This, which has a lot of parallels with Germanic mythology.

IIRC They managed to make the Silk Road safer and cheaper to travel, though most people would probably choose to suffer multiple tolls and the possibility of bandits over a Mongol invasion

The mongol occupation had a nice influence on persian miniatures that gave it it's characteristic "chinese" look.

Though they also rekt'd the country to the ground killing countless innocents and caused Timur, who did the same again, to exist. So yeah, it wasn't worth it.

They reopened the Silk Road.

They brought over technologies from China to Arab/Europe. Printing press is a direct result of such.

They also gave Europe the notice on the "outside" world like China again, thus fueling their exploration age.

I love the little St. Margaret topping the bedpost, and the oranges scattered across the windowsill and table. This painting is absolutely packed with details despite how small it is. The texture of the ermine robe and each individual hair on the dog always astound me. Jan van Eyck is probably my favourite painter of all time. It's no wonder he's mistakenly credited with inventing oil paint.

Has anyone read the Panofsky analysis of this painting? It's absolutely insane.

i like it

especially ghosts of the ostfront, wrath of the khans, and blueprint for armageddon

Read a book faggots

Is Dan Carlin really vastly more popular than all other radio and digital only podcasts, or is there some concerted shilling going on?

Nearly all the threads have had the Hardcore History image as the OP

hold it

dialetics under hegel? Under marx? Okay, that's silly I can agree. But dialectics as a philosophic concept or tool? wrong, it's perfectly valid and unavoidable in all forms of logical thinking

the universe is a giant dialectic, don'tcha know

>I'm 1/16 Cherokee so I await your apology.


So you're white like the rest of us, since I happen to 1/16 cherokee as well.

Also CC didn't even make it to mainland North America, nor was he the first European to the new world.

So im not entirely sure why the holiday is celebrated, or why he's blamed for certain genocides he did not do.

You mean the same way African-Americans await an apology from the Cherokee for the slavery they practiced, for their alliance with the Confederacy during the Civil War, and for adding insult to injury by removing from membership the Freedmen ancestors they had adopted in via treaty?

Well, they are a group of peoples speaking a group of Iranian languages who live primarily in Turkey, Syria, Iraq and Iran, and who aren't welcome in any of those states.
Hence, they want to have a state for themselves in that area, which the surrounding states won't allow because muh territorial superiority.
They especially don't get along well with Turks, not even in Germany.

>migrate out of Iran into the future Arab world
>displace Assyrians from their homelands, inhabit them as their own
>work in service of various empires
>fellow nomadic group enters area and dominates politics :D:D
>work in service of this group for a long time
few hundred years later
>nomadic group has been a state for awhile (Turkey)
>Turkey hires Kurds to harass and eliminate Armenians as punishment for Armenian support of Russian invaders
>Kurds do it (absolute madman)
A few decades after the Armenian Genocide:
>Kurds get buttmad that they aren't successful as Arabs or Turks
>"better start some wars!!!111! :D
>Kurds get their shit rekt
>Saddam Hussein invades Kuwait, angering his former masters in Washington
>Kurds allow US to stage invasion of Iraq from their land
And that's how Kurds went from nomadic mercenaries that stole Assyrian land and partly conducted the Armenian Genocide, to an oppressed people that need your political support or else they'll be holocausted by ISIS (even though they have plenty of weapons and are completely free to work with the SAA and Iraqi Army against ISIS)

Wait, if Byzantine was Roman, were the successor states the Roman Empire too?

>>303048
They all claimd to be the legitimate Roman Empire, the names on the map, like Byzantium, are names we made up for them later.

What's more surprising is that mesoamerica, the andine area and even central america (the less developed of the three) had metalworking. And a pretty nice one, actually.

But they just used it to make jewelry and ornaments of gold, silver, copper. I think that the andines actually even had bronze. Yet they all used stone weapons.

Is there a lot of tin in the Americas?

The Hopewell and the Adena cultures were fine craftsmen of ores and metals before they faded into history. It was probably a very niche profession within those societies until they collapsed. Knowledge of how to gather, obtain, and create metals may have been lost during the collapse of those cultures.
