Christians like to argue that nonphysical things exist, like numbers, and therefore a nonphysical God could exist.

I don't think there are any good reasons to believe in nonphysical things. Numbers are represented in the brain as physical brain states. And then you have pairs of things in the world, or triplets of things, etc. At no point do you need to invoke nonphysical numbers to explain the universe. Just look at the physical stuff in the universe. Numbers can be understood purely in physical terms, without having to imagine extra nonphysical entities which aren't provable in any way.

I did. The directedness of thought within the operations of the intellect cannot be accounted for by simply physical phenomena. Mental states are directed towards objects or states of affairs- absoluteness of consciousness can't be explained in purely materialistic terms- since they can't explain how physical processes in the brain can give rise to subjective experiences that are "about" something.
Intentionality can't be reduced to correlations between mental states and mental content since they don't explain the INTRINSIC directedness of consciousness towards external objective stimuli. Mental states also carry intrinsic meaning I.E when thinking of an object, our thought isn't just a neural pattern, it's actually conceptualizing the object. The intrinsic meaning of mental states can't be reduced to physical processes in the brain. Materialistic accounts of consciousness can't explain these accounts, as such, it indicates the intellect is immaterial.

In both cases it is haraam to stay in such gatherings and it is haraam to visit such websites, except for one who will object to what they do and is able to put a stop to these offences. If he is not able to do that, and those people carry on with what they are doing, then it is not permissible to remain in that gathering and it is not permissible to visit those websites.

Why is the Trojan war so prevalent in popular culture? Ancient Greece and Troy at the time would seem to have been irrelevant compared to contemporaneous cultures such as that of the Hittite, Assyrian, Babylonian, and Egyptian empires.

>The connection between Luwian and Egyptian hieroglyphs supports Herodotus.
They're completley unrelated, and they were used by the Hittites as well, were Hittites also client kings of the Egyptians?
>Herodotus is textual evidence
It is not. He clearly claims a lot of absurd stuff, including his ridiculous interpretation of Luwian stelae.
> and cities having the same name.
This is how pseudoarchaeolgoists and pseudohistorians work, they mention names that are vaguely similar and claim that they have found an undeneniable connection without any further evidence. There's nothing approaching material evidence for an Egyptian colony anywhere in Asia Minor or Greece. Also Thebes wasn't called that in ancient Egyptian. The only Egyptian town whose name vaguely recalls that of a Greek town is Abedju which kinda sounds like Abydos, and since there are hundreds of Greeks towns and Egyptian towns it may very well be a coincidence.
> Herodotus says there are two and you mention but one copy.
There are remains of at least another one:

>>16524180
As an additional comment on pseudohistorians. I once read a guy "proving" that Quechua had Norse influence through the absolutely rigorous analysis of "Word A reads like Word B hence they must be related". His book contained such gems as "Olintonatiuh is actually a compound of Odin-Thor-Tyr" and "Tiwanakuh was built by vikings". He was pretty goofy.
>>
>>16524189
To De Mahieu's credit, he went all in and claimed the Vikings went on to first found Tiwanaku, lost, and fled either into the Jungle (where they became a tribe in the Paraguay), the pacific (where they became polynesians), or the highest peaks, where they became the Inca nobility.

How close are the native peoples of the Americas really to each other?
maybe they form a close cluster or not? Did/do they have a "large shared family" like some other people?
or are they just linked to a very general type of unity like the Caucasian peoples?
How close would a Mayan and a Tupi-Guarani be? probably the Indians in Canada are more Siberian than anything.

I'm so tired of life and I'm nearing 30. You age, you decay. You lose out on friends. Your parents leave you after their deaths. What remains? Family? If you have one, your wife will more than likely divorce you then take your kids away. Lastly if you had siblings they will have gone their separate ways after taking their inheritances upon the passing of your own parents. As if they never cared about you in the slightest. So what remains? Does this ever get better, /his/?

Who, exactly, can be considered “black”? Considering that black people come in various different shapes, sizes, and shades of brown, and there’s apparently like 36 different human skin colors, and “black” people can be found as being indigenous to not just Africa, but also in Australia, Melanesia, and the Philippines, and in Melanesia you can find “black” people with naturally blond, curly hair... just who, exactly, can be considered black?

Can it be said that white people made first contact with red people in the year 1492 with Christopher Columbus? Or, rather, in the year 1003 with Leif Erikson?

Can it be said that white people made first contact with yellow people in the 1270s with Marco Polo? Or had white people encountered yellow people previously? Were the Huns mongoloid?

When did white people make first contact with black people? In the year 1483 with Diogo Cão?

When did white people begin to refer to black people as “blacks”? And when did white people begin to refer to themselves as the “white race”? It’s my understanding that Europeans had been fighting against each other for thousands of years and were pretty racist and xenophobic toward each other. Like the Greeks considered themselves racially superior to their neighbors, such as the Thracians, Dacians, and Illyrians, right? And the Romans considered themselves racially superior to the Germans, right? But what I was wondering was when, exactly, did Europeans begin to collectively refer to themselves as “white people” or the “white race” or the “master race”? When did they look at themselves and say “We (Greeks, Thracians, Dacians, Illyrians, Romans, Germans, Gauls, Franks, Visigoths, Ostrogoths, Vikings, Picts, Scots, Britons, whatever, etc.) are all European. We are white people. We are the white race. The master race.”

Quick! Help me identify the cradles of the world's prime civilizations using this map!

#2). Caral-Supe civilization (c. 3500 BCE)
#3). Minoan civilization?
#4). Fertile Crescent civilization (c. 5500 BCE)
#5). Nubian civilization (c. 2500 BCE)
#6). Oxus, Jiroft, Helmand, Zayandeh, Banesh, and/or Elamite civilizations?
#7). Harrapan civilization (c. 3300 BCE)
#8). Yellow river civilization (c. 2000 BCE)

This seem to have had at least proto writing but and it's uncertain if it had influnces over the later culture of India, since there's a 1000+ years gap between that and the first urban literate culture in the area
>Zayandeh
Not a civilization
>Nubian civilization
An offshoot of Egyptian civilization even though it was distinct from it

I grew bored of him quickly.

JWanon (the one that used to draw stuff) hasn't posted here in years. It's just LARPers and bots.

Dirk is a faggot. He would demand IDs, as if anyone gave a shit about his opinion enough to follow him around like a social media personality. Easily the most insufferable religion poster.

So human history goes from Stone Age to Bronze Age to Iron Age, and then to Ancient Times to Medieval Times to Modern Times, right? But why does the Iron Age end before antiquity? They didn’t stop using iron during antiquity, did they? And how come there’s no “Steel Age” and “Inox Age”?

I never quite understood why it is that the Iron Age isn't said to have gone all the way up to like around the year 1855 CE. Then have the Steel Age start at 1855 CE and continue until the present.

Or have the Bronze Age get lumped into the Copper Age and have it run from circa 5000 BCE to 1200 BCE. Then have the Iron Age absorb the Steel Age so that we can be said to still be living in the Iron Age.

Why not go about it the way geologists have and use various tiers like "eons", "epochs", "eras", "periods", "ages", etc. and use the names of such ages and make them applicable universally instead of using random arbitrary ones like "Middle Ages" and "Renaissance"?

Why do retards think that square enclosures are some form of mysterious art? Pic related is from the Amazon and is touted as some great mystery that revolutionises archaeology and has "baffled experts. But it's literally just a square enclosure.

Below I'll post a pic of the vast network of "brickwork" enclosure cropmarks from Nottinghamshire and South Yorkshire. Nobody thinks these are some sort of complex geometric artwork, it's a network of field divisions and animal droveways dating to the late Iron Age-Early Roman transitional period.
Is it just Dunning-Kruger?
