>>18011326Heavy stone concentrated in one place is very different from evenly distributed cargo. A few waves could flip you. That’s why most scholars think specially modified barges were used for short, calm stretches, not open sea voyages.
>>18011275It's a burial site. Whether the bones turned to dust or not, or if something is still there, I don't know. There are weak signals that it is a burial site. It has been excavated many times so who knows who took what without saying.The circle stones are tombs of very important people.
>>18012582maybe it was never finished and the bones were never buried. The king who built it could've been overthrown by people who neither finished it nor tore it down.

Do you believe in God?Why or why not?If your answer is "I'm not sure", then:Do you live your life as if God were real or not real?
>>18010838Generally, no, as often described.>why not?It is generally described as a disembodied mind existing outside of space and time that does things, which is incoherent.
>>18010838Kind of. I think there is a Platonic Monad, there might even be Henads (of which conceptions of the Christian/Jewish/Muslim God could be considered), Angels/Archons/Daemons, etc, but I don't believe in the idea of God as some all good loving creator.I'm not sure any of it is supposed to impact how I live my life though, beyond my fundamental makeup being determined via the eternal processes of this being(s) and the consequences thereof. I've tried praying I guess, I've tried reading some holy books, I've listened to many a lecture and read plenty of arguments, but eventually it all leads to a dead end. If there's a God, none of these things seem likely to lead to Him.
>>18010838Yes, because the King James Bible.
>>18010838I do, I don't really recall any question or topic that made more sense without a God in the picture.
>>18010838It dosent realy care if you believe in whatever, you still happen exactly as you do any way, believing in it is about as usefull as talking to rocks in a landslide
It has been a while since I've seen one of these threads. I have been weirdly attracted to Lorenzo de Medici lately
his brother was a cutie
>>18010657>History crushesLiterally all of them, i am attracted to special or relevant people and that's what history is about.I also love American 50s housewives and christcuck nuns (modern bimbos are hideous to me, but it has nothing to do with the amount of skin showed), i can't explain why but I know it's related to the fact that they have historical relevance, at least aesthetically.This is mostly about sex though, which is still about love, but not the kind of love that makes me want to spend a literal eternity with one woman.
>>18012074>i am attracted to special or relevant people and that's what history is about.I wonder how many histories and biographies were the result of the author having a thing for their subject. It's certainly a good motivator

What do you think of the British Empire? Was that term even used during its heyday, or is it post-World War II?

>>18012325>There are fuck all British history threads on /his/ because men in this godawful country prefer tiktok tier "vibes" history rather than getting a decent hold on the heritage of their nation.The fact that I have to share a board with foreigners has lead me to focus my historical attention on ancient rome since there's less nationalist shitflinging there, its very relieving to discuss history without having a Spaniard, Frenchman, American, or German barging in with Wikipedia battleboxes and bad faith arguments because their national pride depends on them winning a battle 300 years ago. This isn't unique to British history in any way most other nationalities face similar problems if they want to discuss their history here.
What is the true origin of the Slavic peoples?
>>18012586There is some factor causing a Balto-Slavic genetic drift, which makes the distance in the Yamnaya+WHG+EEF calculators suspiciously large. There is something undiscovered that could explain this. Something is missing, and it is not additional EHG, as some people say.Target: Russian_SmolenskDistance: 7.1946% / 0.0719463752.8 Yamnaya_RUS_Samara30.2 TUR_Barcin_N17.0 WHGTarget: NorwegianDistance: 4.6437% / 0.0464372550.2 Yamnaya_RUS_Samara34.0 TUR_Barcin_N15.8 WHG
They are just Balts who got mutted with Balkan people and others. There was just a huge study on it.
>>18012879The same applies to distances.

>>18012407Descendants of the slave caste of the PIE peoples. They have no ability to think for themselves and are by nature suited towards cruelty and despotism when left to their own devices because slaves interpret their masters as cruel overlords and don't see the clemency and sense of justice a master must have to be a true lord of men.

I have been studying the Greco-Bactrian Kingdom recently and absolutely fell in love with the diverse mix of cultures, religions and peoples that coexisted harmoniously on that ancient Post-Alexandrian succesor state, one of the most fascinating aspects of it was how Buddhism, Zoroastrianism and the Greek religion blended together and the same temples worshipped Zeus-Ahura Mazda with statues of Herakles and Jason as bodhisattvas. Why are abrahamists so opposed to this? Seems like absolutely the formula for harmonious religious coexistence and building of a joint pan-religious identity, why have abrahamic faiths to be so dogmatic and impose themselves when pre abrahamic faiths can so seamlessly and harmoniously blend?
Blame Abraham (if he existed) he ruined everything
>>18012857Because they centered their religion around a strict cannon and a set doctrine, an orthodoxy, with any deviation being labeled heresy
>>18012918That's so lame and close minded, I can understand why it appealed to the low IQ slaves and dregs, the human refuse of ancient society. >>18012873He did not, he was a mythical ancestor like many in other faiths. >>18012868Can be also a resort when you want to rule disparate nations and think genocide is stupid (sane, because it is.), itbcreates harmony and social cohesion, pre abrahamism all empires had it.
>>18012857>Why are abrahamic religions so deeply opposed to coexistence and Syncretism?Because they make an exclusive claim to the truth.>Not only are we correct, everybody else is wrong.This conviction has proven to be truly potent in history.
>>18012945Genocide is not the only alternative to syncretism. In fact, it was rare in the past.
How can you eat meat if you're against slavery, anon?
>>18011056They still have souls.
>>18011169Well.... If what goes around, comes around....Pretty sure I know what's comming around.Oh look! A happy butcher! So normal....and joyous....
If it is ok to eat meat why is it not ok to use animals as sex toys?
>>18010845Slavery is linked to milking cows or forcing chickens to lay eggs, not about killing a deer, you ass-hat. Thats why vegans even refuse to eat eggs.
>>18011433Citation desperately needed.
>>18012883What was common, precisely? The image appears ambiguous to me.
Could a philosopher king government actually work?
>>18012757Yeah I know what you mean but I think that for the ruler of a country someone should be more intelectual than practical man. You basically need to know about economy, history, intertacional politics, etc. All intellectual fields. Its's good that the rules has someone experience in real life working in a normal job, etc.? Yes it would be good so he/she can understand how daily life is for regular people.
>>18012768Kings have advisers for most of these. Being practical usually yields intellectual returns if your'e smart. But being intellectual doesn't often yield practical understanding regardless of IQ. It's much better to build your way up and fill in the gaps with experts than to become an expert and then try to piss from your ivory tower into a bucket on the first floor.
>>18003834does he have credible means of violence and reliable cash flow?
>>18003834For one generation, and then problems would likely arise, claimants to the throne and incompetent successors. If you want a monarchical system insulated from these issues, or at least prevented from them in good times, Europe's paternal monarchs spent a millennia and a half perfecting it.
