There's no reason hunter-gatherers would be incapable of building monumental structures its that they have less reason to aggregate in one area than agriculturalists although sites such as starr carr saw seasonal occupation and hence more developed structures.

Could one group have started it as a shrine, another group finds it and adopts it as such, and instead of fighting over it they both agree to use it in cooperation, and the whole thing snowballs from there?

Basically the last remnant left of Alexanders dream of a united Persian-Greek empire.

hurr durr

It is and isn't a laughing stock depending on the university you are in, even down to the department.

Also
>implying the historical context of a philosophy isn't incredibly important.

Why is more important than when and what.

They thought that by writing gibberish, they would appear smart. Eventually, people started parsing their texts... To find out it had no meaning.

Find me one example of a continental text that is "nonesense".
And I will show you how you have completely failed to understand it.

>>307882
they were only considered alans in the mid ages and sarmatians in the ancient times when they started to heavily mix with the slavs

What do you think happened to them eventually?

>>307897

How is this even a thing? Do you live in Saudi Arabia?

Do they not teach you religious studies in whatever country you're from? That seems like a pretty big gap in your education.

I used to be a commie living in a fantasy world, but I gradually became a nationalist with some libertarian views.

In theory you're right, as Anglo law is based on precedents and you can't just pull stuff out of your ass. In practice it's all politics.

They have a whole lot of power yes.

Pretty much every indo-iranian tribe living in the steppes of CA and the Caucasus. But mostly wondering what happened to the Scythians.

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

Considering Herodotus described them to all have red hair and blue/green eyes unlike the other nomads of turkic origin.

>>306893
Most likely they just assimilated into the more successful Sarmatians, who also ended up disappearing

>>306893
The Scythians probably never existed as a distinct culture. Herodotus basically just used the term to describe everyone central Asian group of people, and even made distinctions about different types of them.

I had a Western education therefore I know nothing of China aside from Europe selling China opium and the Boxer Rebellion.

On January 11, 1851,his 38 birthday, Hong Xiuquan formally declared the establishment of the Heavenly Kingdom of Peace (Taiping Tianguo) with himself as absolute ruler, at Jintian village in Guangxi. He ordained that he be called sovereign (chu) and reserved the title shang for God and Jesus.The rebellion was proclaimed to be a native uprising against the Manchu oppressors with a heavenly mandate.

Taiping's goal was not only to overthrow the ruling Manchu, but to modernize. The humiliating defeat China saw at the hand of the Western powers could not stand.

The Opium wars is one of the leading reasons for the Taiping uprising. After the western powers rekt China, their whole world viewed collapsed, considering China had successfully dealt with them before. So of course, the population blamed the Manchu rulers.

"Daoism" is an artificial category when referred to as a kind of Western-style religion. Daoist mystics existed but the tradition had a major influence on East Asian literature, philosophy, and culture in general that wasn't confined to what we would call 'devotional' or 'religious' phenomena. Daoism as a set of rituals is really just a slight formalization of the Chinese folk religion synthesized with a dank philosophy.

I've never understood why Taoism was never a "thing", only in modern times (in the West, I mean) - it's healthy, it's kinda neutral and anyone can practice it.

I think the answer is in passivity.
And it's too peaceful; history is full of wars and conquests - there is no profit in peace...

Daoism was something the lower class could get into. To be a proper Confucian scholar you needed wealth and prestige sufficient to attract a suitable tutor. Even Kong Zi himself was considered too poor to study, until he got a lucky break.
