TOP 10 PHILOSOPHIES:
@Paracelsus1092
@ViciousRicardan

(1) HUMANISM

"Man is the measure of all things"
"What a piece of work is a man, how noble in reason, how infinite in faculties, in form and moving how express and admirable, in action how like an angel, in apprehension how like a god: the beauty of the world, the paragon of animals!"
Ladies and gentleman - I am that man! And yes I know that soliloquy goes on to undercut that sentiment

Stark After Dark: Top 10 Mythology Books snark.substack.com/p/top-10-mytho…
Re-publishing my Top 10 Mythology Books, as I originally published them together with my Top 10 Mythologies and the combined feature was a little too long. (Also shuffled some entries)

HISTORY: TOP 10 WARS
(SPECIAL MENTION)
@Paracelsus1092
@ViciousRicardan

(13) MIGRATION PERIOD

The flip side of the fall of the western Roman Empire - from whose perspective it was a period of barbarian invasion
Exactly what it says on the tin - a period of large-scale migration, mostly Germanic migration, invasion and settlement of various tribes within Europe, establishing post-Roman European kingdoms
It is often classified into two waves, although it is most associated with the first wave (or Volkerwanderung) of big-named Germanic tribes - Visigoths, Vandals, Franks and Ostrogoths, as well as Angles and Saxons in Britain

HISTORY: TOP 10 WARS
(SPECIAL MENTION)
@Paracelsus1092
@ViciousRicardan

(12) BRONZE AGE COLLAPSE

Styled as World War Zero by some historians
The Bronze Age Collapse - or Late Bronze Age Collapse - was the widespread collapse of Mediterranean Bronze Age civilization in the 12th century BC, argued to be worse than the collapse of the western Roman Empire or even the worst case of societal collapse in human history
Minoan Crete and Mycenaean Greece - the Greeks of the Trojan War - were among the most famous casualties, ushering in the Greek Dark Ages for a few centuries

HISTORY: TOP 10 WARS
(SPECIAL MENTIONS)
@Paracelsus1092
@ViciousRicardan

That's right - I'm swapping in three new entries which I prefer for my Top 10 Wars (Special Mentions)

(8) KOREAN WAR (1950-1953)

Often labelled the forgotten war, at least in the United States Image
Or compared to WW1 as a conventional stalemate for most of its duration as well as its inconclusive ceasefire, with a tendency to overlook both for WW2, or the Korean War for the Vietnam War (with even the M*A*S*H* series set in the former being more a commentary on the latter)
Here in my special mentions for my Top 10 Wars of History, I've decided that this will not do – with the Korean War not only worthy of special mention along with the similarly overlooked First World War, but with both in god tier to boot

HISTORY: TOP 10 EMPIRES
(SPECIAL MENTION)
@Paracelsus1092
@ViciousRicardan

(19) CENTRAL AFRICAN EMPIRE

History's most ridiculous empire

Also the last empire in Africa, subsequent to the fall of the Ethiopian Empire
Indeed the penultimate country in the world to have a head of state with the title of Emperor, leaving Japan as the last country standing with an Emperor
The Central African Empire was achieved by the simple expedient of President Bokassa, military dictator of the Central African Republic, declaring himself Emperor and the republic an empire from 4 December 1976 to 21 September 1979
