Powerful people secretly collude all the time, though it is mostly in just boring stuff like good old nepotism, like using your connections to get your kid a fancy job that he isn't really qualified for.

The Guglmänner are a secret society devoted to King Ludwig II of Bavaria. They want Bavaria to secede and to inform the public about their belief that King Ludwig was murdered by Prussian intelligence on the orders of Otto von Bismarck. When they appear in public they usually wear black hoods.

Ironically the Illuminati were secular libertarians.

Seriously, his political ideology is all over the fucking place. He calls himself a classical liberal but he opposes neoliberalism (which is a resurrection of the ideology he claims to be a part of)

Good domestic leader but catastrophically shitty military commander.

Fucking retard, Aramaic was the court language of the Assyrian Empire, the language of trade. The Persians adopted Aramaic also for this purpose. Why do the Parsi speak Farsi?

>>3366317
Majoos?

Mesopotamia has always been an ideal place of commerce, trade, political administration due to its accessibility, fertile land, and of course due to these things the density of the population.

I'm not too certain but it may also be possible that the capital was set up prior to Roman subjugation of the Levant.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ctesiphon

>Ctesiphon was founded in the late 120s BC. It was built on the site of a military camp established across from Seleucia by Mithridates I of Parthia. The reign of Gotarzes I saw Ctesiphon reach a peak as a political and commercial center. The city became the Empire's capital circa 58 BC during the reign of Orodes II. Gradually, the city merged with the old Hellenistic capital of Seleucia and other nearby settlements to form a cosmopolitan metropolis.

>The reason for this westward relocation of the capital could have been in part due to the proximity of the previous capitals (Mithradatkirt, and Hecatompylos at Hyrcania) to the Scythian incursions.

Same reasons the Romans moved their capital closer to the Persians. Barbarian threats.

He is just memeing, did you actually think that he was unironically a communist? He was very active in anti-Titoist circles, took part in anti-communist protests in Yugoslavia and ran on a moderate liberal democratic platform during the first Slovenian presidential election. He is just a normal centre-left social democrat.

>>3365954
Being anti-communist in the Eastern block doesn't mean you are anti-communist ideologically.

Sure, I'm a time traveler.

Ask me about what happens a month from now.

Should we just resurrect /sexyhis/ threads?

It seems those had a far higher quality of discussion than these "waifu/art pieces I just off to" threads. Plus it got us pregnant Anne Frank porn and it would be nice if we got the ball rolling on that again.

I mean no physical death dude, all you gotta do is believe in jesus

"He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal."

THAT IS A CAPTIOUS QUESTION —THE ROMAN EMPIRE NEVER ADOPTED CHRSTIANITY; THE ROMAN EMPIRE ESTABLISHED AND ADOPTED JUDEOCHRISTIANITY, WHILST FACILITATING THE PERSECUTION OF CHRISTIANS, AND VIRTUAL ERADICATION OF CHRISTIANITY.

My grandpa lied to the Afghan communist party by saying he was giving a UN speech in France and would return in three days but actually escaped with nothing but the clothes on him, his wife and my father's backs. I know a fuckton about the conflict and Afghanistan's history before/after the event in general. AMA
>to answer your question OP: shut the fuck up you illiterate retard Afghanistan is about as middle eastern as india

>>3364594
>>3364604
Also even if the country was even geographically part of this "near east" you speak of, it literally would have no effect on the state of MENA today. It wouldn't have even happened though because Russia was interested in Afghanistan's geographical location (muh warm water port) so fuck off

>>3364604
That's why i used the term NEAR EAST, which encompasses Western Asia you illiterate mouthbreathing fucktard. Next time post something with value you stupid moron

tell us why you ahte him so much. Did he kill your ancient nigger-kuridsh ancestors?

>>3364180
He didn't kill Darius or Xerxes, you mong

Also, he looted and burned Persepolis while drunk.

So we can agree that he was at least half nigger.

if you're just going to be a sociopath there's no point in arguing with you, you'll just do whatever you want

>>3364048

>>3364060
It is more sociopathic to leave people with severe physical or mental disabilities alive.
