Just a reminder that this guy did nothing wrong.

Wait so if I'm bad and go to hell after death, what's judgement day for?
I don't believe that doctrine.
I think you die and then are resurrected for judgement day where you then are sent to heaven or hell.
"Very truly I tell you, a time is coming and has now come when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God and those who hear will live."
Where you go in the afterlife is usually but a foretaste one receives after the Judgement. When the Judgement happens one will be brought back to life, all of creation will be brought back to what it was before the Fall and the righteous shall inherit the earth while the wicked are cast into the lake of fire due to their wickedness. If you're a bad dude you ought to feel bad about yourself and all the bad things you did. You only have so much time on this earth so it's best to turn away from all the bad inclinations you have and try to be a better person, going so far as to do the opposite of them and the bad things you did previously. It also helps to believe in God too you know.

LMFAO - no human has ever come back to life... That's right up there with "Jews don't burn if the King puts them in furnaces."

who you got?
history of rome goes from 509 BCE to 1806 so you have to be little more specific
Going to assume we are talking about after the Punic Wars but before Caesar and say Rome wins. Between ability to raise legions and allies to use for cavalry, skirmishers, etc, they probably have the more versatile army.
Would appreciate a good book on Han Chinese military though to get a more complete picture.
How would Han crossbows factor in this?

Why are Americans so damn good at conventional warfare?
The only country that's ever been able to beat us was a literal superpower, when we weren't even a regional power.
>inb4 muh Vietnam
Insurgencies are not conventional

>super power
Spain was bankrupt and crumbling empire
Cuba was on the other side of the world to Spain

I said the only country able to beat us. I was talking about the British. To be fair they never actually beat us. But they managed to take us to a stalemate.

I want people to give me your input on this country, its people and history... and why its so overlooked...

Do frontiers still exist as a cultural or geographical concept?
>>3153106
depends where ... middle wast it was a geographical concept that should have never existed.
same goes with africa.
>>3153106
Alaska is the last frontier
>>3153106
Space bro its the final frontier
Okay for real though, why didn't the Dutch support the rebellion? There is no way they could have expected the situation to turn out as good as it did.
It's all too convenient.

I realise this is a fairly broad question, but were any historical diets more healthy than modern ones? For the sake of the question, let's assume 'modern diet' means a western one (so not necessarily American fast-food or continental European meals, just the preservative-laden sugar heavy ones that are pretty consistent across the west). Would they be less healthy just because of less diverse foods and a lack of regulatory food standards?
Also, would meals from throughout history taste different to what we eat today? If I were to eat, say, chicken in Medieval France or a fish in Ancient Rome, would it taste vastly different to what I'm used to?
>>3153071
Generally speaking, you're unlikely to create more "optimal" foods on accident. Unless you're deliberately making foods to be healthy, the fact you didn't evolve alongside the food and diet as a whole makes it less likely you'll be properly adapted to it. In other words, it'll usually be less healthy. This is really just a general or statistical statement, not a rule or anything. It's also hard to determine for certain because of how complex our biology is. Sometimes you just don't see the effects of diet or sometimes it only appears decades down the line.
All that said, people who preach you should only eat foods that could be found 1000 years ago or longer is bullshit, they're giving the whole "natural" aspect of it way too much credit. There's no such thing as unnatural, including GMOs. Natural at best could be a standin to refer to foods we evolved with.
>>3153071
>preservative-laden sugar heavy ones that are pretty consistent across the west
Who eats that shit dude? Why would you want to eat anything other than veg and meat and wholefoods? They heaps cheaper and better
>>3153071
No GMO's, preservatives, pesticides, eostrogen-laden packaging, pollution, processed sugars - sounds pretty healthy to me. Though if you've read Plato, even back then the elite understood that if you restrict meat to the lower classes and give them a primarily grain-based diet, they will be strong enough to work but too weak to revolt.

Europeans are the biggest WEWUZers of all time, bar none. It's one thing to adopt the techniques and institutions of an ancient civilization, but it's another thing entirely to claim to actually BE that civilization for centuries. CENTURIES.
>>3153069
Claiming to be a successor is different than claiming to be the entity itself. It's also far less clear cut since any debate about it tends to be subjective unless the previous state directly transitioned to a new one, or was broken up into several pieces, in which case there is a technical argument to be made
What are Barons /his/? Were they, Lord of the Manor, living in their fortified keep in villages. Or did they live in Castles?
A baron could own several manors and a castle, though not necessarily a castle.
>>3153051
>castle, though not necessarily a castle.
Peel towers of sorts or any variation of tower houses?
>>3153032
Depends on the place they are baron of. Some were broke, others obscenely rich.
I'm no expert on the matter, but so far in my studies of history I haven't encountered even a single case of a member of the Central Powers WW1 leaderships admitting after the war, "Hey, we fucked up by letting our nations get sucked into the war, and then we fucked up by failing to win it." On the other hand, I've read excuses. It was the Jews... It was the Communists... It was the Armenians... Etc. Etc. Did any of those fuckers admit their own diplomatic and military incompetence after the war?
This isn't some 21st century american politician doing bad things with his dick. Military and political leaders lost their positions or lives and the republicans that replaced them blamed them

>The Canaanites are famous as the bad guys of the Book of Joshua in the Tanakh, or the Hebrew Bible. First, God orders the Hebrews to destroy the Canaanites along with several other groups, and later we hear that the Canaanites have actually been wiped out. Among archaeologists, however, the Canaanites are a cultural group whose rise and fall has remained a mystery. Now, a group of archaeologists and geneticists has discovered strong evidence that the Canaanites were not wiped out. They are, in fact, the ancestors of modern Lebanese people.
>Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute geneticist Marc Haber and his colleagues decided to find out who the Canaanites were by sequencing ancient DNA from five persons whose bodies were found buried in the Canaanite seaside town of Sidon. An ongoing archaeological dig at the site had uncovered the burials of three women and two men who lived roughly 3,700 years ago in the bustling area. After sequencing DNA from all five people, the researchers compared the results with the genomes of 99 modern-day Lebanese people.
>"Over 90 percent of the genetic ancestry of present-day Lebanese was derived from the Canaanites," said Chris Tyler-Smith, who was on the research team. "In light of the enormously complex history of this region in the last few millennia, it was quite surprising."
>Clearly, the Canaanites did not die out, though they came to be known by other names. They continued living in the exact same places they did 4,000 years ago during the Bronze Age.
>Haber and colleagues' genetic analysis also revealed the origins of the Canaanites, whose ancestry was so mysterious that even the ancient Greeks wondered about it. Analysis showed that the forbears of the five Bronze Age Canaanites in the study are the result of mixture between local Neolithic farmers and hunter-gatherers who hailed from the region today called Iran.
>The Iranian group probably arrived in Sidon with the ascendency of the Akkadian Empire, which the researchers note "controlled the region from Iran to the Levant between 4,400 and 4,200 years ago." A massive drought around 4,200 years ago led to the empire's collapse and also sent refugees fleeing from the parched north of Mesopotamia to the south. There's evidence that southern cities and villages in the area became overcrowded with the new migrants. Eventually, however, the two populations intermingled and produced a thriving, influential culture. The people of this culture called themselves Canaanites.
>Modern-day Lebanese underwent another genetic transformation in the past one to three thousand years, as Steppe peoples migrated to the area from the east and mixed with the local population. As a result, people in Lebanon today are mostly Canaanite, with a touch of Eurasian ancestry. This change came about in the wake of another collapsing empire.

Probably got destroyed as a nation not genocided.
>First, God orders the Hebrews to destroy the Canaanites along with several other groups
These Hebrews keep breaking promises it seems, God had to come down from his realm and create order because the "chosens" couldn't keep to their promises.
Why is there such a high social stygma in all cultures about people who don't have any children?
I mean, not just the desire of not having them, a couple who for X motive doesn't have children (health, money, etc) is usually stygmatized.
>inb4 le survival of the race
People always reproduce, it's not like all of society will stop having children.
So why? Is there any reason for this patern?
People don't like those who stand out
it's just evolutionary biology. life is meant to propagate itself, and when it doesn't it's treated like an anomaly.
