Uh-oh

Can you stop shilling this piece of shit test already. We've been over this, it's a garbage.

Hmm. Sounds like an interesting topic. I've actually never heard of them, but will probably look them up once I get to school. So, bump

It wasn't really a civilization, they probably lacked a common political power. Culture in this definition means a group of archeological sites with similar features, whetever they were the same ethnicity or power is unknown.

As for the protowriting, thats not unique either, we know about many symbols before proper writing began, such as Chinese Neolithic signs or the Dispillio tablet. If you think about its only natural there were first these highly ideographic signs before actual writing.

Looking at the finds themselves, I think it speaks for itself.

The disk itself is the more interesting one, I find it funny how many people overinterpret it, back in HS my history teacher said to him its just a comic about hunting that tells x number of hunters set out with bows to shoot down y number of game, then they had a big fire and danced around it.

Instead there are quasi fringe ideas about it shoes some mystical whatever with deep connection to cultures at the globes other side.

It's one of the more interesting ancient cultures of the world along with the Natufian.

Not much is known about it and hard to assess the level of civilization. Overall the copper production is probably the most

All history is biased. "Unbiased" history is impossible. The "truth" doesn't exist. Only the documentary record of the past, and what historians have written based on that, exists.

It varies. I've had lecturers who are pretty much proto-fascists, and some who are two inches away from being the next Lenin.

I'm doing a module on European colonisation in Africa right now and I don't know what to tell you. I mean - we all basically agree that the Europeans were pretty bad, but just saying that isn't enough, so it goes into quite a bit of detail and nuance. But if you want some professor that white people diddun do nuffin go read Niall Ferguson or some shit.

but why would a Jew, who are stereotypically viewed as avaricious and power-loving, want socialism? that doesn't make sense.

you're wrong.
1. he doesn't claim it's the same, but he says it's not much better.
2. notice that he uses actual evidence in support of this.

No and No

tripe. not a valuable source of legitimate info. good for mind numbing tabloid sensationalism about nazi occultism and aliens but little more.

>nazi occultism and aliens
Not anymore. Now it's pawn shops and rednecks

The power of God is directly related to the amount of people who believe in him.

It's like the Gods of the warp in 40k.

>>318515
Or like the lady of the lake in Merlin.

Or fairies in neverland.

It's actually kind of true with religion. Look at how much power and influence the Catholic Church used to have. They were literally more powerful because so many people believed

is this like a fetish? arguing about god?

Dong Zhuo literally did nothing wrong.

I guess unified purpose in face of unorganized or distracted (with other conflicts) opponents (or against organized focused opponents, but with less motivation).

>>315015
Only a few opponents offered any real resistance.

A lot of the land was occupied by desert nomads and tribals who were no real threat.

>>315015
Diplomacy and culture that allowed the Arabs to unite the nomadic and semi-nomadic tribes of Mesopotamia, Egypt, and North Africa, something the ERE and Persians had never managed to do without crushing them or else crowning a puppet to handle it. When the Arabs invaded Syria and Iraq they didn't bother marching on the cities like the Romans and Persians would have always done, but instead made treaties with the countryside to join them first before surrounding urban centers and simply waiting for their surrender.

Why are our (England's) philosophers so shit?

A steppe empire is like a gasoline spill and a lit match. It spread quick, and destroys just about everything it touches, but goes out really quickly.

>>339709
Because usually they are fucking rackets.

Steppe Nomads don't build a Khanate using borders and cities like standard kingdoms because there aint none in the Steppes. A Khanate is built upon how many people bend their knee to you and your ability to protect said people. A small diplomatic insult among civilizations is a major scandal among Steppe Nomad tribes, and an insult to their Khan and their Khan's authority, and results to war.

To put it simply: Steppe Nomad States are like Gangsta Protection Schemes. If Tyrone insulted the street cred of Jayvvon Fisher, it touches off in a gang shootout in the hood. That is a Khanate for you.

Also the Nomads are super-prone to resting on their laurels phenomena.

Way to completely invalidate everything you wrote before that.

one of my favorites. Wilson ignoring Uncle Sam bringing victims from the Lusitania ashore.

First, how would we make it safe and legitimate in the same time?

>>338583

It's safe enough already.

I don't understand what you mean by legitimate.

>>338587
Well you mentioned it's scripted so I assumed that's how they made it safe.

How is it already safe? You ride at horse-miles-per hour at your opponent with a joust.
