It's hard to imagine such a place actually existing. It seems fictional.

Their form of currency was IRON INGOTS

let that sink in for a moment, you want to make commercial transactions? Here let me pull out this IRON INGOT to purchase some bread

The public was cool with being a warrior state I guess.

Muslims killed or converted 99% of them, like they do with all religions in their path

Zoroastrianism was associated with the Sassanids. When they faltered and collapsed, Zoroastrianism declined with them. The Sunni faith was vibrant, new, and supported by a growing empire so it had a definite upper hand in terms of being able to spread.

>Zoroastrianism was associated with the Sassanids
That's wrong, pre-Sassanid Persia was Zoroastrian as well

Were they Turkic? I mean they were a semi nomadic empire right? Or am I being stupid?

Ashkenazi* Jewry

>>490350
Not the bulk of their population at least, because as you said, they were Nomads. They didn't genocide the Caucasians that were previously living there.

>>490115
>Why did they adopt a calendar that is based on religion they do not practice
Because everyone else followed it.

>>490115
The imperial calender.

Which was also confusing and shitty.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_calendar

Japan still uses their own calendar for a lot of things.

Their year starts in the spring. Years are the Emperor's name and how many years he has been ruling.

non-substitutability of different descriptions of the object

I can blame Islam for never producing anything of worth, and I can say that its evil culture needs to be replaced with Western Modernity.

>Just as much as you can't blame all crusaders for Venetians ransacking Constantinople.
Dude, go read Nicetas Choniates, the venetians were the least damaging party in the 4th crusade. It's the fucking franks who totally nigged out.

>I mean at least ISIS kills sandniggers - vikings were doing this to fellow white men
>fellow white men

they weren't white, too much mongol heritage. you can see it in their actions and lack of high culture. having blonde hair and blue eyes doesn't make you white.

>>489628
my heritage is also from the Orkney Islands, Scotland. A region that was entirely settled by vikings exclusively . There's no doubt that I have blood from men who kidnapped, raped, pillaged, and murdered

Deep questions will never be answered though

>>489518
If you knew the thing about philosophy you would know that those questions cannot be universally answered. You can only answer them for yourself.
Nothing will happen to you if you do

>>489528
I think if the deep questions can't be answered or not doesn't really matter. What seems to matter is what we'd if we imagine for a second we could and then presume we did. What would we do with it?

There would not be Lombardic Italy to begin with.

And you should take in account that would not only change Italy, but the whole Europe, do they keep a strong state?
Then they wouldnt be the easy prey for the Franks liek the Lombards were.
Do they keep close relations with teh Visigoths?
A strong Gothic Alliance could have emerged.

Probably not because the rise of things like the Papal States led to the fragmentation of Italy and with the rise of Papal States people were like fuck this shit I'm out.

Roman Empire 2.0

How do you know it won't enlarge in the future?

>>489466
Well considering how those regions were all owned by Europe at one point and still retained their own unique cultures and languages, no, European culture has spread as far as it ever will. However, Europe will continue to influence non European nations in ways that allow non European countries to retain their traditions.

>Implying there isn't a continuity between Europe and Asia
>Falling for imperialist memes this hard

I always forgot people thousands of years ago were people too, it's interesting to see these traits that all cultures seem to share because of our innate humanity. I love these sort of things, does anyone have similar stuff?

You seem like a retard.

T. Socrate´s wife.

Yea I've read this dialogue and it was not hysterics. Her fucking husband was hours away from being executed and she was crying and experiencing emotions, which they viewed as a womanly thing. Later when the men present tear up, Socrates basically told them they were acting like women and this is why I sent away the others.

Fairly sure Germany doesn't stand a chance against China.

Smiling Kesselring did nothing wrong. Hanging partisans was not a crime until after WW2, Italifag

>>488879
Wait hanging terrorists is a crime after ww2?

>>488885
How can partisans qualify as terrorists? They strike military, not civilians-
