What was its significance in history? Why?
Does Saturn impact the course of meteors? Maybe it prevented a mass extinction here and we don't even know it.
It's satan on google /sky/, on September 23rd BIG things will happen, see you in September!

So this is the power of Byzantine innovation
Who historically has more claim to this area?
>>3090684
Whoever can take and keep it.
Christianity. Death to Jews and Muslims.
>>3090684
Easily the Jews. I mean lets be honest. Where does the "Palestinian" language trace back to? Arabia. Where does the Jewish language trace back to? Israel. Just because Arabs annexed all of the Levant, appropriated Churches and Synagogues into Mosques doesn't make it theirs.
Palestine is much more of a colonial invention solely because they are only named that because Europeans decided to name that area Syria Palestina. They claim to be "anti-colonialism" but only exist as a group due to colonialism. Also, it pisses me off how they've convinced the world they are indigenous. Most Palestinian clans came after the crusaders were pushed out. I guarantee if the Crusaders never were pushed out, these same leftists wouldn't be calling the Germans and French indigenous to that land.
Was there an empire that cucked conquered peoples as hard as the Ottomons did? I mean the whole stealing your children to grow your Harem thing was pretty top tier on the oppression levels

Why are white people so obsessed with their women getting fucked by others? I mean image what goes through a guys mind to draw these things. Do you think he jerked off to the thought of Turks raping their women?
White people seem obsessed with rape in general. With all the rape in the Americas and world war 2 and many more event where these subhuman whites can't control their chimpout.
Embarrassing.

Byzantine hate thread.
Greek Larpers got what they deserved
>be perfidious greek
>bring 10,000 Frankish crusaders to your city, set them outside the walls for a year doing nothing and don't pay them
>call enemy general in the city to discuss terms
>murder him while his army waits at the doors
>have the gall to cry foul when the enemy rightfully considers your act a break of truce and renews the assault
4th crusade was justified

Stop spammimg these threads, Byzantines were based
Why does anything exist at all?
It doesn't
I am just the product of an extremely intricate bubble floating through a universe and you are all imagined beings created within my mind and that universe was created by God since something cannot come from nothing.
Therefore it's obvious why there's something rather than nothing.
idk
China has the most interesting and rich history in the world.
Prove me wrong.
>>3088675
i can't
china never really interested me. the kind of history I like is when societies interact with each other and china seems to have stuck to itself for the most part. and when they are involved in foreign stuff its typically with neighbors.
>>3088675
china is an endless chain of falling apart and coming back together and not much else
Sorry for asking here instead of /pol/ but, you know...
Where do you think there is a higher level classism and elitism?
In USA or in West European countries?
By this I mean more inequality, disdain for the low class, lack of opportunities, lack of respect, etc
Pic unrelated
>>3088390
Probably Africa.
High society types in the UK have absolute disdain for their working* class, and always have far more than any other country historically.
*White working class, the upper crusts these days seems to absolutely adore all of the newcomers become muh colonial guilt and muh poor brown oppressed people
>>3088390
Anywhere in Third world.
My best guess would be the Aztecs.
It's hard to imagine a more brutal culture than one based on warfare, slavery and human sacrifice.
But I'm sure /his/ can change my mind.

bretty interesting. Orkeny is an island far north of Scotland, by the way. Way beyond Hadrian's wall.
i am very fascinated by the extremities of the roman empire, such as hadrian's wall. also, did you know the romans had a trading port in india? Greek traders even settled in sri lanka during the early CE.
This sort of ancient and classical long distance travel really get my neurons firing. I remember reading once about celtic iron age miners traveling to china, probably bullshit but it really captivated me.
please tell me more.
Coinage is usually made out of something valuable like gold so it has inherent value which means it can be used anywhere.
>did you know the romans had a trading port in india?
Citation please

This is actually incredibly uninteresting. Roman objects were imported as far as Finland.
Barbarian Europe had extensive and sophisticated trade networks, it wasn't just a bunch of savages grunting and chimping out randomly.

I was born "jewish" although I don't believe in judaism. I am 100% atheist.
It has always boiled my blood to know what the german people did to us but I take solace in knowing that at least some german civilians were put to sleep by the great Sir Arthur Travers Harris.
Rest In Peace Marshal of the Royal Air Force Sir Arthur Travers Harris, 1st Baronet, GCB, OBE, AFC (13 April 1892 – 5 April 1984),
Just goes to show that religion takes a back seat when you're at war. Christian country my arse. When Hitler started bombing civilians revenge was the first thing on Churchill's mind - not turning the other cheek.

When a mad dog bites you, you don't try to reason with it, you have it put down. A G*rm is incapable of normal human reasoning, exterminating it is not cruel, it's pest control.
Why would god create a creature which had the ability to turn on him and who was powerful enough to be extremely hard for him to defeat?
Sounds fucking retarded tbqhwy
Christian depiction of Satan is fanfic-tier
Try actually reading the Bible, I don't think you understand the concept of the devil

God could destroy evil in every form in an instant if he wanted to, but then the entire idea of giving humans free will and the ability to choose good or evil would be gone. God wants followers and believers not just slaves
