The crusades were like warhammer40k

A slightly-less evil human empire trying to eradicate the Cult of Chaos

Unfortunately they failed and nowadays, cultists have infiltrated the higher echelons of imperial society and insist that Abaddon is a good guy who is just misunderstood

Completely. Good post, OP.

Not really. If anything the Snow Elf should be the Roman republic or unified Roman Empire and the Falmer should be the ERE or Byzantines.

It's one hundred percent accurate.

Although a minority trait, there are and were blonde greeks (perhaps around 8%)

. It was a prized trait in the greco-roman world; not uncommon for people to dye their hair blonde. It was also associated with the germanics more. Of course, actual greeks and romans (even blonde ones) were not of north european stock anymore than dark skinned egyptians were of west african stock out of virtue of that trait.

"White" in America is synonymous with "European", at least in common vernacular. But since I know this is a shitpost, I'm saging it and reporting it.

Because Greeks and Romans are European and white.

>>2981235
Because white was considered normal in America, with black being "other". Conversely in Africa, if you were part European, you're the "other". Obama actually talked about going to Kenya and saying that he's Luo and they laughed at him and called him a white boy. I forgot which book of his he wrote that it.

it isn't? I call someone black if they look fucking black. if the one drop rule applied then everyone in the south would be black

Cozy civs with probably bat shit crazy practices and gods. They had cities, probably one of the earliest writed languages than wasn't an ideoglyph an had an extensive trade network than travelled from Scandis, passing all the atlantic coast, roamed all the mediterranean coast (coutning egypt and north africa, the separation culturally of North Africa from Europe comes from the Islamic conquest), tradign all kinds of stuff but tin was probably the most important one, from the mines in wales (in Roman times they were called the casitherites island, being that the ore from were tin is extracted).

Ethiopia had a surprisingly strong connection to Russia pre-WWI. Without Russian help, they lost the Second Italian War, then post-WWII fell for the meme of communism like much of Africa.

>how genetically distinct Scottish and Irish people were from Gauls, Britons, and other continental celts.

From my knowledge not much at all. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong though

>Further, was their culture or religion similar at all, like would they have the same gods but with slightly different names?

Very similar. Britain was considered the hub of druidism to a large extent, although the Gauls had some druid thing in the Parisi territory as well. One thing to note is warfare wise, the Britons still used chariots while Continental Celts had stopped.

>Side question, as celts and italics (and even Greeks) are pretty similar (sharing a recent common PIE ancestor) would the Romans have similar gods to them? Is that why they didn't write much on them?

Similar enough where the Greeks and Romans would just call the Celtic gods who they felt they were in their own pantheons.

Overall with religion it's rather hard to tell. Celts had a taboo on writing so we don't know much about their religion and they weren't as unified of a culture as one would assume.

>>2980987
>I was wondering how genetically distinct Scottish and Irish people were from Gauls, Britons, and other continental celts.

I don't know anything about their genetics, but the "continental" and "insular" Celts are on different linguistic sub-branches of the Celtic branch, so presumably there was a genetic break as well.

>Further, was their culture or religion similar at all, like would they have the same gods but with slightly different names?

Yes, the various Indo-Europeans had similar mythologies/theologies until the rise of the Vedas created Hinduism and Christianity took over Europe.

>Side question, as celts and italics (and even Greeks) are pretty similar (sharing a recent common PIE ancestor) would the Romans have similar gods to them? Is that why they didn't write much on them?

Greeks aren't Italics, but yes, the Indo-Europeans had very similar religions. Also, who didn't write about whom?

Hannibal his grandfather was from an unknown part of Africa believed to be from Ethiopia or possibly farther inland. He was a military engineer under Peter the great. When to a university in France and fought in the war of the quadruple alliance.

Exclamation point.

literally Europe's benis

Rommel's legend was created in order to justify the re-arming of West Germany (part of the 'clean/elite Wehrmacht myth) and also to produce black propaganda to make excuses for British incompetence. He was also liked by Hitler because Rommel wasn't a typical Prussian aristocrat, who made up much of the Wehrmacht's officer corps.

Because he turned the war around in North Africa with only 3 German divisions, he knew he was never going to get to Suez but he figured he was tying down a lot of British forces in Africa

>>2980941
He was a national hero before he died, it's not a post war myth. Fuck off contrarians
