>Cinnamon is native to Sri Lanka and has been found in Ancient Egypt as early as 1500 BCE, suggesting early trade between Egypt and the island's inhabitants
What the fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck
Or the Sri Lankans traded with Indians and the Indians traded with Arabs which then traded with the Egyptians.
>>3147841
I don't think Sri Lankans could reach india by boat
>>3147844
Yeah it's impossible, like how Sardinia wasn't settled until the 1700s. The sea is big, anon.
IS CHRISTIANITY IDOLATRY?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zxm26c4rklk
I watched that video, and it reminded me of an opinion I used to have in the past.
Christians don't worship God, instead they worship an avatar of God, an idol.
Surely this goes against supposed Christian rules and lore.
Its even worse in countries like the USA, where people selectively believe, personalizing their God, and thus creating a subjective avatar of Him (idol) to worship, instead of worshiping the actual God as He is known.
Can anyone give good arguments against such a claim? I can't think of any.
For the catalog search: Theology, Religion, Christianity.

>christianity is idolatry
Bump for interest. Seems legit.
>>3147765
>I can't think of any.
So you just blatantly said this is a troll thread.
Ahhh, fuck it.
This guy surely knows what Christianity teaches, but he's dishonestly misrepresenting the religion and taking advantage of the ignorance of retarded "cultural Christians." Jesus never had any part of God's power bestowed upon him. He isn't an avatar, he isn't a representation, and he isn't a separate being from God. He is God the Son.
His arguments might work against Arians and other non-trinitarians, but they don't really apply to orthodox Christian theology.
>>3147765
for it to be idolatry doesn't it have to be, well, an idol? I don't think a human manifestation of God would count as an idol, not to mention that christians can't actually bow before jesus himself and worship him. in practical terms he's just as distant as a non-human God. not to defend the nonsense that is the trinity, but from within the framework of christian theology, worshiping jesus is definitely not idolatry or worship of a being other than God, since he is God.

I just watched a video claiming that the Celtic Gauls were actually African
true or false ?
>>3147756
*diodorus siculus on the Gauls
The Celts were originally Black people. Ephorus (c. 405BC) claimed that the Celts were Blacks or Ethiopians. The Celts continued to be recognized as Blacks by Tacitus, who wrote about the Black Celts and Picts in 80 AD.
The Celts on the mainland of Europe were called Iberians or Silures, though the original Celts were Black, overtime their name was stolen by Europeans. The original Celts were Iberians.
The Iberians were probably conquered by the Ligurians. The Ligurians are the modern Basque of Spain. The Ligurians took the name Celt.
The Ligurians/Celts were conquered by the Gaulish speaking people. The Gauls conqered the Ligurians and pushed them into Spain. It was these Gauls who imposed their language on the Iberian and Ligurian Celts. The Gauls were Belgians and the Irish and Welsh are descendants of these Gauls These Gauls spoke Gaulish or Gaelic.
The Germans conquered the Gaulish-Celts, and Gaulish disappeared around 4th Century AD.
All of the Black Celts in Britain were not erased by the Gauls.This is supported by the Ivory Lady of York ,England. The reconstruction of the face of the Ivory Bangle Lady (c.350AD) indicates that she was African or Black.
Groups of CElts did settle in North Africa, probably what they're latching onto
Why didn't Natives unite and create a country for all natives in the Americas just like Bolivar wanted to unite all the latino countries into one after independence?
>>3147531
No mass communication.
Plus, the idea of an imaginary sky father giving armies a mandate to commit genocide was unfathomable. Native Americans lived with the land. They didn't draw imaginary lines across it.

Why the fuck do I not know anything about my country's history from 1777-1860 and from 1866-1913? For example, I was doing research on the M1911 pistol, and I found out that we had a fucking war against the Philippines around the turn of the century. Thanks school.

What are some good sources to read more about the Scythians?

Shit picture. Scythians were blonde, red/auburn and light browned hair. They were also mostly blue and green in eye coloration.

Anglo interference and hemorrhoids .
if every permutation of conception between each human sperm and each human ovum produces a unique person, then is the act of conception an act of genocide since that sperm will never have a chance to produce a human with every other ovum and that ovum will never have a chance to produce a human with every other sperm cell?

What where some real shit times and places to live in history? I don't mean just a bit of war or hunger, but full end time feeling.
