x-post from /k/

So what was the purpose of couched lances, exactly? It's like carrying a small tree under your arm, attached to the plate armor. I am getting the impression their purpose was not to pierce, but rather to break bones and formations.

To ride very fast, and hit something or someone with the pointy end...

Also to knock people off their horse. Aside from the injuries caused by the fall, it leaves them vulnerable and unable to rejoin their unit when it charges through or breaks off.

What was "degenerate" art? When the creator's ethnic group was obviously non-German it's self-explanatory, but what about the ethnic Germans whose art and music were banned? And why was Arno Breker in particular considered to be the opposite of it?

>What is the black stone comprised of

there has never been any studies of it because it would require intentionally chipping off pieces of it and that would be considered sacrilege

>what does it signify

There's no single tradition on what it is supposed to be. The most common tradition though is that it dates back to the time of Adam, who included it in his first temple to God, which is believed to have been at the spot the Kaaba now stands. Other traditions say it used to be white but became darkened by the sins of man and other traditions say it fell from heaven. Others say Adam just found it and dedicated it to God.

>and what is inside the kaaba

You can literally go on youtube and see. It's not really a big secret.

>In 1674, according to Johann Ludwig Burckhardt, someone smeared the Black Stone with excrement so that "every one who kissed it retired with a sullied beard". The Shi'ite Persians were suspected of being responsible and were the target of curses from other Muslims for centuries afterwards, though explorer Sir Richard Francis Burton doubted that they were the culprits; he attributed the act to "some Jew or Greek, who risked his life to gratify a furious bigotry.

Literally smeared with shit

Give the Confederates these .45 Ranch Hand guns as their primary weapons with the same amount of ammunition they would have had during the war but it's .45 cal. Do these dinky guns change the outcome of the war. No modifying the guns in any way or creating better versions of it.

If bronze manufacture is more complex than iron manufacture, how come the "bronze age" happened before the "iron age"?
46 posts and 3 images submitted.

>>837028
Because iron is more difficult to smelt due to its higher melting point and large degree of impurities. Also, shit rusts.

because it's not. true, you need more ingredients, but all you have to with them is to put them on fireplace and wait.

Monarchism has little to do with the national aspect. The nation and tribe had no prevalence here other than all of that was owned by a Dane.
