He completely fucked everything up, neglected foreign diplomacy, allowed the empire to crumble, and undermined the 18th dynasty (which ended soon after him).

But I fucking love him anyway. He has to be the single most interesting person from the Bronze Age, and the Amarna period's art is top-notch shit.

I think its incredibly naive to think that there arent civilisations that we have lost completely.

Evola believed that a race of "Nordic" people, anciently emanating from Golden Age Arctic Hyperborea, originally semi-immaterial and "soft-boned", had played a crucial founding role in Atlantis and the high cultures both of the East and West. In Evola's eyes, half-remembered, cryptic memories of a "more-than-human race" once existing in a "northern paradise" constitute the patrimony of the traditions of many diverse peoples. In this occult belief, Evola was additionally influenced by Arctic Home in the Vedas by Bal Gangadhar Tilak, which posited the polar North as the original home of the white Ur-Aryan tribes before their later separation into Western (Hellenic, Roman, Celtic, Germanic) and Eastern (Iranian, Indo-Aryan) divisions.

How about a single shred of evidence for that? Like, one artefact. We have millions of artefacts of Egyptian or Mesopotamian civilisations, but not a single one of any civilisation that supposedly came before.

Easy.
Why?
Remember that the Brits had to make the Chinese adicct to opium to have something to trade other than silver.

That was much later, though. I'm talking about the 15th/16th century when European control of the Americas was barely being consolidated and parts of the place were still un-mapped and unexplored.

>Ottomans declined due to lack of turkey

>How do you interpret mystical experiences?

Culturally. Someone with a Christian upbringing will probably have a vision of Mary/Jesus rather than rather than Bhaktic devotion of Vishnu's presence.

>Can it be a source of trans-empirical knowledge?

I personally don't believe so because the nature of these experiences are always highly subjective and almost always tied to that certain religious cultural background in which one has lived.

Many magical fraternities on the other hand and various Masonic societies do believe in "Secret Chiefs" and claim that they have formulated a link with these. Of course, these claims are highly dubious, but you might find this article interesting.

Imaginative human brain, altered states, perceptions of senses.

> Can it be a source of trans-empirical knowledge?
It can be a creative inspiration but I don't think there is any truth to it, how could there be?
It's intellectual quicksand in a fog bank.

I blame the s*rbs

It's a more pure national socialism than implemented by the Nazis, mainly because the Nazis implemented the Jew-exterminating part.

Fascism is an ideology of absolute etatism, formed around cult of a leader and aggresive youth activism. Ofcourse, because they grow in era when nation state become the norm, they borrow alot from nationalism but reject nationalist egalitarian view that everyone in the nation is equal. The Leader is pinnacle of man, the aggression of party member is an ideal emanating from Him.

Depends on the type of slavery.

Who won the war?

>>866037
Stalin gained power from being a secretary. Hitler gained power from being a demagogue.

Stalin, he had to be to win the war
