Coptic didn't exist until millenia after the pyramids and the sphinx were built, it's the latest evolution of the ancient Egyptian language.

The people you are referring to would be termed Egyptians, as opposed to Arabs.

>Implying the Sphinx doesn't predate them

You just got an F in Gypshunology.

Because "Celts" do not exist, they are mostyl a 19th century invention. Each of the individual tribal groups that we now consider to be Celtic thought of themselves as completely distinct, as a result their culture has evaporated in basically all of Europe apart from the Celtic nations.

"English" people today are almost completely identical to the people of Wales, Scotland and Ireland.

>What is La Tene culture
>What is Hallstatt culture

>>308468
They didn't self identify as Celt, nor were they a unified culture or race. La Tene was dozens of tribes fighting each other.

The government/central body or whatever would set a general tax rate for a region. Then compeeting tax collectors (think of them almost as private enterprises) would bid on how MUCH tax they could get out of that region. The state went with the collector that thought it could collect the most tax.

After that, the tax collector would try to squeeze even more taxes out of the assigned region and keep all the surplus for himself as profit.

>>307666
When and where in the past?

Medieval taxation system is a mess because medieval society had a bunch of separate institutions that would takes taxes: the local liege, the kingdom, the church, the corporations, and so on. And of course it's different by country.

Still, the main idea is that only local taxes were permanent, while the king levied (is that the word? not english, sorry) a tax only occasionally, to pay for a war or a new castle or something like that. In fact, it was a way for the crown to repay a debt: the creditor would receive from the king the right to levy a tax for the amount he was owed, and he had to do it himself.
Whether he managed to get the full sum or not, the loan was considered repaid.

>>307565
I doubt he really cared about the consequences of his actions. His history is filled with a miss-guided sense of pride and he had a massive inferiority complex. He was rejected from joining the military because the major found him too small and weak.

Proud that he's unleashed the forces that will liberate his nation and his fellow Slavs from the Habsburg yoke

>>307565
Princip was received as a hero by his fellow Slavic nationalists.

He'd be proud as fuck.

This is why Plato hated democracy btw

Muh faith alone and all that bullshit.

Were Dutch colonies better than the French or Spanish ones? Seems to me it's just a British thing.

>>307486
Because 95% of all the "Protestant" colonies you are referring to happen to be originally British and got all the pleasant habitable lanlater ds (America, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa)

The Netherlands only had Indonesia

Freedom or death desu, fuck every royal pest and their parasite children

I think the Larne gun-running was a dangerous precedent. It introduced the gun to Irish politics and it was used to circumvent democracy because a bunch of Orangemen were paranoid of having devolution.

I know quite a bit of English who are indifferent to Northern Ireland and think Orangemen cause too much trouble than they're worth.

Northern Ireland is a mess. Maybe after this generation dies off in 50 years, the younger ones will try to put the past behind them and look to the future.

Will I see a unified Ireland? Not in my lifetime. It's gonna take a fuckton of investment and infrastructure to deal with that mess. I don't have a drop of Irish or Scottish blood in me, but it's disgusting that Western Europe has that kind of filth infesting.

Bumping you comrade

>>307428
What is he even doing?

>>306748
I don't know much about him, I know he was loved and that he's kinda trending with anti-euro, 'sovranists' european confusionists.
look like a cool dude though

>>306808
I wouldn't say that his whole government could be used as an example of anti-western governments done right, as he was killed in a coup and frequently tortured political opponents, but it 's still damn interesting to take into consideration that he was able to create a food surplus and basically revitalized the economy of Burkina Faso while declining foreign aid. But as is probably inherent to dictatorships; he lost control.

>>306748
He's known as Africa's Che.

Obviously I'm not fond of how he suppressed voting and trade unions, but I guess he's worthy of respect in how he tried to bring Burkina Faso out of feudalism and poverty while taking a stance against the French colonialists - who were probably behind his death.

Watch the caspian report's videos about it

Sunni= believe that the faith should not worship a single bloodline descendant of Mohammed. major regions are Iraq and historically all Muslim areas west of Iraq. do not pray directly to mecca, although do face mecca when praying.

Shiite= worship bloodline of Mohammed. area of Iran to pakistan (although Afghanistan is a distinct mess). pray directly to mecca. Surprisingly legitimately more tolerant of other religions provided Jizya is paid. This is the sect that actually allows lying for the sake of advancing the faith.

Mughal= Muslims in India and Pakistan. when people speak of Muslims being tolerant, these guys used to be their proof. they literally altered the teachings of mohammed in order to maintain peace in their region. region lasted from initial conquering to british control of India. look into Indian/Pakistan politics for modern issues and cultures.

Wahabists= hard line fundamentalists prevalent near Saharan desert and regions of Pakistan. These guys are the primary source of the worst examples of muslims outside of the terrorists cells. they also tend to have a lot of political power in their regions. the full body coverings, the moral police, the ridiculous and stupid ways that women are treated; the worst of it comes from them.

ISIS= went well outside the teachings of Islam since their very creation. for an idea of just how bad they are, watch the news or their propaganda videos. by their own holy texts they would be heretics. Noticeably no person in the Muslim world is consistently denouncing them without being pressured to, and even that is carefully worded.

What could it be? Some kind of promotional product? For what brand?
Maybe it contained a bottle of ancient Norse mead that gave Vikings strength and courage in battle?

no. They originate from Ismaili heretics that were devoted to the Mad Caliph Al-Hakim. Now they like to pretend that they are a legitimate faith separate from Islam but in reality function like a closed ethnic community.

>>306479
Maybe, but they're going extinct quickly, just like all other religious minorities in the middle east.

As far as I know they are doing okay for themselves as many are in Lebanon and a fair number are keked in Israel
