It seems they were only successful when they could conquer an existing civilization (neolithic India, Iran, Europe). When they formed their own communities, they either faded into extinction, or got conquered themselves (Tocharians, Afanasievans, Kalash, etc.)

Another thing: IEs liked the tangible, rather than the abstract. They had polytheistic nature gods, while "neolithic" people had an abstract monotheism: Abrahamism came from the Mideast. Abrahamism took over Europe only after IEs mixed with indigenous neolithics. Shaivism was prominent in Dravidian India, which had less IE and more neolithic blood than the north. (Shaivism saw god as an intangible entity, Vaishnavism saw god as a literal person)

So it seems to me that the neolithics (who all descend from the ancient Mideast) were probably more alike to our current mode of civilization than the IEs. So the topics of discussion for this post are twofold.

1. Do you agree with my characterization (of IEs being less abstraction oriented)?

2. How did IEs get big in the first place? Was it just horses? Metal? Other stuff we don't know about?

Help me out /his/

I live in the holy land and want to reenact a crusader while doing a Monty Python thing in the near future.

What gear must I obtain to appear like an authentic Crusader knight of the Kingdom of Jerusalem (preferably 13th century) and what is the best place to obtain such gear ?

So

A mail shirt
Chausses
Mittens
Coif
Helmet
Belts
Surcoat
Cloak
Sword
Shield

That's probably going to be a pretty hefty investment, maybe somewhere in the region of 700 dollarydoos. The Knight Shop and Get Dressed For Battle are pretty great suppliers. They're based in the UK but I think they ship overseas.
>>
>>3119839

As your image makes clear, you don't actually need to wear armor since the surcoat will cover it anyway. You can buy reproduction clothing of this sort online, or you can buy a big sheet and do the stitching yourself. You don't need to be 100% accurate since no-one will notice anyway, and in fact most people have ahistorical impressions of the period anyway.

>>3119839
You pic about coves it. Don't skimp on the trousers and boots. But go with modern comfort for undergarments. Trust me.
You'll also want a horse, if that's possible.
Another one people normally forget would be pouches and water containers, as well as appropriate belts/ties. Similarly clasps for your gear.

>maybe somewhere in the region of 700 dollarydoos.
Bang on, if you plan to make most of it yourself. Which is advisable because you can make it fit you best. Sewing shit and making things like maille, the shield, and helm is quite easy. Sword is probably the most difficult if you don't have a workshop.

Porn didn`t exist back in the day, masturbation wasn`t allowed and sex before marriage was a no go. So how did the boys back in the day deal with their penis having blood pumped into
it?
I doubt that everyone was some monk who could withstand any and all sexual desires.
Just to clarify I talk about boys in Europe back in the medieval times and Rennaisance

Which is the superior religion? For the sake of limiting the scope of discussion Islam will only refer to demonstrably orthodox adherents of one of the four Sunni madhabs (i.e. no Shi'ites, Khawarij like ISIS etc) and Christianity will only refer to Apostolic variants (no protties). As far as which criteria make one superior I leave that open to debate. Clearly state your reasoning.

If it's Sunni verses Catholic/Orthodox, Christianity.

>Islam has a better track record than Christianity when it comes toward treatment of religious minorities

Honestly I think Islam was actually more tolerant in the 19th century than it is nowadays, the religion really radicalized in the late 20th century

Why is washington the capital of the united states? Were there any alternative candidates?

Used to be Philadelphia but there was a massive yellow fever plague.

They switched it around a lot between the different major cities, and then eventually decided it would be better to design a new capital from scratch in a spot of land that would be politically independent from the state governments.
>>
Wanted a location that wasn't quite Northern or Southern. A new city was created (out of land ceded from Maryland) to avoid a U.S. state meddling in the capital's affairs. Though personally I'd much rather have Philly as the U.S. capital than some shitty swamp.
>>
washtington is capital because when they were getting the states to ratify the constitution the southern states would only join if the capital was in the south

Is democracy the best thing ever for oligarchs?

Rich people can easily influence it. Easy access to media, politicians and so on. Poor people, however, have little or no influence. Nobody gives a shit about protest marches. If anything it promotes inequality.

Is the nation derived from the state or the state derived from the nation?
10 posts and 1 images submitted.
>>
>>3119085
Obviously state is derived from nation because nations can exists without a state. Kurds for a prime modern example
>>
They are mutually exclusive

States are a legal entity

Nations are a socio-cultural feeling

You can have stateless nations, and states consisting of multiple nations

and of course, nations did not exist as a "basis" for the state, or as self-constructed groupings (unless you see tribalism as a form of proto-nationalism), before the 18th century
>>
It goes both ways, but usually the state comes first and the national identity is formed from it. Germany and Italy are exceptions.
