It is known. Look how powerful kek has become after a mere two years of only half serious divination.

Why didn't the Romans go for Denmark/Sweden?

>>2608158
Because there was nothing of value there.

fire will do a number on anything, as will undermining the foundation, and pulling down supporting walls with hooks and applied force

literally nothing there but some german tribes fucking around in their hovels

But they wanted to annex Germania.

The Romans didn't have contact with the German barbarian groups for ages, and their first interaction was with invading german tribes traveling from the east across their northern borders on their way to gaul, arguably, the "german" could be seen as the invader, destroying several armies as the romans came to terms with what they represented.

There is no "germania" to annex as well, the tribes are indicated in the historical record as being separate from one another, falling more into classifiable groups based on the implements and tools they used, more so than political connection into some kind of state, that simply didn't exist. They were ever roving bands.

I'm interested in this as well, they basically demolished Carthage down to the last brick.

How did they do that without modern demolition machines or explosives?

Fire can destroy stone structures? Interesting.

You tie a rope to a support pillar and have a horse or oxen pull.

So can Stonehenge be burned down?

>>2608968
Sure. If you lit a big fire around the stones, got them really hot, and dumped water on them, they'll crack and break.

That's how medieval mining worked in hard stone. Fire was built at the face of the rock, rock got hot, and water was dumped on the rock.

The Romans were crafty af. You can tunnel under structures and bring them down like that, or you can just siege the shit out of it.

By accident

>At which time one of the soldiers, without staying for any orders, and without any concern or dread upon him at so great an undertaking, and being hurried on by a certain divine fury, snatched somewhat out of the materials that were on fire, and being lifted up by another soldier, he set fire to a golden window, through which there was a passage to the rooms that were round about the holy house, on the north side of it. As the flames went upward, the Jews made a great clamor, such as so mighty an affliction required, and ran together to prevent it; and now they spared not their lives any longer, nor suffered any thing to restrain their force, since that holy house was perishing, for whose sake it was that they kept such a guard about it.
>§6. And now a certain person came running to Titus, and told him of this fire, as he was resting himself in his tent after the last battle; whereupon he rose up in great haste, and, as he was, ran to the holy house, in order to have a stop put to the fire; after him followed all his commanders, and after them followed the several legions, in great astonishment; so there was a great clamor and tumult raised, as was natural upon the disorderly motion of so great an army. Then did Caesar, both by calling to the soldiers that were fighting, with a loud voice, and by giving a signal to them with his right hand, order them to quench the fire.

This has the added bonus of desecrating the temple's ruins with remains.

They wanted to annex Germania in order to establish Elbe-Danube border, not because Germania was worthy of anything.
