Sherden were most likely from Sardinia, Nuraghic fortifications on that island are also connected to them.

Atlantis is unlikely to connect with Sea People myth, Illiad, on the other hand, is more than likely.

Can't cuck you, or if they do then you don't really care since as a noble you don't love your wife and he can't get her pregnant.
Can't do nepotism since they have no kids to pass their title on to, and if it's a eunuch-only title then nobody else wants to lose their balls for it.
Can't abuse their power to take your throne becase nobody would follow a guy who literally has no balls.
>>
>>2953010
As someone castrated at a rather young age I can say the lose of sexual desire frees up your time greatly.

You also don't fuck harems and you can have greater trust because you lack progeny to fight to get on throne.

Didn't stop eunuchs from gaining power, just greatly reduced it.

Cows are not just sacred to Hindus, they are a part of all Indo-European religions. From the Greeks and Romans to the Celts and Vikings all of them worshipped and sacrificed cows. This comes from a sacred primordial cow sacrifice in Proto-Indo-European (Aryan) myth which is quite similar to the Zoroastrian Gavaevodata, the Hindu Kamadhenu also known as Surabhi (सुरभि), or the Old Norse Auðumbla. The sacrifice of the cow itself by the first three men is very similar to the sacrifice of the bull by Mithras. The divine Aryan twins have parallels in Roman (Romulus and Remus) and Anglo-Saxon (Hengest and Horsa) origin myths.

All this shows that the cow is the most important and sacred of animals.

>When I was a kid, my entire family was rounded up, put on a train in carriages meant for cattle with so many other people that some were crushed to death, trained for 3 days without food or water wherein most of the people died including my mother, let out only to find out i was at some place called auschwitz where i would watch my grandparents and little sister be selected (it was the last time I ever saw them), survived with my father in the camp for two years before he died weeks away from liberation of tuberculosis, all that time seeing everything i loved and cherished die and wither away, my culture becoming extinct, witnessing the greatest of all atrocities, guards cruelty torturing other inmates, babies thrown in the air and used for target practice by the germans, and finally surviving weighing little more than a corpse after being put through a death march across the countryside by the nazi guards who were trying to destroy the evidence of their crimes against humanity

Jesus Christ stop being a little bitch. Like God would be bothered to make sure you're happy, he has toast to appear on and crackers to transform into.

Is it wrong or selfish to fuck a prostitute? Is it inherently fueling money into a system that is abusive to people in compromised positions? Is the trick just to not give a fuck?
262 posts and 35 images submitted.

>>2946930

For various reasons I have never hired a hooker, but I do not see anything inherently evil in it as long as woman is not coerced or abused into it and the customer also is not harming anyone (for example his wife).

Degenerate forms of prostitution, including the abuse of women and the involvement of organised crime in it, are a product of its illegal status in many countries. In jurisdictions where prostitution is legal and protected by the state, such things are far less common and most women are self employed.

The romans had access to horses and were more advanced in general presuming this would be a battle and not a war.
In a war scenario it would be a stalemate due to the giant fucking ocean between them.
>>
>>2945457
This is completely hypothetical, it's a battle scenario. The outcome would be totally different depending on where it is but I think Rome would win on both their own land or the Aztec's land. Rome had great improvisional battle strategy, and they were just way more technologically advanced. The Aztec's knowledge of their land can only do so much.

Did the Byzantines/late eastern roman empire had anything that made them stand out from other empires or powers?

You know what I mean. When you think of Rome you intermediately think of sculptures, the amphitheaters, the legionnaires, tall blocky white structures.
When you think of the caliphates you think of the mamelucs, horses, camels and the Arabian world.
The Germans, that pretty much represent all the ideas people have about the middle ages.

You know the drill. But did the Byzantines had anything that made them culturally unique? Or were they just a recycled of old Greco-Roman ideas with a bit of middle-east thrown in?
Pretty much the only thing that comes to my mind when I think of them is their relatively crude paintings, and the Hagia Sophia, that for the better part of the last millennium has been turned into a Turkish Muslim icon in the eyes of the common people.

Well it what time period are talking about early eastern Roman or the later Byzantine period.
>>
>>2942077
It would be nice to hear about both. One would imagine they either developed a more unique culture towards the end than at the beginning.

Tho considering their circumstances I wouldn't be surprised if they declined rather than progress.

>>2942071
That isn't a painting.
