What historical fact sounds fake but is true?
>>18489726What fact are they talking about here?Also, the fact COVID was fake and a front for governments to see how much authoritarianism and erasure of rights they could get away with and it is a fucking lot. Even doctors nowadays are admitting they were only pushing COVID under coercion because of threats of losing their jobs, it was always just a flu

>>18489726During the Chinese civil war in 1948 Chiang spent over 50% of the entire year's military budget on a 2 week airlift for one city of manchuria.China was in a state of hyperinflation because the government was just printing money to pay for its expenditures, so the "budget" didn't even really exist anymore in the normal sense, but its still an incredible statistic that's completely true.
>>18489726The only recorded instance of Henry VIII ever expressing regret for an official act was a lament for his decision to execute Thomas Cromwell after he was unable to find anyone to replace his "most faithful servant," in the way Cromwell had replaced Wolsey. I think that's pretty incredible since he isn't recorded saying anything like that about his wives, for the devastation of the peasantry brought about by the dissolution of the monasteries and then using the money to enrich himself and fight pointless wars that accomplished nothing, which deprived the commoners of the huge amount of charitable works done by the monasteries and was nothing short of a cultural revolution. He never expressed a regret about his break with the church, or any of the countless other political prisoners who were executed on charges Henry knew or should have known were trumped up.

>>18489735Not history but it was a flu that killed at 3-5 times the rate of regular season flu. Could the response have been better? I guess. But hindsight is 20/20.
Gandhi implored Europeans and Jews to resist Hitler nonviolently. To put down their arms and give the Germans any land or property they desired, and to offer themselves to be killed, or to commit suicide. He felt this would rob the Germans of the satisfaction of seeing their enemies submit.
>>18489726People used to just sit on poles for days, they would erect a giant 50ft+ pole, climb it with a little platform, and just sit there and other people would come from all around to watch them, hoping they fell (which numerous people did) to the point business started hiring people to sit on poles so that loads of other people would come loiter near the business and probably buy stuff.
>>18489999the jam boy is right thoughbeit
>>18490050Are you referring to the Stylite movement, where monks would live on a little platform set on top of a tall column? The founder of that movement (though he did not intend to start a movement, merely to be an ascetic totally removed from society) lived on top of his column for 36 years https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simeon_Stylites

>>18490061no, nobody really did that. nobody made friends with lions and icons didnt cure the plague or repel bullets. none of that shit happened and these people pronably didnt even exist. listen to how stupid uou sound, yeah the stylite monks were great for local businesses, fucking moron.
This was a twitter thread a week ago...

>>18490068>it didn't. it was just a new flu nobody was immune to.… so it actually was a new flu that DID, in fact, kill much more frequently than the common cold? You’re literally saying the same thing. Low IQ brown moment

>>18490008The response wasn't just 'could have been better', it was a transparent (and successful) attempt to use the crisis to take trillions of dollars from taxpayers around the world and give it to the owners of big pharma. >>18490659Anyone who died, died because the major effort was made to let the crisis play out until the solution that involved trillions of dollars of profit was ready to go.
>>18490008The danger of influenza is seriously underplayed anyway, well at least when big pharma isn't trying to push the seasonal flu vaccines. The Spanish Flu was the deadliest disease outbreak in modern history after all.

>>18489726That Amazonians and Scythians knee capped and maimed male children to be subservient to women. I believe it may have happened on a small scale.> Some tell a story how the Amazonian women dislocate the joints of their male children while mere infants, some at the knee, and others at the hip-joint, that they may be maimed, and that the male sex may not conspire against the female, and that they use them as artisans to perform any sedentary work, such as that of a shoemaker or brazier.

The Roman Catholic Church arrived in Ireland (ie, the end of Ireland's own church system in favour of a link to Rome and the Pope) was imposed by the Kingdom of England. It was actually one of the major reasons behind England's first actual invasion of Ireland.

>>18490172The Egyptians knew about "Atlantis" because their cultural suncow worshipper ancestors from Göbekli Tepe had preserved maps of where it was, which the historians of Egypt were able to fact check from other sources.

>>18490170Yeah legion camps near celtic settlements lol
>>18490945gonna go out on a limb and say a roman soldier killing a crocodile in the near east sounds pretty believable. st george was probably real.
The first monotheistic religion was not abrahamic, in fact it was Atenism in ancient Egypt basically mandated by the pharaoh Akhenaten (although it didn't hold for long).Doesn't sound fake yet. What does sound fake though is the fact that the bible copied this religion lmao. The Hymn to Aten and Psalm 104 in the bible are very similar
>>18489978>devastation of the peasantry brought about by the dissolution of the monasteriesnever happened
>>18490971The Norsemen of Dublin answered to Canterbury in the late Anglo-Saxon period
>>18489726Funny thing about Herodotus, he makes people seethe to this very day.For example he makes no mention of "Israel" inspite of having visited the region and recorded all sorts of boring detail about it, all he ever mentions are Palestinians, Syrians and phonecians, as one would expect.Jews seethe about him endlessly for this...
>>18491098"Israel" is simply a denomination within Osirianism comprised of a mix of "hebrew" and priestly tribes loosely connected to Egypt.Just like how some berbers belong to the beliefsystem of the Siwa Oasis,- so does "Israel" belong to the western nomads tied to Egypt.It shouldn't be that hard to wrap ones head around this concept.The astronomical tradition stemming back to EEF cattleherders, and thus the Tepe-cultures, is only invisible to nepotistic retards.
>>18491110>western nomadsnortheastern... my bad. but since I'm already editing, it should be noted that Israel has a blend of anatolian migrants and eastern nomad tied to egypt. as their self described ancestors naming conventions attest to.
>>18491065You should also look into the 42 Laws of Maat, as well.Early Christianity is basicly a hybrid of Egyptian religion and Greek thought.
>>18490008>killed at 3-5 times the rate of regular season fluthat number is still ridiculously lowit just sounds seriousalso, most PCR tests failed and a ton of "covid deaths" are just influenza
>>18489735life expectancy dropped in 2020-21 worldwide
>>18491081what do you mean? The monasteries were the largest charitable organizations in the country. This was the reason for the fallout between Thomas Cromwell and Anne Boleyn. Cromwell thought the money from the dissolution should go to the King to fund his pointless wars with France. Boleyn argued it should be used to set up crown run charities to support widows orphans and other good causes. She started telling the king to "beware of evil ministers" and even told Cromwell she wanted to see his head removed from his shoulders. That was the reason Cromwell went to the king with his absurd adultery charge, that she'd not just had an affair, but had sex with 7 men at once.But it's also worth noting that the major peasant uprising brought about by the dissolution of the monasteries in the North of England was due to the loss of the monasteries as a major employer and charitable hub, that was not replaced with anything.
>>18491065atenism wasn't monotheistic (there is only one god), it was monistic (there is one god who is supreme to the other gods)
>>18491098Herodotus talks for 100 pages about Egypt including discussing at length the pyramids of giza and various theories of how they were built, but never mentions the sphinx. So does that mean it doesn't exist?
>>18491532>atenism wasn't monotheistic (there is only one god), it was monistic (there is one god who is supreme to the other gods)Wrong, that was kinda already the case with Ra before Aten.>In these texts, primarily hymns found in tombs of the period, the sun god's actions in the daily movement through the sky are characterized as his alone, ignoring the deities who were traditionally said to assist him>At some point, workmen began chiseling out the names and images of Amun and other deities in reliefs and inscriptions across the country.It was clearly an effort to make a monotheistic religion
>>18489726Empress Maria Theresia funded a scientific expedition into rural Moravia to settle the question if vampires are real. They concluded they aren't.
>>18489726Johan of Arc existed. A teenage peasant girl broke the siege of Orlean and crowned the king of France. Most historians even take her divine guidance as a matter of fact.
>>18491410>most PCR tests failedThe whole concept of using PCR tests for something like this was a failure. They're absolutely fine for working in a lab, being monitored by experts, but they're worthless for mass diagnosis. If something has a 1% false positive rate (PCR tests were worse than this but just for an example) that means that in a country where 1% of the population has covid, half of all positive results are false. For most of Mar to Apr to May 2020, most PCR tests were returning false positives. Huge numbers of people who died with false positives were marked down as 'covid deaths'. I don't recall any mainstream media or social media outside of 4chan and one or two shadowbanned YouTubers even mentioning this about false positives. In the last few years a few places have admitted that they were almost worthless (they work for creating panic but they don't admit to that part).
>>18489735Modern medicine had us avoiding regular shit like pandemics for so long that we genuinely forgot they're actually a normal part of nature and tards such as yourself went literally insane trying to come to terms with it. Shit like quarantines and mandatory innoculation weren't questioned back when people were actually accustomed to experiencing this sort of thing every few years. It's also probably why third world countries genuinely have less anti-vax hippies screeching around, the real existing threat of death from diseases actually reminds people what vaccination is meant for.
>>18490068>it was just a new flu nobody was immune to.damn, no shit?Just wait until you find out what virus the Spanish Flu was!
>>18491110>>18491112I thought the isrealites grew out of canaanite culture, or is that the same thing you are describing?
>>18491821Nothing like the lockdowns was ever attempted before in all of history. In most ways they were the opposite of a quarantine. In a quarantine you'd have (ideally) sensible economic and social units divided from each other to slow down the spread, and you'd have systems set up in each one to care for the people who did get sick. With lockdowns everyone was still exposed to everyone else in all kinds of overlapping ways (everyone was fully exposed at work and when shopping at the very least, since the social distancing was proven to be ineffective in those conditions), but the laws made it very difficult or even impossible for communities to help each other with any of it. I'm sure people always say during the actual outbreak that masks work, because that's the only way to get normies to use them at all. In the covid pandemic we had a situation where most people were convinced they worked well enough that they could do everything like normal, while almost all of those people used the masks in a way that rendered them ineffective or even counter-effective. You know that you were supposed to change the mask and wash your hands every time you touched the mask, right? I don't think I saw someone do that even once, so all they did do was expose themselves even more than a maskless person. And I'm also certain that people in third world countries will believe in most miracle cures when they're presented to them. It was very strange to see first worlders accept go all in on a miracle cure, even if it had worked that would have been a very bad precedent.
>>18491435People were prevented from going to hospitals and seeing their doctor worldwide. They were isolated, denied care, and made miserable and lonely and impoverished on a massive scale. It's a miracle that the life expectancy (of people in the UK anyway) only fell to that of 2008.
>>18491889>WorldwideWtf are you fags talking about, Sweden straight up had zero lockdown or restrictive measures and in Germany we were already running around in public and only wore N95 masks in closed spaces like the Metro or Bus
When the Lord calls the judgement of God through force in the voice of an archangel clothed in lien dipped in blood and the word of God spoke through him and the armies of heaven followed as they delivered the judgement of the Lord upon the wicked of the earth so they would feel the wrath of god as they were slain and cast into the lake of fire beginning the end of the reign of sin over man.
>>18491893I was just using "worldwide" because that anon used it. If we're being pedantic I'm sure life expectancy didn't go down for every single person in the world.
>>18489726if I remember correctly, historians used to think that the city of Troy was merely fiction until they found the ruins
>>18491904Yeah, I think there’s evidence to suggest the Trojan War was based on a distorted memory of a real conflict that happened at the end of the Bronze Age, which is curiously when the Greeks dated the Trojan War to.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZEvnUC2Hw9s
