I like shows where some beta boy dies in an absurd way and his rival gets the girl. Marco Polo, Rome

It reminds me that all human drama is ultimately about the cuck/bull dynamic.

Why don't we dress this way anymore? Its a beautiful way to appear, and people could afford to do so. Panners and such wouldnt need whalebone because we have substitutions, and precious gems could be fakes. Just imagine going to the grocery store or pa5ing taxes dressed like this!

Its because they were in a poorer country with a shitty economic system and an infertile, overly inbred king whose death caused the war of the Spanish Succession.

Did the atomic bombings prevent many extra casualties in Japan because they avoided a ground war in mainland Japan, or is this just a myth? Some argue the Japanese government was about to surrender anyway.

Japanese government minutes show that the shocking pace of the Soviet invasion of manchuria swung the government, and that the atomic bombardment was considered less important than the fire bombing of Tokyo.

Not that the Yank policy makers knew this.

This is actually really interesting.

Did you know Medieval/Renaissance Alchemy derived from Islam, who kept Hellenistic Alchemy alive after the burning of Alexandria?

It returned to Europe through Spain, which belonged to the Muslims back then.

Also, it was the Renaissance that really enhanced the Hermitic side of Alchemy and made it more esoteric than scientific, because they were trying to make it fit with the views of the Church.

But it was in fact Islamic Alchemy that created the Scientific Method.

>tfw Religion ruined Alchemy

Greek/Islamic Alchemy is the best Alchemy. Leave it to Christians to soil it with their spiritual woo-woo crap.

Alchemy was never about science. The whole transformation and turning things into gold was just to show the principle of a bad person turning into a noble person.

It's all about symbols.

Could any part of European history after the fall of the Roman Empire and before the First World War be made into an epic even half as interesting as the Romance of the Three Kingdoms ?

Even stuff like the thirty and hundred years wars seem a bit tame in comparison.

I prefer more familiar European territory. Thirty Years War and Revolutionary/Napoleonic Wars would be enough for me. And some smaller stories too.

This, OP.

But from late medieval till early modern era is filled with big wars and plots.

Catholic love of reason might have been what lead to its excessively high regard in the West, and thus the very undoing of religious hegemony, unfortunately.
