Was given this in my Ancient European languages class by a fellow student. I can't find what language it is or even decode it from any derivative of English.
I don't know if it's a joke or not, but any help would be appreciated because he won't talk about it.

well you know the first two "words" are your name, and you know the last "word" is his name, so start from there

I think it says fvavdo kdoarod, and the first line is cdohl vaah ohr dalav
I'll decode the rest later

I tried my name, and his name, but neither work because some letters repeat. The only thing I've somewhat gotten to work is "hello" for the first word. But the last symbol/letter is weird in that sense. (Unless the third and fourth letters are actually one letter..)

Sup /his/,
So Historica Canada, a Crown corporation that's supposed to promote Canadian history, has been publishing these things called heritage minutes for a few decades now.
They're 1 minute snippets of Canadian history played during commercial time on Canadian programming.
Here's one on our first prime minister:

this is about the war of 1812:

Here's a link to their channel.

Does your country do something similar? It would be interesting to see this style of history lesson of other countries.

In the Baltic countries during the 90s the government forced back Baltic culture after the Soviet withdrawal. Not sure about any videos like this. Is this just to remind Canadians that they're not American?

72 years has passed since World War 2 ended. The dust has settled and the smoke has cleared. Is it about time we teach the younger generation the truth about Mr. Adolf Hitler and his National Socialist party of Germany?

The truth : shitler = biggest nigger and arab lover in history.
you see everyone shitler like all himler , geobles and all the rest of the nazi party and german people loved niggers.
shitler loved niggers and wanted to mix all germans with niggers.
In his book mein kempf, shitler famously wrote and I quote :
"I love africans. They , unlike the jews, are all nordic/germanic. My biggest wish is to mix all germans with africans. And after we win this war and murder all jews in the world , me , himler and geobles are going to personally make sure every single woman in our beloved deutschland is impregnated with semen from africans".

File: are horse archer societies OP in open field battles.jpg (12KB, 299x168px) Image search:

So I was watching Game of Thrones the other day (sue me), and in one of the scenes, these guys were talking about what would happen if a bunch of Not!Mongolians (300,000) showed up to rove around the countryside, slaughtering and killing everyone in the kingdom, while the rest of the people hid in their castles, waiting for the horse riders to come to them because they would be too nervous to meet them out in the open field where the horse archer's better mobility would B them TFO.
And then, in another scene, a bunch of Not!GermanBarbarians also plan on going over this giant wall to plunder and pillage the entire kingdom's countryside.
Okay, so, realistically speaking, what the fuck did people do back then to prevent that? If a large army somehow got in your country, then what? You just let them kill everyone that can't get behind a stone wall? I know in Agincourt, the English practically had a roadtrip throughout all of France and at the end of their campaign their numbers were dwindled down to a few thousand...Is that what happens? The enemy just shows up, wrecks shit without impunity, slowly loses steam, leaves, and you're just left there to clean up the mess?
And what if they all rode on horses, like the Game of Thrones Dothraki, or the Mongolians did? Then what are you supposed to do? Just let them do all that, but their numbers dwindle down even slower, because there's no real way to really hit them where it hurts because they move too fast?
What the fuck? This doesn't sound right. Any historical examples of a large army just appearing on an empire's shores? What did the invaded nation do to defeat it? Is the answer literally just "let them run around knocking over your sand castles until they slowly lose strength"? That can't be right.
TL;DR
What do when large army shows up on your shores? Just station armies at major key locations while the invading army goes "okay" and raids the entirety of your undefended lands? No memes, legit question.

The logistics of keeping 300.000 horse nomads and there 1 million horses alive pretty much requires they stay on a large enough steppe.
The moment they move out of that the countdown starts and attrition starts to eat away their horses and herds.
That said in Europe western powers frequently faced horse archers in open combat and won.
The Huns, Avars, Magyars, Seljuks and eventually Mongols were defeated in open battle by armies of sedentary states. Besides that they could launch hit and run attacks from their castles and retreat to them when they needed to.
You could look at the Magyar invasions and how the Germans killed them or the Second/Third Mongol Invasion of Poland and third invasion of Hungary.
>>
>>3071481
The Poles and Hungarians figured this out when the Mongols came back the second time
The dilemma was they couldn't really take the Mongols in a normal field battle and they couldn't just let them pillage everything obviously
So in the intervening years they built hundreds of hard to tackle castles everywhere and used them to safely sortie and wreck smaller bands of Mongols, eventually whittling the invaders down to a demoralized state which they expelled from their lands
As far as I know that's the only way. Win the local battles and isolate the larger forces
>>
>>3071493
IIRC the Hungarians did fight large parts of the Mongols in open battle during the second invasion.
