Medieval Europe. Holy Christ, what a boring era. Boring art, boring political events and structures, boring religion (Christianity is too familiar to be interesting); even warfare was boring (people wouldn't fight on Sundays). Don't even get me started on Feudalism.

>>3315829
>What's the most boring period of history?
apparently now.
"History education at institutions of higher learning is in trouble, too: Undergraduate enrollment in history courses in the 2014-2015 school year fell 7.6 percent from 2012-13. Not surprisingly, the percentage of history majors dropped by 12 percent between 2012 and 2014".

if europe was boring, the chinese were poisoning generals and pirating ships, and scaring the living shit out of their soon-to-be subjects.

if the chinese were boring, the arabs were building cities out of sand and hastening to return their neighbors' into raw material.

if the arabs were boring, the indians were off philosophizing about atomic theory and the number zero within their 250+ little jungle city-states.

if the indians were boring, the aztecs were wreaking unholy carnage to others and to themselves, all doped up on ayahuasca or mushrooms.

but let's face it—europe was never boring.

>>3315829
All of Imperial China after the early Han. Medieval English history, post-Norman Ireland, all of Japanese history.

>the aztecs were wreaking unholy carnage to others and to themselves, all doped up on ayahuasca or mushrooms.

As a Mexican I found this disturbingly funny but pretty accurate at the same time, Aztecs were brutal fucks

>>3315836

>>3316242
A lot of Japanese history is kind of boring. Sengoku and Bakumatsu/Meiji/Imperial get a lot of attention for a reason.

Roman history from Vespasian to the Marcomannic Wars is kind of dull too.

Not a fan of history of Asia. Like middle ages (I know it's a Eurocentric timeframe) in Indonesia. Fuck that.

In Europe I think first couple centuries after 476. I like reading or watching something about the daily life of the people back then but no noteworthy events.
If I had to rank my favorite centuries it would be a rather simple descending list from 20th century to 16th.

Post Napoleonic Era included the sec French revolution, colonial africa, and Bismarck.

Parts of the Pax Romana are pretty boring desu. Actually for me everything between Augustus and Crisis of the Third Century is meh.

>>3316052
We could be on the cusp of an unprecedented demographic shift in Europe, or a major conflict to abort it. You can already see the first signs of the implosion of the EU and the rise to superpower status of China.

>>3316759
Think about the thousands of years of unrecorded history of them and their neighbors doing brutal shit to each other that we will never know of. No one would feel bad about colonization if that info were to surface

>>3316828
I fucking hate when I tell people that the "mexican" (there was no mexico back then but anyways) were sadistic assholes and they all go "muh gentle savage! it was Cortez who made them violent"... fucking education in this country is shit, they still think Juarez is a hero and Emperor Maximilian was some kind of saturday morning cartoon villain when he did more for the lower class than the fucking Indio midget ever did or that Villa fought for the people when he raped and murdered his way throught northern Mexico riding the coatails of the revolution for his own personal gain

>>3316811
I don't mind not living in interesting times. They usually mean trouble.
I only wish space exploration picked up the pace.
People were inspired by stories about expedition to Africa in mid 19th century, journeys to the Antarctic in the early 20th century, then to Everest a couple decades later and finally space from 50s to 70s. We don't have anything like it.

Right now I think war on terror following 9/11 is pretty interesting and very complex.

>>3316841
VERY true. Same goes for the north American tribes too. Just because they didn't build giant cities or looked generally the same doesn't mean they were incapable if falling to brutal tribalism too

1896, 1993, respectively

>>3316865
1993 at least had the hunt for Escobar.

>>3316242

I had a class about Japanese history and that period was by far the most uneventful. Literally nothing happened.

Post WWII Jap history is pretty much like that too

>>3317141
I guess that was the point of the Sakoku policy. Keep drama out, crush any hint of native drama. I think it's still an interesting period to learn about, but only the social/cultural aspect of it. The rise of urban culture, the power struggle between the merchants and aristocracy, samurai struggling to stay relevant, Dutch learning slowly creeping in, Europe's courts' increasing fascination for this country, and how the Japanese start imagining the West, etc.

>>3317141

I wish space exploration would catch more wind too. Call me cringy, but its infinite vastness really is the final frontier to us today similar to how the open ocean was the final frontier for 16th century Europeans (or for any sea-exploring civilization for that matter). Space pyrats when?

WWIII will set casualties off the scale tho

The only interesting part of Japanese history is when japan turns out from a virgin fedora tipper into the chad conqueror.

Europe: Dark Ages, and post Napoleon to Bismark.

Middle East: Post Zoroastrianism to Crusades, and Post Crusades.

Africa: scramble for Africa

Asia: anything not related to the Three Kingdoms, Sengoku Jedai, Sejong of Korea, and Japan's modernization.

South America: Anything not related to Simon Bolivar or Pedro II.

North America: Anything south of Mexico.

Australia: Indonesia has a cooler history.

The Sixth Dynasty of the Old Kingdom of Egypt (2345-2185)

The Old Kingdom slowly decayed over a period of 160 years which inevitably lead to the First Intermediate Period without a true Egyptian kingdom.

The only other entities of note were Minoan Ancient Greece and the Akkadian Empire, and the Akkadian Empire pretty much conquered everything without any real opposition during this period of time.
