During ancient roman times, what was stopping germs from taking roman technology and developing it just like how they adopted british technology and developing it during the industrial age?The romans were even trying to civilise them, why didnt a germ notice that it's better to shit in a toilet and in the woods?
>>538800807Certain things need to happen in order.You can't just begin building brick aquaducts and coloseums until the food making class produce enough to feed a large population "doing other stuff"
>>538800807>roman technologyRomans were good at logistics.Their technology notoriously sucked and came 99.9% from getting their ass kicked by one group with some random better tech and being able to copy and mass produce it harder than said group by the next battle.
>>538801883This; case in point, India
>>538800807Because Northern Europe had its own Guns Germs and Steel thing going on where the soil was too thick to farm until the invention of the heavy plough, which Rome never invented because they didn't need it. Germs had the same civilizational capacity as Romans, they literally just needed them programs.
> taking roman technology and developing it The Romans got as far as the ancient understanding of physics could take them, it took a millennium to get beyond that. They didn't even have the concept of force or gravity at the time and it really wouldn't become a thing until the middle ages. Without that you aren't getting anywhere technologically speaking.
>>538800807>He fell for roman propagandaGerms weren't wood-shitting uncivilized brutes.
>>538800807>During ancient roman times, what was stopping germs from taking roman technology and developing itGermans had advanced metallurgy and civil codes. They were a civilization like any other, and the Romans couldn't conquer them. Coincidentally, the Germans did conquer the Romans in the end.
>>538800807What a dumb question
>>538802233Even if Northern Europe somehow did have a dense population, it would (and did irl) take centuries to change the ancient understanding of physics that would allow for more advanced technology to be developed. There'd be no way for any ancient group to adopt and then improve on Roman technology. What they had was it, they developed up to the limits of their understanding of science.
Reminder that Rome did continue, what we call today byzantine empire, back in the day they were romans in all intents and purposes and literally called themselvems romans.Only after the fall on constantinope, the second rome died, its ashes gave birth to romania and more.You could argue the third rome is America today
>>538802813>You could argue the third rome is America todayAmerican's hegemony was shorter than Spain, England or France.
Frankish axe throwers and calvary were a force to be reckoned with
>>538802233>Germs had the same civilizational capacity as RomansTheir entire history is ruining Europe constantly since the fall of Rome with pointless wars, they're just as savage as Romans said they were.
>>538802813And it was John Philiponus, a Byzantine Greek who first pioneered the modern scientific concept of force with his theory of impetus in the 6th century AD right at the end of antiquity. All later medieval science would be built of his first initial ideas that strayed from the ancient ideas of motion. >>538803497>pointless warsyou're retarded to use that rhetoric for antiquity, their wars were the same types of wars as the wars of conquest that built Rome. The Roman Republic was at war almost every year of its existence, as was the empire. Even imagining a world without war was absurd.
>>538802435Where did they shit then?
>>538803847Before the brick shithouse, there was the wooden shithouse, in existance for a long long time.It's pretty basic, but humans figure that shit (pun intended) out pretty quick when there's real winters to consider. The "technology" was even brought to America by early colonizers.
>>538800807>During ancient roman times, what was stopping germs from taking roman technology and developing it just like how they adopted british technology and developing it during the industrial age?RESPONSE: They did. But if you're wondering why they didn't just become carbon copy "roman civilizations"...one could say the same reason why Japan & China have both adopted vast amounts of White technology, but wish to keep their distinct cultural idenitities 'living in the house of Shem'. The Romans were as much White as the other Germanic tribes of the Scythians & Celt (Lost 12 Tribes of Israel)..with their own distinct family. Think of it like each prince starts their own kingdom, with the blessing of their father the king.
