Only in Christian meme theology, obviously the real Jesus didn't want to be crucified.

>19 Jesus answered them, “Destroy this temple, and I will raise it again in three days.”

>20 They replied, “It has taken forty-six years to build this temple, and you are going to raise it in three days?” 21 But the temple he had spoken of was his body. 22 After he was raised from the dead, his disciples recalled what he had said. Then they believed the scripture and the words that Jesus had spoken.

Seems a legit explanation, honest! It turned out Jesus wasn't talking about the actual temple he was talking about his body, he wanted to be killed!!!

Permanent cause of butthurt to commies. The success of Finland, a former part of the Russian Empire, undermines the whole narrative about the Bolsheviks "lifting" Russia from a Dark Ages it wouldn't have left otherwise.

Historically speaking, why was corruption and moral decay such a difficult issue to combat?
39 posts and 2 images submitted.
>>
What do you mean by moral decay?
>>
because corruption spreads and its upto blind luck if your prefered candidate could do the job
the more you have those, the bigger chance nothing gets done, eventually reaching a point when the state becomes disfunctional

moral decay im not entirely sure about, i mean raping and pillaging is morally wrong, but it fuelled empires for a long time

Have you ever read about the last days of the Roman empire?

So /his/, how accurate and reliable is the story Our Lady of Fatima?

For those who don't know the story:

>Told to pray there for some months
>Eventually the apparition causes the sun to dance in front of 30,000-100,000 people

About Medieval period games:

Were weapons-based meme divisions a real thing? I mean beyond archers/infantry/cavalry. I mean in medieval II total war has divisions like "spearmen," who all have spears, and then "halberdiers" who all had halberds, then "swordsmen" like sword bearing infantry, and "macemen" or some shit.

Pikemen, archers, and crossbowmen were a thing I know, but what about the rest.

Lets limit this shit to 900's-1400's.

Do you really need to ask this fucking question?
>>
>>804894
Medieval 2 isn't very reflective of actual history the Normans in England don't even have access to Norman knights. Most of the one weapon only units comes from the problem of who wins in rock paper scissors and how to implement that using shit computers. Total War sacrifices historical accuracy for game play and balance that's why the HRE is such shit there is a limit to what they could do. I hope to see as computers improve bigger and better games I really want Agincourt with historical numbers and units

If we're talking about non-noble soldiers then a lord would generally supply their own retinue's arms and armor and then march off to convene with the rest of the army by a certain time frame. This resulted in low standardization across the entire army as a whole but across the lord's retinue you may have something like, say, 20 archers, 30 spear men, 10 men at arms etc all equipped in a varied and good fashion; so a reasonably standardized mix of 'sub-units' among the lord's retinue.

These small sub units were usually cobbled together into larger regiments under the command of a captain. This resulted in these regiments having differences in training and tactics but reasonably similar arms and armor at least.

Knight's retinue's were different, however, as each knight or man-at-arms was generally accompanied by several non-knight warriors to support him. Knights were generally armed as best they could afford and varied considerably based on their wealth.

TLDR: The medieval world was a quartermaster's nightmare and standardization was shit tier.

>>804387
I am tired of hearing people say this.

That is exactly what Germany TRIED to do.

They couldn't extend deep into Russia because it was a logistical nightmare. They couldn't get enough fuel and ammunition and personal supplies to continue the blitzkrieg. They would have to attack, wait for resupply, attack, wait for resupply, etc. The majority of Russian land is wilderness hardly worth capturing, and the Soviets destroyed everything worth taking as they retreated. The Russian rails were too wide for German trains and had to be rebuilt, and as they were marching to Moscow, they noticed that they had a huge weak point in their line that needed to be covered.

Was Alfred really that great of a king? Did he deserve his title?
35 posts and 7 images submitted.
>>
He defeated the Vikings and started the unification of England, not too shabby.
>>
Alfred’s lack of a saintly epithet, a disadvantage in the Middle Ages, was the salvation of his reputation in a post-Reformation world. As a pious king with an interest in promoting the use of English, Alfred was an ideal figurehead for the emerging English Protestant church. The works he had commissioned or translated were interpreted as evidence for the pure Anglo-Saxon church, before it had become tainted by the false Romanism introduced by the Normans.

How old is the concept of what we today call "race"?

Was race an important issue to ancient civilizations like Egypt or Rome? If it was not important, when did it become so important? Has it been a gradual build or has the idea gone in and out of use?

No pol shit please.
