So did black people enslave the Jews and force them to build the Pyramids? Is there truth in any of this? At all?

No to both. The Pharoahs who built the pyramids were not black, and the Jews were never slaves in Egypt.

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/history/10336126/Nazis-offered-to-leave-western-Europe-in-exchange-for-free-hand-to-attack-USSR.html
>Peter Padfield, an historian, has uncovered evidence he says shows that, Hess, the deputy Fuhrer, brought with him from Hitler, a detailed peace treaty, under which the Nazis would withdraw from western Europe, in exchange for British neutrality over the imminent attack on Russia.
(More details in the article.)
What do you think of this?
Also, friendly reminder that it already has been uncovered by Karlheinz Pintsch in 2010 that Hitler did indeed know about Hess flight.
From Karlheinz Pintsch Wikipedia Page:
>A 28-page notebook written by Pintsch in captivity in 1948 was discovered in a Moscow archive in 2010 by historians. It suggested that Hitler was in on the mission by Hess and interrogation transcripts found in the same archive record his recollection that when Hitler had read Hess's letter he remarked calmly: "At this particular moment in the war that could be a most hazardous escapade".

3rd Reich didn't keep ANY promises they've given. Why would anybody believe them about it?
>>
>>785108
What other promises other than the Ribbentropp agreement did the 3rd reich break?
And if Germany conquered all Russia then I doubt there would be a need to attack any country at all anymore. Hitler did not plan war with anyone but Poland (and the ussr which happened 1 1/2 months AFTER Hess flight to Britain though) and Britain knew that since Hitler wrote several peace plans.

There are two major religions in Japan. One of them are “Shinto”,which is traditional Japanese religion. The other is Buddhism. Almost all Japanese belong to both Shinto and Buddhism “statistically”. However, the majority of Japanese people does not recognize a sense of belonging to religions,and they also consider themselves to have ‘No religion’. Although we respect many religious ideas and rituals,they think these are mere culture. But the thing that it does not really matter in Japanese society is also true.
Japanese belong to.
Most Japanese answer “Almost all Japanese have no religion.”
Of course there are a few people who have no religion. But I doubt the answer as an explanation of Japanese religion.
When I’m asked about Japanese religion,I answer as follows.
There are two major religions in Japan. One of them is “Shinto”,which is traditional Japanese religion. The other is Buddhism. Almost all Japanese belong to both Shinto and Buddhism “statistically”. However, the majority of Japanese people does not recognize a sense of belonging to religions,and they also consider themselves to have ‘No religion’. Although we respect many religious ideas and rituals,they think these are mere culture. But it does not really matter in Japanese society is also true.
According to religious statistical survey(2012) by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, the number of adherents of each religions is as follows
Shinto : 100,770,882 (approx.100 million)
Buddhists : 84,708,309 (approx.80 million)
Christian : 1,920,892 (approx.2 million)
The others : 9,490,446 (approx.10 million)
The sum of all these totals is196,890,529,approximately 200 million.
It means the number is more than 120 million of total Japanese population.
This is the reason why “statistically” almost all Japanese belong to both Shinto and Buddhism.

Not only the thing that Japanese does not recognise their religion, but also they belong to 2 religions simultaneously are quite surprised.
Why??
Note:The following description includes personal opinions.
We(Japanese) more often respect many religious ideas and rituals than we realise. For example,most of the funeral ceremonies in Japan are observed as Buddhist ritual. We visit a shrine or a temple on new year’s day.
We rely on the deities when we are in trouble. Moreover, if a person who had got away with doing bad meets with a misfortune,we say it is curses. It’s exactly religious idea.
Japanese people do not have a strong sense of religion as a whole is also true.
However,even if Japanese has no religion,they should not be called atheists because many kinds of religious ideas and rituals have taken root in Japan as mentioned above.
To begin with,Shinto is polytheism. Shinto preaches that there are Yaoyorozu deities.
Yaoyorozu(八百万) means 8 million literally, and is also a metaphor of “countless”.
Therefore Shinto could tolerate many “gods”.
In this sense,we might be able to say that Japanese are devout adherents of Shinto in such society that customers can be god.
(‘The customer is always right’ is well-known slogan in Japanese service industry.)

Spirituality is a lie.

Japanese religion is an interesting concept, my mother is Okinawan and I have a mainland Japanese sister-in-law and neither of them would say that they belong to any official religion. However, they and their families follow many traditions and practices that clearly come from Shinto and Buddhist beliefs. The conclusion we came to was just that Japanese people have a tendency to assimilate from others in just about everything. It's just a weird cultural thing that's really hard to explain to westerners, part of why I never understood people who cry about cultural appropriation.

What's up with the haphazard tactics in The Iliad where heroes just wander around aimlessly? This compared to the Aeneid's autismus maximus regarding formations and troop movements.

Heroes were schizopathic and prone to physicoemotional outbursts, soldiers in the Aeneid were a reflection of soldiers of Virgil's own time, which were less schizopathic and more autistic (physicoemotionally milder and more mental or intellectual).

Why were the Protestants so crazy about burning witches, compared with Catholics who somewhat more restrained, and the Orthodox who didn't do it at all?

Witch burnings are just a meme, like the Spanish Inquisition being psychos who would randomly abduct people just to torture them.
>>
>>782172
Most orthodoxs were under ottoman rule in those times so I think that could be a reason why they didn't do it that much.
>>
Catholics didn't either
You were actually more like to get in trouble than the accused "witch"
The Inquisition was partially about rooting out superstition (belief in witchcraft implied paganism)
Anyone claiming to be a witch was punished the same way any liar would be: whipping or a fine
