If you think this is an easy thing to find out, you're dead wrong. I'm a historian, and generally a question like this requires:
-extensive documentation from your grandfather, his training/deployment/service info
-research in the files of the A-H Empire (located in Vienna)
The files in Vienna aren't digitized, so if you don't find your answer on the documents from your grandfather, and you're not willing to go to Vienna, you're fucked.

Germans had an obsession with the Sioux Native Tribe. They even went as far as claiming they were Aryans.
>>
>>3208226
Because they were mostly drawn by autists who never saw a native.
>>
>>3208321
They claimed the Sioux were themselves Aryans? I could see how you could call the Sioux similar to the Aryans, with the Sioux's tribal dominance and expansion after acquiring horses, but to say they were descended from them seems to be a stretch. German interest in them makes some sense though since the areas they inhabited were settled almost entirely by Germans/Scandinavians.

Were iron and/or steel shields real in ancient/medieval warfare anywhere? I can find lots of stuff about bronze shields, but nothing about iron or steel, it seems like people adopted wooden shields. Am I mistaken?
Pic only tangentially related.

Irons problem is if someone hits it starts to shake. Plus iron is heavy.
>>
Iron/steel is too heavy to use as a shield of any significant size. It's only relatively recently that it's been possible to make it in single sheets large enough.

Here is Tacitus on Germania
>Their marriage code, however, is strict, and indeed no part of their manners is more praiseworthy. Almost alone among barbarians they are content with one wife, except a very few among them, and these not from sensuality, but because their noble birth procures for them many offers of alliance.
and
>Thus with their virtue protected they live uncorrupted by the allurements of public shows or the stimulant of feastings. Clandestine correspondence is equally unknown to men and women. Very rare for so numerous a population is adultery, the punishment for which is prompt, and in the husband's power. Having cut off the hair of the adulteress and stripped her naked, he expels her from the house in the presence of her kinsfolk, and then flogs her through the whole village. The loss of chastity meets with no indulgence; neither beauty, youth, nor wealth will procure the culprit a husband.
Here is Musonius Rufus, the most eminent Roman philosopher of his era:
>Not the least significant part of the life of luxury and self indulgence lies also in sexual excess; for example those who lead such a life crave a variety of loves not only lawful but unlawful ones as well, not women alone but also men; sometimes they pursue one love and sometimes another, and not being satisfied with those which are available, pursue those which are rare and inaccessible, and invent shameful intimacies, all of which constitute a grave indictment of manhood.
Here is the Greek philosopher Epicurus:
>no one was ever the better for sexual indulgence, and it is well if he be not the worse
And this is not an European only thing. Here is Buddhism:
>Now this, bhikkhus, is the noble truth of the origin of suffering: it is this craving which leads to re-becoming, accompanied by delight and lust, seeking delight here and there; that is, craving for sensual pleasures, craving for becoming, craving for disbecoming.

All people of all time have been against their wifes fucking around.
Doesn't mean they were extreme anti sex people who didn't enjoy fucking around before marriage.
There is a difference..
>>
I'm OP.
Did this happen due to:
(1) Ignorance (people really do believe that only the Abrahamic religions had this position).
(2) As a rhetorical tactic.
>>
>>3207722
All of those argued against sex outside the marriage (or in the case of Epicurus, even sex at all)

Was Conan the Barbarian a Celtiberian or a Gaul?

He was Cimmerian ie. of a Finnic ethnicity
>>
>>3207568
Obviously neither, he is just a barbarian from a fantasy land where there are witches and wizards.
>>
>>3207575
Robert H. Howard initially planned Conan the Barbarian as historical adventure pulp fiction.
He then went "fuck this" towards historical research and so created a world where Classical Celts, Viking-Period Norse, Medieval Germany, France, & Spain, Ancient Egypt, The Caliphates, Steppe Nomad Turkics, Mongols, Zuluss, and Song-Period Chinese exist. Alongside Precursor Civilizations, Eldritch Horrors, and Immortal Master Races.

What do you expect, OP? Protestantism is all about taking the Bible and making up your own
retarded religion around it. All the Protestants on this board accuse the Catholics of "fan-faction" yet
they do shit like this. Dumb hypocrites, they all are.

Socialist architecture has one goal in mind, to demoralize the population to reduce the risk of a revolt.

There probably weren't any and probably in the case of the Medians it was the Mesopotamians who were rayciss and bigoted and got btfo by the Akkadians for not opening theirselves up to diversity.

because capitalists have no arguments against communism other than "it doesn't work xD", not to mention capitalism only appeals to 1% of the country so its kind of hard to appeal to anyone
