Whereas western history has been studied academically for centuries, we've just begun to unravel the history of non-western/precolonial societies. That makes it a very fascinating subject, but unfortunately butthurt racists will stifle any substantial discussion with shitposting.

This is true enough

We had a good thread a few weeks back where I posted some illustrated Bible manuscripts from South Sudan that I'd helped digitize. Everything started off okay, but then a bunch of people showed up accusing it of being fake and desperately trying to "prove" the manuscripts weren't from Africa, for some reason. One of them had determined the Bible was actually from Medieval France, because there was modern French written in the digital margin. I explained that I was the one who had made the notes in the first place, but they didn't care to listen. Eventually I just got tired of it and stopped posting.

I'm sorry for the anons who missed out on something they found interesting. Hopefully I'll be in the library again soon and can take some more pictures of them.

Europe was the engine driving world history for around 2500 years.

Eurocentric in what sense?

If you mean by claiming that Europeans did basically everything relevant then that's because it's true.

If you mean by us only talking about Europe it's because besides Asia basically every other region of the planet is irrelevant in the story of humanity. Sure you can talk about Mali or some bumfuck Native American tribe, but it's not like they were important in the history of the planet.

Egypt > Greeks > Rome > European Kingdoms > Colonial Europeans > Post Industrial Europeans/their colonies

That is basically a timeline of every relevant civilisation/group of civilisations in history. Throw in China and a few early medieval middle eastern kingdoms and you've covered literally everything that's important.

Europe by far has the most interesting and meaningful history. Europeans are the most successful people on the planet, so its important to read their past and understand how they arrived in their current situation.

American history is important because America is the world's current superpower. It was an revolutionary federal republic out to prove the veracity of democracy in the face of monarchism.

I myself like learning in specific
>American history
>Roman history
>Swiss history
>Brazilian history
As a kid my favorite part of history was the middle ages, and later I liked the renaissance. I hated the Victorian age because I felt it was boring to learn about. Back in middle school, I'm shocked at how much baroque/harpsichord music I used to listen to. Later in highschool my opinions switched and I felt the renaissance wasn't that interesting anymore but the Victorian age was.

Right now my opinion for the renaissance is reflourishing. Listening to some Vivaldi once again.

But, actually, it's shit because it doesn't use the 100 Years War setting at all. It could have been any war between Christian powers, and all they would have needed to do was change a few names and scenes. No specific locations, people, or battles are used and they just make reference to Joan of Arc once.
It focuses too much on the witches and shit that the few martial scenes are ruined by the supernatural bullshit because war is bad, m'kay.

Historically, Asians just called them barbarians in their respective languages. Or went after their religion like the Muslims.

Though some cultures did go after physicalities. The Chinese, for example, used to think red hair is freakish on human beings. Kinda like the monkeys they see in the forests in the south.

In addition to said hair attached to the heads of Indo-Iranian Horsenigger barbarians, the Chinese use "Hongmao (Redhead)" (Angmo in Cantonese) as a prejorative for whites in general.

Islamic Golden Age mostly came from Persians of Eastern Greater Iran -- in areas called "Khorasan". Figures such as Al-Khwarizmi, Avicenna, Rhazes, Omar Khayyam, Al-Farabi, etc. came from such a region.

There were not many Arabic scholars/scientists in comparison. Heck, there were even more Turkic scholars compared to Arab subhumans.
