behaviors.
You could literally just go to your local lodge and talk to one of the authorities there. You're not going to get brainwashed or made to swear blood oaths over a dead goat, and the guys are more than happy to clear up misunderstandings.
>>1034590
They're also required to lie about certain practices.
Not saying they're worthless as sources of information.
There's some stuff that' just fishy about it. It isn't a religion, but you have to acknowledge the existence of a Supreme Being to be in it, for one.
If god is benevolent, then why did he create women?
If you think women are evil, you have failed to understand them
Women are not evil, they are pure. Pure in their love, pure in their hate, pure in every emotion and reaction to the point where men's understanding breaks down.
If you think women are evil it is because you fail to see what she is reacting against. If you rejoice in a woman's love, it is because you also do not see what she is reacting against, because if you did, you would not rejoice.

Also maybe his gf just dumped him.
You don't like having sex or something?
Not to mention God spared men the agony of giving birth.
Are there any good stories about Odin walking on earth and conversing with travellers or passers by?
Just curious, wondering if there are. I know it is said in the mythology that sometimes he would roam around as an old man.
Jung thought that Hitler was the resurrected Odin-figure that slumbered in the German mind for centuries.
In medieval Germany Odin was supposed to be the Devil, people were afraid of running into a wandering Satan at night because of the Odin-lore that got grafted onto non-Christian objects of worship.
>>1034189
the character of Pai Mei in Kill Bill part 2 is an eastern version of Odin
I don't know a lot about norse mythology sorry
>>1034189
Plenty.
Two I can name offhand was the time He and his wife kidnapped two princes from a shipwreck to teach them how to be badass and the resulting adventures of Odin as VEGTAM THE WANDERER and that one time he was Bolverker.
Educate me on mormonism /his/. From what little I know of their history and beliefs they seem pretty cool.
First off, how the hell did Joesph Smith gain a following [spoiler]dum dum dum dum dum[/spoiler]
>>1034084
He was very charismatic and told people what they wanted to hear, a story where ancient American natives received revelation directly, Eden is in Missouri, and white people are the good guys. An all-American prophet.
Less than 15 mins on the origins of Mormonism, which conceivably can answer you a bit better first question:

Does existence necessitate a first cause?
>>1033623
Go to bed, Aquinas.
>>1033654

Define existence
