Atlantis was made up by Plato to be his example of a perfect society.
It's as real as Narnia.

>>11518

Once the ball starts rolling, about 4-5 thousand years apparently.

But there has to e some incentive to spark civilization to begin with, or else you just end up with static hunter-gatherer tribes like in africa

Religion has been mainly a tool. For example it has worked as a way to calm the masses and give them peace and has been used as a justifaction for conquest. So no, money, power and other "real" values have had the biggest influence on history, religion probably has been one of the best tools in acquiring them along with the gun.

>>11316
Absolutely. It has shifted masses, culture, war and land from one point to another and has always been a part of human civilization. Nothing moves humans like religion.

>>11469
You've got a good point, but there have also been major events caused by ideas present in religion, like, I don't know, the Holocaust?

How exactly is he a hero? Because he made some good music?

Anyway I would say Eugene Debs is underrated even though he is probably the most famous Socialist in US history.

Man, someone should stream Lawrence of Arabia tonight in honor of /his/. It was just put on Netflix. I've seen the movie twice this year, no joke, and am totally willing to watch it a third.

I think Japan was a very poor choice as an ally, basically dragged Germany into a war with the United States, while Japan did fuck all against the USSR.

He did.

He was drugged up on methamphetamines so much Im surprised how he even functioned on a regular basis.

is that a statue of a guy having a chin wank?

>when the ass is fat

African history is awesome. Im a fan of ethiopian history myself.

People who think african societies are backwards and primitive are some of the oddest folk. They do not understand history nor athropology nor sociology nor any of the humanties in general.

but we have had our shit wrecked over and over again and started over
